Early this morning I saw this gargantuan planet directly above HSH. Yikes! This is best my little camera could do:
Looking down… Yikes!
स्वागतम् Welcome! ᏥᎷᎩ! !السلام عليكم Welkom! Willkommen! 欢 迎 Bem-vindo! Salve! ¡Bienvenido! !ברוך בואך הבייתה Soyez le bienvenu! Xαρις σοι και ειρηνη! Benvenuto!
$0.00 so far for APRIL 2013 for Holy Souls Hermitage. That's surprising. The starting amount is $0.00 and the desired goal is $0.00. If I actually solicited donations, I would have to be a 501(c)3, which requires paying into the Obamacare abortion insurance program. Catholics need not apply. So, if you force donations on me, well, that's up to you. I explain it best on the Benefactors! page. I'm very thankful for what I have, and content with whatever there is. I thank all who have forced donations on Holy Souls Hermitage against all my protestations. I pray for you all daily, and offer Holy Mass for you about once a month.-
Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. All told, Masses offered for Benedict XVI came to 918.
י ב ר כ ך י ה ו ה ב ה ת א ם ל ת פ י ל ת מ ר י ם ה ק ד ו ש ה
May the Lord continue to bless you
according to the intercession of Mary Most Holy 
Proud to be a 4th degree K of C
N.B. As far as I understand, if you a non-practicing Catholic Knight, vid., a pro-abort politician, your membership remains because of laws about any purchased insurance. It seems that if such pro-aborts could be thrown out, they would be thrown out.

HSH AUTISM SOLIDARITY
Dear seminarians, fellow priests and bishops... don't say you can’t be bothered to join in this novena for the healing of autistic children and adults and for help for their families, carers and the professionals who work with them. Send in the first names of those with autism.
When I was a chaplain in Lourdes I also used to bring the names of these kids to the prayer box in the grotto at Lourdes.
For the full story, go HERE!
Here is a recently updated list of names of those who have joined the novena so far. Remember: Each name here carries a hugely awesome story of joy, anguish, pain, exhilaration, confusion, prayer – and lots and lots and lots of worry. Say a prayer for them now. Don’t forget: their souls are sustaining yours. Really, don’t forget that, not even for an instant. You will be happy you didn’t forget when they welcome you into heaven, and you are astonished at how they, by their prayers, got you into the pearly gates, even if just barely! It is the souls of just such as these which sustain seminarians, priests and bishops. Am I not right? Say a prayer for them now.

Ferocious HSH series on the Beatitudes
Ferocious HSH series on Confession!
- The Seal of Confession, Burning at the Stake, and the Holy Mother of God -- Priests and bishops need to read this one especially. Yikes!
- Taking in the view during my Confession run -- This includes my brothers all time favorite picture on the blog (and with a gazillion pictures, that's saying a lot). Great advice about how to go to Confession.
- A hermit does not "FIND HIMSELF" ever! -- This is one of personal favorites. Brief but to the point about being found by our Heavenly Father instead of pretending to find Him.
- I got my vocation going to Confession -- Meet a seminarian from Denver who got his vocation going to Confession. Way, way cool, that.
- My fellow Bishops and Priests, is not our own going to Confession the Heart of the New Evangelization? -- The answer to that would be yes. Plus, a great cartoon.
- "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" And then: "I hate other priests who tell me I'm on a slippery slope for not saying the Liturgy of the Hours" -- Yikes! A bit of a monitum.
- Saint or Sinner: It's Either Both or None -- This is another of my favorite posts on the blog.
- JESUS GOES TO CONFESSION -- Another of my favorites! If you want to know how much Jesus loves us, this post will give you an indication. A seven-fold Yikes!
- Dangers on the Road to Confession -- Ever get the impression that there's always something which stops you from getting to Confession? Here's the post for you (some great pictures!)
- EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE for adults using the Commandments and Precepts of the Church -- You asked for it. Here it is!
- I would like to make a GENERAL CONFESSION Father! -- Some essential advice about General Confessions, which are not the same as General Absolutions!
- How to find a GOOD CONFESSOR
- How to avoid a BAD CONFESSOR
- On the INDIRECT Breaking of the Seal of Confession: NEFAS EST! Do it and you're done!
- Circular Letter of the Holy See on the Integrity of the Sacrament of Penance
Ferocious HSH Series on Priestly Celibacy
- The Biblical Foundation of Priestly Celibacy by Father Ignace de la Potterie, S.J. This is one of the more visited posts of the blog. Father Ignace was a good friend. A confidant. I used this in a course on priestly celibacy that I gave at the Pontifical College Josephinum. I was very pleased that so many of the seminarians were extremely well read, and were, indeed, on the cutting edge of research involving Scripture, Canon Law, Patristics, Church History, Ecumenical Relations, particularly with the Orthodox, the prudence in regard to Anglicanorum Coetibus, the for the moment the ignoring of matters regarding the permanent diaconate, etc. Some were planning on doing doctoral theses on the subject. All were 1000% in favor of strict priestly (and diaconal!) celibacy. My heart rejoiced each class. People, you have to know that we have very, very excellent priests coming up. Some of those I'm talking about were just ordained in the last couple of weeks. (Spring of 2012). Also know -- Yikes! -- that is is because of this very article (among some others), that Father de la Potterie was so very bitterly hated by some few, who could not provide an answer to what he said, so well did he say it.
- Continence -- C.W. fanatics will not like the reference to JPII in this very short post. Oh well. The definition of continence might surprise quite a few readers. The definition of terms is important! and enthralling! I wrote these notes up for a course given to the seminarians of the Good Shephard Seminary of the Archdiocese of Sydney. The Rector at the time wanted me to innoculate the seminarians from the heresy that they would be getting in their classes at a certain Catholic institute where they were attending lectures at the time. Yikes!
- Chastity -- Another brief, important article with an in your face, perhaps rather unexpected definition. Knowing the definitions introduces us also to the spiritual life, as to why chastity is a gift of grace, bringing us into friendship with the Lord.
- Celibacy -- Another in your face, perhaps unexpected definition that we need to know. This and other terms are bandied about with few knowing what they are saying. Bonus: a video of the great Irish singer, John McCormack, in reference to the priest who addressed Pope JPII during, I think it was, his first trip to the U.S.A. Hah!
- Virginity -- Another in your face, perhaps unespected definition that we need to know. I've added a rant on the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Mother of God, and also commented on topics such as consecrated virgins, rape, "spiritual virginity", etc.
- Eunuch - Part I -- This is, in my opinion super important commentary. I always get the remark from seminarians and priests that they've never seen anything like this before. Indeed, I haven't seen this anywhere else. This is all about the depth of Christ's love for His Immaculate Bride, the Church. That charity, in which we participate, is awesome indeed. You are dead wrong if you think you already know what a eunuch is. Dead. Wrong. Behold, something truly awesome about the love of God for us.
- Eunuch - Part II -- A necessary follow-up and continuation of Part I, with lots of scriptural references in both Old and New Testaments. You'll never think of these passages in the same way. This is so important for priests to understand what they are doing as priests, especially when they offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and absolve sin and such. Priests are married to the Church by the Sacrifice they offer! Priests must know this or they will find themselves in touble. In knowing just how they are married to the Church, they will rejoice. It is just this which will bring much healing to the priesthood.
- LUST & angels -- This is a refreshing anecdote from the life of Saint Jerome when he went further off into the desert to be a hermit. Instructive and bringing us right before Jesus. Totally cool.
- Repression idiocy -- This is a rather severe critique of the hell of repression and doubled over concealed and especially for that reason very dangerous repression that was foisted upon seminarians for decades and is, I fear, still foisted upon them in some places. The kind of repression idiocy which I critique has been hailed as "Catholic" and "orthodox" by "conservative" Catholic seminaries and universities and colleges. It's anything but that. If you want to risk going straight to hell, do up some of this kind of oppression. If you want to be on your way to heaven, be at ease with weakness, in all chasity, in all honesty, before Jesus, and He will show you the way to rejoicing in holy purity. It's not about mind games. It's about knowing the wholeness and holiness of our Lord and Savior.
- Wounded Healer idiocy -- The Wounded Healer idiocy is perhaps one of the most evil dynamics there is. Ever hear of it? Know who wrote popularized it? This is the method of "nice" and "caring" psychology, but is really just a horrific projection of the "Wounded Healer." This is a necessary read just because you will surely run across this kind of thing. Blech!
- Impure, lustful thoughts -- This is very much a favorite post on HSH blog. I have very often also directed people to it. It seems it is very useful indeed.
- My experience with porn -- This post generated by far the most heartfelt emails and comments on the blog. Porn is a huge problem in the USA and increasing around the world. This post speaks to that catastrophy. Yikes!
- AD CINGULUM! -- This is from the series on the Vesting Prayers for priests for Holy Mass. However, I think all will be able to rejoice in what they read here, and will know more about the priesthood of Jesus among us, and what priestly celibacy is all about. Awesome!
There are many other posts I would like to add to this series. If you readers have any ideas, drop a comment in the comments box or send an email to holysoulshermitage using gmail dot com. Thanks!
Ferocious HSH The Judas Crisis Series
Father Gordon MacRae and making the abuse crisis come full circle — The Manchester Charter - This is an introduction to a critique of the Dallas Charter. You will meet the likes of Avery Cardinal Dulles and Father Richard John Neuhaus. There are links to many articles.
“The Judas Crisis” – Priests falsely accused and wrongly thrown out of the priesthood? Why? Follow the thirty pieces of silver – A HSH Special - This article demonstrates the horrific lack of due process of priests. You will be introduced to some of the key players in the game of kicking priests in the face, including Monsignor Edward Arsenault, Manchester attorney Peter Hutchins, Manchester Diocese spokesman Patrick McGee, not to mention The National Catholic Risk Retention Group.
♬ “Kíll the priest! ♬ Kíll the priest! ♬ Kíll the chí-ld ráp-ing priest!” ♬ (Meet the cheerleader) A HSH Special - In this article you will meet Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, one time president and director of the Saint Luke Institute (shudder) and – how to say it? — a one time paper-giver at the 2012 Pontifical Gregorian University Abuse Symposium (in preparation for the preparation of guidelines of the Holy See on how to treat abuse cases right around the world, coming up in another year or two). You will also see a never before published in full exchange of emails between Rossetti and Mr. Ryan MacDonald.
Abuse terminology that favors The Judas Crisis - This covers the specious terminology, which, however defined in this or that document, means something different in every case: substantiated / non-substantiated -- credible / non-credible. For some, non-substantiated and non-credible means unfounded, which means false, which calumny. But not all are in agreement about that usage. Thus, something can be deemed credible (though not in court of law), though non-substantiated, thus effectively destroying the priesthood of a priest with no proof.
The Judas Crisis $$$ — settlements vs litigation - This brief post is very important to understand the monetary motivation for not providing due process to priests. This should be an eye-opener, and make you sick. This is how bad things can get. If bishops and chancery toadies can do this to their priests, how will they treat real abuse victims in the future?
Prisons are for free! Didn’t you know? - Part of the collateral damage of NCRRG policies is that innocent priests will end up in prison. The prisons babysit these innocent priests "for free." Not giving innocent priests due process saves money. Using prisons saves more money. And tax-payers don't care? Really?
The Judas Crisis: NCRRG (Arch)Dioceses complicit in encouraging murder of priests? - This is a rather hard-hitting article. It is commentary on an article written by the NCRRG. This is of utmost importance to understanding The Judas Crisis. This is ground-zero of The Judas Crisis. The cold-blooded, callous indifference of The Judas Crisis is most evident here.
Myriads of innocent Catholic priests committing suicide now in the works: Pope Benedict XVI not allerted? The Judas Crisis increases in strength… - This examines the fact of so many suicides of priests who have been accused, and demonstrates the probability that most, if not all suicides, are committed by those who are innocent of the charges. "Myriads" refers to all those who will commit suicide right around the world in the next few years should policies analogous to those of the NCRRG by ratified for use by the Holy See. This is catastrophic.
NOTA BENE: There are many more articles which are linked in those articles, and they are also important, such as the article critiquing the homosexualized VIRTUS® program: Msgr Stephen Rossetti, Msgr Edward Arsenault, VIRTUS ®, Saint Luke Institute, militant homosexualism The VIRTUS Child Protection Program Team: We must be militant homosexualists! That particular article is important to read in regard to the Judas Crisis in that VIRTUS® is one and the same with the NCRRG.
