Just looked up Fr. Altman on Wikipedia and WOW.

“He encouraged Catholic Democrats to “repent of your support of that party and its platform or face the fires of hell...There will be 60 million aborted babies standing at the gates of heaven barring your Democrat entrance.””

And: “In June 2023, [Father] Altman gave a public speech in which he said Pope Francis was an antipope and not the true pope of the Catholic Church.”

Most people don't like to hear the real truth - if you vote for any politician in the US who is in the Democrat party you are voting for someone supports abortion on demand up until birth. And it does not matter what they say on the campaign trial, this is what they vote for time and again with no compromises. So your vote for them makes you complicit.

We need more priests like Fr Altman willing to "speak truth to power" in the progressive lingo. Or more theologically "like a man crying out in the desert (of this cultural age) - Repent!"

This reminds me to re-read St Basil's sermon to the rich. It is unsettling and I need to be unsettled. I think that very few people indeed would be willing to read it as addressed "to me" and as a list of things (wholly unrelated to party politics) in which I am unthinkingly, habitually complicit. https://bekkos.wordpress.com/st-basils-sermon-to-the-rich/

Yeah man, that guy is a whack job. I get that people think he’s maybe prophesying but the dude just comes off as a narcissist to me. I don’t know. Hope everything turns out okay in the end for him, but that said, probably wouldn’t hurt him to just pray and sacrifice and keep his mouth shut.
