In todays world I would expect no "Roman" Bishop to be concerned for his
sheep.. Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing.. But Here is the latest post from
a Bishop in Exile, who has his fingure on the pulse of things.. Philip.

Old-Fashioned Advice
Eleison Comments XLV
A priestly colleague of the Society of St. Pius X in the United States who
judges, as I do, that it is not outside our duties to watch the unfolding of
the dramatic crisis now engulfing the world's entire financial structure, as
put in place after World War II, gave me last month a copy of a series of
practical points of advice which he hands out to his threatened flock. Let them
be shared with readers of "Eleison Comments".
Since the situation is grave enough for panic to emerge as a possible
temptation, he begins with an important principle: "Do not panic, but use
prudence", ie realistic good sense as to what is not only desirable but also
practicable . He continues with seven points on the handling of HOME FINANCES :
- Stay out of debt, or, at least go into no more debt.
- Pay off credit cards.
- If you cannot pay for it with cash, do not buy it.
- Pay off the car. Buy a used car with cash, if that is what it will take to
get rid of heavy monthly payments.
- If you are in an adjustable rate mortgage, get out of it fast, and change
to a fixed rate mortgage. The latter may be more expensive, but it is certainly
less risky. On any monthly mortgage payment, always pay down more against the
principal, if possible. Better still, pay off the entire mortgage with the
bank, if you can, by borrowing from a relative, but make a mortgage with the
relative, so that it remains tax deductible.
- Consider down-sizing your home if that is what it will take to get rid of
the bank mortgage.
- If you have savings, hold gold and silver.
As to HOME LOCATION, my colleague continues: "You should consider moving if
you live in a big city. If the dollar goes bust, the State will be unable to
make welfare payments, and neighborhoods and even suburbs will become much more
dangerous places."
Finally, as to the MEDIA (firmly in the hands of the enemies of true order),
he makes three precious points:
- Do not believe what the media tell you.
- Axe the television set, prime poisoner of people's minds.
- Forget the big newspapers and "conservative" talk radio.
To this excellent old-fashioned advice, but which it may or may not still be
possible to put into practice, let me myself add one point, which can always be
put into practice: if the family is not yet praying the daily Rosary, start
tonight ! Kyrie eleison.
