    My camper is big enough, 30 feet or about 9 meters, that it’s more like living in a small mobile home than what you might think of as a camper. So it’s more than adequate for one guy. It will be four years living in it this January 1st and fortunately I’ve had no problems to straighten out during the several times I have been seriously ill in the last four years.

    I have water, electricity, a propane water heater and propane furnace heat, so I don’t even have to keep my wood stove going if I’m under the weather.

    The biggest hurdle now is during the winter when I can’t leave my hose connected or it will freeze. Then I have to fill my onboard water tank and drain the hose and turn off the spigot then repeat the process every couple days when my onboard water tank runs dry.

    I can’t imagine anyone presenting a gift that screams violence. :eek: Makes you wonder what ran through Cindy’s mind when she selected a creepy figure that looks like it just committed murder. Something very wrong here. Pachamama part 2!

    It’s from the Babylon Bee. So it’s satire. I think…

    Pope Francis Warns Against Narrow Gate, Says Wide, Broad Road Is Fine
    VATICAN — Pope Francis today released a papal decree warning Christians against going through the narrow gate, and instead encouraging everyone to take the broad road.

    "Take it from me - the broad, easy road is just fine," said Pope Francis. "Tell those troublemakers admonishing people to walk through the narrow gate to R-E-L-A-X."

    While faithful Catholics still hold to the Church's teachings on homosexuality and gender, even in the face of increasing persecution, Pope Francis has called on them to just chill out and stop being so uptight. "If people are persecuting you, you're doing something wrong," said Pope Francis. "Forget the two millennia of the Church standing its ground -- embrace the culture! I've been doing it for years, and now the Chinese Communist Party loves me, the LGBT community loves me, and all the newspapers and magazines love me. I must be doing something right."

    At publishing time, Pope Francis had begun to wonder why there was always a little guy with a pitchfork on his shoulder whispering into his ear.

    An Open Letter to Pope Francis

    10/6/2023
    Dear Pope Francis,

    I am writing to you in the spirit of parrhesia, a biblical word you have used several times to encourage us to speak freely, boldly, and without fear of disagreement. In your opening speech to the Synod delegates on Wednesday, you said that “everyone needs to express themselves freely.” Please receive the following words freely, not from Rome, but from the peripheries, from a simple parish priest.

    My Papa Francesco, I must tell you that you are making my job as a parish priest difficult. I work in one of the declining parishes of San Francisco, California, a city that prides itself in having evolved beyond faith in God. In my city, the faith is openly mocked and attacked, and my parishioners are struggling to believe in Jesus. Most of their family members, friends, and co-workers have abandoned the Christian faith. My parishioners cannot wear a cross or speak the name of Jesus at work for fear of losing their jobs. Our schools teach their children from kindergarten to doubt the natural goodness of their bodies, and to despise marriage and family life. My parishioners are clinging to the simple truths of our faith, especially the Church’s teachings about the human person.

    When you promote homosexuality, Holy Father, you hurt me and my parish. When you do not speak clearly, you make my priestly task very difficult. You have said that two men cannot “marry,” and that homosexual acts are wrong, but you also encourage bishops who bless same-sex unions. A female student from my parish, who attends a Jesuit-owned university, “married” another woman according to United States law. She later surgically removed her breasts and uterus to appear like a man. She hates her mother for raising her Catholic, and her mother grieves the loss of her daughter and grandchildren. But this college student points to you, Holy Father. She says you permit blessings for homosexual unions in Germany, and that you favor priests and cardinals who promote homosexual relations. She knows that you have appointed a European cardinal who promotes homosexual unions to lead the Synod.

    You are my spiritual father, Papa Francesco. Please know that you are hurting me, and hurting my parish. We need you to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ clearly in a time of great confusion and hurt. We need you to teach the simple truth of the first book of the Bible, that God made us male and female, and for this reason “a man clings to his wife, and the two become one flesh.” If you do not teach this clearly, we parish priests cannot evangelize our people well, and all the people suffer.

    Fr. Joseph Illo, Star of the Sea Parish, San Francisco, California, United States of America

  9. Hi Brian
    More calumny than satire in your post from The Babylon Bee?

    “And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

    Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

    I had to ask myself again, “What are you doing here, Joseph?”

    Safe under the Holy Cloaks of St Joseph and Elijah.

    Feel free to see yourself out, Joe. This isn’t an airport, no need to announce your departure.

    Pope Francis Tells Vaccine Skeptics to Stop Being Idiots and Get Their Shots

    Speaking to reporters, Francis seemed to suggest that Burke, like others who have been hospitalized or died for no good reason, was what the bible refers to as a “f--king idiot.”

    This is terrifying...I can't even begin to guess how many will die...Cancer Reactivation.

    The full video if you have time (1 hour 16)

    With distinguished Professor Dalgleish - how the vaccines suppresses immune system - and also how they are linked to an explosion of cancer reactivation.


    Brilliant quote (about 12 minute mark) that 'the ministry of Orwellian truth' had taken over the covid & vaccine narrative.
    The British Medical Journal refused to publish his findings as it was 'not in the public interest'.

    Iv'e only watched half an hour - it is one of the most chilling videos I have ever watched - the Orwellian censorship goes right to the very top - and the media are not allowed to report on any other narrative than that which the government allows.

    Yes. I watched it a few days ago. He has the receipts as they say. So chilling. The science that everyone wants to follow( she said sarcastically) is showing definitively that the boosters are doing great harm to cancer patients. And maybe to immune systems in general.

    Yes. Megyn Kelly suffered an autoimmune disorder immediately after her vaccine and talks about it now. Clots - heart, lungs, limbs, brain, cancers, autoimmune disorders and decreased response to viral infections. I’m sure with time many more.

    The biggest crime against humanity in all of history.

    I can't even begin to tell you how many young women (20's and 30's) that I have assisted in breast cancer surgeries in the past year. :cry::cry::cry:
