I love the idea of ringing the bell when you take gold! I would not be a bit surprised to see the ritual go mainstream in the wider world of sports. "I (BONG!) F*ing (BONG!) Won!(BONG! BONG! BONG!)

I know I'd ring that sucker!

2019: Shepard Smith at Fox News shut off a French media analyst, and Neil Cavuto cut off the president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, when these guests raised the possibility of the Notre Dame fire not being accidental.

The French media analyst was Philippe Karsenty, who said: "And you need to know that for the last year we’ve had churches desecrated each and every week in France, all over France. So of course you will hear the story, the politically correct, political correctness, which will tell you that it’s probably an accident." He was then told by Smith that "we're not going to speculate" and he was stopped from speaking further.

Immigrants desecrated 2,339 churches in Greece alone, 2015-2020.

And Jews burned down 53 mosques and churches in Israel since 1953. And that number is from many years ago. In WWII Pope Pius XII gave money to Jewish groups to bring Jews out of Europe - but these groups, when taking money from the Catholics, refused to help Catholic Jews.

2022: Jews write "death to Christians" on the walls in Jerusalem, vandalize cars and break windows. Christians were forbidden to enter a holy sepulchre on Christmas, only 1,800 could enter even though the church can house 10,000.

Israeli authorities cut off water to a monastery, and the monks are verbally abused by Jewish settlers, who throw rocks and debris at them. In Bethlehem, a Christian gift shop was deliberately put out of business after nearby Jewish settlements were allowed to erect walls blocking access to it.

Other attacks on Christians included a June 2015 arson incident at the Church of the Multiplication and a nearby Benedictine monastery in Tabgha, located 120 miles north of Jerusalem. The church is built on the site where Christ fed the 5,000 through the multiplication of loaves and fishes. The attackers left Hebrew graffiti on the walls, reading “all idols will be smashed.”

In 2014 occurred vandalization of a Romanian Orthodox church, the Benedictine Abbey of the Dormition, and Catholic offices in Jerusalem, as well as a monastery in Beit Shemesh. The year before, more than 20 Christian sites of the Latin Patriarchate were attacked by vandals. And in 2012, a Trappist monastery in Latroun was subject to arson and graffiti, while the Convent of St. Francis on Mt. Zion was vandalized.

Non-Jews in Bethlehem and on the West Bank - Muslim and Christian - meanwhile lived under a system of Israeli military laws and check points established by government order number 101. In Hebron, non-Jews living on Jewish-only streets could not even walk out their front doors and they were regularly bombarded by feces and other waste hurled down upon them by the settlers.

Remember, every so often, Catholics need to be reminded of what the Enemy accomplished at Vatican 2, *vis a vis* the political, social, and moral power of the Church. "I thought we told you people in 1965" is what's being said.

The Mass Graves is not just overhyped, it’s completely untrue. One loony guy (a defrocked United Church minister) spread a story of mass graves in Kamloops, BC based on ground penetrating radar. Not a single grave has actually been found.

It’s caused a rash of church burnings as the supposed mass graves were beside a former residential school, many run by churches.
