“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.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hilarious!
Great job, Father! I love these types of humorous posts. It lightens my mood. Thanks.
That was funny!!! :-D
That was great.
Cute.
Does anyone know what Mel’s doing next? I know he recently finished shooting a cop drama here in Boston.
I’m still holding out hope for an Edmund Campion biopic or Benson’s COME RACK! COME ROPE!
I wish I hadn’t read the comments before I started the clip. That was funny.
i think it’s kind of stupid…and below Mel, considering some of the substantial and edifying work he has done in the past
Mel does have a sense of humor. And he doesn’t take himself seriously.
I was completely suckered….nice one, Mel (and Father :-)
Another devotional film, so soon?
-L
So that’s what rich sedevacantists do in their spare time.
Who said that?
God bless Mel!
I see Mel is still hard at work ingratiating himself to the PETA folks…
Mel will stimulate sizzling doctrinal debates with his hermeneutic of Kentucky.
I’ll never be able to look at another bucket of chicken in the same way again.
Finger lickin’ good!
What a great laugh…thank you!
So, was it extra crispy or regular?
Ha, i was completely fooled!
And extra funny for me, because in reality Col. Sanders was a member of my Fraternity. But I may like this version better…
“We’re gonna need a bigger bucket.”
I loved it. Sometimes the world needs a good laugh. (Watch Sullivan’s Travels, 1941)
I knew something was afoot as soon as I saw Mel with the outrageous mustache! It looked too comical to take him seriously. FWIW
Guess where we are heading for lunch today? IT is FAT TUESDAY and I am sure the Colonel has what we are looking for.

For those who don’t know, the plantation shown is the famous Oak Alley in Louisiana, now a B&B.

I love fried Chicken and KFC (an frat bro once was Pres of the company)–but I think Popeye’s is far superior.
So much passion. So much pain.
I like the undertones of hope and survival, that we all can make it through such hardships as long as we don’t lose that which is most important to us… our “11th spice”.
Mel never disappoints me. This was fantastic.
And, Dan, I’ll take a sedevacantist any day over the novus ordo. Oops, who said that?
I have no clue what that was or why anybody would find it amusing. Weird television humor I guess. Never watch the stuff.
What the … ?
Seriously?
Anyone who takes a shot at KFC is ok by me. Isn’t the company owned by Pepsi Cola, one of the biggest supporters (big money) of Planned Parenthood?
Of course “PopeYes” is the bird of choice. And I think it is clear that Mr. Gibson in attacking KFC [not to be confused with KofC, or is it?] and therefore supporting PopeYes is signaling an impending rapprochement with the present pontificate.
