Mother's Day Strike

You do not let it happen.

A common misconception people have is that they will rise to the occasion during a tense or dangerous situation, but that can't be further from the truth.
You need to plan for how you do not let it happen, otherwise you run a high risk of freezing up in the moment.

Of course. Planning is part of "You do not let it happen.".  And you do not let girl altar servers but strong young men. And you build churches the way the Sanctuary is truly protected.

Firstly, let's pray that the Pro-aborts follow through with their plans to disrupt us, and that they come at us hard.
This seems counter-intuitive, but it is the way to peace.
Whoever leaked the SCOTUS draft just gave the US a lifeline. This is not hyperbole.
By being attacked by the Left, and becoming the center of their attention, places us at the vanguard of anti-Leftist resistance and offers us the chance to displace the pagan Right as well.
This is how it always should have been, to resist the corruptions facing us today with the Truth. Somewhere along the way the Truth has fallen by the wayside in people's minds, but we can begin to correct that now.

We need to place at the front of our minds that the US public has no sympathy for the disruption of religious services of any creed. All we have to do is be ourselves. Prevent the Blessed Sacrament and people from being assaulted, but allow the Protestors to make themselves look bad, which they will do on their own.

Last, but most importantly, our priests will need support, and will be our leaders. We need to be ready to assist them in whatever capacity they need.
At the same time, we must take our safety, and the safety of our fellow parishioners, into our hand's as well. Our priests need to know they have a courageous and enthusiastic laity at their back, ready for action, so that they can be emboldened by this. Make yourselves easy to lead.

The higher priority goes to using this moment to show the nation who we are, not making a defense against the Lefties.

Disturbing a religious service is a felony.  That's why you video it.  You don't stomp their guts into the ground, you remove them.  You also were fearful that the felon was going to get violent.  No jury would convict.  Depends on your State, but who cares anyway.  Will you tolerate sacrilege?

It is a 100% guarantee that the police will do nothing to them regardless of the harm they cause up to and including murder.

That's what these miscreants want us to think. They want us to fear them.

No issues at the 7am Mass.

Thank you St Margaret of Castello for prayers answered.

Good. We shouldn't want them involved anyway because it would lessen our control over the situation.
Worrying, and, or complaining about the police not doing anything shows that a person is not looking at this situation the right way.

The reality is many cities might station an officer or two outside any areas of protest to prevent a confrontation between Massgoers and Protestors.
The same principal applies across the board whether police are involved or not, allow the Leftists to look bad.

Do NOT ever use anything like that.

And, in general, that sort of thing will get you killed. If the person you intend to use that device on sees you going for it, and he has a gun he's going to start going for it too; now you've brought a bean-bag shooter to a gun-fight. 

[Acolyte]

Common sense, of course. I'd never use one unless I'd have the drop on them. They have their place. Better than nothing if one is in an place where a lethal firearm is prohibited.

I'd never fire one in a church with laity or clergy near or behind the target. Same with a firearm.

Someone who would buy one thinking " this is all I need"  who has no tactical knowledge ? Sure, your thoughts make for great advice.

All quiet at 7:30 Mass this morning.

[sleepybluebird]

For the last few days, I was fearful about this possibly happening.  On the way to Mass this morning, my mom and I talked about it and agreed that if any protestors were outside, to be silent and follow whatever Father or the other men told us to do.  Father briefly mentioned it during announcements and reassured everyone that he had a plan in place if any protestors showed up.
So grateful that nothing happened!
Maybe the time will come that something will happen, so it is really comforting to know that 1) we stand with Christ and Truth, and 2) there are many, many brave men at our churches.

[The Curt Jester]

Nothing happened here at either of the two churches my family frequents.

I didn't think anyone was afraid of them, and I'm re-reading what I posted to try and figure out where you got the idea I was trying to say that. Perhaps you are afraid and are projecting.

I'm saying it's completely insane to note the legal consequences they may incur in a country whose courts and law enforcement are entirely saturated in corruption.

Thankfully, no satanic baby murdering advocates showed up at the Mass I attended this morning.

Well yesterday sure was disappointing. I though the Pro-aborts would be able to mobilize a lot more people using the opening momentum of the shock produced by news of Roe's inevitable fall.

If anything, in the Chicago area more, or at least just as many, Pro-lifers were marching at some point in the last week.

Gotta wait this week out though and see what the Pro-aborts will do.

Funny seeing all these familiar faces on the Pro-abort's side --Revolutionary Communists using the issue to drive Leftist revolution.

Sunsara Taylor, a Bob Avakian disciple, and high-ranking member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, is leading #riseup4abortionrights.
This group's (RevCom) method entails using agitation to put their opponent on the defensive, full of fear and anxiety, so they will lash out against innocents in unpopular ways so that the public's support not only turns away from from their opponents, but that Revcom becomes the people's champion and protector, justified in crushing their terroristic opponent with revolutionary combat. You can see this method applied in the Rwandan Genocide, in which the Communist Kagame, is appearing more-and-more to have engineered the race war against his own people so that he could break the legal and practical stalemate between the RPF and Hutu Power, and rise to the head of a international United Front that sill dominates Rwanda.
