Last week, the Lepanto Institute’s president, Michael Hichborn, explained much of the Marxist and homosexual infiltration into the Catholic Church’s social justice agencies on Cliff Kincaid’s show, USA Survival. Covering topics ranging from Caritas Internationais’ leadership at the Communist World Social Forum, the same-sex “married” former vice-president at Catholic Relief Services, and the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, Hichborn’s research has revealed a network of corrupted morals throughout the world of Catholic social justice. And yet, as bad as things are, the history of the Church proves time and again that Our Lord’s promise to not leave us orphans and that the gates of Hell shall never prevail against the Church is an unbreakable vow.
You do NOT want to miss this explosive interview!
This a favorite tactic of propagandists: repeat a lie until you convince someone it is true.
The contribution tally for this organization puts the lie to the success of this strategy.
Unfortunately, the Lepanto Institute has nothing constructive to say.
Do yourself a favor…..Research the Editorials of Berlin’s Media, in the decade, 1930-1941…. Your future is written there…..Despite the # of homosexuals in, or, working for the Nazis, they were Purged, along qith those who supported them, as soon as Hitler’s Office was secured….
My Post was directed to “Matt”…Sorry..I. forgot to specify. Also Matt, I’ll be happy to “Debate” you using 3÷ syllable words & “name dropping” tactics…..I’m 74 & was taught by the best! RC Nuns & Priests…Further, it’s a blatant Lie that “nobody understood the Latin Mass”!! Latin was a Class, in GRADE SCHOOL! (Which was Free then!)
Lepanto points out that alleged Catholic Org. CRS, CCHD, Caritas, CHA promote a Homosexual abortionist agenda. Just pointing this out is “constructive”. Those Org. should be Expelled from the Catholic faith and its members disciplined and or excommunicated from the faith for their actions or worse still their inaction.
Yes, we are tired of hearing all day long on the media the lies and brainwashing of the left. Exposing that is constructive in itself.
Shocking, No longer will I contribute to CRS. As a member of the Rockland County Catholic Coalation I will spread the word. Let us begin saying the prayer to St. Michael after every Mass as we did years ago. We need his help now more than ever.
As was said in a ‘blockbuster’ summer movie some years ago, “Welcome to the party, pal!”
What was presented in the interview with Mr. Hitchborn is spot on as the evidence that he has researched is presented for all to know at length on this site. The time spent, the effort poured forth, the credible evidence, the articulate investigative reporting by Mr. Hitchborn is outstanding.
We also must point out that his humility is of great worth as a testament to his virtue which we find refreshing in journalism. This is what is needed, what is blessed by our Lord, and what we must be grateful for as we seldom experience this degree of trustworthiness in an individual in this evil and compromised age. Mr. Hitchborn is uncompromised in his endeavor to seek out the Truth. Thanks be to God. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
Why Perfect Is The Enemy Of Good
Why obsession with perfection can paralyze

As long as I can remember, I’ve been burdened with a desire for perfection in all my creative endeavors. No new sentence can be written until the previous one is just right. No garment painted can be abandoned until its texture seems utterly real, as if touching it wouldn’t yield the sensation of oil paint but of velvet, silk, or cotton. But my dogged pursuit of this verisimilitude has often proven itself to be the greatest obstacle to my achieving it.
We lose perspective on the quality of our creations the moment we create them. And the more we pore back over them in pursuit of a fresh perspective, the farther it moves away from us. Combine this with the need for perfection and the result is often paralysis.
The irony, of course, is that while “perfect” may exist as a concept that impels us to keep trying to better our work, any judgment that we’ve achieved it in any particular instance remains entirely subjective and therefore by definition imperfect. This almost certainly explains why we can judge something perfect one minute and then hopelessly flawed the next without making a single change.
The quest for perfection also leads to dithering: the endless reworking of a sentence or a melody or a sculpture from its original form until it comes full circle back to the form in which we originally laid it down. That trying out other possible forms may be the only way we become convinced that the original was, in fact, best, it wastes time and feels more like an itch we need to scratch than an effective creative process. And this, of course, presumes we’re able to make it back around to a form we even consider good, so confused is our judgment often made by this ruminative process. More commonly, we don’t so much finish a project as abandon it, not knowing what else to do to salvage it from the wreckage our own obsessive tinkering has produced.
And when we finally return to it later, we often find time away from it was the only thing that actually had the power to grant us what we most need: an improved ability to judge its quality objectively. And if we’re lucky we see, sometimes in a flash that lasts only a split second, not how to make it perfect but how to make it work.
Our development as a creator of good works must at some point involve us learning how to leverage our desire for perfection to impel us toward quality without becoming trapped in a miasma of permanent dissatisfaction with everything we create. At some point, we must remind ourselves, any changes we make to a creation no longer make it better but just different (and sometimes worse).
Recognizing that inflection point—the point at which our continuing to rework our work reaches a law of diminishing returns—is one of the hardest skills to learn, but also one of the most necessary. Sometimes our first attempt truly is best; sometimes it takes seventeen attempts to really nail it. But overworking something is just as bad as failing to polish it.
What helps to release me from the compulsion to create perfection, I’ve found, is striving to put into proper perspective the importance of the act of creation itself. When I’m immersed in the creative process, nothing feels more important to me at that moment than the thing which I’m creating. And though that sense of importance is what drives my passion and discipline (which in turn is what makes creating it possible at all), it also represents the source of the painful sense of urgency for the final result be perfect. Forcing myself, then, to recognize that in the grand scheme of life no one thing is so important to me or anyone else that failing to make it perfect will permanently impair my ability to be happy is what frees me from the need for it to be perfect. Freed then from the need to attain the unattainable, I can instead focus on enjoying the challenge of simply doing my best. Because if we allow ourselves to remain at the mercy of our desire for perfection, not only will the perfect elude us, so will the good.
Everyone strives for perfection, but this is not relevant here, for we can only have attained perfection when we reach heaven. But we are compelled to live by the truth, the truth of the Apostles and the Early Fathers.
VC II was clearly the beginning of all these chaos in the Church.
Marana tha!
Why are we not hearing outcries from Christian church leaders relating to
The gay marriage decision.
We just heard from the Episcopal Church, LOUD & CLEAR!
We should be able to relate to those caught in Hitler’s Germany!!
Even More, we MUST REMEMBER NUREMBERG, at the end of the War!!
How can ANY CHRISTIAN, or, ANY HUMANIST, justify FORCING Citizens to ACCEPT UNJUST LAWS….ESPECIALLY, ABORTION???? An American Judge issued the DEATH SENTENCE, on those Germans, Civilians and Military….for “FOLLOWING ORDERS”…..Further, the Nuremberg Court Proclaimed: “It’s Unlawful for ANYONE to Follow or Carry Out, Unjust Laws of any Nation, that will result in Genocide, the Murder of Innocent Civilians in War, or the Failure to Protect those Helpless to Protect themselves in Society in General. Every Citizen bears the DUTY to Object & Refuse to Carry Out such Laws or Orders…Recognized by the Natural Moral Law of God, Inherent in all Individuals.” We crossed that line in 1973 & are now living with the Consequences of “Choice”. Our Church is in the state of Apostosy, & has been for the past 40 yrs….It’s NOT only the Clergy! The American Laity got what they demanded! CHAOS is in the open now….A return to Christ is necessary by every individual. It will be painful for everyone….
I am not really surprised by this as I have heard repeatedly that after WWII up till the sixties from people like Bella Dodd Margaret Sanger and others recently that not just the Catholic Church but ALL Christian bodies were infiltrated betrayed and blackmail into no longer believing in Christianity much less the Holy Bible. These range from just Saul Alinksy type radicals and liberals to Freemasons.
We don’t give to the CRS campaign anymore either. And we teach CCD at our parish – when they give us the “rice bowls” every year we refuse to hand them out to our class. On top of that, we secretly take, bring home and throw all the rice bowls away when we see them in the back of the church.
Bergoglio is the ultimate embodiment of this: condoning Revolution “Theology”, pandering to aboriginal cults and Islam, proposing environmental obsession as a Christian duty, open to homosexual “families”, rebuffing multi-secular Catholic piety and the legacy of John-Paul II and reviving the disastrous Vatican II, etc. St Francis of Assisi he pretends to follow wanted his followers to make themselves as poor as possible to be free for God’s work – not grab power and forcibly redistribute wealth and privileges to a club of party members as in the USSR and modern red China. And by the way, how can charity be a good deed if it is compulsory? I wonder how Bergoglio ends and what comes after.
