The traditional Latin Mass hosted by Mike Johnson for traditional Catholics (1) is truly noble because traditional Catholics (2) are hated precisely because they love the Lord as does Speaker Johnson. They believe He shed His blood on the cross for the remission of all sin,; that He died, was buried, and on the 3rd day He rose again, ascended into heaven (the 3rd heaven) and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty and will return again at the close of history whose Divine Author is God the Father. This statement of belief is also held by all faithful Protestants, Anglicans, and E. Orthodox.
As Cardinal Gerhard Müller authoritatively affirms, Catholics are Christians, not papists:
“Cardinal Müller: The nature, conditions, and limits of papal infallibility as an expression of the infallibility of the whole Church are defined in Chapter 4 of the Dogmatic Constitution Pastor aeternus of the First Vatican Council (1870). With reference to the integration of the supreme authority in the college of bishops, of which he is the visible head, Vatican II declares:
The infallibility with which the divine Redeemer wished to endow his Church in defining a doctrine of faith and morals extends as far as the deposit of divine revelation (divinae Revelationis depositum), which must be purely preserved and faithfully interpreted, requires. (Lumen Gentium 25)
What has the Church traditionally taught on the limits of papal authority?
Cardinal Müller: According to the divine authority of Christ, the revelation of God Himself is the basis and limit of the Church’s teaching and pastoral ministry: “Go to all nations…and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:20). The approach to a Catholic ecclesiology is important. In Lumen Gentium, Vatican II did not begin with the Pope because, contrary to what traditional Protestant polemics believed, the Catholic Church is not the Pope’s Church and Catholics are therefore not papists but Christians. Christ is the head of the Church and from Him all divine grace and truth passes to the members of His body, which is the Church. But He has also constituted it sacramentally as a visible community of confession, of the means of grace and of unity in episcopal leadership. That is why the bishops and priests teach, guide, and sanctify the faithful in the name of Christ (and not at all in the name of the Pope). (2)
For generations ill-will punches have been thrown by traditional Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and orthodox Protestants at each other .This long standing feud must stop because punching at each other only helps our enemy——Satan and his poisonous snakes and serpents–Global antiChrist Luciferians and their ground troops at national levels.
In the eyes of the antichrists, ALL orthodox Christians must be eradicated but NOT heretical ‘Christians”—progressive Catholics, progressive Protestants, progressive Anglicans, and progressive E Orthodox. This brotherhood of heretical ‘Christians” is acceptable to Satan and his ground troops and when finally traditional Catholics have been utterly defeated, the wicked will turn their guns full force on the rest of us.
Speaker Johnson therefore, is demonstrating what we are called to do, what we must do: stand together. The faithful must stand together and not apart throwing punches at each other. to the enjoyment of Satan. Let there be peace, agape love, and brotherhood among us.

I completely agree. Like one of the Founding fathers ( I forget whom) said: “Gentlemen, if we don’t hang together, then most assuredly we will all hang separately”.
I hope the enclosed clears up any misconceptions about Catholics.
I noted earlier that the FBI’s vendetta came from them, and the DoJ, following the SPLC. This should end with a change in leadership.
The FBI would better aim their efforts at monitoring Muslim mosques, since they have their very different Sharia laws which don’t support a free society. They do have an occasional Imam who rouses rebellion against non-Muslims. That of course requires an FBI that supports Constitutional laws, not like the present “woke” one.
