News and Catholic Commentary

This section of our website will concern things that touch upon the Catholic Faith and the apostasy of the Vatican II sect, as well as many other items which are significant and valuable for our readers to see.  By linking to outside websites, we do not endorse them or suggest that people could support them.  Rather, it is simply because we deem those particular news items or linked pages to be of value or interest.  Among other things, this news section of our website will provide corroborating evidence for what we have proven in our books, articles and DVDs: that the worldwide structure under Benedict XVI, which follows Vatican II and the invalid New Mass (the Novus Ordo), and which claims to be the Roman Catholic Church, is actually a counterfeit sect of the last days that poses as the Catholic Church but is not.  This column is updated frequently. 

 

Big Brother might have your DNA

 

“Imagine giving birth to a baby, only to find out that a sample of his or her DNA was taken without your permission. Immediately you begin to think about possible scenarios – is the government keeping your child’s personal data on file for future use? Could outside companies buy your baby’s DNA for research purposes? Might you wake up one day to find out that little Emily or Jacob has been cloned?  Unfortunately, this is not the stuff of science fiction. And while there haven’t been any reported cases of cloning, in many states a baby’s DNA could be taken unbeknownst to the parents. It’s exactly what happened to Annie Brown from Mankato, Minnesota…”

 

Secret world bankers meeting

 

“The world's top central bankers began arriving in Australia for high-level talks as renewed fears about the strength of the global economic recovery gripped world share markets.  Representatives from 24 central banks and monetary authorities, including the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank, landed in Sydney to meet tomorrow at an undisclosed location.”

More Earthquakes swarm Yellowstone area

 

“The University of Utah Seismograph Stations reports that a period of increased seismic activity occurred on Feb. 2, beginning at 3:30 p.m. MST. This period of increased activity lasted about 6 hours and included at least 2 events that were reported felt in Yellowstone National Park. The two largest earthquakes during this sequence were magnitude 3.1 and 2.8 that occurred at 7:31 p.m. and 7:44 p.m. respectively.  These earthquakes are part of an ongoing swarm in Yellowstone National Park that began Jan. 17, (1 p.m. MST). The largest earthquake in the swarm as of 7 a.m. MST, Feb. 03, has been a magnitude 3.8. There have been 1,719 located earthquakes in the swarm of magnitude 0.3 to 3.8.”

 

Yellowstone Eruption days away?

 

“The current earthquake swarm at Yellowstone can now be called the longest and most eventful in modern history… While the debate is raging whether the intensity of these quakes is being under-reported, the more important issue of depth of these quakes is being ignored. They have been closer and closer to the surface.”

 

94 suspected V-2 sex abusers in Germany

 

“The German news magazine Der Spiegel reports that the number of sexual abuse cases in Germany by Catholic clerics and laymen is much higher than was previously thought.

According to a poll by Spiegel, answered by 27 Catholic dioceses in Germany, more than 94 clerics and laymen have been suspected of sexual abuse since 1995. Only 30 have been prosecuted, due to the statute of limitations.”

New Monopoly “Revolution Edition” is cashless

“Hasbro has unveiled the design of the new 75th anniversary edition of their classic board game, Monopoly, set to hit stores in fall of 2010. "Monopoly: Revolution Edition" is slick and round instead of dull and square, with debit cards and an ATM instead of paper money and a banker…”

 

MTV donated Haiti funds to abortion group

“MTV is facing criticism from a pro-life group for having a fundraising campaign to raise money for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti and donating proceeds to a pro-abortion group. Money raised from MTV’s “Hope for Haiti Now” digital release and telethon will go to UNICEF.”

 

Boy busted for two-inch plastic gun at school

 

“A nine-year-old boy was disciplined this week for bringing a two-inch-long toy gun to his Staten Island school with him.  The "New York Daily News" reports that Patrick Timoney was playing with Lego figures in the school cafeteria when he pulled out the tiny machine gun.  He propped it in his Lego police officer's equally tiny hand.  Next thing Timoney knew, he was in the principal's office.”

House passes "Cyber Security Bill"

 

This is more nonsense.  It’s part of a move to give them a martial-law type of authority over the internet whenever they declare an “emergency.”  Immediately after the controlled press warned of a coming “cyber terror attack” last week, this bill was passed: “The House today overwhelmingly passed a bill aimed at building up the United States’ cybersecurity army and expertise, amid growing alarm over the country’s vulnerability online.”

Ecuador volcano spews ash across province

 

“Wind shifts brought volcanic ash to a wide area of central Ecuador, including a provincial capital, after a once-dormant volcano erupted, authorities said.”

 

Couple found "guilty" in "faith-healing" trial

 

“A Clackamas County jury sent a clear signal Tuesday that parents who rely solely on ‘faith healing’ to treat their children face prison if a child dies.  Jeffrey and Marci Beagley were found guilty Tuesday of criminally negligent homicide in the death of their 16-year-old son, Neil. The boy died in June 2008 of complications from an undiagnosed congenital urinary blockage after his parents attempted to heal him with prayer, anointing with oil and laying on of hands.”

 

V-2 Cologne "priest" raises funds to build mosque

What total apostasy!  The parishioners were also involved: “Cologne priest, Fr Franz Meurer, has led his parish to raise funds for the construction of Germany’s biggest mosque which will be built in a city most famous for its Catholic cathedral.”

 

Holder sued over "Hate Crimes Act"

Benedict XVI’s Recent Heresies

 

MHFM: We’ve updated our Benedict XVI's recent heresies file with some new heresies.  There are some bad ones.

 

Father faces jail for taking daughter to "church"

 

The interesting question is: why is a news crew following this man to make sure that he doesn’t violate the order prohibiting anything anti-Jewish?  The answer is, of course, that the media is dominated by Jewish interests.  If this didn't involve Judaism, they wouldn’t be following this man: “A father from the Midwest who knew he could be accused of defying a court order barring him from taking his daughter to church took her anyway -- and now he is facing contempt of court charges and jail.  Thirty-five-year-old Joseph Reyes, holding his 3-year-old in his arms, walked into Holy Name Cathedral on January 17. A news crew videotaped the act of defiance.  "I have been ordered by a judge not to expose my daughter to anything non-Judaism…"

 

So-called "terror attack" said to be "months away"

The real question is: how do they know all of this, yet remain unable to arrest the so-called plotters?  The answer is, in our opinion, that it’s a bunch of nonsense.  It sounds like propaganda, put out in advance, to prepare the public for an upcoming false flag operation which will be used to increase the police state and possibly justify a future war.  We sometimes laugh when we hear the reports that they’ve been getting “terrorist chatter” about upcoming operations, including specific types, places, etc.  Yes, they can pick up specifics and all kinds of “chatter” but can’t stop them.  How convenient…

 

“Intelligence Officials Warn Attempted Al Qaeda Attack Months Away- Al Qaeda can be expected to attempt an attack on the United States in the next three to six months, senior U.S. intelligence officials told Congress Tuesday.”

 

Williamson "unrepentant" in "Holocaust" denial

 

As expected from the mainstream media, this article is totally slanted: “Williamson has no intention of revising his views on the gas chambers. When Nazi hunter Beate Klarsfeld sent him a book about the history of the Holocaust last year, he set it aside, unread. "The fact is that the 6 million people who were supposedly gassed represent a huge lie," he wrote recently to his fellow members of the SSPX, noting that "a completely new world order was built" on this "fact." The Jews, he added, "became ersatz saviors thanks to the concentration camps."

 

Naked Body Scanners to be installed in half of nation's airports

 

“WASHINGTON — Body scanners that look under airline passengers' clothing for hidden weapons could be in nearly half the nation's airport checkpoints by late 2011, according to an Obama administration plan announced Monday.  The $215 million proposal to acquire 500 scanners next year, combined with the 450 to be bought this year, marks the largest addition of airport-security equipment since immediately after the 9/11 attacks. There are only 40 body scanners in a total of 19 airports now.”

Earth religions get worship area at AF Academy

 

“The Air Force Academy has set aside an outdoor worship area for Pagans, Wiccans, Druids and other Earth-centered believers, school officials said Monday.  A double circle of stones atop a hill on the campus near Colorado Springs has been designated for the group, which previously met indoors.”

 

Cuba said to be on verge of economic collapse

 

“… Cuba is on the verge of an economic collapse that can only be prevented if President Raul Castro institutes sweeping economic and social reforms.  "The economic situation in Cuba has turned rather complicated with signs that it is close to free fall," the Havana Archdiocese said in the latest edition of its "Palabra Nueva" (New Word) magazine.”

 

Germany shaken by systematic abuse at V-2 "Catholic" school

 

“A priest last week admitted in a statement to SPIEGEL he had abused a number of pupils at an elite Berlin high school run by Jesuit priests. In recent days, around 20 former students have come forward alleging they were sexually abused by priests at the school. The director of Canisius College has described the years-long abuse as "systematic."

 

CBS rejects Super Bowl Ad from gay dating site

 

That’s great news: “CBS is saying no to a company offering to pay it $2.5 million for a spot to promote gay dating Website ManCrunch. The network said it has declined the 30-second spot because it did not meet the network's Standards and Practices rules.”

 

New Mass Debate

This is an interesting new debate on the New Mass.  It will be found permanently under Traditional Catholic Audios.

 

Family threatened by UK homeschool bill

 

“The Children's, Schools and Families bill proposed in Parliament says home-schooling parents should be forced to apply annually for registration and mandates criminal background checks for parents who wish to homeschool.  It would also give local governments the authority to monitor home-schooled children to check if they are safe and well. But Randall Hardy is outraged at the intrusion the legislation would cause.”

 

Justice Roberts hints he could overturn Roe v. Wade

 

“Chief Justice John Roberts last week made it clear that the Supreme Court over which he presides will not hesitate to sweep away its own major constitutional rulings when doing so is necessary to defend America’s bedrock governing document.  The announcement of that guiding core principle means two very big things. First, Roberts and his fellow strict constructionists on the court are now armed and ready with a powerful rationale for overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion ruling if Justice Anthony Kennedy or a future justice becomes the fifth vote against Roe.”

 

"Holocaust"-denying bishop to face charges in German court

What an outrage: “… bishop Richard Williamson has been charged with inciting racial hatred, after downplaying the extent of the Holocaust in an interview on German soil. A Regensburg court on Wednesday summoned Catholic bishop Richard Williamson to face trial for inciting racial hatred. The charge was sufficiently minor that the Briton would not be obliged to attend the hearing, which is set for April 16.  Initially the court fined Williamson 12,000 euros ($16,900) for an interview he gave to a Swedish television station - filmed near Regensburg in Bavaria - in which he said he believed between 200,000 and 300,000 Jews were killed in Nazi concentration camps, and none of them in gas chambers.  Williamson appealed against the fine, which is why the case will come to trial. Denying the Holocaust is a criminal offence in Germany.”

 

TN tells high schools how to teach the Bible

 

“Starting next fall, Tennessee high schools that want to teach students about Noah, Moses and the Prodigal Son will have a state-approved road map to do so.  Thursday, the Tennessee Board of Education approved guidelines on how to teach the Bible in public high schools.  The curriculum is in response to 2008 legislation, which authorized the state to create a course for a "nonsectarian, nonreligious academic study of the Bible."

 

"Academics" fight rise of Creationism at universities

“A growing number of science students on British campuses and in sixth form colleges are challenging the theory of evolution and arguing that Darwin was wrong. Some are being failed in university exams because they quote sayings from the Bible… as scientific fact and at one sixth form college in London most biology students are now thought to be creationists.  Earlier this month Muslim medical students in London distributed leaflets that dismissed Darwin's theories as false. Evangelical Christian students are also increasingly vocal in challenging the notion of evolution.”

 

V-2 "priest" checks fingerprints for "mass" attendance

 

“Polish priest has installed an electronic reader in his church for schoolchildren to leave their fingerprints in order to monitor their attendance at mass, the Gazeta Wyborcza daily said on Friday.

The pupils will mark their fingerprints every time they go to church over three years and if they attend 200 masses they will be freed from the obligation of having to pass an exam prior to their confirmation, the paper said.”

 

U.S. rep pushes to extend student non-discrimination to homosexuality

 

“U.S. Representative Jared Polis (D-CO) has introduced a law that would allow high school students who feel discriminated against based on their perceived sexual orientation to pursue charges in federal court. Polis on Wednesday introduced the “Student Non-Discrimination Act,” which has 60 co-sponsors.”

 

New Fatima DVD is now Available

 

Our new DVD is available for order. 

 

DVD: The Third Secret of Fatima, the Impostor Sr. Lucia, and the End of the World (Click here for info and ordering options)

 

 

This DVD contains the very best information from all the DVDs we have ever put out dealing with the post Vatican II apostasy.  It also contains critical new information, and connects everything with what is predicted in the Third Secret of Fatima.  This is the best DVD we have ever released, and the most important DVD that has been produced on the Catholic Church.  This is a must-see.

 

UK Gov't: Children age five should get sex education

 

“CHILDREN as young as five should have compulsory sex education classes, according to Government guidelines published today.   The Department for Children says new primary school pupils should be encouraged to ask about sex, while seven year olds will learn about domestic violence.  The Government has dismissed claims that early sex education encourages sexual activity. Faith schools would also have to provide the classes. Sex education will be covered as part of classes that will become mandatory in 2011.”

 

Scientists in climate-gate scandal hid data

 

“The university at the center of the climate change scandal over stolen e-mails broke the law by refusing to hand over its raw data for public scrutiny.”

 

UK Victory over homosexual "equality" bill

 

The fact that this is even up for discussion shows us where we are: “… the House of Lords on Monday defeated changes to a law that would have required church groups to hire homosexuals or others whose manner of life is inconsistent with their teaching.  Peers voted 216 to 178 in favor of Lady O’Cathain’s amendment to retain an exemption for religious groups to equality employment laws.”

 

Pro-life Super Bowl ad faces opposition

 

“Tebow… is set to appear alongside his mother in a television commercial about her decision not to have an abortion.  Now, groups including the National Organization for Women and the Feminist Majority are calling on CBS to pull the commercial from the broadcast for its anti-abortion message.”

 

The supporters of abortion can’t restrain their diabolical opposition to something simple which exposes their evil agenda.  This reminds us of what an outrage it is that the Vatican II sect doesn’t excommunicate such people.  We should add that, contrary to what many think, the individual featured in the anti-abortion ad is not a Christian.  He’s a non-Catholic.  Moreover, he’s phony even if measured by his own heretical standards.  We mention that because, to our amazement, one false traditionalist group (hint, see Rom. 11:5), actually proclaimed him a “Christian.”  This disgusting and abominable group is steeped in total apostasy as a result of years of obstinate adherence to, and in fact positive promotion of, the Vatican II sect and its very worst heretics.

 

German Home-Schoolers given political asylum in U.S.

 

“A family… who said they were being persecuted for their religious beliefs in Germany have been granted political asylum in the US. The couple fled to Tennessee so they could home-school their five children, which is illegal in Germany.”

 

Moscow mayor calls "gay pride" march Satanic

Wow, that’s good news.  He definitely gets some points for that: “The mayor of Moscow… said Monday that he would never allow a gay pride parade in the city, calling it "Satanic" and saying marchers should be punished.   "A gay parade... cannot be called anything but a Satanic act," Yury Luzhkov told an education conference, quoted by Interfax news agency. "We haven't permitted such a parade and we won't permit it in the future."  Luzhkov called for gay marchers to be punished. "It's high time that we stop propagating nonsense discussions about human rights, and bring to bear on them the full force and justice of the law," he said.”

 

Queens woman killed during abortion

 

“Detectives are investigating a Queens clinic where a 37-year-old woman was fatally injured while undergoing an abortion, officials said Tuesday.  Alexandra Nuñez began bleeding heavily during the procedure at A1 Medicine in Jackson Heights on Monday, officials said.  One of Nuñez's arteries was inadvertently severed and she went into cardiac arrest, according to police sources.”

 

Under fire, Polish “bishop” steps back from "Holocaust" statement

 

“Polish Catholic bishop who has been denounced for calling the Holocaust a "Jewish invention" distanced himself from the statement on Tuesday (Jan. 26), saying that he had been misunderstood.  In an interview published Monday (Jan. 25) on an Italian Catholic Web site, Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek was quoted as saying that Jews had "appropriated" the Holocaust for propaganda purposes.  "It's undeniable that most of the dead in the concentration camps were Jews, but the list also includes gypsies, Poles, Italians and Catholics," Pieronek said. "Therefore it is not licit to appropriate that tragedy to make propaganda. The Shoah (Holocaust) in that sense is a Jewish invention. ... It's used as a propaganda weapon and to obtain advantages that are often unjustified."

 

Aide says B-16's visit to synagogue "memorable"

“Benedict XVI's visit to Rome's Synagogue on earlier this month laid the foundation for further development in relations between Jews and Christians, says a Vatican spokesman.  Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, director of the Holy See's press office, called the Jan. 17 visit "memorable" during the most recent edition of the weekly Vatican Television program "Octava Dies."  The priest said that the presence of the Bishop of Rome in the synagogue was "a further step on the 'irrevocable' path of dialogue, fraternity and friendship between Jews and the Church that was opened by the Second Vatican Council."

 

Many children "hear voices"

 

“Nearly 1 in 10 seven- to eight-year-olds hears voices that aren't really there, according to a new study.”

 

Yellowstone sees more than 1,200 quakes in last week

 

Please disregard the false claims about the age of the Earth if you look at this article: “Yellowstone National Park is shaking again, but jitters seem few so far.  Over eight days, more than 1,270 mostly tiny earthquakes have struck between Old Faithful and West Yellowstone. The strongest dozen or so have ranged between magnitudes 3.0 and 3.8.  That's strong enough to feel - barely. The vast majority have been too weak to be felt even nearby.  Likewise, online chatter about an imminent volcanic eruption in Yellowstone hasn't really picked up compared with the attention that a similar quake swarm drew just over a year ago.”

 

Outrage over mention of Communist brutality alongside "Holocaust"

 

This is quite revealing.  Leading Holocaust researchers have criticized European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek ahead of his speech at Auschwitz Tuesday, for endorsing the equalization of the Nazi genocide with Communist brutal oppression. Some scholars call this growing trend "the gravest threat to preserving the memory of the Holocaust," suggesting it serves to exculpate populations complicit in the extermination of their Jewish minorities. "It is inconceivable that the ceremony at Auschwitz will feature an address by a parliament president who entertains initiatives meant to efface and obfuscate the Holocaust…’According to a number of leading Holocaust scholars, the state-sponsored equation of Nazi crimes with Communist brutality in Eastern Europe is the most serious threat to preserving the memory of the Holocaust.”

 

Even if one were to accept the “official Holocaust dogma” of 6 million killed, that number is much lower than the number killed by the Communists.  Yet we read above that they consider it a true heresy and outrage to even compare the two, or to speak of them in the same breath.  This is quite revealing about what some people think of non-Jewish lives, and how this propaganda ploy is used.  Any threat to it – no, anything which would fail to worship it as singularly unique – is met with harsh, irrational and even insane resistance and condemnation.

"Hell Pizza" in unholy row

 

“A [group] has condemned the opening of a Hell Pizza outlet – claiming the chain is making dough out of the devil…. John Van Bennekom… said he feared advertising for the pizza outlet’s new Brookwater store would send children a confusing message about hell… Hell Pizza’s advertising in Springfield features slogans such as “Kids are evil, feed them” while their pizzas feature names like Hot as Hell, Underworld, Purgatory and Damned.  “The flyers they send you have the word hell all over it and a devil as well…’”

 

India, China won't sign Copenhagen accord

 

“The Indian and Chinese governments have had a rethink on signing the Copenhagen Accord, officials said on Saturday, and the UN has also indefinitely postponed its Jan 31 deadline for countries to accede to the document.  An Indian official said that though the government had been thinking of signing the accord because it “did not have any legal teeth and would be good diplomatically”; it felt irked because of repeated messages from both UN officials and developed countries to accede to it.”

 

Alaska cruise line drops "priests," "Masses"

Not that these “Masses” were valid (they weren’t), but this is another sign of the incremental removal of all references to Christ and Catholicism from society.  “Just before Christmas, Celebrity Cruises, which operates throughout Alaska, announced that it would no longer have priests on board to celebrate daily and Sunday Masses.”

After pressure, company to remove Bible verses from gun sights

 

“The company embroiled in the controversy over Bible verse codes embossed on its gun sights announced that it will stop the practice. Michigan-based Trijicon, Inc., which has a $660 million multi-year contract with the U.S. Marine Corps, said Thursday that the company will stop putting Bible references on all its products for the U.S. military. It will also remove all Scripture references on U.S. military products that have yet to be shipped and provide 100 modification kits to the Pentagon to remove references that are on optical sights already used in the field.”

The Iowa [man] explains that to him "non-denominational" means that pastors are not to pray in the name of Jesus.”

British Airways bans Christian crosses, allows non-Christian symbols

 

This is interesting.  “A case has been launched in the Court of Appeal for Great Britain over a rule imposed by British Airways on employees allowing Muslims to wear a hijab, Jews to wear skullcaps, Sikhs to wear religious bracelets but banning a Christian woman from wearing a tiny silver cross necklace.”

 

It’s also very interesting to consider the headline of this linked article.  WorldNetDaily’s headline says: “Dump Christian crosses, but keep Muslim hijabs?”  In the headline, they focus only on the permission for Muslim symbols, even though the article reveals that Jewish and Sikh symbols were also permitted by the airline.  We point this out as another example of WorldNetDaily’s (sometimes disgustingly) pro-Jewish and pro-Israel agenda and bias.  Everything is extremely slanted to favor Jewish and Israeli interests.  In the same way, they attempt to make the threat and rise of Islam and “Islamic terrorism” seem ubiquitous.  This is done in order to shape public opinion in favor of war in the Middle East (i.e., against Israel’s enemies).  They sometimes have interesting news articles, such as this one, but they are extremely pro-Israel and pro-Jewish phony “Christians.”

 

"Preacher's" toe touches school lawn, he gets arrested

 

Not that we endorse all of his views, but this story is just amazing: “A New Jersey judge has dismissed a criminal case against a volunteer who was preaching the Gospel on public property in front of the Edison, N.J., High School when his toe inadvertently brushed the grass and he was arrested.

 

“It was last May when Parker was sharing the Gospel from a public sidewalk outside the high school after students were dismissed for the day.  The school principal came out and told him to leave, whereupon Parker explained his First Amendment free speech and free exercise of religion protections. Dissatisfied, the principal called police.  According to the ADF, when officers arrived they took control of the situation and instructed students "not to go near Parker.”  The principal then insisted that Parker be arrested.  "While speaking with officers, Parker's toe brushed against the grass along the school side of the sidewalk. The officers arrested him and issued him a summons for 'defiant trespassing,'" the ADF reported.”

Hate-Crimes Law named No. 1 Anti-Christian Act of 2009

 

“The new federal hate crimes law has all the potential to be a major attack on religious liberty and freedom of speech, according to top religious liberty attorneys… Attorneys who defend religious rights agree: The recently enacted hate-crimes law is a threat to religious liberty.” 

“The very fact that this law elevates ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ to the same protected status as race – that in and of itself is a cataclysmic shift in policy,” said Mathew Staver…”

''FRESH doubts were cast over controversial global warming theories yesterday after a major climate change argument was discredited.The International Panel on Climate Change was forced to admit its key claim that Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 was lifted from a 1999 magazine article. The report was based on an interview with a little-known Indian scientist who has since said his views were “speculation” and not backed up by research''...

B-16 meets with Lutherans, stresses "ecumenism"

Benedict XVI “began the Week of prayer for Christian unity as he welcomed an ecumenical delegation from the Lutheran Church of Finland in audience… The Holy Father cited the positive influence of the Second Vatican Council in making such an encounter possible, because through its edicts the Catholic Church is committed "irrevocably to following the path of the ecumenical venture, thus heeding the Spirit of the Lord who teaches us to interpret carefully the ‘signs of the times’"… "This is the path that the Catholic Church has wholeheartedly embraced since that time."  The Holy Father also expressed his hope that measures resulting from current Nordic Lutheran-Catholic dialogue, spurred on a decade ago through the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, would "contribute positively to the path which leads to the restoration of our lost unity."

"Transgender woman" gave transgender counseling at Iowa church center

 

“McIntyre ‘converted’ to Catholicism in the 1990s. A few years ago, the priest at St. Catherine's gave her permission to use parish space to see counseling clients on Saturday mornings, she said. McIntyre never spoke directly to the priest about being transgendered, but she believes he knew. She formed a transgender support group that met at the church, and the priest, Jim Laurenzo, sometimes stopped by the support group to say hello, McIntyre said. (Laurenzo, now retired, did not return telephone messages.)”

 

Haiti's voodoo priests object to mass burials

 

This is the kind of false religious leader John Paul II welcomed at Assisi: Haiti's voodoo priests are objecting to anonymous mass burials as an improper way to handle the tens of thousands of dead from the earthquake -- and have taken their complaint to President Rene Preval.  Dumping the dead in hurriedly excavated mass graves without proper rites is seen as desecration in a country where many believe in zombies -- dead bodies brought back to life by supernatural forces who could persecute the living.  Haitian officials say so far at least 50,000 bodies have been dumped in mass graves outside the shattered capital, Port-au-Prince, in what they view as the most efficient way to dispose of the fast-rotting corpses from Tuesday's disaster. "It is not in our culture to bury people in such a fashion," Haiti's main voodoo leader, Max Beauvoir, said in a meeting with Preval.”

 

Government policy now targeting "homophobia"

 

“Opponents of "hate crimes" legislation, who have frequently pointed to Canada as an example of how such laws are used to increasingly suppress moral objections to homosexuality, now have more fuel for their fire in the form of the "Quebec Policy Against Homophobia."  The policy, released last month by Quebec's Minister of Justice and Attorney General Kathleen Weil, assigns the government the task of eliminating all forms of "homophobia" and "heterosexism" – including the belief that homosexuality is immoral – from society as a whole.”

Benedict XVI goes to the Roman Synagogue

This is total apostasy!  We have quoted a few of the outrageous portions of his speech of apostasy: “Benedict XVI's visit to the Jewish community of Rome was held in an atmosphere of brotherhood and emotion…Inside the synagogue, filled to capacity, the meeting began with some songs accompanied by the assembly… Several times, the Jewish representatives cited Pope John Paul II, provoking applause from the Assembly and even a heartfelt standing ovation…In his address, Benedict XVI wanted to first confirm "the esteem and affection that the Bishop and the Church of Rome, as will the entire Catholic Church, have for this community and Jewish communities around the world. He recalled past wounds and of anti-Semitism, to which Christians have also contributed, but also emphasized the teaching of Vatican II…he has listed several areas where cooperation between Jews and Christians is necessary and urgent. This requires helping Christians read the Old Testament with Hebrew eyes [in other words, with their false belief that Jesus is not the prophesied Messiah]… "Christians and Jews - added the pontiff - share to a great extent a common spiritual patrimony, they pray to the same Lord, they have the same roots, and yet they often remain unknown to each other."

Mikey's mother, Najlah Feanny Hicks, wondered in an interview with The New York Times. "A terrorist can blow his underwear up and they don't catch him," Hicks said. "But my 8-year-old can't walk through security without being frisked.  Mikey received his first pat-down at age 2. Not surprisingly, he cried.”

 

On Benedict XVI's synagogue visit

 

“In Jerusalem, where Benedict last May had carefully navigated around many of these same flashpoints during a weeklong visit to the Holy Land, ultra-Orthodox youths have increasingly taken to spitting at Christian clergy and monks and nuns. The Bet Din Tzedek, the highest authority in the ultra-Orthodox community, sent out a letter urging an end to the practice. But as J.J. Goldberg noted at The Forward, the Bet Din stopped short of a halachic, or Jewish legal ruling, which would have stopped the problem. "If they don't rule against it, it's a signal that they aren't very serious."  In fact, Benedict's visit to the synagogue of Rome will take place on the Jewish feast of Mo'ed di Piombo, which commemorates the sudden rains that saved Rome's Jewish ghetto from burning to the ground after a pogrom in 1793. And that miracle could be considered a highlight of Jewish history in Rome. As Catholic News Service reports, for centuries the Jewish community in Rome was forced to take part in ceremonies surrounding the enthronement of new popes, and they were required to listen to "forced sermons" each Saturday evening from priests who used the same scripture readings that Jewish congregations heard that morning in the synagogue.

“But as well as Mo'ed di Piombo, this Sunday is also the annual Day of Jewish-Christian Reflection in Italy, which John Paul II established in 1990 as one of several groundbreaking initiatives in Catholic-Jewish relations. Those initiatives advanced a new era in Catholic-Jewish relations that opened after World War II and gained momentum after the reforms of the Second Vatican Council reversed many of the church's antagonistic teachings on Jews and others non-Christians.”

Disney battles group seeking protection for ex-gays

 

“A controversial group is asking Walt Disney Co. (DIS) shareholders to vote for a proposal to adopt non-discrimination language against "ex-gays" at the company's annual meeting in March. Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays, or PFOX, says Disney's exclusion of "ex-gay" language from the company's employment policies and diversity training discriminates against those who choose to "leave" homosexuality, according to a preliminary filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  PFOX says Disney's policies supports gays, lesbians, and bisexuals but excludes support of ex-gays. The Group says the addendum is necessary because "ex-gays and their supporters are subject to an increasingly hostile environment because they live out or support a different view of homosexuality," according to the filing.  Disney is urging shareholders to vote against the proposal.”

European governments cancel vaccine orders

 

The information about the harmful effects of vaccines spread so rapidly that an international backlash resulted.  Notice how the article doesn’t primarily attribute the cancelation to a growing fear of vaccines (which is the truth), but rather to their “decision” that only one shot is needed.  “Just months after rushing to order enough swine-flu vaccine to protect their citizens, European governments are canceling orders and trying to sell or give away extra doses as they sit on a glut of the vaccine.  The main reason: European health officials decided that only one shot per person was needed, instead of the two originally planned. Low demand is also to blame. Many Europeans believe the pandemic has turned out to be fairly mild, and don't see a reason to get vaccinated.”

 

Google challenge to China over censorship

It also cited a clampdown on the internet in China over the past year. Its statement raised the prospect of closing Google.cn and potentially its offices in China.”

 

Bankers run the Show

 

 

 

This is an interesting video which shows the power of the bankers.   It’s about former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich.   Blagojevich is a pro-abortion and foul-mouthed apostate.  But what’s so interesting is that on Dec. 8, 2008, when he was still Governor of Illinois, he decided to cut off business with one of the banks which would not release credit to local workers.  As critics of the Federal Reserve have pointed out, the private banks control the country by creating money out of nothing and by arbitrarily deciding not to give out loans when they desire.  In this way, they hold sway over the nation's economy and in fact run the power structure of the entire country. 

 

Pope Pius XI, Quadragesimo anno (#106), May 15, 1935: “This dictatorship is being most forcibly exercised by those who, since they hold the money and completely control it, control credit also and rule the lending of money.  Hence they regulate the flow, so to speak, of the life-blood whereby the entire economic system lives, and have so firmly in their grasp the soul, as it were, of economic life that no one can breathe against their will.”

 

So, Blagojevich decided to fight back and cut off business with the banks and the bankers who wouldn’t lend money.  The very next day he was arrested, and the entire media was branding him as the most despicable character in politics.  Just a coincidence?  We don’t think so.  This shows the power of the bankers, and how they run the show, the media, and much more.  If he hadn’t tried to fight against the bankers, it’s quite likely that he never would have been removed from office. 

 

What’s also quite interesting is that, in the interview in this video, he points out that they didn’t want other governors to follow his example.  If other governors had decided to cut off business with banks that simply played by their own rules, it might have caused a chain reaction against the banking faction.  They had to nip this in the bud right away and come down hard.

Insurance companies prefer abortion as cheaper than giving birth

 

“A local Planned Parenthood official has bluntly admitted why health insurance companies are increasingly comfortable with covering abortions: because the choice to kill an unborn child is cheaper than giving birth.  "A first trimester abortion is $300 to $450," Baltimore Planned Parenthood CEO John Nugent told the national business magazine Forbes Thursday. "But if the gestational age is higher you're paying for a surgical suite. That's why the insurance companies think they should be offering it. It's cheaper to terminate an unwanted pregnancy rather than taking it to term.  The Forbes article points out the cost estimates offered by the Health Care Blue Book: it lists a typical abortion in a physician's office costing $397, while a vaginal delivery costs $5,992, and a caeserean section is $8,558.”

9/11 Predictive Programming

 

 

 

This is a fascinating, jaw-dropping clip from a Fox show called, The Lone Gunmen.  This show first aired many months before September 11, 2001.  It first aired on March 4, 2001.  In this dramatic television episode, they envision a plot by certain people in the U.S. government to hijack a plane and crash it into the World Trade Center as part of a conspiracy to justify military action against certain countries.  Does that sound familiar?  The even feature Boston’s airport – the place from which two of the planes departed on 9/11!  It’s also worth noting that one individual who claimed to speak in-depth with one insider said that the conspirators have a sick kind of “creed.”  This “creed” requires them to tell the world in advance what they are planning, usually through television, movies, etc.  If there’s any truth to that claim, this fascinating clip lends credence to it. 

 

It should also be noted that the plot in this Fox show has the hijacked plane being flown by remote control into the World Trade Center.  Many of those who conclude to a conspiracy on this issue believe that the planes had to be flown by remote.  Some of the eyewitness evidence (“no widows on the side”) supports the same.  Finally, the show mentions that the conspiracy to hijack this plane and crash it into the World Trade Center is involved with “war games” scenarios.  Documentaries about the conspiratorial aspects of 9/11 cover how “war games” were taking place on 9/11, and that they were essential in confusing and distracting our normal military response and facilitating the conspiracy.  So, in short, this short clip, which aired months before 9/11, contains most of the features of what really happened.

Bankers get $4 trillion gift from Barney Frank

“It authorizes Federal Reserve banks to provide as much as $4 trillion in emergency funding the next time Wall Street crashes. So much for “no-more-bailouts” talk.

Analysis of the “Underwear Bomber” Conspiracy

 

This two-part interview contains some important key facts and analysis of the recent news concerning the “Underwear Bomber.”  This story has been dominating the headlines in the past week.  The developments with this supposed “terror attack” are important to consider.  They are relevant simply because this event is being used to essentially implement a police lockdown at world airports, and to further cement a police state.  This interview explains how all of these supposed “terror attacks” have the same hallmarks – which serve to indicate that they were deliberately orchestrated as part of a massive scheme to take away freedoms.

Consider the amazing fact that the “underwear bomber” was allowed on to the flight without a passport.  How does that happen with all the security in place?  Consider that he was escorted on to the flight by a well-dressed man.  Consider that a man was videotaping him from the beginning, as if it was being set up.  It has also been confirmed on mainstream news that the CIA was informed in advance about this man’s radical leanings.  Why do they always have to come out after the fact and admit that they “failed” or were “incompetent,” and that they somehow neglected to act upon information that was given to them?  It’s because there is enough verifiable information, in almost every case, to show that they knew about it in advance.  Those who believe that it’s unthinkable that anyone could mastermind such repeated conspiracies (e.g., 9/11) need to consider what they get out of it.  With this latest scare, in which no one was killed, they are literally moving to take away hosts of personal freedoms all over the world.  By continually setting up fake “terror attacks and scares,” they can literally control the entire world.  It’s very effective for them.

 

Finally, it’s interesting to note that this latest breach just happened to involve an “underwear” breach.  It couldn’t have been something else, of course.  Since it was an underwear breach, it can be used to justify the most invasive and detailed searches, scans and surveillance imaginable.

 

Canada installs giant statue of Lenin and Mao

Derek Dang, who saw the piece for the first time Wednesday. “People just can’t believe it.”  The large stainless steel sculpture is part of the Vancouver Biennale, a city-wide celebration of public art. The piece — Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head — was created by Beijing-based brothers Zhen and Qiang Gao.”

Furor erupts over Atheist display at State Capitol

“A conservative activist and Illinois comptroller candidate was escorted from the Illinois State Capitol building Wednesday when he tried to remove a sign put up by an atheist group.  William J. Kelly announced Tuesday that he planned to take down the sign put up by the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and on Wednesday, he tried to make good on his plan.  But Kelly said when he turned the sign around so it was face down, state Capitol police were quick to escort him away.”

 

The sign reads: "At the time of the winter solstice, let reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is just myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."  The sign was also on display at the Capitol at this time last year. The group says it filed for a permit to post the display in response to the state's decision to put up the nativity.”

Swedish family persecuted for homeschooling

 

“Christer and Annie Johansson, a… homeschooling family, are in the unimaginable position of permanently losing custody of their only child, seven-year-old Dominic Johansson, simply because they homeschool.  Swedish authorities boarded a plane bound for India in June of this year (Annie's home country) and removed Dominic from his parents.  They did not have a warrant nor have they charged the Johanssons with a crime; they simply did not believe homeschooling is an appropriate way to raise a child and insist the government raise Dominic.

 

"This is one of the most disgraceful abuses of power we have ever witnessed," said HSLDA attorney Mike Donnelly.  "The Swedish government is exercising its authority under the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child to unnecessarily break up this family."  The suffering being imposed on the Johanssons is hard to imagine.  Visitation was limited to two hours per week but now Swedish social services have curtailed that to one hour every fifth week and no visit at all for Christmas because the social workers will be on vacation.”

What apostasy: “Benedict XVI has signed a decree recognizing the late Pope John Paul II's life of “heroic virtue.” With his signature, Benedict XVI throws the door wide open to the beatification of the much-loved Polish Pontiff and gives him the title "Venerable."  On Saturday morning, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints led by Archbishop Angelo Amato met with Pope Benedict XVI to celebrate their 40thanniversary as a dicastery of the Holy See and to present decrees for papal approval.  Pope John Paul II's name was among the Congregation's nominations for those possessing “heroic virtue.”  The next step towards canonization of John Paul II is a second decree to be signed by the Pope that attributes a miracle to him.”

V-2 "Catholic" Church in India rejects converting others

This is outrageous heresy, but they are simply implementing the teaching of Antipopes John Paul II and Benedict XVI: “Churches in India’s Madhya Pradesh have agreed to stop poaching each other’s members, saying this threatens Christian unity… The practice of “sheep stealing” also confuses Christians and helps groups hostile toward them carry out their designs easily, concluded some 100 leaders of various Churches who met Dec. 12 in the state capital, Bhopal, UCA News reports.  Archbishop Leo Cornelio of Bhopal, head of the Catholic Church in the central Indian state, chaired the meeting organized by the archdiocese’s commission for ecumenism and dialogue.  The prelate urged participants to refrain from trying to attract members of other Churches to their own. This creates divisions among Churches, he noted.”

UK police harass woman for anti-gay letter

 

 

 

It’s quite interesting that the woman’s voice isn’t audible.  Earlier today it was audible, and something has been done to change it.  We know because we heard her voice clearly on this very video.  In many, if not all versions, her voice has been almost totally lowered.  She explained that the homosexuals spit on her, etc.  Even though you can’t hear her, this clip shows what’s going on with so-called “hate crimes” and thought police.

He also said a poster in his classroom that showed the Ten Commandments came from a stack of posters that had been left in the school's administration office. Freshwater said no one complained until he was accused of insubordination.”

“A bill proposed by the British government and now making its way through parliament would impose the most burdensome and intrusive regulation on homeschooling in the English-speaking world.  “This bill is breathtaking in its scope and reflects a perverse level of suspicion towards parents who home-educate their children,” says HSLDA Staff Attorney and Director of International Relations Michael Donnelly. “If this bill were to pass, it would be the most restrictive and overbearing law in the English-speaking world. It places total discretion in the hands of local educational officials to determine whether or not they will ‘register’ a home education program and would require criminal background checks for parents before they could begin homeschooling their own children.”

 

Israel to Vatican: we won't return room of Last Supper

“Israel Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon is visiting the [Vatican] in a bid to reach an agreement over property in the Holy Land but church ownership of the room in which tradition holds that the Last Supper took place is reportedly off limits… Israel has already made it clear that it will remain firm in its stance to maintain ownership of the room in which the Last Supper is believed to be held, which is on Mount Zion next to King David's tomb.”

 

Benedict XVI gives "human rights" award to non-Catholic Glucksman

 

“Benedict XVI bestowed the John Paul II Prize of the Auschwitz Institute for Human Rights to the French philosopher and author André Glucksmann.  The brief ceremony took place in the Vatican on Wednesday, immediately following the conclusion of the general audience in Paul VI Hall.  The award is given to those who have distinguished themselves in the promotion and defense of human rights in line with the teachings and witness of John Paul II.  André Glucksmann was born in 1937, in a suburb of Paris. His parents were Austrian Jews. In his book "A Child's Rage" (2006), Glucksmann recounts his experience growing up as a Jew in occupied France, and the effect it had on his philosophy.”

Headed for defeat, gay "marriage" vote killed in NJ

 

“Homosexual advocates in New Jersey snatched a same-sex "marriage" bill from the jaws of defeat on Wednesday, cancelling Thursday's scheduled vote in the state Senate after realizing that they lacked the votes for the measure's successful passage.  The bill's Senate sponsors, Sens. Raymond J. Lesniak (D-NJ 20) and Loretta Weinberg (D-NJ 37) revoked the bill from the Senate's agenda late Wednesday night, and stated that they wanted the General Assembly to examine the bill first before the Senate votes.”

 

Teachers forced to "hide in closets" to pray

 

“Florida school teachers say they are being forced to hide in closets to pray after a controversial court ruling.  Under an order crafted by the ACLU, school employees in Santa Rosa School District must act in an "official capacity" whenever they are at a "school event" – including breaks, after-school events on or off campus and private events held on campus.  Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit law firm, alongside Christian Educators Association International, is seeking to overturn the court order, which has resulted in three school officials being charged with contempt. According to the group, school officials are strictly prohibited from showing agreement with anyone "communicating with a deity," such as "bowing the head" or "folding hands." "School officials" must also prohibit "third-parties" from praying, Liberty Counsel said… the order has literally driven them to hide in closets to pray to avoid contempt charges.”

 

More U.S. "Christians" mix in Eastern, New Age beliefs

 

“Going to church this Sunday? Look around.  The chances are that one in five of the people there find "spiritual energy" in mountains or trees, and one in six believe in the "evil eye," that certain people can cast curses with a look — beliefs your Christian pastor doesn't preach.  In a Catholic church? Chances are that one in five members believe in reincarnation in a way never taught in catechism class — that you'll be reborn in this world again and again.  Elements of Eastern faiths and New Age thinking have been widely adopted by 65% of U.S. adults, including many who call themselves Protestants and Catholics…”

B-16’s latest heresies with schismatics, heretics and Muslims

 

We’ve updated our Benedict XVI's recent heresies file with some new heresies.

 

Mysterious turquoise light appears over Norway

“A eerie turquoise light spotted over Norway has sparked a mystery, with suggestions it could be a missile test. The Norwegian Metrological Institute has received hundreds of phonecalls from confused observers but so far has been unable to identify its origin.  Some experts have speculated that the phenomenon might have been caused by a Russian rocket launch. However, the Russian embassy insists such claims are completely unfounded. Neither meteorologists, astronomers, or the Armed Forces have offered a solution to the matter.”

 

Equality Bill redefines who can be a priest

 

Not that anyone should become a priest in the Vatican II sect, but this is what’s going on in the UK under the new “Equality” Bill.  People “could be at risk of prosecution under a proposed law unless they accept women, sexually active gays and transsexuals as candidates to the priesthood, the Catholic News Service reports.  In a briefing for Catholic members of the House of Lords, the bishops said the bill defines priests as employees rather than officeholders.  Under the terms of an equality bill that aims to stamp out discrimination in the workplace, the Church would be immune from prosecution only if priests spend more than 51 percent of their time in worship or explaining doctrine.”

 

Member of U.S. "Bishops" sub-committee a gay “rights” activist

This lesbian claims to be Catholic.  She’s another example of someone a true pope or bishop would immediately excommunicate: “Conservative blogs were buzzing on Friday with the discovery that a member of the USCCB's Subcommittee on Catholic Health Care is an active homosexual and gay rights activist… Henry is listed on the USCCB website as a member of the Subcommittee on Justice, Peace, and Human Development who helped produce the working paper, “A Fair and Just Workplace: Principles and Practices for Catholic Health Care.  ModernHealthCare.com also mentions that Henry is a labor adviser to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Catholic Health Care & Work Subcommittee.”

 

NJ gay "marriage" bill clears panel

 

“A bill offering gay and lesbian couples in New Jersey the same rights to marry as a man and woman was approved by a legislative committee last night and sent to the full Senate.  The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 7-6 in favor of the bill, a key hurdle that sets it up for a Dec. 10 vote in the full Senate.”

 

Samoa tsunami was "twice height of buildings"

 

“The tsunami that killed more than 200 people in the Samoan islands and Tonga in September was twice as tall as the buildings it hit, scientists say.  The wall of water towered 14m (46ft) and included as many as three major waves, researchers have found.”

 

McDonald's faces complaint over "transgender" dispute

 

“A Florida teenager who changed her gender from male to female six years ago is taking legal action against McDonald's for alleged discrimination.”

 

Biggest waves in a decade predicted in Hawaii

“Thousands of spectators and surfers are flocking to Hawaii's beaches to see the biggest waves in years crash ashore.  Heavy traffic backed up for miles Monday along roads leading to Oahu's North Shore.

Columbia University dorms go coed

 

“Columbia University male and female students will soon be able to live together in campus housing.  A new "gender-neutral" housing policy is expected to be implemented by the Ivy League school beginning next fall, university sources told the New York Post.”

 

Christmas trees banned from Climate Summit

They don’t want any sign of Christ in the New World Order: “Participants in the COP15 climate summit should not be subject to Christmas symbols such as fir trees... Although the COP15 climate conference is set to take place during the Christmas season, the Foreign Ministry believes the holiday and all its symbols should be kept well clear of the summit. That point was bluntly illustrated when a sponsorship providing numerous Nordmann fir trees for the conference was rejected by the ministry.”

 

Gay House members say gay-friendly bills coming

 

That’s terrible: “Two of Congress's three openly gay members said Saturday that the U.S. House is poised to pass bills to provide health coverage for the same-sex partners of gay federal workers and to protect all gay and transgender employees from job discrimination.  Speaking to an international conference of gay politicians in San Francisco, U.S. Reps. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Jared Polis, D-Colo., said they expect a domestic partner benefits bill to come up for a vote by the end of the year and the employment bill to reach the floor early in 2010.”

 

Anger as Anglican "Church" elects open lesbian "bishop"

 

“… the Anglican Communion believes in equal opportunities for its heretics. Canon Mary Glasspool, who lives openly as a lesbian, has just been elected as an assistant bishop for the diocese of Los Angeles, meaning that the Episcopal Church of the United States now has coast-to-coast homosexuality in its leadership. It already has a male homosexual as Bishop of New Hampshire. Now all it needs is a transsexual in Louisiana and a bisexual primate in North Dakota and it pretty much has the compass covered for the LGBT "movement".

 

500 claims filed against V-2 NW "Jesuits"

Lesbian awarded custody of woman's only child

 

“A Vermont court ordered a… child taken away from her mother and given to a lesbian ex-partner, setting up, according to a lawyer for the ‘Christian’ family, a dispute that the U.S. Supreme Court likely will have to resolve.  Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, told WND the recent order from the Vermont judge that Lisa Miller turn over her young daughter, Isabella, to the lesbian ex-partner, Janet Jenkins, on New Year's Day is being appealed.”

 

Climate Gate scandal to be "investigated" by Global Warming proponent

“A civil servant who is a member of one of the most vehemently pro man-made global warming advocacy organizations in Europe which also has direct ties to the IPCC has been handed the job of whitewashing the investigation into the University of East Anglia, while absurdly billing himself as impartial and unconnected to climate science.  Meanwhile, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has ludicrously announced that it will conduct its own investigation into the climategate scandal, despite the fact that the suspects involved have intimate ties to the IPCC, with one of the primary scientists accused of manipulating climate data being a lead author of the 1995, 2001, and 2007 IPCC reports.”

 

NATO: Iran is a threat to "whole world"

 

According to them, if you are a potential threat to Israel you are therefore a threat to the whole world: “Senior NATO officials last week called Iran's nuclear and missile programs "a potential threat to the peace and security of the entire world." The comments came in conversations with journalists during the meeting in Brussels last week of foreign ministers of North Atlantic Treaty Organization member states.”

 

Connecticut elementary school bans Christmas

 

"Happy Winter" just doesn't have the same ring as Merry Christmas… but in one Connecticut elementary school, that's about all you'll see and hear this holiday season.  Erik Brown, principal of Walsh Elementary School in Waterbury, Conn., has reportedly banned all religious festivities and many decorations from the classroom since arriving at the school five years ago.”

 

Wisconsin sheriff condemned for inviting "Christian" group

 

“A U.S. Appeals Court says the Milwaukee County sheriff was wrong to invite a ‘Christian’ group to speak at meetings that were mandatory for certain deputies... The judges on Friday discounted arguments that Sheriff David Clarke Jr. had to allow the speakers because he also permitted speakers from black and Latino law-enforcement support groups. The judgment upholds a lower court ruling that awarded the two plaintiffs nearly $39,000 in attorneys' fees.”

 

N.C. couple sentenced in satanism abuse case

 

“A North Carolina couple has been sentenced on misdemeanor charges in a case involving abusing other adults during Satan worship.”

 

Tupac song selected for Vatican playlist

“Music from late rapper Tupac Shakur has been included as part of the Vatican's official MySpace Music playlist.  The seat of the Catholic Church released a list of 12 songs onto the social networking Web site's streaming music service this week when the site launched in the United Kingdom… Lyrics of the song, which is labeled as "explicit," include 'Is life worth living, should I blast myself?" "Give the crack to the kids, who the hell cares, one less hungry mouth on the welfare," and "My stomach hurts, so I'm looking for a purse to snatch."  At another point, Tupac sings: "Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight."

 

New stem cell line approved for federal funding

 

“The Obama administration has begun approving new lines of human embryonic stem cells that are eligible for federally funded experiments, opening the way for millions of taxpayer dollars to be used to conduct research that was put off-limits…”

 

Study shows that Pornography is a "quiet family killer"

 

“A new study on the effects of pornography indicates that it erodes the family, corrupts men’s sense of normal sexuality and is frequently a major factor in most divorces. The author of the study characterized pornography as “a quiet family killer.”

 

Vatican rebukes cardinal for anti-gay talk

The apostate “cardinal” gets a few points for telling some truth about homosexuality.  It’s evil.  God doesn’t create people as homosexuals.  Since it results from sin and apostasy, they can’t enter Heaven as they are.   In typical Vatican II fashion, however, the “cardinal” proceeds to contradict himself.  He goes on to say that “perhaps they aren’t guilty.”  This of course doesn’t make any sense if you accept his previous statements.  What’s most important to note, however, is the fact that the Vatican felt the need to come out and rebuke him for his condemnation of homosexuality and homosexuals.  They never fail to lend their voice in defense of that which is evil and sinful.  At the same time, they don’t offer any public rebuke of prominent pro-abortion figures.

 

“A Roman Catholic Cardinal told homosexuals and transsexuals on Wednesday they would never get into heaven, prompting a rebuke from the Vatican itself.”

 

Benedict XVI thanks Russian schismatics for book

 

“Benedict XVI is expressing gratitude to the Russian Orthodox Church and all those who collaborated in publishing a book with texts from the Pontiff on European culture.”

 

ADL welcomes appointment of State Dep. Envoy on "Anti-Semitism"

 

Even though one religion isn’t supposed to receive special treatment, a special part of our government is dedicated to wiping out “anti-Semitism” and anti-Judaism: “Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today welcomed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's appointment of Hannah Rosenthal to serve as the State Department's Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism.” 

 

L.A. Democrat may become Assembly's first gay speaker

Gay "marriage" likely in Portugal?

 

“The gay community in Portugal is confident that, after much pressure, same-sex ‘marriages’ will be allowed within a matter of months.  While neighbouring Spain permitted gay ‘marriage’ almost five years ago, so far much of Portuguese society has staunchly opposed the concept.”

 

Woman sees face of Jesus on iron?

“Until this week, Mary Jo Coady had never given her iron a second thought. Then she saw a likeness of Jesus staring back from its not-quite stainless steel bottom.  Startled, Coady called in her daughters, both of them college students, and they saw what she saw. Then she took a picture and posted it on her private Facebook page, giving friends and relatives the same test. Everyone saw Jesus, she said.”

 

Sebelius to get unprecedented powers under new plan

 

“That's because Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius would be awarded unprecedented new powers under the proposal, including the authority to decide what medical care should be covered by insurers as well as the terms and conditions of coverage and who should receive it.”

 

Vatican condemns Swiss ban on Muslim minarets

 

This is just incredible!  This is exactly the opposite of what the real popes said.  “Religious leaders across the world have criticised Switzerland's referendum vote to ban the building of minarets.  The Vatican joined Muslim figureheads from Indonesia and Egypt, as well as Switzerland, in denouncing the vote as a blow to religious freedom.”

 

Pope Clement V, Council of Vienne, 1311-1312: “It is an insult to the holy name and a disgrace to the Christian faith that in certain parts of the world subject to Christian princes where Saracens [i.e., the followers of Islam, also called Muslims] live, sometimes apart, sometimes intermingled with Christians, the Saracen priests, commonly called Zabazala, in their temples or mosques, in which the Saracens meet to adore the infidel Mahomet, loudly invoke and extol his name each day at certain hours from a high place… This brings disrepute on our faith and gives great scandal to the faithful.  These practices cannot be tolerated without displeasing the divine majesty.  We therefore, with the sacred council’s approval, strictly forbid such practices henceforth in Christian lands.  We enjoin on Catholic princes, one and all… They are to forbid expressly the public invocation of the sacrilegious name of Mahomet… Those who presume to act otherwise are to be so chastised by the princes for their irreverence, that others may be deterred from such boldness.”

 

Climate Change scientists admit to dumping data

“Scientists at the University of East Anglia have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.  It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.  The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit CRU was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.”

 

English "church" hit by satanic rituals

 

“A vicar has warned… of an increase in "satanic activity" after he found a severed sheep's head mounted on a pole outside a church in his Gloucestershire parish. Nick Bromfield warned that "dark forces" were on the rise in the area and revealed a series of mutilated animal carcasses had been found.  The "offerings" had been ritualistically laid out in circles or around stones in his three Forest of Dean parishes – Drybrook, Lydbrook and Ruardean.”

 

Swiss voters overwhelmingly ban Muslim minarets

“Swiss voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional ban on minarets on Sunday, barring construction of the iconic mosque towers in a surprise vote that put Switzerland at the forefront of a European backlash against a growing Muslim population.”

 

Spain bill to expand abortion moves ahead

School's ban on Silent Night, Christmas songs upheld

 

What an outrage: “The U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday upheld the Maple-South Orange school district's ban on all religious Christmas music including instrumentals, which had been part of the school district Christmas program for years - until one parent complained… In yesterday's ruling the Third Circuit approved the school policy that prohibits Christmas selections such as "Silent Night," "Joy to the World," "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful," and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." However, the Third Circuit approved concert selections of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Frosty the Snowman."

 

Bernanke again threatens country over Fed audit

As a potential audit of the private Federal Reserve moves forward, “Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve mob boss, is running scared. He is deathly afraid an audit of his criminal organization. “These measures are very much out of step with the global consensus on the appropriate role of central banks, and they would seriously impair the prospects for economic and financial stability in the United States,” Bernanke wrote in the CIA’s favorite newspaper, The Washington Post.”

 

Vatican official notes “lesson” to learn from Muslims

 

The apostasy of the Vatican II sect: “Catholics can learn something from Muslims, the Vatican's official for interreligious dialogue has affirmed during his visit to Indonesia.  Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran said this Wednesday in reference to what he called the "very strong spirituality" of Muslims.  "They wake up early in the morning to pray," he said, as reported by UCA News. "Our young priests should follow this example… waking up early in the morning to pray to start their daily activities." 

 

Pope Callixtus III: “I vow to… exalt the true Faith, and to extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet [Islam] in the East.”

 

3,000 “behavior detection” officers will be watching you at airport

 

“Nearly 100,000 passengers were pulled aside by TSA behavior watchers last year… For the past few years, airports across the country have been using what many call "behavioral surveillance" to weed out potential hijackers among us, by covertly examining travelers' facial expressions and body language as they go through security. Unlike those airport employees who herd us along as we remove our shoes and relinquish all liquids over three ounces (with dubious results), this new program, named "Screening Passengers by Observational Techniques," or "SPOT," is carried out by TSA employees who have been trained to monitor travelers' faces and movements. As Americans head out of town this holiday season, more than 3,000 "Behavior Detection Officers" will be at 161 airports nationwide, watching our every move.”

 

San Jose is the V-2 sect's most "gay friendly" diocese

When one considers the Vatican II “Church,” that’s saying quite a bit.  This is a sick alien apostate religion: “A bearded priest in bright-green vestments lifts a rainbow-adorned chalice as he delivers the Eucharistic Prayer, consecrating the bread and wine for the sacrament of Communion. Surrounding him, a dozen people link hands around an altar inside a tiny, dimly lit chapel at St. Martin of Tours Catholic Parish in San Jose…. This is the Emmaus Mass, the only bishop-sanctioned gathering for gay and lesbian Catholics in the Diocese of San Jose.”

 

Arizona town discriminates against church signs

 

"In this particular case, Gilbert allows signs to be up for extraordinary lengths of time, including political signs, up for years at a time," the attorney explains. "Yet if a church puts up a sign for its Sunday service, it's only allowed up the night before the service," he adds, noting that it must be taken down immediately after the service is over.  Cortman contends the 12-hour window is not a reasonable amount of time allotted for churches to exhibit their free-speech rights, especially "since it's dark before they're allowed to put up their signs in the first place."
 
“The town agreed in 2007 to an injunction prohibiting it from enforcing the sign code against the church. The disallowed code required church signs to be smaller in size, fewer in number, and displayed for a shorter amount of time than signs of non-religious nature. Despite that, an amended code that followed the injunction still discriminated against the church.”

 

V-2 "Christian" brothers pay out $242 million to victims

 

“Ireland’s Christian Brothers will pay 161 million euros ($242 million) in compensation to child abuse victims in the wake of a report that led to a public outcry about abuse by religious orders in church and state-run institutions.”

 

Gay "marriage" stalls in N.J., N.Y.

 

“The state-to-state attempt to legalize gay ‘marriage’ across the left-leaning Northeast has lost more momentum since a setback three weeks ago at the ballot box in Maine.  Since then, legislatures in New York and New Jersey have declined to schedule long-expected votes on bills to recognize the unions in those states.  "If they are unable to pass gay marriage in New York and New Jersey, combined with the loss in Maine, it will confirm that gay ‘marriage’ is not the inevitable wave of the future," said Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, which mobilizes social conservatives to fight against same-sex ‘marriage.’”

 

China house church leaders sentenced

 

Of course we don’t endorse these heretical churches, but this is what goes on in Communist China:  “A court in northern China has sentenced five leaders of an unauthorized Protestant church to prison terms of up to seven years on charges including illegal assembly, rights groups reported Thursday. The sentences are among the harshest in recent years for members of so-called "house churches" — congregations that refuse to register and accept the authority of the government's Religious Affairs Bureau.  Arrests stemmed from a Sept. 13 raid by police and hired security guards on sunrise services held in a dormitory building by the 50,000-member Linfen Fushan Church in Linfen, northern Shanxi province.”

 

Australia accepts gay "ceremonies"

 

“The Federal Government has agreed to allow gay couples in the ACT to hold legally binding civil partnership ceremonies.  The ACT Legislative Assembly passed a Greens bill earlier this month allowing same-sex couples to recognise their relationships with a legally binding ceremony.”

Formal Catholic vs. Protestant Debates [link to section]

 

New U.K. bill requires homeschooled children to be registered with authorities

 

The British government announced last week their acceptance of the Badman Review of home education and introduced the new Children, Schools and Families Bill that will require home educated children to be registered with the local authorities.  Homeschooling families were furious at the review's results and say the new bill will mean the effective end of the rights of the family in education. The bill will follow recommendations that homeschooling families be subjected to spot-checks by local authorities, and that authorities can interview homeschooled children without the presence of their parents.”

 

Calif. college sued over prayer at school events

Irish V-2 Church guilty of massive abuse cover-up

“A damning report into child abuse in the Dublin archdiocese has criticised the Catholic Church hierarchy for covering up the abuse.  The report investigated how Church and state authorities handled allegations of child abuse against 46 priests.  It found that the Church placed its own reputation above the protection of children in its care… The "Report of the Commission of Investigation into the Archdiocese of Dublin" covered a period from 1975 to 2004… the report concluded that four archbishops routinely protected abusers and failed to inform police of the allegations.  One priest admitted to sexually abusing over 100 children, while another confessed that he had abused on a fortnightly basis over 25 years.  "The volume of revelations of child sexual abuse by clergy over the past 35 years or so has been described by a Church source as a 'tsunami' of sexual abuse," said the report.”
