Contact President Trump TODAY! Can We Save Baby Charlie?

I received the email BELOW from Bob Marshall. Please take action. How can it be right for hospitals and courts to kidnap children from their parents. Why can't these parents make decisions for their baby? Since when are doctors and judges allowed to usurp parental authority? Please ask President Trump to request the U.K. to release Baby Charlie and allow him to be brought to the U.S. for treatment. After the parents made a heartfelt video plea, the hospital is giving them a few more days before disconnecting life support. We have this short weekend to stand up for Baby Charlie. Fight for his and his parents' rights. If Charlie were your baby wouldn't you want to give him every chance? Pray and fast for this little one and his parents and pray the President Trump intercedes.

Reaping the Consequences of Political Correctness - Univ. of Missouri Scrambling

What do you mean my degree in gender studies is worthless?
That's a macro-aggression. I need a safe space and a teddy.

Mizzou Loses Applicants Thanks To Political Correctness, Forced To Rent Dorms For Football Games

Ya just gotta laugh! And rejoice that alumni have enough common sense left to cut off the dough to these crazy places.May all such schools experience the same. Hey, they can convert all those empty dorms into apartments for the illegals invading the country! The lobby lounge can be the prayer space for Muslim worship.

Personally, I think most colleges and universities will be collecting cobwebs as graduates with degrees or courses in feminist studies, black studies, gender studies, climate studies, queer musicology (USLA), etc. try to find jobs in the real world. "I went into $100,000 in debt for a degree and now all I can get a job doing is driving a truck, tending bar, or being a greeter at Wal-Mart?"

Think of an employer asking a prospective employee fresh from the ivory tower about his degree and hearing that his favorite course was The Phallus (Occidental). You can't make this stuff up. Satire is dead. It's been replaced by the insanity of the leftist loons!

Bishop Paprocki Responds to His Critics

A Bishop Who's a Real Shepherd. How refreshing!

Chris Ferrara at The Remnant, a warrior for the faith, raised the question of why bishops should be praised for just doing their duty. It's a valid point, but one that can be answered fairly easily by looking at the bench of English bishops during Henry VIII's reign. When a culture is collapsing into immorality, it takes real courage to stand up and speak the truth.

Would Walker Percy Be Surprised? Not Hardly!

Thanatos, the Greek god of death

‘Death Panel’: European Court Says Terminal Baby Must Die Despite Parents Funding Extra Care

The Thanatos Culture at work!

In Greek mythology Thanatos was the personification of death. He is the minor god that most inspires the morally bankrupt culture of death. Those who worship death, like the English death panel, are like the false mother in the Solomon story. The child must die to justify her grief. Misery loves company. It isn't grief that these doctor ghouls are justifying -- it's their lust for power and control. They think they are gods with the power over life and death. WE decree that WE know better than the parents and by OUR decree baby Charlies must "DIE WITH DIGNITY!" 

Not only would Walker Percy not be surprised. He wrote about this in The Thanatos Syndrome. His character, Fr. Smith, describes his World War II experience liberating Eglfing-Haar, a famous hospital outside Munich with a children's ward called the Kinderhaus. The English death panel could have worked there doing their dirty business:

What Would Walker Percy Think?

Anyone who's followed this blog for awhile knows I love to read. I'm pretty eclectic in my choices. My book club is reading Ratzinger's
Spirit of the Liturgy and will move from there to Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. Thinking about the liturgy got me to pick up the Ottaviani Intervention and I also just finished re-reading Walker Percy's The Thanatos Syndrome which is fascinating, especially in view of the "thanatos culture" we live in.

After reading Percy's fiction, I picked up a book of his essays which contains an interview with Zoltan Abady-Nagy conducted shortly after Percy celebrated his 70th birthday, a milestone I reached myself a few months ago. One thing really struck me in the interview. Addressing the question of whether literature is more "cognitive" or "morally judgmental" Percy said this:

Deja Vu: Did the Ambiguity of Vatican II Lead to Amoris Laetitia?

I'm reading the short book on the Ottaviani Intervention which was published in 1969 before the Novus Ordo was officially sanctioned. In his letter sent to Pope Paul VI, Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani wrote:

…the Novus Ordo represents, both as a whole and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent… [my emphasis, et ad infra]

…It is evident that the Novus Ordo has no intention of presenting the Faith as taught by the Council of Trent, to which, nonetheless, the Catholic conscience is bound forever.

The intervention was not the work of Cardinal Ottaviani alone, but of theologians and other members of the hierarchy concerned about the changes in the Mass that downplayed the elements of sacrifice and even the doctrine of Transubstantiation.

Guerrilla Warfare against Planned Parenthood! Hit 'em where it hurts.

Do you ever get unsolicited mail from Planned Parenthood? I do. I suspect it's because I signed up at an educational site that archives Margaret Sanger's work.

I fully believe you have to know your enemy to fight your enemy so I've read Sanger's autobiography and many of the articles she published in the Birth Control Review. But that's another story.

What do you do when you get that kind of a mailing? Roll your eyes and throw it in the trash I bet.

Please don't!

Are You Eating Poisoned Food?

Yes! We all are. Thanks to groups like Monsanto we're all consuming glyphosate. It's in the food supply, even non-GMOs and organic crops are tainted with glyphosate. And when I read that every sample of honey no matter where it comes from has glyphosate in it...well...that made me downright mad.

Monsanto is Scrambling

I'm also concerned for my grandchildren. An MIT researcher predicts that by 2025 half of children will be diagnosed as autistic and that the symptoms of autism closely resemble glyphosate toxicity as well as the symptoms of dementia. I'd like to think all of this is just alarmist, but it makes sense that putting all this poison on crops may have unintended consequences. I expect this is one of the factors affecting the bee populations too.

It makes sense from a spiritual point of view as well. Think of the plagues of Egypt. We've poisoned our spiritual lives with sin because we worship the pleasures of the world and we've poisoned our physical lives with chemicals because we worship our green lawns. Give me a field of dandelions any day!
