Ukraine

I do not completely understand the politics between Russia and Ukraine, even after having it explained to me.  

But I can see that there has long been an effort underway to cajole us into supporting an American military intervention in the event Russia invaded Ukraine, and there is a Big Party Line that we are supposed to adopt now that this has happened.

I do not think I am equipped to opine as to which side is in the right in this conflict.  But after two solid years of wall-to-wall lies out of government, big business and their publicity agents in the "news" media, I am hard-pressed to see why I should believe anything they say about this affair now, or go in the direction to which they are now trying to drive me.  

Meanwhile, at least it's reassuring to know that while the world is melting down, the Catholic hierarchy is hard at work on projects that really matter, like stamping out the traditional Mass in parochial churches, and the Synod on Synodality.

  1. Dire times indeed. The Synod on Synodality made me roll my eyes and sure enough its fruits in our parish include a lot of modernism and flawed thinking.
    Putin is also a student of the WEF. Just saying. Don't trust his motives.

    1. The very name "Synod on Synodality" sounds like self-parody. Self-parody is the product of people with no sense of humor.

      I think we could really use the collegial consecration of Russia right about now.

  2. You may find LSP's article concerning the spiritual aspects of the conflict interesting, Anita. And the links he has in his post are excellent also.

  3. I believe, Anita, our engagement in a war in the Ukraine would not serve America's best interest. There are forces at work here, that appear to working toward war with Russia. Ever war.

    1. Yeah, our politicians, who have given up all pretense of serving the common good, have been pushing for war with Russia for years. Anything they want that badly can't be good.
