And we won’t come back till it’s over... Cohan
Sedelandia and it’s cash-starved prelates’ reign of error is
coming to an end far sooner than we thought. On September 30, the weekly
collection at “One-Hand Dan’s” cult center dipped below $3,000. That would be a fortune to
most chapels, but the figure is barely at the subsistence level for the cult.
(Remember for some reason they feel obligated to pay a substantial salary the “principal” who was at the
center of the crisis they caused by keeping him.)
“One-Hand,” ever anxious about cash flow and vanishing
luxuries, tipped his hand in last week’s bulletin. He’s
tasted the bitter fruit of divisive sede
policies and arrogance. Southwestern Ohio is filled with many
independent-minded Catholics, who on a weekly basis now pick and choose which
chapel to attend for Sunday or holy-day Masses. They go for the sacraments,
not to line the pockets and stroke the fragile ego of the man in charge. “One-Hand”
sees the danger: the folks may, out of simple decency, throw a few bucks into the
collection plate, but they don’t make the big, home-budget-busting pledges
anymore. More worrisome is that these “floating” Catholics are immune to
fervid appeals from the pulpit for special donations to fund wild projects. They’re not members, so
they don’t feel any need to make a "sacrifice." (Besides, they’re all survivors
of sede-ism, so they know all the tricks the money-mad clergy use to separate them from their hard-earned dollars.)
We imagine “One-Hand” must have choked on his words
lamenting the divisions among traditional Catholics. It doesn’t take a
psychologist to detect the soul-rendering rage underlying the syrupy and hollow
piety of his message. The money’s drying up. That’s why filthy lucre’s haunting specter soon appears as “One-Hand” bemoans the fact that a “migrant population”
doesn’t “generally attend and faithfully support (emphasis ours)” one chapel.
Pistrina doesn’t understand why he bothers to comment at all. It’s over for
him and his posse. No one pays him any attention, except for a small minority
of brainwashed cultists. People haven’t forgotten the past. They remember how a
family was barred because they occasionally attended an SSPX Mass. They haven’t
forgotten the ugly events and uglier behavior of 2009. People know they have a wealth of
choices. When Bp. Ramolla returns to the area for good, there will be even more
options. (His Excellency’s seminary is incorporated in Ohio, so he’s got
roots.) Soon the cult-center will start losing some of its current members,
who’ll see the advantage of assisting at the Masses of different area chapels
each week. It's more convenient and easier on the wallet.
“One-Hand” just doesn’t get it that the whole charade has
been exposed. It’s clear to everyone that sedevacantism and the una-cum nonsense were mini Berlin Walls erected to divide
Catholics from each other. It’s also clear that these guys are not successors to the apostles
let alone to the learned Catholic clergy of the past. Their poor education is
revealed almost every time they open their mouths or write. In fact, in the
same bulletin announcement, “One-Hand,” just back from an escapist junket to
France and hoping to impress his low-life fan club, cloyingly writes ,“Merci, Sainte Thèrése!”
Yet every schoolboy and schoolgirl knows he got the accent marks
completely wrong: the name should
be written Thérèse. Obviously he’s in good company with
the Blunderer, whose amateurish and shoddy Work of Human Hands is full of such howlers.
The good news is that the people of Southwestern Ohio are on
the move and for all practical purposes are aliquid-pravi Catholics. When the union is formally established,
they’ll affiliate, and then it’s all over but the crying for “One-Hand” and his like.
