International Group of Lay Catholics Calls for Summit to Address Homosexuality

Read their statements. The Vatican cannot ignore the central issue in the abuse crisis without further undermining credibility with the faithful.

Guest Post: Call the Crisis What It Is: Pederasty!

Editor's comment: As the Rome meeting on the sex abuse crisis begins tomorrow, it's important to emphasize that the bishops must properly address the foundational root of the problem. They plan to focus solely on the abuse of minors. Why? Because ignoring the abuse of non-minors sweeps the homosexual nature of the problem under the rug. The language emphasized throughout the abuse crisis has been "pedophilia" when, in fact, most of the abuse involved older adolescents and legal adult seminarians. Catholics will know the meeting is a smokescreen if this continues, that the hierarchy are spinning a tale "told by an idiot full of sound and fury and signifying nothing." What a tragedy for the Church, especially the Church in the United States. No honesty, no transparency, no solution.

As the Vatican Turns: Latest Episode of the Church Sex Abuse Soap

The soap opera continues on Thursday with the opening of the four-day summit on clerical sex abuse. The fact that its announced focus is abuse of minors, a horrendous part of the picture but only part of the picture, is seriously problematic. Clerics engaged in consensual homosexual lust or superiors who pressure their underlings to participate in immoral acts need to be exposed. The root of the crisis no matter the age of the victims is pederasty, i.e, same sex (homosexual) acts.

Michael Matt of The Remnant is in Rome and will be reporting on the meeting. Stay tuned.

The New World Order and the Dethronement of Christ the King: It's the REVOLUTION!

In the video at the end of this post, Michael Matt exposes the connections between the secular efforts to bring about a one world order and the infiltration of the Church by that same "spirit of the antichrist." It's well worth the 20 minutes spent watching.

I'm re-reading 1984 at present and it is chilling to realize how close we are to the reign of Big Brother vs. the reign of Christ the King. When you hear the expression, "the brotherhood of man," ask yourself what those who call for this brotherhood of "love" really have in mind. In the world of 1984, language was inverted and often meant the exact opposite. The Ministry of Love was the organization responsible for torturing and murdering those who committed "thoughtcrime," "facecrime," and refused to embrace "doublespeak" which required believing two opposite ideas simultaneously. At the Ministry of Truth, lies abounded. History was altered daily to fit the policy of the moment. Isn't this what we are seeing from Democrats on a regular basis? As the 1984 mottos stated, "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength."

Guest Post: Is It Time for Cuomo and his Infanticide-supporting Buddies to have a Canossa Moment?

Catholic NY governor Andrew Cuomo celebrates
passage of legislation allowing murder of babies
in the womb through birth and beyond!

Editor's comment: In 1077 Pope Gregory VII excommunicated King Henry IV stripping him of his right to rule the Holy Roman Empire and releasing his vassals from their obligation of service? Why? Because Henry demanded the right to name bishops. (Hmm...does this sound like the current situation in China?) Henry, fearing loss of power, went to Canossa in winter, waited three days to see the pope, and then walked barefoot through the snow to meet him and beg for forgiveness. Since then a "walk to Canossa" has come to mean a humiliation. It also indicates that controversy between Church and state is nothing new. James Thunder gives us a modern situation that is a Canossa moment. Will the hierarchy of the Church in the United States take any action to address the horrifying attacks on life? Or will it be the hierarchy bending their knees to the state out of fear of losing the Almighty tax dollar? How will our bishops respond to these evil attacks on the unborn popping up like poison mushrooms all over our beloved country?

RESPONDING TO THE

SO-CALLED NEW YORK “REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT”

Freemasonry and Pope Francis's End Game, Mirror Images

I want to refer you to the Encyclical Letter of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII on Freemasonry, titled Humanum Genus.  I would have linked that title to TAN books, which is the publisher of my own copy, but their webpage doesn’t recognize the title anymore.  In fact they sadly are not selling anything prior to Vatican II, (that I could find) but you will find it on Amazon for about $3.00.  

You may be thinking, “I could care less about Freemasonry, so why would I want this?”  I’ll tell you why.  In the last couple of weeks Pope Francis and Freemasonry have been openly discussed in the same breath.  Up to now people have merely whispered about it.  If there ever were a time you NEEDED TO KNOW about this subject, it is NOW.

Humanum Genus, written in 1884, makes it very clear that Freemasonry is a not a generic term but a very real organization, but one which has many others that fall in line with it, that do the bidding of Freemasonry, and which are in fact linked to it in ways only those at the top of some organizations are allowed to know. 

Paragraph 9 says:

Breaking News: Laicization for McCarrick

From "Cardinal McCarrick" to Mr. McCarrick

Let us all pray for the mighty prince of perversion. He is, at this moment facing a cold reality like Cardinal Wolsey who died the banished lackey of King Henry VIII. As he lay dying, Wolsey showed signs of repentance. Let us pray that Teddy McCarrick does the same:

On 29th November 1530, Cardinal Wolsey died at Leicester Abbey while travelling to London to be tried for high treason. He’d been suffering from dysentery for a couple of weeks but his health had declined by 26th November and when he arrived at Leicester Abbey he told the Father Abbott “I ame come hether to leave my bones among you”.

Dirty Birds at the Vatican: They Give Cardinals a Bad Name

Trio of Church scoundrels -- great friends of the Francis!

Sadly, many sayings from the past have disappeared from common usage. And yet so many express the truth in graphic ways. "One bad apple can spoil the whole barrel." sent a clear message that spending time with a "bad apple" was likely to result in rotten behavior rubbing off. Not that a "bad apple" can't change, but, until he does, the safest strategy to avoid rottenness is to keep your distance.

My mom also used to say, "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are." and "Birds of a feather flock together." I thought of that today when I read this post from OnePeterFive about the new honor for another gay-advancing cardinal, Kevin Farrell, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life in Rome.

Fr. Tom Collins: A MORE DOCILE APPROACH TO AN EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE

Lent begins in a few weeks, so it's a good time to think about confession which always begins with a serious and fruitful examination of conscience. Fr. Tom gives us a how-to approach.

The Rite for the Sacrament of Reconciliation encourages the use of God’s Word, found in Holy Scripture and in Church Tradition, for the examination of one’s conscience.

Here's what natural God-given masculinity and femininity look and sound like...

...lest we forget while plied with perversion, deviance and filth where we cannot tell a man from a woman anymore. Transgender women are men pretending to be women and transgender men are women who have mutilated their body to look like men. Then there's sodomy and homosexuality and lesbianism and bi and trans, asexual and gender fluid. Vile drag queens and drag kings. This is the culture of death along with men and women having babies and killing them. 

Let's refresh our minds. Here's what we were made to be - a man and a woman. Male and female. Feminine and masculine. Him and her. He and she. Femininity and masculinity. She is so lovely. So beautiful and sweet. So FEMININE. He is powerful, handsome, strong and gentle. So MASCULINE. I want them to get married and have lots of babies and live happily ever after. Their love for each other and God will get them through the joys and sorrows known as the culture of life.

Two Thumbs Up up to Janet at Restore D.C. Catholicism for Helping Stop a Public Scandal in Raleigh Diocese

Pastor says he made decision to cancel speech by gay Durham City Council member

Let's summarize the situation. Immaculata Elementary School in Durham invited a lesbian City Council member, Vernetta Alston, to speak during black history month. Alston is "married" to her lesbian partner. She backs positions that are "intrinsically evil" and in direct opposition to Church teaching. Janet was contacted by a concerned parent and entered the fray with a post calling for people to contact the parish and the diocese to rescind the invitation which never should have been made in the first place. The pastor says he didn't know about it. If that's true, he needs to rethink his government of the parish and protection of the children from scandal. Here's what he said about the situation:
