Will You Do Your Part to Help Elect Godly Leaders?

I belong to a women's a rosary group. All of us our orthodox Catholics who are active in various apostolates: crisis pregnancy counseling, pro-life politics, defending the faith through writing, etc. We occasionally get-together to pray and enjoy each other's company. I suppose we could call it R & R for the Church Militant: rosary and refreshment.

Today we met at my house for a Mexican lunch and the Joyful Mysteries of the rosary in honor of the feast of the Visitation. I also copied an election prayer off Catholic Online and invited all the ladies to pray it daily and share it with others.

129 Page Dossier on Fr. Pedro Corces

The beleaguered St Rose of Lima, Miami Shores

When Googling the name of Alberto Cardenas, Fr Pedro Corce’s prostitute lover, the Internet conveniently coughed up the 129 page Dossier prepared by a private investigator for Christifidelis at St Rose of Lima, Miami Shores. To say the least, the Dossier makes clear that Fr Corces is more interested in sex and pleasure, vacations and beauty products rather than Christ Jesus and the care of his parishioners’ souls guiding them to Heaven.

The Immutable Archbishop Thomas Wenski

Archbishop Thomas Wenski

The immutable Thomas Wenski, Archbishop of Miami, is in the news again with charges of “slanderous gossip, calumny, detraction” against the faithful. It was déjà vu reading the Miami Herald article since when Archbishop Wenski of Miami was Bishop Wenski of Orlando from 2004 to 2010, and we wrote the Orlando Truth newsletter, he vilified us with identical charges.

At one point Bishop Wenski said that I was on the verge of excommunication. “ME?!” I replied. “How about excommunicating your heretical Chancery nuns and the Orlando priest we caught going to an out of state nude gay resort with his priest lover from another diocese?” (That priest still remains the pastor at his same Orlando Diocesan parish which has an elementary school.) Admittedly, while reading this article I chuckled at a few sentences which brought back joyful memories from those years, especially the part about the private investigator “going through the church rectory trash”. Those were the days.

Murdering Shakespeare to Push an Agenda!

No wonder Kate couldn't get a husband!

I'm on Travelzoo's mailing list so they send me info about local deals. Today I got one for 50% off The Taming of the Shrew at the Shakespeare Theater in D.C. Being a Shakespeare enthusiast, I immediately checked out the deal and, lo and behold, it's Shakespeare in drag. All the parts are being played by men. The two major female leads, Kate and Bianca, are played by...well...what can I say. Iskandar certainly didn't go for their looks.

Dad Proposes to Mom on New Baby's Onesie: Better Late...

My initial reaction was to shake my head.

"Birds of a Feather Flock Together": Victor and Jorge

My mom always warned her ten children saying, "Be careful of the company you keep. People will judge you by your friends." Shakespeare certainly reflected that in Henry IV parts one and two. The young Prince Hal hangs out with a bunch of drunks and cut-purses, cheats, and scoundrels! He enjoys himself until pragmatism (the death of his father and his ascension to the throne) spurs him to cut the strings to his former buddies and eventually execute one for stealing a pyx from a church, ironic since Hal's own father (and by inheritance himself) stole the throne of England. The hypocrisy of the powerful is unlimited.

Why Does Jesus Curse the Fig Tree?

red breba fig from Lebanon

Today's gospel (Mark 11) has one of those confusing events that always make me scratch my head? Jesus is walking along the road with the apostles and he's hungry. He sees a fig tree growing by the wayside and goes over to look for figs but the tree has none because, as the gospel tells us, "it was not the time for figs." Jesus curses the tree and the next day when He and apostles are returning to Jerusalem, Peter observes that the tree has withered and died.

Now, I think the immediate reaction of many Catholics hearing that today is, "That's not fair. Why should the fig tree be expected to have figs out of season?"

This One Liturgical Practice Would Make a Huge Difference in Reverence...

Shepherds lead the flock to heaven's door ad orientem.

...and it would be celebrating Mass in the ordinary form as it was ALWAYS meant to be!

Vatican liturgy chief urges priests to celebrate Mass facing east

"In an interview with the French Catholic magazine Famille Chrétienne, Cardinal Robert Sarah said that the Second Vatican Council did not require priests to celebrate Mass facing the people. 

"This way of celebrating Mass, he said, was 'a possibility, but not an obligation'.
Readers and listeners should face each other during the Liturgy of the Word, he said. 

Thus Always to Tyrants! Obama Sued Over Bathroom Insanity

Eleven States Sue, Since Congressional Wimps Don't Do Anything!

I think it's time to hang a great big CLOSED sign on the U.S. Capitol. While I applaud the eleven states (and the premier state of North Carolina) suing the mad man and his lackeys over the bathroom insanity, where is Congress? Who are the lawmakers according to the Constitution? Those cowards have rolled over with every executive order. They've abandoned their budgetary responsibilities and allowed us to be inundated by a tsunami of debt. Most of them seem to care about nothing but their seats in Congress where they often leave a lot richer than they arrived.

It’s in your DNA, Stupid!

It’s in your DNA, Stupid!  These are "going to jail" words, so don't say them. Instead here's the first lesson on how not to be taken to jail:  

                       Transgenderspeak 101: Correct Pronoun Use

A transgender man who used to be a woman must be referred to as “he”.

A transgender woman who used to be a man must be referred to as “she”.

A 6 year old girl who used to be a 52 year old man must be referred to as “little girl”.

A transgender boy who used to be a girl must be referred to as “he”.

A transgender girl who used to be a boy must be referred to as “she”.

Leo Soell, neither male nor female, is a "they"

And this woman must be referred to 

as “they” because she's neither 

male nor female.

So now here they are (Leo Soell) in this video to teach us transgender-speak. It’s very simple, really. Out of respect, just ask the transgender person what he, she, or they would like to be called and he, she or they will simply tell us. Then accordingly, we must comply with his, her or their wishes or be sued for harassment and bullying for intentionally using an incorrect pronoun.

New Di Blasio-Legislated Bathroom Sign for New York City - It's the law!

Will NYC businesses be required to build one bathroom for each gender, or will they have only one bathroom for all genders, called a Unigender bathroom?

New York: Insane and Proud of It!

Human Resources official hugger

It's official: New York Recognizes 31 Genders

And businesses better do the same, as well as use the appropriate pronoun in dealing with the gender confused or [he, she, it, they] will face six-figure fines. Here's how part of the Commission on Human Rights policy reads:

“Intentional or repeated refusal to use an individual’s preferred name, pronoun or title. For example, repeatedly calling a transgender woman 'him' or 'Mr.' after she has made clear which pronouns and title she uses.”

Hmm?  Glad you asked. Yes, woman and man make the list as numbers 17 and 18. 

New Obama-Legislated Bathroom Sign

And Then There's Starbucks...

...flying the "gay pride" flag at corporate headquarters. Are you still drinking their foul, overpriced burnt-tasting coffee?

What would they say if we flew a "straight pride" flag? Really, Russia has developed one. Click the "read more" to see it. The flag was developed by the party of Putin. What a strange world we live in today when a democratic republic has become a totalitarian regime of political correctness and a former Communist country stands for the family. Weird!

Kissing Hershey Good-bye!

Hershey Park Jumps on Bathroom Insanity Bandwagon

Good-bye, Hershey. What a sad parting. My favorite candy bar was always Hershey Milk Chocolate with Almonds. My husband often brought home bags of Hershey Miniatures. I picked out the Special Dark, another favorite. And how I enjoyed those peanut butter cookies with a big, soft Hershey kiss on top. Sometimes I bought the giant Hershey kiss gift box for a sweet treat to say "I love you" to someone special. And, of course, Hershey ice cream and toppings often made our ice cream sundae list. No more! Adios, sweet betrayer.

Oklahoma Legislature Votes to Make Abortion a Felony; Guv Vetoes!

If you're against abortion, raise your hand!
Doctors are supposed to save lives, not kill.

(Source) Unfortunately, the supposedly pro-life governor, Mary Fallin said it was too vague and not the right bill and vetoed it. Let's pray the legislature can muster the votes to override her veto.

This has me singing Oklahoma for the legislature and Wash that Guv Right Out of My Hair for the governor! Her statement that the best way to overturn Roe is the Supreme Court has me shaking my head. Let's face it, we need a state by state rebellion against the overreach of the Executive Branch and the Supreme Court.

So How Does Having a Bullseye on Your Stock Sheet Feel, TARGET?

Target's new company logo: the empty shopping cart!

TARGET CEO Says Boycott No Problemo; $10B Loss Tells Another Story

"Since we launched the Boycott Target Pledge April 21, over 1.26 million people have signed on. Another interesting fact, Target has remained silent on Facebook and Twitter. The most recent post on Target’s Facebook page came April 23, and their Twitter has only had one tweet since April 19. 

Tricky Footnotes in Fine Print and Pope Francis

"In the footnotes you find the fine print, which is tricky." - Pope Francis

 A tricky footnote in fine print 

Gianluigi Nuzzi’s Merchants in the Temple is fascinating. He says that on July 28, 2013, in the Sala Bologna in the Vatican, Francis addressed “all the key players who administer the money and the property of the Holy See.”

“The Holy Father took the floor. He delivered an indictment that would last sixteen minutes, using harsher words than had ever been expressed by a Pontiff to the assembly–words that were supposed to remain secret…but that would not be the case. Foreseeing the risks that his innovative action would entail…someone recorded the Pope’s charges, word for word.” (p.11)

Nothing gets the Vatican Press Office stirred up more than the Fatima message.

On the Fatima Story: Response of Vatican Press Office 

The link above is a follow up to the original story after the Vatican Press Office denied it. But why should we believe what comes out of the spin center at the Vatican? Fr. Thomas Rosica, English-speaking Vatican P.R. aide, has a distinctive m.o.: to attack (and even sue) writers and bloggers who express concern about the scandals emanating from the Vatican on an almost daily basis. His latest shotgun blast was so over the top he seemed to be foaming at the mouth:

The Times They Are A-Changin': Methodists Vote to Withdraw from Abortion Group They Helped Establish!

United Methodist Church Quits Pro-Abortion Coalition After Years of Promoting Abortion

When I read this my immediate thought was, "Wow, this is big, I mean really big!"

When abortion was legalized in individual states, some required counseling before the procedure. Methodist ministers were often among those signing off so women could kill their babies. The Methodist Church was a FOUNDING MEMBER of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice for heavens sake!

Why don't we hear this coming from the pope?

The world was made for man; not man for the world!

Cardinal Sarah Rebukes "Demonic" Attacks on the Family

"Sadly, the advent of artificial reproductive technologies, surrogacy, so-called homosexual ‘marriage,’ and other evils of gender ideology, will inflict even more wounds in the midst of generations we live with. 

"This is why it is so important to fight to protect the family, the first cell of the life of the Church and every society. It is not about abstract ideas. It is not an ideological war between competing ideas. This is about defending ourselves, children, and future generations from a demonic ideology that says children do not need mothers and fathers. It denies human nature and wants to cut off entire generations from God."

Amen!

Wouldn't it be great if we heard the pope saying this to reporters on planes instead of defending the environment. Without the family, the environment is pointless!

Still Shopping at Target? Better Not Help Someone Being Attacked in the Store!

If Target's latest policy allowing men in the ladies' rest room isn't evidence enough of their cavalier attitude toward customer safety, get this. Target is suing a man who came to the aid of a teenage girl stabbed by a knife-wielding criminal in one of their Pennsylvania stores. The man's in jail now after being convicted of attempted murder. The hero who rescued the girl? He's being sued by Target. Watch the video in the articles below and note that there is no sign of store security coming to help. It's open season on vulnerable women at Target. Join the boycott.

Target Sues Girl's Hero

Come to a Customer's Rescue? Get Sued by Target.

Do you really want to shop in this store or let your daughters use the restrooms?

Good Questions from Family Research Council on Obama's Vision for the Country

It's the same one envisioned by Karx Marx!

All Health Breaks Loose

"What kind of country forces Marines to scavenge parts to keep their planes flying, but has no problem paying for newparts for the gender-confused? Yours! Welcome to the sick world of the Obama administration, where taxpayer-funded sex changes are just the latest example of a presidency completely off the rails."

Something is Gravely Wrong with Pope Francis' Thinking...

Sadiq Khan,
London's new mayor

...on this as well as many other matters!

On May 17th Pope Francis was elated that London had elected its first Muslim mayor. In an extended interview with French daily La Croix speaking further about the migrant crisis the pope said:

“It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam. However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest.”  Read here

The idea of conquest inherent in the soul of Islam is to convert the universe to Islam by hatred. Killing, death and destruction is the only way to convert the world to Islam, mainly because normal people DO NOT WANT to, therefore they have to be forced to convert or killed. (The pictures below, as horrific as they are, are the least gruesome I could post.)

According to Cardinal Robert Sarah: In America, God is "Being Liquidated"

Gosh! Ya think?

Thousands of abortions every day and more murders through abortifacient birth control....

Persecution of believers.....

Corruption and dumbing down our children through sex ed and Common Core....

Men in bathrooms and shower rooms with little girls....

War mongering...

I think Cardinal Sarah is on to something!

Vatican Cardinal to Americans: ‘In Your Nation, God Is Being Eroded, Eclipsed, Liquidated’

Umm...Who Exactly is Hateful and Intolerant? Protesters Get Assaulted by the Liberal Luv Duo.

Hurrah and two thumbs up for these culture warriors! Watch the video of the Mass Resistance protest in California below. Things heat up when two bigoted, hate-filled liberals attack the legal, free speech rights of the protesters who believe Target's bathroom/dressing room policy endangers women and children.

Note the inability of these young women to engage in an intellectual discussion. This could have been a courteous and intelligent Socratic dialogue, but these foul-mouthed young women appear incapable of anything but a personal obscene-filled verbal attack. No doubt they learned this in tolerance 101 or maybe at the Gay-Straight Alliance meeting in their public schools.

They no doubt left the protest to go to their safe zone and suck their thumbs.

Don't Miss These Headlines! And Excerpts from the Articles

fashion statement for the well-dressed deaconette

"Catholicism is in the throes of the worst crisis in its entire history"

Burke identified the fact that the suffering of the faithful "is greatly increased by the betrayal of the truth by those who claim to follow Christ and to be members of His Church, even bishops, priests and consecrated religious." 

He also identified three forms of martyrdom — namely the martyrdom of blood, of persecution and of witness. The martyrdom of witness being the most common, Burke noted that it was found in those who were firm believers "in the Church's teaching authority: the devoted servant of the papacy; the convinced pastor who insists on sound doctrine to his flock; the dedicated religious who want to remain faithful to their vows."

Muhammad's Gabriel is Satan is Allah

Muhammad flying over Mecca at the
beginning of his Night Journey. The
square building in the center is the
the Kabba. Currently in the British
Museum

If Christians said that Jesus flew into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday on a winged horse and landed on the Temple Mount we would be laughed out of existence. Obviously, those who believe in Muhammad’s claim to have traveled to Jerusalem either in body or in spirit rely on blind faith rather than common sense. After reading Humphrey Prideaux’s account of The Life of Mohamet, there is simply no compelling reason to believe that Muhammad’s Night Journey was anything other than a dream unless of course Gabriel, as written before, is Satan in disguise which then makes the Night Journey demonic in origin, and Muhammad the prophet of Satan.

      OBSERVATION:  After "ascending" through the seven heavens, Gabriel suddenly tells Muhammad that he (Gabriel) may not go any farther with him, therefore Muhammad continues alone through water and snow until he subsequently arrives in “the presence of God (Allah)”.

      COMMENT:  Satan cannot be two entities at once (Gabriel and Allah) therefore has to change from appearing as Gabriel guiding Muhammad through the seven heavens, to appearing as Allah sitting under the Lote tree in paradise waiting for his prophet. With Muhammad engaged in continuing the Night Journey by himself, Satan has ample time to change his disguise.

A Day at the Gay Parade Celebrating Sodomy

If you’ve never been to a gay pride parade, then let’s go! Pretend we’re on our magic carpet [or Al-Borak] and we’ve landed in Orlando's Lake Eola Park smack in the middle of the crowd celebrating sodomy on this bright sunny Florida day.

First we see the swan boats in Lake Eola. Even they celebrate sodomy.

Next we meet a man with red balloons on his back. Not knowing the meaning of the message he is trying to convey, we Google “man with balloons on his back” (or something) and get the Urban Dictionary with a somewhat odd description of balloon sex.

Joan of Arc on Steroids and the Great Public School Walkout Strike

You may hate Ann Barnhardt' "tone", but she makes eminent sense when she describes how to respond to Obama's latest act of tyranny. Trying to force public schools to allow boys to shower and dress with girls in an abomination and Ann, who makes me think of Joan of Arc on steroids, doesn't shrink from saying it:

Listen up.....THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COERCION. The Obama regime can not FORCE you to do ANYTHING. You either freely choose to capitulate or not. This “forced”, “coercion” bullshit is 100% candyass agitprop. 

You know what the solution to this is? Every parent who LOVES THEIR CHILDREN WITHDRAWS THEIR CHILDREN FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL MONDAY MORNING.

Pentecost Sunday Meditation: Come, O Holy Spirit, Fill the Hearts of Your Faithful...

...and kindle in them the fire of Your love.

Have you ever burnt yourself? Remember the relentless pain only relieved by continuous icing. Think of the power of fire, its power for good, its power for evil.

Fire can cook your food, heat your home, provide a cheerful warmth in the fireplace on a snowy night when Jack Frost nips at your nose. It can make a fun, happy memory for little ones at an outside bonfire or an indoor winter picnic with hot dogs and marshmallows on the menu.

What God Has Hidden from the High and Mighty is Obvious at the Lowly Pizza Parlor

Pat Buchanan Hits the Bullseye: Outing the "Rule or Ruin" Neocons!

The convention may be more entertaining than a
bout at Madison Square Gardens. 

One of my favorite political commentators is Pat Buchanan. Pat has a broad and deep view of the political realities of our nation -- where we've been and where we're going. So I take his opinions on political realities very seriously. His column on the Rule or Ruin Republicans deserves consideration by the hate-Trump voters who tweet "Never Trump". Perhaps their venom is a bit misplaced. I urge you to read the complete column, but here are a few excerpts that hit the bullseye:

Whatever one may think of Donald Trump, his campaign has done us a service -- exposing the underbelly of a decaying establishment whose repudiation by America's silent majority is long overdue.... 

On the 99th Anniversary of the First Apparition of Mary at Fatima...

...Let us reflect on her messages.

To help us reflect, here are a few articles with excerpts:

Alice Von Hildebrand Sheds New Light on Fatima

After Pope John Paul asked him to begin a new Pontifical Institute for studies on marriage and the family, [Monsignor, now Cardinal] Caffarra wrote to Sister Lucy, simply requesting her prayers for this venture. He has recently made known his surprise at receiving “a very long letter with her signature. . . . In it we find written: ‘The final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about marriage and the family. Don’t be afraid, because anyone who works for the sanctity of marriage and the family will always be contended and opposed in every way, for this is the decisive issue.’ And then she concluded: ‘however, Our Lady has already crushed its head.’” 

This Makes Me Realize How Much We Need to Pray for These Poor Souls!

"Without the Lord, you'll have nothing." Amen. I'm offering my rosary today for all the poor confused souls out there who need, like this man, to be set free.

And On and On We Go: Female Deacons Next?

Pope Francis opens another can of worms!

Francis to create commission to study female deacons in Catholic church

At the recent meeting in Rome of the International Union of Superiors General, the pope agreed that a commission to study the question of women deacons was a good idea. According to press reports, when challenged about it, he responded, "I believe yes. It would do good for the church to clarify this point. I am in agreement. I will speak to do something like this.”

The Triumph of Modernism: An Explanation of the Current Crisis in the Church

Pope St. Pius X

I think what we are seeing in the Church today is the triumph of modernism. Modernism, a declared heresy (in fact the "synthesis of all heresies"), is the "smoke of Satan" that entered the Church after Vatican II. In 1907, Pope St. Pius X who battled modernism throughout his pontificate, required all clergy, religious superiors, professors in Catholic institutions, etc. to take an oath against modernism.
The oath professed belief in revelation, divine acts, miracles and prophecies as the "surest signs of the divine origin of the Christian religion." It professed adherence to the papal encyclical Pascendi which condemned modernism and its tenets very specifically. The oath rejected the "error of those who say that the faith held by the Church can contradict history, and that Catholic dogmas, in the sense in which they are now understood, are irreconcilable with a more realistic view of the origins of the Christian religion."

What's Your Opinion of Trump? This Trump Executive Shares Hers and It's Touching

I confess that, despite my misgivings about Trump, a thought keeps popping into my head. Is he the Cyrus of our times? Cyrus was a pagan king, but it was he who allowed the return of the Jews from the Babylonian exile. He assisted in the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem providing money and materials.

Granted, Trump has a liberal background.  Yes, he can be crude and rude. Perhaps he is too plain-speaking.

Muhammad Talks to God then Flies Back to Mecca on Al-Borak

Muhammad in the Presence of Allah and their Conversation

The Islamic Dome of the Rock on the Jewish Temple Mount in

Jerusalem is built on the spot where Muhammad said he

landed on Al-Borak during his Night Journey, then from there

ascended to heaven and talked to God.

We’re almost finished with this tortuous history of Muhammad’s so-called Night Journey. As foolishly irrational as the Night Journey is [especially Al-Borak] it’s important to know that it is believed by all Muslims, the proof being that the Dome of the Rock today stands on Jerusalem’s Jewish Temple Mount, built directly on top of the place where Muhammad said he landed on Al-Borak and which apparently has Muhammad’s footprint there. In addition, there’s a sacred space on the Temple Mount where Al-Borak was ostensibly tied to a rock while he waited for the angel Gabriel and Muhammad to ascend through the seven heavens, converse with God, then return again.

"The West is Crumbling...." Enlist in the Battle for Souls!

Revelation 12: The battle between the Woman clothed with the sun with twelve stars for her crown and the dragon 

Msgr. Charles Pope is a prophetic voice for our times. I was reading his article on the Book of Revelation this morning and came to this statement:

The West is crumbling and decadence abounds. Confusion about basic reality is so widespread that our current cultural situation can credibly be described as a lunatic asylum. Even within the Church, voices that should speak out prophetically are silenced by fear and infected by worldliness. There is among Church leaders, clergy, and laity a widespread softness and a feeling that the risk of speaking out is too great.

What rational, faithful Catholic can argue with this? And yet his message is not one of "despair and die" but rather one of hope. Understand the signs of the times and fight the good fight:

Target: Where Women and Girls Really Are -- the target that is"

Women, when you walk through these doors that big
red target is on you. Enter at your own risk.

Note the two incidents of peeping Toms linked below happened BEFORE Target became a proud enabler of abuse.

Man arrested for filming underage girl in Target dressing room (Huntersville, NC)

And another in Pennsylvania

There are plenty of incidents at other brand stores as well. This indicates, of course, that stores like Target know about the danger to their customers of men entering the female dressing areas. So how sensible is it to make it even easier for peepers and abusers to have access to young women? And it's already happening as this latest incident shows.

Thank You, Mary, for Being Our Mother Too! Happy Mothers Day

Thanks to Mothers who Work to Keep their Families Together!

Divorce is Killing Our Children

Here is the pithiest section of Dr. Fitzgibbons' article outlining the "cost" of divorce to children and adults:

...research on the children of divorce provide overwhelming evidence to disprove the myth that divorce does not harm children. In fact, the divorce epidemic has contributed to the serious and growing psychopathology in American youth. One example is the first major study of American adolescent psychopathology published in 2010 (Merikangas et al.): 49 percent of the 10,000 teenagers studied met the criteria for one psychiatric disorder and 40 percent met the criteria for two disorders. 

Praying for my mom today as my mother's day gift!

Is there anything better we can give to our moms?

Love you, Mom. You gave me an incredible example of love for God, constant cheerfulness, service to others, and fortitude.

I look forward to the day when we meet once again merrily in heaven!

Happy Mother's Day!

Insanity Reigns: Flee the Cities -- Especially Boston!

We all know, correct me if I'm wrong, that the biggest problem we have in this country is not being accepting enough of women who want to be men and men who want to be women. See more here and particularly note the little 5-year-old girl being brought up as a boy. This is such child abuse it is almost beyond belief! Pray and fast for the poor little ones who are victims of delusional adults abusing them with strong hormonal drugs and insane lies. They have no idea what the long-term effects will be on these children. But when disaster comes they will double down and blame those evil "transphobic" people who opposed their wicked agenda.

BOYCOTT MASSACHUSETTS!

What Was it Really Like in the Classroom as the Gay Activists Took Over?

A career schoolteacher, Tom McLaughlin, from Maine shares his story and asks a good question. Why was AIDS treated differently by public health than other sexually transmitted diseases? Here's the paragraph:

One of my sisters worked as a public health nurse in Massachusetts early in that period.

Muhammad's Night Journey - Heavens Two through Seven

Continuing with Muhammad's description of his supposed Night Journey from Humphrey Prideaux's Life of Mohamet...

Noah's Ark

"From the first heaven Muhammad said he ascended up into the second heaven which was a distance of five hundred years journey above the first. He determines this to be the distance of each of the seven heavens above the other. As in the first heaven the gates were opened for him, where at the entrance he met Noah who greatly rejoiced at the sight of Muhammad and recommended himself to his prayers. In this heaven, which was made of pure gold, Muhammad tells us he saw twice as many angels as in the former and among them one of such an extraordinary size that while standing in the second heaven, his head reached into the third.

"From the second heaven Muhammad ascended upwards into the third which was made of precious stones. At the entrance he met Abraham who also recommended himself to Muhammad’s prayers. In this third heaven Muhammad said he saw a vast many more angels than in the second heaven and among them another large angel of such phenomenal size that the distance between his two eyes was seventy thousand days’ journey, according to our rate of traveling here on earth.

Random Thoughts & Questions on the State of the Faith and the World

Gender ideology is demonic, but who am I to judge?

Many people in the pew could tell you more about sports history and rules than about the history of the Church and her doctrines.

Why is it okay for a man to flaunt his "junk" in front of little girls in a woman's locker room, when he'd be arrested if he hid behind a bush in a trench coat and did the same?

In view of Jesuits universities now fully immersed in the transgender culture which Pope Francis calls "demonic," can we expect them to be disciplined?

Thought for the Day from Fr. Tom: ISIS in the womb!

"It is tragically ironic that so many Catholics, who vigorously condemn ISIS for beheading and dismembering babies in Aleppo, vigorously commend Planned Parenthood for beheading and
dismembering babies in utero."

Remember this photo the next time you hear people expressing how much good Planned Parenthood does. Planned Parenthood is ISIS in the womb! And people like Cecile Richards are the equivalent of the Nazi elite zealous to eliminate the "unwanted" and undesirables. 

Muhammad's Ascent through the Seven Heavens

The Seven Heavens
of Islam

We continue with Humphrey Prideaux's Life Of Mohamet...

Muhammad's Description of the First Heaven

“On their arrival at the first heaven, the angel Gabriel knocked at the gate and having told the porter who he was and that he brought Muhammad the friend of God with him by divine command, the gates, which he describes to be of an exceptional size, were immediately opened. This first heaven Muhammad tells us was made of pure silver with stars hanging by chains of pure gold, each being as large as Mount Noho near Mecca in Arabia. In these stars angels kept watch to guard heaven and to keep devils from approaching near for fear that they should overhear and know what was done there in heaven.

Adam, before he
met Muhammad

“On first entering heaven, Muhammad said he met an old decrepit man, our first father Adam, who immediately embraced him and gave thanks to God for so great a son and then recommended himself to his prayers. As he entered further Muhammad said he saw a multitude of angels in all manner of shapes; some angels were in shapes of men, others in shapes of beasts, and others in shapes of birds. Among those who appeared in the several shapes of birds he saw a rooster as white as snow and so large that when his feet stood upon the first heaven his head reached up to the second heaven, which was the distance of five hundred years’ journey according to the rate we usually travel here on earth. However, the people, as they relate the matter of the seven heavens of their prophet, think it was much higher, telling us that the head of this chicken reached up through all the seven heavens as far as to the throne of God.

These are just a handful of current articles illustrating the insanity of the latest tweak to the LGBQT insanity code -- all-gender bathrooms, locker rooms, and even sleeping arrangements. As I was reflecting at Mass this morning on how we got to this point, where the world seems utterly insane, I recalled the quote:

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

The Priest, the Protestant & the Horse Races

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

It’s Kentucky Derby/Triple Crown time. This post is for Catholic families and people in the Thoroughbred industry – jockeys, trainers, horse owners and farm owners, breeders, grooms, exercise riders, and all others who love racing (and who probably already have heard this joke).

The Priest, the Protestant & the Horse Races

One day while he was at the track playing the ponies and all but losing his shirt, Mitch, a Protestant, noticed a Catholic priest who stepped out onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race. Lo and behold, that horse – quite a long shot – won the race! 

Before the next race, as the horses began lining up, Mitch watched with interest as the old priest once again stepped onto the track. Sure enough, as the horses for the 5^th race came to the starting gate, the priest made a blessing on the forehead of one of the horses. Mitch made a beeline for a betting window and placed a small bet on the horse blessed by the priest. Again, even though it was another long shot, the horse the priest had blessed won the race!

It would be better to have a millstone hung round your neck and
be cast into the sea than to scandalize one of these little ones.

Go to Mercator.Net to watch a documentary about the war on children by Planned Parenthood, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.N. Population Fund (previously known as the U.N. Fund for Population Activities), and other groups promoting the sexualization of children. These sex abusers infiltrate schools, health organizations, government programs, and even churches all over the world. Parents, YOU must be the gatekeepers protecting your children! Early sexual experimentation hurts children! The younger they are, the more they are traumatized and the earlier they engage in risky behavior that can damage them  physically emotionally and spiritually. Don't let it happen to your children!
