Psycho-Babble at Franciscan Monastery

It seems that the Franciscan Monastery is allowing New Age "counselors" onto its grounds.  Click to get a full description of the Ursuline Counseling and Psychological Services.   You'll see the usual new age fads listed as psychological aids: Jungian analysis, "transformational breath work", and of course, reiki.  The bishops have released statements stating why reiki is unacceptable and even dangerous.

Nowhere will you see listed "Confession", "repentance", "Sacrament of reconciliation".  That's because they're to...to... well, you know...Catholic!   Horrors!  We can't have those on the monastery grounds now, can we??  Also notice that there are no men on this counseling team.  Don't you find that to be rather sexist?  Oh, wait!  I forgot!  Only white males can be sexist - and no one else!  Silly me!

Now perhaps there's an upside to all of this!  Maybe Chris Matthews can visit these lovely counselors and they can do some Jungian analysis and guide him through "transformational breath work" to help keep him from going catatonic, as he did during his abuse of Bishop Tobin.

Blasphemous Hyundai Advertisement

Watch the clip below of a Hyundai ad that mocks the Eucharist and Holy Mass.



I just emailed Hyundai to advise them that I would not buy their vehicles and that I'd advise all whom I could reach that they may wish to do likewise.  Click here to send your message.  Here is what I wrote to them:

"As a Roman Catholic who takes my God and my Church seriously, I am disgusted by your advertisement that blasphemed our Holy Mass and Holy Communion. Please be advised that I will never consider a Hyundai in any future vehicle purchase decisions. No organization that mocks Jesus Christ is worthy of my money. I will utilize my own blog to advise others to likewise boycott your products."

More on the Matthews Situation

First, I want to correct a "typo" in the previous post.  I erroneously stated the monastery address to be "14 Quincy Street NE".  The street number is really "1400".  I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my error.

Many of you have written to the Franciscan Monastery and to the Catholic Networkof Volunteer Service, as have I. Some have sent to me copies of what a Friar named Brother John Sebastian sent to them. Since they are similar in nature, they cannot be held to be exclusive communications.

An early reply was, "Hmm, Ive not heard all this however I know that he has spoken at many a Catholic organization this year with Bishops & Cardinals Present. " Sadly, it's true that Matthews has spoken with bishops and cardinals in his audience; I don't know whether or not such has happened since his tirade against Bishop Tobin. However, I find it incredible that Brother Sebastian did not know of this June 24th event. I trust it merely means that the right hand and left hand don't communicate at the Monastery, but even so, such lack of knowledge boggles the mind. Most people who read the Catholic Standard saw the announcement in the June 10th issue - and yet Brother Sebastian was ignorant? Moreover, many of us emailed the link to the announcement that was on the "Volunteer" website.

Here We Go Again!

A week has not elapsed since Sister Carol Keehan was permitted by the Jesuits to befoul a Catholic high school graduation, and now we have word of another unsavory character that is slated to speak at a Catholic function.

Two weeks from today, on June 24th, from 7:00pm-9:00pm, the Catholic Network of Volunteer Service is conducting an awards ceremony at the Franciscan Monastery, located at 14 Quincy Street, NE in Washington DC.  The guest speaker is Chris Matthews, host of Hardball.  Matthews is pro-abortion, and has no patience for those who insist that Catholics behave as such in the public square.

For instance, you might recall how Patrick Kennedy was railing against the Church for stating that he does not call the shots when it comes to determining Catholic morality.  Kennedy's bishop, Thomas Tobin of Rhode Island, took Kennedy to task - and aroused Matthew's ire.  Observe.  (Click here if you can't see embedded videos)



Now that we've all been sufficiently charmed by Matthews' oratorial/conversational style and his utter disregard for bishops who act like shepherds instead of fund-raising politicians, we can all see that Chris Matthews does not deserve a Catholic forum to cloak his dissent.

On other occasions, Matthews has labeled pro-life opponents of Kathleen Sebelius as "terrorists".   Read of the concerns of others over his pro-abortion advocacy and for a montage of pro-abortion quotes.

Please contact both the Catholic Network of Volunteer Service and the Franciscan Monastery.  Remind them that the presence of one who publicly favors abortion and who mocks bishops for acting like bishops is a disservice and insult to those who selflessly engage in Catholic volunteer efforts.  If you do so via email, send them the link to the youtube video above, and the links to the other articles, so that they can see for themselves just what they might inflict upon their guests should they not cancel his appearance.

Additionally, please spread word of this and ask your acquaintences to join us.

"Should This Be the Last Generation?"

That is a serious question posed by atheistic "philosopher" Pete Singer of Princeton University.  He is apparently mulling over the work of fellow atheist David Benatar.  Both men (in differing degrees) opine that the pain of human existence is evil.

In my opnion, if one holds to the erroneous belief that there is no God and that there is no eternity, then the beliefs of these two men are actually quite logical and consistent.  Did not even Paul attest to that logic in 1 Corinthians 15, when he states that if there is no resurrection, then "eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die"?

Those of us who grapple with the Culture of Death (e.g., those of us in front of abortuaries) would do well to consider this mental paradigm that is foundational to the thinking of our opponents.  While they still have that God-shaped restlessness in their hearts (of which St Augustine wrote), they are becoming increasingly oblivious to it and unable to recognize it. 

From Father Euteneuer

WARNING!  POLITICS AND RELIGION INTERMIXED IN THIS POST!

Since some readers (particularly some recent high school graduates) seem to have strokes when political opinions are mentioned on this blog, I believe it to be only charitable to post the above warning, so that the lily-livered may move onto something else, for this is a kinder, gentler blog - and we are an Easter People!

Father Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, addressed this public letter to the Messiah Most Miserable.  It is entitled, "We Don't Believe You, Mr President".

I can add only one word to that - AMEN!

Listen to Dennis Prager

To reiterate - these coming November elections are critical.  We must elect candidates who are proponents of our Judeo-Christian heritage, smaller government, personal responsibility.  And to the little boys of Gonzaga (and any others) who snivvel about "politics being mixed with religion on your blog" or other such tripe, I have only this to say:

PHTPTHPPPHTH!

Obama, Health Care, and the "Negro Project"

Those of us old enough to remember will recall that the "Negro Project" was a scheme devised by Margaret Sanger to eliminate the black population.



40% of abortions committed in this country are done on black women.  Yet blacks comprise only 13% of the total population.  From my own experience in being in front of abortion death-mills, I can attest that these hell-houses are located primarily in minority neighborhoods.

DC Prolifers Protest Gonzaga Abomination

As mentioned in previous posts, Sister Carol Keehan was slated to give today's commencement address to the 2010 graduating class of Gonzaga High in Washington DC today.  Despite our protests and pleadings, the administration of Gonzaga (Jesuits, of course!) remained obdurate.  Sister Carol Keehan did befoul the commencement with her address - however, we made very certain the truth was heard, if not embraced.  Read more - it's a long read, but well worth it.  Please click the appropriate link.
