Too bad they serve Mammon, otherwise we might take their concerns seriously.

Prarie Grandpa,
You are spot on. I am in complete agreement with you, by vocation as physician, an
orientation to His simple Truth by profession and training:
-I rely on established physical facts ( science )
-I then admit that by vocation I am limited as demands an acknowledgement of the “practitioner” ( doctor ) – an admission, in the service to the other, to speak Truth that the “expert” does not know that which they do not know; the “art” of medicine, science , being imbued with unproven theoretical constructs & “probabilities”; the ability of a body to heal itself, in its essence, a miracle, and unrelated to anything which the health care provider might “do”.
-I then surrender to mystery and accept the gift of humility, as may be accompanied by an illumination of awareness, an inspiration of reason that gives thanks to God for any healing ( Jesus The True Healer )
When it comes to The Church , identifying the illness ( spiritual/moral/idelogical), it is the manifestation of the “ political” which points to diagnosis.
You are correct, diagnosis is not healing and illness requires “treatment”. I know , as I think you know, it is God alone , by His Will , who oversees the choices of men as may alllow, or not , the necessary therapeutic regime as might promulgate any healing. AND, this first requires that any individual, knowledgeable about their illness, or not, must choose to desire a healing as might amplify/invite the graces of God to provide for any healing discerned as necessary.
In other words, as a servant, I can go to knees, I can orient my heart & soul in Adoration before His Real Presence, and I can pray for the healing of the other. I can share the diagnosis & proposed treatment plan, BUT the patient ultimately must align their desires with God’s plan.This requires of the patient/anyone, an orientation of heart to pray as if a little child, as might be accomplished with an intention that God will illuminate their discernment, as illuminates any burden as might be their Cross.
That said, for myself, I prioritize Adoration as # 1, but the choice of anyone,as might prioritize Adoration as # 1 , is a free will choice.
In my role as physician, while I may at times be given the gift, a capability of diagnosing “political illness” (sin &/or knowing something about the state of soul), but , unless an infirm is awake enough to know themselves as ill, it is humanly unlikely that a humbling of self will manifest as contrition, an orientation of heart as might embrace True Healing, Jehovah Rapha ?
There is a saying, “physician heal thyself”; the expression not exclusively about illness or injury. The point being, for that person claiming to have solved a problem, they ought to apply that solution to themselves and those closest to them before taking it to others. For many religious they choose to remain stuck in their ideologies of theology by means of self justification and self righteousness.”They” , then impose rules & regulations on the other. “They” are no longer like little children, acting as adults, placing burdens & legalisms on others as only spreads their “illness”. “They”, being true believers,think themselves to be actually well and not in need of any healing – they think themselves other is rigid and imbued with clericalism akin to calling evil good and good evil. Unfortunately, in our present moment, this happens all too often ( and it can go both ways ).
Yet, we are not nihilists:
Nihilism is a philosophical concept that originated in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, and can be understood as a rejection of certain aspects of existence. It can encompass a range of views, from denying the meaning of life to rejecting political institutions.
We are existentialists:?
The opposite of an existentialist is a nihilist. An existentialist believes in free will, morality, and the validity of (some) knowledge, which are the primary factors that differentiate their beliefs from a nihilist.
Regardless of philosophy, like little children, those “lunatics that speak the truth, we know Christ’s Church will prevail and the gates of hell will never prevail. It is up to each of us to persevere in hope and not despair . It is necessary for each of us to reject the temptation of defeat, know Jesus is with us, Adore, and know that there is something which each of us can do !!! Pray, pray, pray that His Sacred Heart and Mary’s Immaculate Heart will triumph. No lamentation, but be joyful , as we offer reparation prayer for all the outrageous actions, , blasphemies, and sacrilegious conduct known to our awareness .
Blessings, Dr.Scott
Most Loved Anthony,
Today you shine the spotlight on Bishop Seitz , along with his Catholic cohorts, McElroy and the USCCB,this as inclusive to their ecumenical fellow travelers. Courageously your discussion is in keeping with your pattern of telling His Truths, focusing His Light on the USCCB’s claims of USA Christian persecution as the unrecognized consequence of USA governance asserting its sovereignty for its citizens. Your dissection of “realities” reveals the outrages straw man apologetic arguments which are being presented to USA Catholics by the USCCB in a “self dealing” effort foisted upon all of us lead by the advocacy’s of Seitz & McElroy – all for the love of money ( mamon ). The call is for Catholic tax payer charity to be prioritized as more “righteous” and distinct.as compared to the righteousness of elected representatives taking actions on behalf of The state for all citizens.
In short, Seitz and McElroy place themselves front and center , as might impose their agenda onto the whole of the USCCB , which is then obliged to speak with one voice as if representation of all USA Catholics. “Their” proclamation, by extension, seems to be that Catholic NGO’s be given government money for the purposes of the Universal Church , “Body of Christ”, which can also be known as globalism. The agenda of Seitz & McElroy, foisted upon USA Catholics by The Bishops, an imposition of the belief that charity begins with the love of money or worship of mamon.
The foundation for this apologetic,appearantly, is that The Body of Christ is the victim of arbitrary exploitation by political leaders- impending oppression and persecution to be accomplished by elected USA governance with evil intent. The “thread” running throughout their feigned plea for money , as might combat evil, is that “they” have the moral high ground – the claim of God’s righteousness being being both a transparent and obfuscated effort to obtain tax payer money for a self dealing agenda made in The Name of Jesus (charlatans soliciting money). The USCCB is lthen eager to embace the love of money as a religious organization ,to participate with the prince of the air, a cooperation with evil for the love of money. In other words, activities in orientation to conduct themselves in activities of secular activism promoting social engineering ( “social justice” better known as human trafficking & money laundering as benefits cartels).
It is breathtaking .Their proclaimed love for those “Christian” fails, by all reason, to recognize that the mystical Body of Christ, with wheat and tares mixed together throughout God’s creation, can not be separated one from the other by an act of declaration, a pronouncement that all is “Christian persecution” as might validate an identified motivation, a call of appeal to universal charity.
Upon proclaiming “their” justification, that everyone who is identified as vulnerable to be “wheat”, at the same time “they” declare that every present moment circumstance identified is in need of charitable action and that every “cause” is imbued by redeeming value. By extension, the claim seems to be that all present moment circumstances are the consequence of “they” being “good actors” with nobel intentions.
Indeed, recent history informs reason, at least for The Body of Christ USA ( arm or foot ), that The Church Militant, ubiquitous to anywhere global, is certainly comprised of wheat and tares. It can then be better understood as that there are political animals of different stripes or wheat and tares. In USA, most often, the tares seem to be of one political party and can be characterized as conducting themselves, in action, as wolves in sheep’s clothing (specific names come to mind, Biden & Pelosi).
That said, the USA foreign policy “doctrine”, declared by McElroy & Seitz,relies upon the ecumenical authority of the United Nations ( aka the Gordon- Cromwell Theological Seminary). Translation, the fears presented of impending Christian persecution, as might be perpetuated by newly elected “misguided” representative’s to USA governance, are to be known as political evil doers manipulating money. In actuality Seitz,McElroy , and complicit Bishops ( not all of them) reveal themselves as a manifestation of social justice activists or liberation theology evangelizers,who unwittingly or not, promote the causes of globalists and globalism. Seitz,McElroy, & Jimmy Martin, individually, seem as willing accomplices to the liturgy of mamon and Pride.
On another note, a different take , Bisop Baron was not moved to Minnesota as a steeping stone to “promotion” – he was in line to succeed Archbishop Gomez , now age 73 Los Angeles, prior to the assignment ? It is of some political value to observe that Bisop’s Baron Word on Fire caught fire in 2020 – the EWTN organization became rocked by internal conflict as the George Floyd riots unfolded; there is a certain Gloria Purvis who seems to have been forced out of the organization because of her vociferous
claims of George Floyd racism based upon CRT theology, as she gave herself to be that voice that declared the theology of systemic USA oppression and racism to those who spoke “The Word on Fire”. Gloria’s self made radicalization became voiced as inclusive to the whole of USA Church ( internationalism), which put her at odds with both the Word on Fire and EWTN organization; by her actions she made herself toxic to Bishop Baron’s leadership. When she left, presumably disgruntled, Bisop Baron became labeled as a Bishop of white privilege and by inference a racist & a supporter of “secularist” Jordan Peterson. Only months after Gloria Purvis departed to do her own thing, pod cast, as well as continuing her Notre Dame position as faculty teaching systemic racism, that Bishop Baron seems to have been “demoted” to the frigid Siberia of Minneapolis – St.Paul ?
Thanks again for all you do !!
Blessings, Dr.Scott
Dear Dr. Scott,
How does all of “the above” stand in the
Light of the Real Presence . . against which —as
we know — the “gates of Hell” will never prevail?
A thorough [ I think; you’ve done all the “homework” ]
political analysis you have presented here.
But Prairie Grandpa here has obtained a simpler
Wisdom from observing the birth and growing of
eight grandchildren, whose very existence, utterings
and mutterings and mischieve have not yet reached
the age of reason . . and consequent complexities of
“political” thinking.
An old [ Dutch? ] saying sums it up: “Children and
lunatics speak the truth”.
Mind you Gramps here is deeply grateful for the
St.Thomas Mores and HONEST lawyers and
Politicians of today.
