Solutions to killing Catholic school kids in a violent world
“Countless kids killed every day..God stop the pandemic of arms around the world” Leo XiV regarding the Annunciation Stained Glass killer
“The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones” ~~ William Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar,” spoken by Marc Antony during his funeral oration for Caesar. This line reflects the idea that people’s wrongdoings are often remembered long after their good deeds are forgotten.
“We have to be men and women of hope” spoke Bishop Hebner in the wake of the senseless killing at one of his diocesan schools.
“I wish I could have thrown my body in the path of the bullets to save the kids” Annunciation parish priest, paraphrased emotionally but the same sentiment of EVERY teacher or leader in a school shooting over the last 100 years.
~~
In the past, national Media used to NOT ID to glorify killers, but other than this Annunciation Stained Glass killer and his~her ilk, no one likes seeing or hearing of Catholic school kids killed for being in church or class. None that I know. And AS USUAL, we don’t want to hear of another killing in the future. Time to go deep on the preparation without doing Pontius Pilates handwashing.
Note that the tragedy of Wednesday Aug 27, 2025’s 20 21 victims in Minneapolis, including the deaths of a 6 and 8 year old, is slightly overshadowed by all the heroics:
The student who was covered by his good friend who took a shotgun blast to his back. “A 10-year-old fifth grader, Weston H., told reporters in Minneapolis that his classmate, Victor, shielded him from gunfire during the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.”
First time I heard this brave kid Weston, I’ll never forget how he sounded so much like a famous Alex. You may have noticed, Weston is a voice doppleganger for 8 yr old Alex Pruitt of
Chicago, played by Alex Linz in Home Alone 3. Alex confronted a gun toting ‘elite’ gang of four and staved them off with ingenuity to save a critical ASIC military electronics chip, help his seasoned lady neighbor, saved and the nation. Recall, he alerted the cops that his neighbor was in need of medical attenton.
Lessons to be learned! I won’t post a picture of this fine young man but read the words from Weston:
“My friend Victor, like, saved me though. ‘Cause he laid on top of me. But he got hit,” “I was super scared for him. But I think now he’s OK…” “I hope you’re okay and I’m praying for you,” he said in a message to his friend.
What wise words! Not to mention, stories like the Minneapolis ER nurse who risked extra radiation dosing by stayed with, accompanied a young girl getting an MRI who was scared and alone. The teachers and first responders who showed their ability to respond and help. Also, kudos to the training the Annunciation kids received, though not in the church, they adapted: to respond by getting under the pews saving more lives.
We love the stories of heroics that come out of tragedies like this. Our best response, as in the past is: it could have been worse. Like you, I’m a bit tired of ‘Gee, only two kids died. It could have been 116, the number of sprayed bullets.” But, I truly believe it could have been and WILL be BETTER! IF we wake up and smell the goodness.
Facts of Academic Life: IF we could lay down our fiefdoms, our preferences on education and Church life for a moment: I don’t mean to upset Cardinal McElroy, who has been successfully relocated to the DC area. Thankfully, for him, it is a MUCH safer neighborhood now that the national guard is there and we’ve had no murders of black kids by other black gang kids for 14 15 xx days…and counting. Law and order works when it is allowed to and this season of DC peace could last a lot longer if…
Frankly, we southern california homeschoolers (our family is an intergenerational Catholic homeschooling family in year 42 so far) wish the Cardinal all the best where he should fit in well…DC. But recall, if you can, His Excellency Cardinal McElroy bizarre action: He banned Catholic homeschoolers from using San Diego diocese parish school facilities last Sept 2024. Important? Maybe. The stats don’t lie not everyone is a fan of Catholic homeschooling, which is more a permitted choice, but a lifestyle more and more are chosing.
Although the new DCardinal didn’t like the unwashed Catholic homeschoolers darkening “his” parish school rooms in San Diego:
There have been NO shootings at homeschooling events, homes or cooperatives in 50+ years including when parishes allow their homeschooling families the right to use their own parish’s facilities that they contribute to.
Frankly the closest homeschooler death recently, that I know of, would have been caused by water not bullets…the story for another time.
And yes, Cardinal, some homeschooled kids do go barefoot, on purpose when they are running around at a park day with other Catholic home-based educated children after a coop or separate day of classes. Grass and bare feet go well together when you are young or haven’t learned that being childlike is still an adult attribute.
But, parishes these days have many many cultures segregated only by mass times and interests; there are so many “communities” built into our active Catholic parishes. And some of the most engaged and productive are part of the homeschool movement in this unfolding Eucharistic Renaissance. Did you know a higher percentage of priest answered vocations (and consecrated religious women) come out of engaged Catholic homeschool “movements” and “communities”, ie families across the US? I see this after 33+ years of three different parish staffing experiences(DRE, Youth Dir etc).
Why no shootings? The why is not as important as being honest with ourselves even at the USCCB level and looking for reasonable, even undeniably simple solutions to Catholic school kids being at-risk, let alone abused or killed.
One area is the need to address more than guns and dysphorics: Huge hat tip to Drew Mariani, who had child crime expert Richard Wistoki on his Relevant Radio show 8/13/25 to discuss sextortion and online safety (10:53). Topics included: monitoring kids online (23:51), monitoring apps (33:01), and healing (36:51). Caller: kids shouldn’t have smartphones (42:37), this last is a no brainer today. Here are the invaluable links… https://relevantradio.com/2025/08/online-safety-for-kids/ Additional: https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/ and https://www.besureconsulting.com/
===============================
Suggestion #1: Go to your strengths in the laity. IF you haven’t hardened your church or school, maybe tomorrow is a good day to start.
Get parish adults, vets, officers and trained adults, to be there for the kids. This is nothing new: But FIRST you must take down the “This is a gun free zone” signs around Chicago etc. and our schools and churches; like honey on innocents, this attracts the unhinged future killers. And it is the most imbecilic signage: last weekend 70 Chicagoans were shot, and 11 diesd, mainly black and young; DC, no black gangbanger teens killed any black teen with the National Guard presence
Put up, including at city limits, signs that say a deterrent: “At our school, only three of our employees have weapons to stop you. We recommend you go after a softer target because you probably won’t leave our campus alive.” Or something similar. Why? The uncertainty principal works among unhinged cowards, especially the recent species of trans manifesto going after the innocent. I am not bearing false witness against those poor trans killers.
I looked into it: when the transgender estrogenized Tennessee boygirl realized her first, her prime target was too dangerous FOR HER, she went to and shot up a softer school target.
On March 27, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian Church in America parochial elementary school in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, when 28-year-old Aiden Hale (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale). By the way, the media refused to release her “manifesto” at the time.
Yes these unhinged killers are motivated, but they want quantity and the ease of the kill: hardened buildings stop the mentally challenged future killers.
Then DO what the sign says:
- Train and arm a certain number of (invite in and hire a security specialist to help plan) ) ;post training, concealed carry permit holder teachers and security plainclothes or uniformed; fandom seeking, manifesto wielding seeking killers are generally cowards and will not attempt to make the headlines when their chance for success is limited.
The media, as usual, is NOT our friend on this: notice they stopped broadcasting killers’ names but they are back to glorifying the demonic shooters. Just odd; you’d think general media would grow a conscience and THINK before they glorify but you can’t change human nature’s “If it bleeds, it leads”.
Reasonable Objection to guns in school go back decades and ever present: “I am a teacher and I don’t want to kill another human being; I will NOT carry a gun”.
This is both a common and understandable, yet sad reaction. The reason no homeschool shootings is the teacher, mom, dad, grandparent, is closest to the kids. Both familial, by blood and location. Yet, it is the same in our parish schools, the teacher or her aid are within 20 feet of every child in their classroom.
If any body could respond the quickest, it is the teacher, the person who “in loco parentis” under CCC2223, is the adult with primary responsibility temporarily assigned to her or him. The school AND specifically the teacher. Note that the parents HIRE the school to educate their children, choosing not to homeschool or use public schooling.
As the Annunciation school experience proved, yet again, valor showed up…but at what cost?
Annunciation school teachers, similar to Secret Service agents, rushed to protect their students and so many more would have died without the safe environment training
and quick response by people who care for the kids.
TGKiller, didn’t give a damn how many kids he took out. In fact, TGKiller stated, he was “obsessed with killing children” He was armed to get at least half; but when guys with a gun showed up, he was gone. 116 bullets discharged and 2 dead victims, one dead killer.
And like lemmings, the liberal minions are out, the ammophobiacs, gun haters not so anonymous are out pushing for yet another “assault automatic weapon” to be banned. Reality is: TGKiller only had semiauutomatic, no Tommy guns like in gangland Chicago yesteryear. Yet no discussion of the assault trans~dysphoric groomed former Annunciation killer’s being banned from our society and Church ministries.
Even the DOJustice is looking at banning transgendered people from owning guns, but that won’t satisfy people who want America emptied of ALL weapons. Well, except knives used at planned parenthood.
Church shootups are NOT new. Click back 7 years to First Baptist; 26 churchgoers are quickly dead and then: next door Texan neighbor Stephen Willeford stepped up.
“The armed civilian who used his assault rifle (author’s note: standard AR-15; no, AR does NOT stand for Assault Rifle #15) to stop Sunday’s mass murder of 26 Texas churchgoers has been hailed, rightly, as a hero, but Stephen Willeford is hardly unique. A number of armed American citizens have also used their firearms to stop or limit mass killings.
The former National Rifle Association instructor who lives next door to the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Spring, Texas, grabbed his AR-15-style rifle after hearing the gunfire and went over to investigate. Confronting the shooter, Devin Kelley, Willeford shot him in the leg and torso before Kelley dropped his weapon and fled the scene in his SUV.”
~~~
As horrific as Baptist Killer K’s rampage was, it could have been much worse if it wasn’t for Stephen Willeford. You’ve heard it before, some have ignored it but bad guys lose, once the good guys show up with a gun or other defensive devices. Willeford wouunded the bad boy and the killer soon suicided off the planet just like the Annuciation Stained Glass window shooter. Don’t hate me for pointing this out, but Hitler proved suicide is IN vogue and a huge part of the arsenal of the deranged. Ask Eva Brauh and his dog.
Mr. Willeford: “I thank my God, my Lord, protected me and gave me the skills to do what needed to be done,” Willeford told local media on Monday. “I just wish I could have gotten there faster.”
Thus, faster is one of the KEYs! Every minute counts for lives saved.
If Annunciation school had just one armed adult, maybe the two dead could have been zero. ‘Whatif’ 2020 hindsight is a silly game, but it points the obvious. The six minute typical response time from OFF site rescuers, insures more dead. Shorten response time and more will live. Simple supply and demand econ. The Church frowns on the Death Penalty but why do we insure it will be done to our precious kids by a scumbag, maybe due to dysphoric chemicals, parental mistakes like in stained glass TGKiller’s case this time or ?
Maybe a BETTER Solution to this dilemma: NON lethal defense! it works great!
Human nature 101: Majority of teachers will always refuse to conceal carry, even though they are the best line of defense. I believe the biggest concern they have is they are teachers, not cops and not trained. Frankly, the elephant in the room is they would hesitate, maybe not even target an obvious, armed threat even though his or her teacher actions would save lives. WE HAVE SOLVED THIS!!
THEY DON’T WANT TO KILL A FELLOW HUMAN BEING EVEN IF THAT “HUMAN” WANTS TO KILL HIM/HER. This is a part of decent peoples’ nature.
Bishops & other educational professionals: here’s a better Answer: Non Lethal ‘Byrna’!!
Go the tactical launcher route. A Byrna or similar. Never heard of a Byrna projectile launcher? The hand launcher does not kill the perp, it incapacitates him or her until help arrives. The 40 classroom kids stay alive, teacher’s a hero and no one dies.
Realize that bullets are designed to penetrate humans, they contain their propulsion (gun powder) within the bullet casing/’rounds’ inside the gun. A Byrna or other mfg. laucher uses highly compressed CO2 cartridges to “launch” super hard (NOT pointy!) spheres which incapacitate but don’t kill. a 250 pounder, let alone a scrawny 180 pound Annunciation kid killer, is down for 30 minutes until law enforcement arrives.
Results? The next Stained Glass Killer will go down, get arrested, arraigned and then possibly gets let go by some leftist loon judge because, after all he/she/it didn’t kill any of the kids in his manifesto. And besides, (s)he didn’t take the testosterone or estrogenic drugs today so he can plead mental illness.
Why? BECAUSE HE OR SHE, WHICHEVER THEIR BIRTH SEX IS, IS DYSPHORIC AND MENTALLY ILL.
Well the last legal part needs some work as our Constitutional Republic wakes up, but at least kids are saved.
Bishops: I want to help. I know you do as well. The current bishop of Minneapolis is Archbishop Bernard Hebda, who has served as the Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis since 2016…he definitely has his hands full and has shown brightly in his first words of hope. So, why not look and go a little deeper!
The Byrna Alternative. The Challenge:
the first bishop/cardinal who asks for it, will receive a hand held projectile launcher manufactured in Tennessee by Byrna, a gift from my wife and I. With a supply of .68 inch diameter projectiles (we can’t say or use bullets, caliber and guns because it scares people, remember. Byrna rounds are “round” spherical and not pointy) accompanying it.
These Byrna type devices are not lethal guns, and are legal and safe (unlike abortion that never was either safe tho “legal” in satan’s eyes) in all 50 states; this will cost the Beckman Ranch family $500, which might be better used for their 11 kids’ needs. But if ONE bishop or cardinal has the tools, maybe he can impress other prelates to do the same in their own diocese. Protecting kids is NOT the job of the USCCB, it is a LOCAL concern, a local responsibility at the parish level that need to address it directly as if kids’ lives are important.
Why am I so passionate about keeping Catholic kids alive; it’s more than I have 11 kids and supervised average 300+ kids in our various programs. I am just tired of the constant pontificating over situations that can be solved relatively simply IF we play “adults” and define terms without biases. Non lethal could become the solution to both gunfearing teachers and the need to stop a perp immediately if not sooner.
FYI: there are over 9,900 schools nationally already armed at various levels, practicing serious not nominal protection of their students; none of these recent shootings happened at schools with armed personnel.
These successful schools don’t fear guns but they do fear dying children under their watch. They are trained, ready as can be and no Chicago “gun free zone” welcome perps signs to be seen.
Honestly, it is cute we can have coffee and talk about the causes: smart phones too early for teens. Too much street violence. Too much violent video games, interactive or single. Too many guns in our homes. The child was too tightly toilet trained and not loved at birth. His parents let him be whatever he or she wanted to be including changing his name to a girl’s type and go trans. Like Wednesday’s Annunciation Stained Glass Killer. Have you read his manifesto yet? It’s insane…like the psychotropic laden druggie he was from Big Pharma.
Let’s put together a diocesan committee of subcommittees to review our next steps. Let’s reconvene in 2030 or later or get real istic! OR: ACT NOW like lives depend on action. They do!
The CAUSES don’t matter one bit, WHILE the Son of Stained Glass Killer shows up at your school office loaded for bear and asks where most of the kids are located. Single access is now commonly practiced, but it works as part of a whole researched plan; and yet still isn’t the best.
Knock yourself out digging around for the causes from decades ago: IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER when Catholic students are being Mass Shot at Mass. But NOW is the TIME to think and plan; you have ‘hardened’ the school & church, with concealed carry skilled adults, Byrnas or 22s, teachers or grandparents, security, or all of the above.
However, this next is critical: One big area is the link between demonic toxic masculinity fueled ‘transsexual community’ “awareness” and nurturing potential killers. BAsically, ‘trans industry tyranny, from the vulerable child thr levels of trans indoctrination at the classroom, school clubs, peer pressure tied to the non existent passive trans “community”
Suggestion#2 NOW is the time to get serious about transgenderism and promoting sexual shapeshifting.
STOP blind acceptance for trans identifying boys and girls, the dysphoric development IN our Catholic schools and parish ministries can be deadly. It should be handled with prayer and adult wisdom not wishful thinking.
This century, we Church folks have excelled at various “unforced errors”. This latest juxtaposition just happened where in too many of our nation’s Catholic high schools, even grammar, where pro life concepts and clubs are not wanted, while the growth of LGBTqXYZ clubs, and inherent acceptance, is pandemic.
‘CASE IN POINT: On the Relevant Radio Patrick Madrid show, adjacent to the stained glass killer shock unfolding, a high school freshman student called in, let’s name him John Paul.
The palpable irony is he is in a Southern California Catholic high school. His activities director told this incoming freshman that having a pro life club would not work at the school. Yet, one look at the school’s club roster would reveal it already has something called a LGBTqXYZ club. Probably just mild mannered discussion about…. are we nuts? No need to answer that!
As a Church, are we STILL comfortable just calling it “same sex attraction” and herding our Catholic high schoolers into their lunchtime LBGTqXYZ community clubs, bishops? According to canon law, the bishop is and has the primary role in guiding faith formation within his ordinary.
Yet, we the laity, as well, are we willing to BE the adults, SEEK the TRUTH and SPEAK the TRUTH yet? Can we consider reforming how we deal with and look at this modern outgrowth of “recreating” gender fluidics and human sexuality starting with psycho-social evolutions like toxic masculinity and shepherding kids to think on their own from 6 years old onward?
God did NOT ask a parents’ LGBTq support ministry to consult on His creation of male and female, with their unique qualities and designed in roles. There is an orchestrated transgender industrial social complex in high gear and God has called parents and Peter’s apostolic descendants to stand up for TRUTH and protect the little children.
Please note, bishops, priests, school leadership, parents: my whole life is Catholic education related.
My 10 siblings and I had 126 years of OC Catholic parish elementary and high (St Anthony Claret, Servite & Rosary Hi) in the 60s-80s. As well, beautiful Donna and I, with our 11 kids, have had 132 cumulative years of Catholic homeschooling, with our kids, as they grew up; it was unusual, but they were “immersed” in the sacramental programs at the three parishes I/we served on staff.
This last part should interest you, because the magisterium and catechism is clear about who is responsible for our children’s educational future. Apparently, I as the “principal” of our school have some bonafides to share this, being a type of 50 year ‘time capsule’. Truth is, I was conceived in Chicago three years before our new excellent and timely Pope Leo Xiii XiV though born in Pasadena, CA and still, I remain at age 73 active in SoCal Catholic ministries.
In fact, Donna and I had always worked alongside the parish schools’ principals and teachers, especially when we were DREs; we used the Anaheim classrooms that SD’s Cardinal McElroy was overly provincial about and worked hard NOT to leave a student desk in the wrong place for Wed mornings. We knew the PARISH owned the classrooms but we were guests as public school religious ed offspring.
Put simply, IF I was the high school president/principal and found out how the Love Boat Julie activities director handled new student John Paul, I would have her or him fired or at least reassigned. There are so many active teens and young adults involved in school and parish ProLife clubs, where the real violence is outed and dealt with; plus the young Catholics are active in helping as peer counselors
It’s time to be honest too! Word to the wise, leaders!:
- There is NO trans or LGBTqXYZ “community”. Today, with the left’s compulsive misuse of the English language, ‘Community’ is used so easily but it means “Common unity”. Factually, the closest “gay” (radicals love to ruin good English words) community, ie homosexual, is now an Biblical Archeology site: Sodom and Gomorrah. All the men clamoring at Lot’s door for the two Angels inside Lot’s home were a community of guys wanting to have sex with what they perceived as men. Today we call it “same sex attraction” acted out en masse! The angels “blinded” the reprobates but we cannot remain “blinded” to what is happening in this arena. It’s one thing, and should continue, to help young adults and teens work through their dysphoric same sex attraction; but God forbid, we continue this hellish push to create exercise zones at lunchtime and during class time about how to be homosexual, how to be trans. Never mentioned is how the girls devoid of breasts and reproductive organs often will contract depression, amplified dysphoria and commit suicide a decade later. Where will the horribly misnamed “gender affirming surgeons”? On their yachts out at sea.
- OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT REMADE GUINEA PIGS OF DR MENGELE, WHO EXPERIMENTED ON TWINS WITH HIENOUS SURGERIES UNDER HITLER’S TUTELAGE These demonic gender affirming careless mutilators need to be shut down YESTERDAY. Look in the mirror, leaders. Better, go to a school board meeting.
- Calling this amorphous grouping a “trans community” is nuts, it shows our immature ‘adult’ ignorance about our kids who need help with their dysphoria and moral compasses. NOT moral relativistic grooming to become death doctor fodder. Pre- and pubescence IS a time of sorting out, confusion, etc. that REQUIRES their parents and adults to BE adults: to give good advice from their well~formed consciences. NOT let dysphoric teachers and/or their like-minded teachers’ aides making clinical and psychological determinants for under age, minor children. It’s like relying on rapists to counsel rape victims because they’ve “been there” and actually are still violating women. Worse is when parents succumb and trans biased teachers think they are doing the family and kid a favor by hooking her up with “counselors” who extract the kid and put in group homes to accelerate the mutilation process. Even now, in California, there is
- Get to your local or county school board meetings. Yes, they are public and impact, especially in California, the future public indoctrination system. I have a evolving script below because this IS a critical area we Catholic educators, parents and leaders can have REAL impact.
Read the unwinding news!! The Annunciation stained glass killer was a former student, his parents encouraged his dysphoria, mom helped him change his name to Robin and probably provided “lethal” puberty or sex reassignment drugs for their future stained glass killer son. AND he was IN the school as a student at onetime.
The opponent is laughing all the way to his rotten lair; you might know, “Opponent” is the translation of the Hebrewized Persian word for satan. (Hat tip Fr Simon)
Actually how can you have community when there is ZERO fundamental agreement among these LGetc “leaders”, while we toss our precious kids to the liar’s den! In fact, with 100 manufactured genders, the ‘veteran’ LGBs disagree with the t’s and q’s acceptability to be a part of their “community”, there is NO common unity among the LGBTq crowd. And the population is NOT in the millions, as the fraud media pushes; better understand, the whole process is built ON a lie.
It remains OUTRAGEOUS how we adopt the death cultures’ vocabulary!? In southern Orange County, below the Y interchange, south county Catholic high Love Boat Julie put the full names of the clubs on the activities board at the high school so the teens can “choose?” False. Eliminating an excellent club successful on many high school and college campuses, stacks the desk for ignoring life issues critical in today’s political and real world climate. And giving a nod to the letters people, who hide their motives and ideology in a few initials.
Define the initials: LGBTq is alphabet soup for Lesbian (women having sex with other women), Homosexuals (man2man); or Gay which used to be part of the Flintstones show theme song and Christmas’ Joy to the World. BiSexual, oft missed, means guys and girls prefer having sex wantonly and whomever they are near in proximity. The death culture, as JPtheGreat Pope Saint calls it, loves to synthesize new words (like Gay) or misappropriate God’s and old symbols (like the Rainbow).
I believe a few of you have been to a public school board meeting. If you haven’t, this month is a good one to start, no matter WHICH month. By law, you have two to three minutes to speak your mind in the comments section of each district’s monthly meetings. These can be the most powerful 180 seconds in your and THEIR day. Just as powerful as the 17 seconds on average we have with the abortive girl to help her change her mind: on the sidewalk of planned parenthood HQ in Orange CA. Before they drive off, giving her a rose opens the door to Socratic questions, facts for free services sheets and genuine compassionate love. It saves more than the prebirth baby’s life, it helps to protect the vulnerable mother.
Since my youngest is an adult and we no longer are on a parish staff, and now feeding my 11 with the real estate profession, the last couple of years, I HAVE attended these meetings in different counties; my favorite, that shows just how far gone many public school districts are, is Sonja Shaw and the Chino Valley district. She showed our reprobate state public superintendent the door when Thurmond tried to take over the board meeting. Pardon my truth is slipping out, but the Dem one party state of silliness believes they, not the parents nor the Church, own the kids from birth to God knows when. The California Teachers’ union, the Calif Dept of Education Indoctrination, handles 330 billion $$$ every year.
You CAN do this: it is YOUR RIGHT and I dare say a responsibility to speak truth to error. After all, in California, 1/3 of a TRILLION $$ are GIVEN after being TAKEN from Catholic and other families, to the state government school system. So, as the planned parenthood supported “trans” resurrection has unfolded, I would take my 2-3 minutes to ask a couple questions of the board members…for example:
“School board member: thank you for your service. But why are you so hell bent in allowing or fostering our daughters toward suicide? You realize by promoting, yes promoting via your sympathetic teachers and green haired teacher’s aides, and student “clubs” LGBTrans acceptance, many of OUR life blood kids, the students will be groomed into depression, more anxiety and thinking they are ‘uncomfortable’ and in the wrong body by activists. (I look directly into the boarders eyes) Evidence exists, in less than a decade, a daughter that had her breasts chainsawed off and her vagina ravaged by Frankensteinian intrusive tools, will realize “I can’t nurse the child that I cannot bear/have”. Board members, this is YOUR responsibility to BE the adults and at least curtail this insanity.” Scripts change as needed.
Cardinals, bishops et al. The euphemistic “gender affirming care” has been found to be deadly, bankrupt and demonic. Why we don’t speak out and direct our Catholic hospitals and doctors to NOT mutilate our children is outrageous. Even the secular medical world is waking up while we tolerate high school activities directors giving free rein to clubs supervised by non Catholic misquided proctors while banning the area, prolife, where so much good is happening by student led efforts. Talk is cheap
Did you know Children’s Hospital of LA and Kaiser Permanente have just awaken: they just ended their demonic drugging, mutilating and neutering or “desexification” of our young. Maybe the liability and lawsuits is moving this along…I don’t care. Ending child mutilation, like abortion, must be our top priority
Bishops, the memories haven’t waned of previous “unforced errors”; just look at Buffalo’s payout. We’ve paid enough millions for sex abuse settlements, are we willing to start a new round when the poisoned fruit of our mismanaging the “truth” comes to bear? Sadly, I know of specific cases where the 5th grade trans explorer was showcased in the classrooms he/she/it (pick your preferred proNouns) occupies. Needless to say, the shocked mother and father of he/she/it’s classmates took their two middle school girls out of that parochial school immediately. I love the school, which I won’t identify, but a teeny amount of toxic viruses can destroy more than a classroom. Of course, we don’t mistreat the vulnerable dysphorics; like EVERYONE in life, we graciously practice the work of mercy to “the other”. Two spiritual works come to mind: “to instruct the ignorant” and “to counsel the doubtful”. The sad truth, many teens are more versed in the truth about male/female, how to handle classmates that are struggling, then their leaders in the Church. It’s not easy being a bishop, but we in the laity need more spiritual guidance than a DC cardinal playing Solomon and banishing his homeschooling parents and kids from paid for empty rooms at hours NOT occupied by the anointed Catholic school kids. It’s time my good leaders to be fearless, truth-filled, compassionate and BOLD! The world increasingly is dying to hear the truth.
===========
δυσφορία dysforia. From the Greek: severe unhappiness, anxiety, especially a person’s feeling of being very uncomfortable in their body or of being in the wrong body.
Not too long ago, transgenderism used to be considered a mental illness, from that Greek word Dysphoria. Translated “confusion”, instead of being the guidance for sound moral teachings during pubescent years, pre-, post- and present, we “cede” the guidance needed to non Christian ideologues who infiltrate with permission and destroy our kids. This is both outrageous and insane and some, but not all, of our nation’s bishops see this reality.
Catholic Hi school Love Boat Julie the activities director, you are 180 degrees off! Be thankful I am NOT your principal or school president. But think for a moment, your impact by your ignorant action; you could be setting the stage for the next trans manifesto and attempt to kill kids because they are there, NOT under adult supervision being groomed by an ideological cancer and vulnerable. This is NOT hyperbole but basic truth. High school teens are not equipped to truly understand the sickness built into demanding the right to alter God’s creative design decisions. The insanity is doubled if the trans involved teens act as counsel to each other in a club setting. If I knew your name I would send you, for free, a new book that should enlighten the world you are sentencing students in your care, into.
TranSanctuary are not necessary IF we adults teach the truth. And in this Eucharistic Renaissance, students are HUNGRY for the Truth, about themselves, their school, their world.
Seeds are planted, others nourish or poison, the results are harvested. The stained glass killer sought out a GunFree Zone; this Transhooter might be insane, but he’s not stupid: he wanted to make sure his plan had ultimate impact, he seemed to hate everyone but loved the mass killers. So his targets were in GunFree Central, inside a true sanctuary of love, a parish Church celebrating the Eternal Eucharistic Gift, Jesus the Christ.
Irony, we mentioned the Tennessee school trans killer and her hidden bizarre words; but in 2017, at First Baptist, Mr Willefort stopped the carnage at 26 with his well trained handling of bullets, wounding the killer who later killed himself. Just like the stained glass Annunciation killer. The next day after the First Baptist Texas event, I got calls that I was in the news in Texas; Mr. Willefort is my doppleganger, uncanny yes. But, he too showed that the Gospel of Life applies to saving as many lives, prebirth or after the “deWombing”, as we can.
I know I will never convince Cardinal McElroy of the good that homeschoolers do for the Church, with a higher than average number of answered “priest and religious” vocations; nor convince principals and teachers they not the police are the best defense for keeping parish based Catholic kids alive. Maybe they will take my advice and look into the Byrna solution, among other excellent improvements in school safety.
PLEASE do not fear guns, fear those untrained, criminal and civil, and abusive of their purpose. And frankly, is it time to ban knives from our day to day world?
Truth be told, Bishops and teachers, though stats are sketchy, curved knives called “currettes” are the #1 killer of young people: 65 million dead prebirth US kids over four decades by the sick ilk of planned parenthood.
Although the death medical industry today have switched to Auschwitz style mass chemical kills using mifeprestone as part of a one or two drug cocktail. How wise is that when a mother looks in the toilet to see her fully formed but small child floating below the rim. Before, she was the victim, misguided to kill her “clump of cells”. Now, she becomes complicit, still the victim but even more vulnerable for hell’s demonic opression. God help us! Maybe the Church, Autom would do big biz, should offer inexpensive mini caskets for toilet born small children.
But “suffer the little ones to come unto Me” are words to live by. Jesus knew what He was saying and doing…weaponizing “trans” confused kids and using them as leftist props is NOT part of His call. In case you are not aware, planned parenthood is the #1 provider of body altering

No one dies but the perpetrators are incapacitated. Teachers, realizing they are the PRIME defense when in class, need not fear. There is an easily concealed version too
Thank you for considering. First bishop to text or call me with the word “Bryna”. NO I don’t have stock just knowledge that fear stands for “False Expectations Appearing Real” is paralyzing good parents to wake up they are the first line of defense for their kidlings. Teachers, you can do this!
Ironically, my cell number is 714 267 1413 an uncanny clue to our 267th pope, known as the 14th following in Leo 13th’s footsteps. Email is Lenbeckman@gmail.com and articles can be found http://www.lifeoutloudest.com.
It’s NOT about me, I know I am a sinner, yet have my blessings a la 11 kids and 23 (new foster being adopted!) grandkids still following the faith of our Church fathers. People of God, it’s about the children of us all:
1) Defend them in our classrooms with wisdom.
2) Defend our students’ precious souls by NOT allowing clubs that are spawned in hell that insult God’s design.
The anti-God world excels in using abbreviations to hide the truth of evil, like LGBTqetc is alphabet soup for Lesbian (women desiring sex with other women), Homosexuals (man2man); or Gay which used to be part of the Flintstones show theme song and Christmas’ Joy to the World. BiSexual, oft missed, means guys and girls prefer having sex wantonly and whomever they are near in proximity. Trans is the new safe harbor for “everything goes” in recreating God’s sexes, so fluid you can change by the hour. The high priest? Mr. “gender fluids” trans governor Newsom.
The death culture, as JPtheGreat Pope Saint calls it, loves to synthesize new words (like Gay) or misappropriate God’s and old symbols (like the Rainbow).
And I know I have three fingers pointing back at me; too many of my 10 siblings have turned their back on our Church, fallen away, due in part to priest abuse that occurred in Europe by a traveling boy’s singing ministry in the 60s. Yet, my fervent prayer parallels Pope Leo’s call for peace on all levels, seeking the truth and SERVING the OTHER long before ourselves.
PS. I have written a song for our new pope (Ballad of the Pope of Peace and Hope Leo XiV) which I hope to get to him for his 70th birthday Sept 14th, the feast of the holy Cross. I was conceived in Chicago 4 years before Robert Francis Prevost was an embryo on the way to birth. However I was born in the tournament of Roses city, Pasadena and a Californian ever since.
Our Catholic school kids deserve a shot at life, not to be “shot” by the next unhinged mentally challenged seeker of fame confused about life by his or her’s addiction to violence groomed to perfection for the next group kill. Personally, I am optimistic that this time we will change up our service. The ‘free’ Byrna is only a prompt to make our worship places and ed centers as safe as possible. EACH parish NEEDS individual assessment of dangers andplanning; my school years church St Anthony Claret, has their stained glass above the 10 foot line but has six entrances. The Annunciation stained glass killer couldn’t do what he did and get full effect obviously. Don’t FEAR, plan.
Fake compassion and ignorance has NO place in our violent world today. Each parish and diocese has the talent, the tools and wisdom to make our parish schools safer than the 50 year history of modern Catholic home schooling. ZERO kills the noble goal! And prayer for a change of heart of the nation’s cardinal in DC. Homeschoolers are people too! and homeschooling IS a choice, a family lifestyle many more consider today.
These pastor’s words are echoed: “If I could have got between those bullets and the kids,” Father Zehren said, his voice breaking with emotion at an Aug. 30 news conference just outside Annunciation elementary school. And his words could be prophetic, IF we get serious about protecting the children from the killers, by equipping the teachers AND the school plant as if they are more important than a President, Pope, Bishop or Preborn Children.
Because They ARE! Just as valuable as the preborn, actually.
The Eucharistic Renaissance is unfolding before our eyes.
