Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Please God, let me remain intransigently faithful like St. Andrew.

Enough relativism. Enough lukewarm, wishy-washy, go-along-to-get-along, hyper-feminine groveling with the objective of being falsely “loved” by the world. Enough. Enough of being painted as some sort of malefactor or moral degenerate for the crime of ACTUALLY BELIEVING SOMETHING.
Hear this now: the world is dying precisely because of a lack of intransigence on the part of Christians. The Church has lost fully 99% of its members in the last fifty years precisely because of a lack of intransigence with regards to the One, True Faith and the Liturgy. Oh, but the musloids are intransigent. As are the Marxists. The old adage is true; if a man believes in nothing, he will fall for anything, and the only belief that is permitted and that anyone seems to believe with any intransigence anymore in Wetern Civilization is the belief that there is no transcendant, objective Truth. And yes, since that transcendant, objective Truth is Jesus Christ Himself, either you cling to It intransigently, or you will die the eternal, everlasting death.
Saint Andrew hung on his x-beam cross dying for TWO DAYS and preached the Gospel the whole time. He didn’t DIALOGUE. He MONOLOGUED. Saint Andrew REMAINED INTRANSIGENTLY FAITHFUL.
Saint Andrew, pray for us!
“The other is the self-absorbed promethean neopelagianism of those who ultimately trust only in their own powers and feel superior to others because they observe certain rules or remain intransigently faithful to a particular Catholic style from the past.” -Pope Francis
