Labor Day. The Clerical Crisis. BBQ

Such are thoughts on my mind today.
Happy day of leisure to you all, though I'm not sure what to think about Labor Day.  Just another patriotic holiday to round out the summer?  Or a socialist holiday?  Dunno.  If you know, share below in the comments.

The current crisis in the Church.  Watching the post-Vignon report clash over what to do, who is to blame, and how high up the hierarchy will accountability be placed, is playing out like the last Presidential run, with all it's intrigue, controversy, and battling all the way to election night.  Dare we Trumpers hope for a similar kind of miracle in the Church, to expose and topple down the Establishment network of clerical child molesters?  Is it even conceivable that if that miracle should happen, probably at the hands of civil government and the media, that traditional restoration across the Universal Church might occur?

On the first point, I am hopeful; but on the second point I'm somewhat skeptical.  Not that I wouldn't love to see the Latin Mass become mainstream in every parish where it belongs.  Catholic Tradition after all is meant to be universal across the Church, as it is universal across the timeline of Church history

BBQ.  Well, it's Labor Day, so I think we're almost duty bound to grill or buy BBQ. I'm thinking to make my famous jalapeno poppers.

Happy Holiday!
