“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

What is the dominant Theme in this picture, I wonder?
… perhaps, I should ask, overarching?
” , , , and hotplate”
Got me to thinking and remembering.
Thinking: What, besides pasta sauces and stews, could be made on a single hotplate for a small dinner party?
Remembering: I was once at a summer house (prepared for power outages) with a chicken already thawed for roasting, and it was my turn to cook. Power went out. What to do? Use the propane hotplate!
Here’s what I did:
1. In a dutch oven, with butter and olive oil, brown the chicken on all sides. Remove.
2. Add chopped onions and garlic and saute. And add some thyme and parsley.
3. Put whole celery stalks on top of that, and put the chicken on top of the celery.
4. Fill pot with white wine up to the bottom of the chicken, cover, and steam the chicken. I forget exactly how long it took, about an hour and a half, iirc. You’ll prob have to add a bit more wine during.
5. Remove chicken celery to platter and tent with foil.
6. Add mushrooms to pot and make sauce. Then, put sauce in a thermos.
7. Make accompanying vegetable in pot.
(All kinds of variations possible, but that is what I did.)
It was some of the most moist chicken I’ve ever had.
Of course for a party, you can do a store-bought appetizer with drinks, serve bread with the main course, salad and cheese afterwards, and a store-bought dessert.
Just a thought.
Father, do you have a stockpile of food? Nothing crazy, just enough to last a week or two should the SHTF?
Domum! An important word in “Life of Brian” LOL!

sorry, ehm, rabbit hole… Iknow…
Not a rabbit hole at all! As a matter of fact it was a predicted digression!
Well done.
Thanks, dear Fr.! Are you a Monty Python fan by any chance? :-)
