NO-TO-POPE GROUP TO MARCH AGAINST "HOMOPHOBIC" AND "ANTIQUATED IDEAS"

pope-brazil-cp-2935440
There seems to be a lot of "NO-TO-POPE" folks in the news this week--but this particular group feigns no unity whatsoever, and has made it their mission to get 15,000 people to participate in a protest march against the pontiff's 'homophobic and antiquated ideas' during World Youth Day in Sydney. But let's praise God that the Pope and the Church are detested on all sides because--"Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!

From
couriermail: "As Pope Benedict XVI prepares to visit Sydney to address pilgrims at Sydney's Randwick Racecourse on July 19 - a key event of World Youth Day - protesters are planning a separate protest march.

They will also distribute condoms to Catholic youths."

"We think the Catholic youth will be very interested in what we have to say."

"Ms Evans said the protest would be peaceful and no one would be forced to take the condoms.

"It will be a very fun event with a lot of performances," she said."

U.K. DOCTORS COULD LOSE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE ON ABORTION

image_thumb[3]
For Christians living in a post-modern secular regime, liberty is quickly eroding. In fact there is not even a pretense to protect religious expression or freedom of conscience. Religion must now be suppressed so that sin may become easy, convenient and guilt free--especially when it comes to deviant sex and killing off one's own offspring.

From mailonline: "Doctors could lose their right to refuse to arrange abortions under proposals to be debated next month.

They would be compelled to send any woman requesting the procedure to an abortion clinic.

The growing number of doctors who have moral objections to abortion - 25 per cent refuse to sign consent forms for it - are furious with the proposal.

Some are considering legal action if, as expected, the move is ratified by the British Medical Association's policy-making body in July.

Roman Catholic doctors are particularly opposed to the move, saying it will make them complicit in something they believe is evil, but doctors of other faiths and no faith have also condemned it.

Dr Tony Cole, of the Catholic Medical Association, said: 'This would spell the death of

HOW CONTRACEPTING HETEROSEXUALS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR "GAY" MARRIAGE

marriage
As a culture we have lost our bearings to such an extent that we are stymied and stammer for reasons to condemn homosexual "marriage" and defend traditional marriage. Why this confusion and silence? Because our acceptance of contraception has destroyed the purpose of marriage and has thereby rendered contracepting heterosexual sex equivalent to homosexual sex-- since they both defy natural law and are fruitless.

According to God's law and the natural law--
PROCREATION IS THE PRIMARY END OF MARRIAGE. In a culture that esteems and promotes the unbridled exaltation of sex, this notion is more shocking to the modern mind than child pornography. But with the loss of fruitless marital sex as the norm we have lost traditional marriage.

The traditional view of marriage has been mocked, chided and rejected by so many it has transformed the very idea of marriage into nothing more than an antiquated and unfortunate monogamous commitment where it is incumbent upon each spouse to engage in fruitless sex i.e., mutual masturbation, for the sole purpose of igniting the insatiable and ever consuming passions of the flesh. But when sex becomes routine and loses its variety, the so-called marriage dies also.

According to the Catholic church, heterosexuals, who plan from the outset of their marriage to frustrate the procreation of children, are never validly married since they are denying an essential property of marriage. Homosexual sex, by nature, renders one incapable of procreation and thereby incapable of a valid marriage to a member of the same sex. Nevertheless, the State in the name of "human dignity" has permitted a sham, because
"there can be no true promotion of man's dignity unless the essential order of human nature is respected". Persona Humana, CDF.

As a culture, we wonder why we are all fat when we engage in constant gluttony. We wonder why we are divorced and unhappy when we selfishly seek constant genital gratification while excluding God's natural designs. Finally, we wonder why homosexual "marriage" has snuck up on us when our sex lives have become fruitless-- just like homosexuality. Fruitless sex that excludes God's plan of creation for man is a roadmap for the acceptance of

MUSLIM TEEN WHO BRUTALLY ATTACKED AN ANGLICAN PRIEST WALKS FREE

radicalmosque
A Muslim teen who took part in a vicious gang attack on an Anglican clergyman has walked free. This not only demonstrates the absolute futility of hate crime laws, but also the bias against Christians when victimized by muslims in Britain.



From
Newham Recorder: "Babul Islam, 19, was one of three "Asian" youths who attacked Canon Michael Ainsworth in his churchyard at St George-in-the-East Church in Shadwell.



Father-of-four Mr Ainsworth, 57, spent 12 days in hospital after he was kicked and punched in the head in what was described at the time as a "faith-hate" attack on March 5 this year.



It was claimed one of the yobs shouted "f***ing priest" during the attack which only stopped

THE GREATEST CATHOLIC PRESIDENT

92097A
What follows is an article by Frank M. Rega S.F.O., the author of St Francis of Assisi and the Conversion of the Muslims. This is an excellent, well-researched fascinating story of a very holy man, Gabriel Garcia Moreno--the greatest Catholic president.

"Few Catholics today know the story of Gabriel Garcia Moreno. This devout and holy man, blessed with a keen intellect and noble character, briefly reestablished the shining light of Christendom in a small corner of the New World during the nineteenth century. His contemporary, one Charles Darwin, had been at work in some islands in that same area of the globe, known as Ecuador, developing his false theory of species evolution that would become the philosophical bulwark of the godless societies of the future. In the meantime in the Old World, another contemporary, Blessed Pope Pius IX, was suffering through the forced seizure of the Papal territories, during the creation of a unified Italy.

"Garcia Moreno’s role in Catholic history is so significant that the Blessed Virgin Mary foretold his coming more than two centuries before his 1821 birth. During the Church-approved apparitions of Our Lady of Good Success, an unusually specific prophecy was given to a holy Conceptionist nun in Quito, Ecuador, on January 16, 1599. On that date, Our Lady revealed to Venerable Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres details of the life of a future president of the Republic of Ecuador – a country which did not even exist at the time. Our Lady of Good Success, whom the Archdiocese with the permission of Rome would crown Queen of Quito, spoke the following oracle:

“In the nineteenth century a truly Christian president will come, a man of character whom God our Lord will give the palm of martyrdom on the square adjoining this Convent of mine. He will consecrate the Republic to the Sacred...

FATHER'S DAY BANNED IN SCOTTISH SCHOOLS

Forgotten Grave Stones
"The family may be regarded as the cradle of civil society, and it is in great measure within the circle of family life that the destiny of states is fostered." Pope Leo XIII Sapientiae Christianae (Jan 10, 1890).

One need not be a prophet to see where the destruction of the traditional family will lead--especially when nations hasten its demise with the false charity of political correctness.


From
Telegraph: "Thousands of primary pupils were prevented from making Father's Day cards at school for fear of embarrassing classmates who live with single mothers and lesbians.

The politically correct policy was quietly adopted at schools "in the interests of sensitivity" over the growing number of lone-parent and same-sex households.

It only emerged after a large number of

VANCOUVER: PARENTS CANNOT REMOVE CHILDREN FROM PRO-HOMOSEXUAL CLASSES

PictSimonHelpJesus
We have come to a place in our history where our faith is being tested like that of the early Christians. We can choose the broad road and send our children off to be corrupted by the sodomy-promoting wolves. Or the narrow road which is very difficult and will bring about a "white martyrdom". Although difficult the reward for taking up our cross and following Jesus will begin in this life --we will have peace of soul.

Excerpt from the Vancouver Sun: "The Vancouver board of education says it plans to enforce a ministry policy that prevents parents from pulling students out of classes that deal with alternative sexuality.

"A recent staff recommendation from the Vancouver board of education says parents can pull their children out of sensitive lessons in health classes because of religious or family beliefs,
but can't opt their children out of gay-friendly lessons in any other classes."

"The ministry guidelines stem from a contract the government signed with gay activists Murray and Peter Corren. The couple launched a human-rights case against the government, which ended the lawsuit by signing an agreement to add teachings about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered issues to the provincial curriculum."

THE LISBON TREATY IS VERY MUCH ALIVE: TIME TO ADOPT A NATION

eun!naz1
The Irish victory over the Lisbon Treaty is looking more shallow everyday due to the EU's dictatorial attempt to negate its impact.

The
Telegraph reports:

"European Union leaders and senior officials were today lavishing praise on Gordon Brown for keeping the Lisbon Treaty "very much alive" by ignoring Ireland's No vote to complete British ratification.

The Prime Minister has been held up as an EU role model after his refusal to suspend Parliament's approval of the Treaty after last week's Irish referendum rejection.

HAVE THE GATES OF HELL PREVAILED AGAINST THE PROTESTANT EXPERIMENT?

sodom+and+gomorrah
The Protestant revolt against the Church was intended to reform and purify Christianity. However, from the recent marriage of two practicing homosexual Anglican priests, to the German Lutherans who are prepared to elect their first openly homosexual bishop--it has become clear that the Reformation has not only failed to purify Christianity, but has corrupted it so far that homosexuality is fast becoming a virtuous state of life in many protestant denominations.

A recent letter from Rt Rev Richard Chartres to Rev Martin Dudley who married the Anglican homosexual priests, reveals the extent that error is tolerated in the Church of England:
"There is of course a range of opinion on [homosexual practice] in the Church and, as you know, homophobia is not tolerated in the Diocese of London...The Archbishops have already issued a statement in which they say that “those clergy who disagree with the Church’s teaching are at liberty to seek to persuade others within the Church of the reasons why they believe, in the light of Scripture, tradition and reason that it should be changed."

The illogic of this position is beyond belief. It is a recipe for chaos and division which is the signature of Satan. But such a position is natural considering Martin Luther himself, paved the way for such error to take hold. What follows are excerpts of Luther's writing as compared to the Biblical Word of God.

On Sin

Christ: "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication . . . murder . . . and suchlike. And concerning these I warn you, they who do such things will not attain the Kingdom of God" (Galatians 5:19-21).

TWO DEAD MEN WALKING

7900619_176fa45660
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and journalist and recent Catholic convert Magdi Allam, are the targets of new death threats on Islamist websites.
Excerpt from Adnkronos: "Previous threats to the Italian premier were made in Arabic but Tuesday's internet message was for the first time posted completely in Italian with the title, 'Berlusconi and Magdi Allam'.

"They are two dead men walking.. just like Falcone .." an apparent reference to the anti-Mafia judge, Giovanni Falcone, who prosecuted the Sicilian Cosa Nostra. He and his wife were assassinated in a bombing in 1992.

"A coded message? Perhaps!" says the internet message.

The latest death threats, posted directly in Italian, are different to those that targeted Berlusconi in the past when they were posted only in Arabic."

It is not the first time that Berlusconi and Magdi Allam have been targeted by threats. They have been among the preferred targets of the users of such sites."

WHY MUSLIMS SHOULD FEAR POPE BENEDICT XVI

us_pope_muslim-1
**Please note: Earlier today I inadvertently published something that was still in edit mode --I apologize for this error.

For all that lament the de-christianization of the West and Islamization of Europe,
Spengler of the Asia Times foresees a resurgence in Christianity that could threaten the predicted proliferation of islam throughout Europe.

Excerpts from Asia Times: "Benedict XVI may preach against violence, but in his own fashion he takes a tougher stance than the American president. That surely is not the way it looks at first glance. Bush invaded an Arab country, while Benedict preaches reason to the Muslim world, receiving in the past few months Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah as well as delegations from Iran. He has agreed to a meeting with a group of 138 Muslim scholars at the Vatican in November. Why should Muslims fear Benedict?

"For the first time, perhaps, since the time of Mohammed, large parts of the Islamic world are vulnerable to Christian efforts to convert them, for
tens of millions of Muslims now dwell as minorities in predominantly Christian countries. The Muslim migration to Europe is a double-edged sword. Eventually this migration may lead to a Muslim Europe, but it also puts large numbers of Muslims within reach Read More...

ENGLAND AND WALES: THE LATIN MASS IN EVERY PARISH

6a00d834515d1e69e200e54f83d0f18834-800wi
Cardinal Castrillion Hoyos, the senior Vatican cardinal in charge of liturgy, said at a press conference in London today that the Latin Mass will not only return to England and Wales, but will be re-introduced into every single parish in order to educate Catholics in the treasure of the "Gregorian Rite" Latin Mass. Such an act by the Church would go farther to restore western civilization than any legislation or act of parliament ever could.

Excerpts from
Telegraph: "Asked whether the Latin Mass would be celebrated in many ordinary parishes in future, Cardinal Castrillon said: “Not many parishes – all parishes. The Holy Father is offering this not only for the few groups who demand it, but so that everybody knows this way of celebrating the Eucharist.”

"The Cardinal, who heads the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, made his comments as he was preparing to celebrate a traditional Latin Mass at Westminster Cathedral yesterday, the first time a cardinal has done so there for 40 years.

Cardinal Castrillon said that the reverent silence of the traditional rite was one of the

GEORGE BUSH MIGHT BECOME A CATHOLIC

I know this will shock a lot of people. No matter what your opinion of his policies--please pray for him to make the leap and come home.

Excerpts from
