What positive emotion do you feel most often?

Happiness!

How do you plan your goals?

I learned how to plan and set up my goals in the U.S. Air Force back in the 1970s. Still use those skills to this day. They have come in very handy for scheduling doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping, and going to get gas.

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

Was’up? Or what’s happening? Sheesh!

What brings you peace?

John 3:16.

What profession do you admire most and why?

The Traditional Latin Mass I admire most. It is true to the Pre-Vatican II Mass and is the only valid Mass today. Many disaffected Catholics are leaving the Catholic Church because there is no sacred silence, no praying the Rosary before Mass begins, women and girls no longer wear veils, and there are girl Alter Servers. Also the Blessed Reserved Host is usually in a side chapel instead of being in the middle of the Altar, the Priest faces the congregation instead of facing the Altar, and Communion is placed in the hand, instead of on the tongue of the recipient as he/she kneels. Today everyone is standing in line to receive the Sacred Host from an Altar Server, or the Priest. This was never done before Vatican II, where only the Priest administered the Sacred Host. Now today the Consecrated Wine is also administered to the Mass attendees by the Priest and lay Communion Servers. This is Anathema!

Describe your life in an alternate universe.

I would become President of the United States and bring together the two political parties and work together to pass needed legislation to address the many problems we face here in our own universe.

Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is in the news a lot just because he has nuclear weapons and is threatening to launch them at South Korea 🇰🇷, Japan 🇯🇵, and try to launch against the United States 🇺🇸. This is more bluster than actually going to launch any missiles. If he did, then his country would be bombed into oblivion! And he knows this, I hope. But crazy is as crazy does. 🤪😜

How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?

I have been deeply religious my whole life. I am a consecrated Metropolitan Archbishop who holds conservative, traditional beliefs. I do not believe Vatican II was a good idea. The Traditional Latin Mass has been suppressed by Pope Francis which is a very BIG MISTAKE! I celebrate the 1959 Traditional Latin Mass only.

What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?

I follow the traditions that I was taught to respect when I was young in the 1950’s. I’m also a traditional Roman Catholic that attends the Pre-Vatican Latin Mass of 1959.
