Tiaras, Guam Killer & Non-Catholic Weddings
A Thoughtful Catholic Mother
Re: Boss Baby Presents Stupid Parents & Ill-bred 'Kids'
In the 1950s and earlier, the League of Decency and other Catholic organizations defended Catholics, especially children and by extension non-Catholics... May God have mercy on their souls. Nothing like a thoughtful Catholic mother, and father!
Now, we get trans freaks reading to kindergarten children.
TIA, if I stop commenting... it's because I had a massive heart attack seeing this total destruction.
Holy Souls in Purgatory, pray for us during this Great Apostasy.

Guam Killer
Now that our great president Trump is in love with KGB Putin and is considering the American commitment to defend Ukraine no longer an ideological obligation but a business deal, it is useful to remind your readers of a piece of old news from October last year.
China named one of its nuclear middle-range missiles “Guam killer” to signify that the CCP wants to destroy the U.S., not to make business with us. China, Russia, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba and Venezuela are all obedient to the same red handbook.
Check the text of the news, which I did very recently. It could not be more timely.

P.M.
Rapid expansion heading toward 1,000 warheads in coming years, as other U.S. adversaries also bulk up
October 28, 2024 - China is expanding the number of road-mobile DF-26 intermediate-range ballistic missiles that Beijing has called the “Guam killer” for its ability to attack American forces on the Pacific island, according to a new Defense Intelligence Agency report on foreign nuclear threats.
The DIA stated that China is deploying more DF-26s, described as Beijing’s first-ever precision-strike nuclear capability. “The commingling of nuclear and conventional capabilities raises the potential for inadvertent escalation during a conflict,” the report warned.
A photo included in the report shows the dual-capable DF-26 with a hinged payload door that can be used to load nuclear or conventional warheads. The report said the swappable warhead feature on the DF-26 is “unique among China’s nuclear-capable systems.”

Can I Attend to Non-Catholic Marriages?
Salve Maria!
Fr. Mike Schmitz of Ascension Presents released a video a few weeks ago telling Catholics it is okay to attend non-Catholic weddings. This is the same lesson I heard at St Anne’s in San Diego a few months ago.
I am curious if TIA would write an article on this issue. I see only this one by Fr Paul Sretenovic on the site:
However since he provides no Church documents but only his logic, it could be strengthened with more official teachings, but I am curious if there is any? He also says one can receive a dispensation if asked for by their Bishop, but would such a dispensation be valid?
Would a modern bishop just assume you are an idiot for even asking? Would an SSPX bishop be okay to ask? I am not planning to attend any but I would appreciate some solid evidence in case questions come up again.
In Jesu et Maria,
N.B.

TIA responds:
Dear N.B.,
You asked for Catholic doctrine backing the prohibition to attend non-Catholic or mixed-marriage ceremonies. In answer to your request we can provide the text of two canons of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, which deal with attending non-Catholic ceremonies, and establishes this:
Canon 2316
Whoever in any manner willingly and knowingly helps in the promulgation of heresy, or who communicates in things divine with heretics against the prescription of Canon 1258, is suspected of heresy.
To "communicate in things divine" includes attending their ceremonies.
Also, regarding the mixed-marriages the mind of the Church is duly expressed in the following text:
Canon 2319
§ 1. Those Catholics fall under automatic excommunication reserved to the Ordinary who:
- Enter marriage in the presence of a non-Catholic minister against the prescription of Canon 1063, § 1;
- Enter marriage with the explicit or implicit agreement that all or any of the children will be educated outside of the Catholic Church;
- Knowingly presume to offer their children to non-Catholic ministers for baptism;
- Being parents or holding the place of parents, knowingly hand their charges over for non-Catholic education or formation.
These canons reflect well the perennial dogma that outside of the Catholic Church there is no salvation. Now then, Vatican II in its Declaration Unitatis redintegratio on ecumenism, watered down all the condemnations of Protestantism and the Schismatics. Consequently, the 1983 New Code of Canon Law also abolished those punishments.
Today, we know that Vatican II was a landmark for the usurpation of the Catholic Church by Progressivism. We know that the goal of such takeover is to destroy the Catholic Faith and Morals.
The priests you quoted are concerned about keeping a good standing in the Conciliar Church, and thus may care about their careers much more than about Catholic Faith and Morals. Therefore, they tell people to attend those non-Catholic or mixed-marriages.
We who are counter-revolutionary lay Catholics are concerned about keeping a pure Faith and Morals and destroying Progressivism in the Church. Consequently, we advise those like you, who are of like mind and ask our opinion on attending non-Catholic or mixed-marriages, to be faithful to the mind of the Catholic Church for almost two millennia and to reject the progressivist changes.
Cordially

I received this video (below) from lady friend who suggested it for Ladies’ Tea, discussion and home school.
I found it interesting in many ways.
It is good to remember that Louis Martin, father of St. Therese Little Flower, was a very prosperous French jeweler. He supported his family very well by selling expensive jewelry he made, or bought for resale, and the repairing of fine clocks. He went to clock school in Switzerland. He retired at age 49 (if I am not mistaken). He also refused to work on Sundays.
Point: They worked with their hands. They made 'the beautiful' and it served them, and others who wanted Beauty and would pay for it.
His wife Zelie made fine very expensive lace at home and employed many.
He was also very masculine. He was in the local guard trained to fight Prussians "...with their black flags!" (quoted by St. Therese) with three foot long bayonets.
This all happened long before the death of beauty in “culture.” "Beauty is dead," said Fr. Joseph Greenwell
Thank you,
E.K.
