Pope Francis Talks to Children

A few days ago, Pope Francis met with a group of children. He pitched his 5-page prepared speech, gave a brief summary, and then answered questions. One was on politics. Now, frankly, I hate politics, but I'm involved because if Christians aren't who does that leave? I'm not super involved, but I do more than vote. I actively support pro-life candidates. I used to be a precinct chairman, but I don't much walk the precincts these days. I write letters to the editor, collect signatures to get the good guys on the ballot, etc. I was interested to read what Pope Francis' said to the children and their parents about politics:

Getting involved in politics is a Christian duty. We Christians cannot be like Pilate and wash our hands clean of things. We need to get involved in politics because it’s one of the highest expressions of charity. It takes the common into consideration. Lay Christians must work in politics. That’s no easy task you might say. But it isn’t an easy task becoming a priest either! Politics is dirty but the reason it has become dirty is that Christians didn’t get deeply enough involved in the evangelical spirit. It’s easy to find excuses for this… but what do I do? Working for the common good is a Christian duty.

He had a lot of other great things to say as well which you can read about here.

The pope has asked us to pray three Hail Marys a day for him. Will you say yes? The three Hail Mary's devotion is also a practice that can inoculate souls against mortal sin. If you stay close to the Mother of God, you will be close to Jesus. She is so entwined with her Son that you cannot love one without loving the other.

Mary, Mother of our Savior, pray for us and for our Holy Father, Pope Francis.

An Interesting Fact of Fertility and Politics

Conservatives are often painted as doddering, old codgers, but data from the last election (See below) paints a much different picture. Take a peak and take heart if you're a conservative. Promiscuous young sluts (It's Planned Parenthood's term not mine) like Sandra Fluke may make Time's person of the year list, but the hand that rocks the cradle holds the future. My husband and I raised five conservative kids who married five conservative spouses and we have 21 grandkids who will be nurtured on faith, truth, and common sense. I read the Facebook pages of my pro-life friends' children who are also conservative to the core. They are busy having babies and staying home to raise them. How many kids do you think Sandra Fluke will create in her liberal image? The future is ours unless, of course, they kill us off which is certainly a possibility given the history of tyrants. But even that is a lose-lose situation. The blood of martyrs is the seedbed of faith.

Fertility Rates are a Good Indicator of Political Leanings

A Big Thank You to Barack and Michelle Who Are Working Hard to Build a Conservative Movement!

A friend sent me the post below which is circulating the Internet. I thought, wherever it comes from the ideas have real merit and demonstrate the Biblical principle that "All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and serve according to His purpose."  It's a great reminder to us that, no matter how bleak things look, God is still in charge and faithful to His people.

So never lose heart. In the Old Testament, God often used pagans and the enemies of faith to chastise His people and bring them back to Him. Isn't that what He continues to do today?

President Obama is part of His plan. When the wicked rule, the people call out to God for mercy. So, thank you, God, for President Obama who is working so hard to reinvigorate conservatism. That's one part of his agenda we can support whole-heartedly!

A Different Slant On The Obama Presidency

One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and she may have a very good point. She says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream! She gives us an entirely new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing, and she says that she will thank God for the President. Keep reading for her additional comments and an explanation.

When discussing Obama, she says:

1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do.

2. Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.

3. Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid - soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2010, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House - if not the Senate - back to the Republicans.

4. Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well:

Liberals tax, borrow and spend.

Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America .

Liberals want to take over the economy.

Liberals think they know what is best for everyone.

Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.

5. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans. Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America !

6. Obama, with his "amazing leadership," has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.

7. In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong.

8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans!

Again, I want to say: "Thank you, Barack Obama!" After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!

November 2nd is HUGE!!!!

Is a Catholic Tea Party Coming?

A friend called me today to say she thinks we need the equivalent of a Catholic Tea Party to wake up Catholics and get them energized to defend the faith. It's a message that seems to be germinating in the minds of other orthodox Catholics. Mike Voris discussed it a few days ago on The Vortex.  Here's his take on it.



The dissent group, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, hates the idea of a Catholic Tea Party which means the idea has merit and should definitely be pursued. The image of Catholics in the pew getting angry enough to start exposing and doing their best to boot bad bishops must have them quaking in their boots. After all, these dissenters only have power because they are entrenched in chanceries around the country under betrayer bishops waving the banner of liberalism. Bad priests like Frs. Richard Sparks, Richard McBrien, and Richard Rohr (Poor St. Richard!) have only been able to advance their evil ideas because of bad bishops who enable them. They have a helluva lot to answer for and I mean that literally. Jesus told us we'd know men by their fruits and theirs are as rotten and putrid as the failed Irish potato crop.

So I told my friend I'm all for a Catholic Tea Party. Whatever we can do to educate Catholics about faith in action the way the tea party movement is educating voters about the Constitution, let's do it. The Catholic dissenters may have money poured into their coffers by the likes of George Soros, but we have the power of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, they don't have the chance of a snowball in hell.
