Contraception: Destroying The Church, Fattening Wallets Of CRS Leaders

In last week's Mic'd Up, Michael Voris and Michael Hichborn discuss the seminal role that contraception played in the inception of the Culture of Death in western civilization.  They segue into a discussion of the role of Catholic Relief Services' role in distributing that moral poison, with an enlightening "aside" about the gargantuan salaries that CRS leaders drew.  They, along with Rey Flores, delve into a discussion of contraception's role in the general implosion of the Church.  It's an hour long but well worth your time to watch.

Vortex - Last Installment Of The Sixty Issues The Church Leadership Refuses To Address

In light of the travesty that will occur in the Vatican Gardens (or maybe has occurred, depending on when you see this), pay special attention to #51: "lack of precision regarding Islam worshiping of 'the same God'".  This one is very appropriate today and needs to be taken most seriously.

Reparation Needed For Idolatry That Will Occur At Vatican Gardens On Pentecost Sunday

Let us speak plainly, shall we?  This supposed "prayer for peace" is an occasion for several serious sins.  "But it's for peace", some might whine?  What difference does that make?  The ends never justify means that are inherently evil.  Moreover, no real peace can occur when false idols (namely "allah") will be worshiped.

So right there we have a sin against the First Commandment.  The fact that it's to occur on Catholic grounds lends the aura of sacrilege to it.  Here's an article from Catholic Encyclopedia; pay attention to the section on "local sacrilege".

Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Catholics, reparation is needed.  Start now.  Today is First Saturday; if there's still time, make your confession and Mass and pray your Rosary, per the requests of Our Lady of Fatima.

Please pray tomorrow for forgiveness for what will happen on Pentecost Sunday.

UPDATE: I just read in Creative Minority Report that this is part of the Islamic screed prayer that will be uttered:   "...O You who know the unknown and the manifest, O Lord of everything and its sovereign, we testify that there is no god but You alone ..."  As the CMR commenter noted, this prayer is an outright contradiction of the truth that Jesus Christ is a Divine Person and the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.  And this is occurring on consecrated Catholic grounds???

Pope To Allow Islamic Prayer At Vatican This Sunday

This Sunday, June 8, Pope Francis will allow Islamic "prayer" and reading of Quarn at the Vatican Gardens.  He is allowing it (if he didn't outright initiate it) in a misguided quest for "peace".  It is the first time in the history of the Vatican that this has ever been done.  See here, here, here and here.

So it's never been done before?  Has it occurred to His Holiness and his handlers it has never happened before for good reason?   Let's be real.  The only way real, lasting peace has any chance of occurring is if the world (or the great majority of folks) becomes Catholic.  There never will be peace in the world until all come to peace with God; that won't happen without coming to Jesus through His Church.  I know this sounds "intolerant" and it certainly isn't politically correct, but only the truth will set us free.

Instead of the pure proclamation of the Gospel, however, the sacred Vatican grounds will be profaned by unabashed exercises of idolatry.  What a way to make a mockery of the Solemnity of Pentecost.  I'm utterly aghast at the rank stupidity issuing forth from the Vatican these days - and the buck stops with the Holy Father.  Let us pray for a real outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our shepherds so that they proclaim the Gospel and make no allowance for error - especially on Catholic property.

Some Reasons Why Parishes Are Closing Right And Left

More Issues That The Mainstream Catholic Media Won't Touch

Today's Vortex lists the next 12 of the 60 issues that scare the heebie-jeebies out of the lame-brain Catholic media (that means you, Catholic Standard!).  Listen very carefully as Voris demolishes the canard, "you get more flies with honey than vinegar".

Why Controversy Is Essential In This Day And Age

As Michael Voris points out, controversy arises when problems are unsolved.  I might add that its existence is inevitable whenever truth and falsehood meet.  Because there never will be a compromise between truth and falsehood (for such compromise would be its own falsehood), division and controversy must exist.   Yes, it exists among Catholics; I just had my second "unfriending" in Facebook with someone who admitted that she was looking for an excuse to block me.  The cost of adhering to the truth will certainly become much more significant that a mere "unfriending" on a social site. We'd better grow thick skins and stare down the controversy.  We must not fear to be controversial, for Jesus Christ Himself and the martyrs were murdered because they stood for truth and were "controversial".  We are not excused from the obligation of paying that cost.

Pope Francis: Reject "Culture Of Comfort", Bring Forth Children

As I read his comments today, I was wondering if His Holiness ever took walks in the Woodside area of Silver Spring MD.  (It's the area that's bordered by Spring Street - and Planned Parenthood - to the south).  As we pray and offer Christian witness to those about to go into Planned Parenthood, neighborhood denizens stroll by to thank the clinic escorts for blocking our approach to women.  More often than not, these supporters of baby-murder are walking their dogs!  Rare are the kids that accompany such parents.

(Now that I've said this on the blog, the pro-aborts will trot some babies out just to show us up.  They do read this blog, but I digress).

I would suggest that they - and others - take the Holy Father's words to heart.  Marriage is ordered for the procreation and education of children.  The deliberate frustration of that Divinely-ordained purpose will redound to the harm of all.

From Niggers Of The New Age Department: Five Stages Of Religious Persecution

A planned persecution is upon us as faithful Christians.  The Obamacare mandate is only one blatant example, and a recent one at that.  In fact, we've been in the crosshairs of progressives for some time now.  With their puppet running the White House, they probably feel they can be a bit bolder.

One person who saw the looming clouds gathering and who tried to warn us is Saint John Paul II.  Father C. John McCloskey quotes the sainted Holy Father and offers commentary.  Another is Msgr Charles Pope on his blog that is hosted by the Archdiocese of Washington.  The post is rather old but clearly folks could see the writing on the wall.  He lists five stages of religious persecution; anyone who has been watching current events over the years knows that we're now "in the end game", as it were.

I don't know if western civilization will survive this onslaught.  I know it can't if people insist on drowning themselves in entertainment, creature comforts and even hedonistic lives of sin.  We need to repent and wake up now, so that we can pray and act appropriately.

Knife Control! We Just Knew It Would Come To This!

It is illegal for British citizens to keep guns in their homes.  However, murders still continue there!  Fancy that!  You don't suppose sinful human nature has anything to do with that, do you - not to mention the liberal loopy law enforcement?  Nah?  Perish the thought!

Some dopes doctors who write for the British Medical Journal are saying that long knives should be banned.  We're talking kitchen knives, folks!  "Long pointed knives have little value in the kitchen."  Really?  How do they propose that roasts or other meat dishes be sliced?  And what makes these geniuses so convinced that will work?  Wasn't the banning of guns supposed to eliminate murder?  If knives are banned, the thugs will devise something else.

Hey!  Here's a radical idea!  How about jettisoning the knife ban AND the gun ban.  Bring back real punishments that fit the crimes.

This knife-ban nonsense is just another example of the loons running the asylum in England.  I'd suggest that our confreres "across the pond" wake up and start taking their country back while we strive to take ours back.
