Softening up the sheep for slaughter

The Eponymous Flower is reporting a story from La Croix that the Bishops of the world should prepare the faithful to receive the Bishop of Rome's Apostolic Exhortation on the last two Synods.

There can be only one of two reasons.

Either this is a Humanae Vitae moment that will reveal no changes and that people must be prepared to be disappointed.

Or:

All hell will break loose because as Tom Rosica would often say, "Doctrine change when pastoral contexts shift and new insights emerge."

So, nothing else will be said by this writer on this whole sordid mess until after next Friday when I manage to get through the most relevant of the 200 pages. I thought these modernists cared about the trees in our common home?

Hypocrites and liars, all of them.

They will have their reward.

Count on it.

LifeSiteNews Funding Appeal

Many of us depend on LifeSiteNews for their reporting. Let's support this great work.

Vox


Dear Friends of Life and Family,

This is an urgent message. With only 3 days remaining in our Spring campaign, we still have $113,000 - or 57% of our absolute minimum goal - left to raise!

That’s a really big leap to make in such a short time. Therefore, I must ask you to please stop everything, right now, and make a donation of whatever amount you can afford to support this unique work for life and family. 

I simply cannot overemphasize how important your donation, no matter how large or small, is to the continued existence of LifeSite and our impact on the culture.

For 19 years now, we have relied almost exclusively on the donations of our growing army of everyday readers like you: readers who are tired of the anti-life and anti-family bias of the mainstream media, and who are looking for a different kind of news agency - one that fearlessly speaks the truth about the most important issues facing our world.

And while we may not have Hollywood celebrities supporting our mission, or reap millions in government grants - with God on our side, and the faithful support of so many dedicated pro-life and pro-family warriors like you:

We will continue to speak out boldly and fearlessly, unapologetically standing up in defense of the unborn, the family, faith, traditional morality, and freedom!

In these final, anxious days of our quarterly campaigns, our team here at LifeSite is always tempted to become anxious, imagining what will happen if we don’t reach our goal.

In these moments, however, we instead turn to prayer, remembering that God in his providence has never yet let us down.

Every morning during our staff prayer call, we pray that God’s will be done for LifeSite during the campaign. We pray for you, our faithful donors on those calls. And with God’s ever-faithful help we have always been given precisely what we need to carry on! 
You can make an online donation right now by clicking here! We thank you for your support. And, don’t forget you can also donate by phone or mail. We love to hear from our readers!

God bless,

Fr. Tom Uzhunnalil - no evidence he has been murdered

Notwithstanding media and blog reports, there is no official confirmation of the murder of Father Tom Uzhunnalil. All we have is an alleged statement by Cardinal Schoenborn. There is no video or recording of him saying it, and if he did, this writer would not believe anything out of the mouth of Schoenborn even if he said the sky was blue.

If Father was murdered - crucified, then the news should be coming to us from his Order, the Salesians, or his family.

Continue to pray that God will soften the hearts of the Muslims who hold him prisoner.

St. John Bosco, intercede for Father Uzhunnalil.


Several blogs and media outlets are reporting that Fr. Tom Uzhunnalil was crucified by ISIS on Good Friday.

There has been no confirmation of the event by friends, family or Fr. Uzhunnalil’s community. The original reports were based on a statement Austrian Cardinal Christoph Schönborn of Vienna allegedly made during Easter vigil services.
Bishop Paul Hinder of Southern Arabia (a region in Saudi Arabia, the country just north of Yemen where Fr. Uzhunnalil was kidnapped), told CNA on Monday that he has “strong indications that Fr. Tom is still alive in the hands of the kidnappers,” but could not give further information in order to protect the life of the priest. Bishop Hinder added that Cardinal Schönborn has since corrected his alleged statement, which was made on the basis of an incorrect statement from Archbishop Moras in Bangalore.
“Cardinal Schönborn has already corrected his statement which he had made on the basis of the wrong statement of Archbishop Moras in Bangalore. Certain media in India are too nervous and curious and not aware that they are playing with the life of Fr. Tom. I cannot say more for the reason I gave in my first sentence (to protect the life of Fr. Tom),” Bishop Hinder told CNA.
Rumors of a possible impending crucifixion spread last week on the basis of an unconfirmed e-mail and were dismissed by Fr. Uzhunnalil’s Salesian community as hearsay.
“We have absolutely no information” on Fr. Uzhunnalil, said Father Mathew Valarkot, spokesman for the Salesians’ Bangalore province to which the kidnapped priest belongs. His comments were reported last week by both by ANS news, a Salesian news agency, and UCA News, an independent Catholic news source in Asia.
Correction (3/28 11:02 a.m.): A previous version of this story said Bishop Hinder was from Southern Arabia, the country just north of Yemen where Fr. Tom was kidnapped. Southern Arabia is a region in Saudi Arabia, the country just north of Yemen. The story has been changed to reflect this correction.

Mother Angelica! Requiescat in pace.

If she didn't make it, there is no hope for any of us.

God rest your magnificent soul Mother. You have gone to meet the Love of your life.

She had more courage, faith and lion-hearted spirit than mostly every North American bishop!

Thank you for everything.


Pray for us!

Wa Habibi


My beloved, my beloved
What state are you in?
He who sees you, for you would cry
You are the one and only sacrifice

My beloved,
What blame have the nations put upon you?
They melted you with wounds,
To which no healing would do

When in the dark orchard at night
The God Creater kneeled and prayed
Life was praying with the One
Who gave life hope and prayer

The olive trees are crying
As the lips of men quiver
My beloved how will you go?
Has loyalty gone forever?

My beloved, my beloved
What state are you in?
He who sees you, for you would cry
You are the one and only sacrifice

Good Friday 2016: Oh my people, what have I done to you? How have have I offended you? Answer me!


Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? And he shall grow up as a tender plant before him, and as a root out of a thirsty ground: there is no beauty in him, nor comeliness: and we have seen him, and there was no sightliness, that we should be desirous of him: Despised, and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with infirmity: and his look was as it were hidden and despised, whereupon we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows: and we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was offered because it was his own will, and he opened not his mouth: he shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a lamb before his shearer, and he shall not open his mouth. He was taken away from distress, and from judgment: who shall declare his generation? because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him. And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he hath done no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth. And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand. Because his soul hath laboured, he shall see and be filled: by his knowledge shall this my just servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I distribute to him very many, and he shall divide the spoils of the strong, because he hath delivered his soul unto death, and was reputed with the wicked: and he hath borne the sins of many, and hath prayed for the transgressors. From the Prophet Isaiah Chapter 53.

Holy Thursday 2016: HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM



It behooves us to glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ:
in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection;
by whom we are saved and delivered.
May God have mercy on us and bless us;
may He cause the light of His countenance to shine upon us;
and may He have mercy on us.

Rob Ford - Requiescat in pace

Rob Ford has died.

The City Counsellor and former Mayor of Toronto succumbed to cancer leaving behind his wife Renata, and two children, who are all Catholic. To them, his mother and siblings, condolences to you from Vox and Fox.

He was a caring and compassionate man. He loved Toronto and cared deeply about its people. Nothing could destroy Rob in the eyes of the people. I will go as far to say, I loved the guy. Rob Ford was each of us. With our foibles and our demons and our hopes and our dreams. Rob Ford was every man. A kind, lovable more generous soul one could rarely find. I had some dealing with him in his role as Councillor and Mayor. Each time, my respect for him only grew. 

May God rest his soul and may Our Lady comfort his Renata and the children, Doug and his mother.
May the Angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs greet you at your arrival and lead you into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choir of Angels greet you and like Lazarus, who once was a poor man, may you have eternal rest. Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord; and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Turning the Petrine Office into a joke. Just what we need this Holy Week, More papolatry!

I am beginning a new journey, on Instagram, to walk with you along the path of mercy and the tenderness of God.

The Church enters Her Passion

It is reportedly signed. The Apostolic Exhortation of the Bishop of Rome in response to the two Synods on the Family. He chose the Feast of St. Joseph the Patron of the Church and of the Family. It was apparently written by an alleged archbishop who is an expert on kissing. 

Hilary White sums it up pretty well, it's worth a visit just for the laugh.

My prediction?

He will go right to the line because he know he cannot cross it. It will be a rambling and incoherent statement of confusion that will hold something for everyone. It will be disguised as orthodox and faithful yet it will be a diabolical door to those who would further undermine the faith. In doing that, he will have in fact, crossed the line.

We need to remind ourselves of what these men believe and what they say. They have all revealed themselves:

Thomas Rosica has frequently disclosed their plan. Shall we look at it again?

"Will this Pope re-write controversial Church doctrines? No. But that isn't how doctrine changes. Doctrine changes when pastoral contexts shift and new insights emerge such that particularly doctrinal formulations no longer mediate the saving message of God's transforming love. Doctrine changes when the Church has leaders and teachers who are not afraid to take note of new contexts and emerging insights. It changes when the Church has pastors who do what Francis has been insisting: leave the securities of your chanceries, of your rectories, of your safe places, of your episcopal residences go set aside the small minded rules that often keep you locked up and shielded from the world."

With that quote, (originating at the NCReporter) Father Thomas J. Rosica, on numerous occasions, laid out the plans of those who would undermine the faith. How could we think that it might come from the Bishop of Rome himself?

In this previous report by Sandro Magister, French Dominican theologian Thomas Michelet has written: 
This lack of clarity would also end up making the concluding proposals of the synod ambiguous, opening the way to pastoral practices so diversified as to undermine the unity of the doctrine concerning the indissolubility of marriage, even if in words it is reaffirmed as intact.
The heretical and racist Walter Kasper, an arrogant, clericalist churchman if every there were one, has said:
“This will be the first step of a reform that will make the Church turn a page after 1700 years.”
What a tragic figure this man is.What a disgraceful thing to say. He is a heretic and a protestant to think that that the Church was wrong from Constantine to Bergoglio.

Just as we are entering into Holy Week, so to is the Church Herself. Sh will survive these rats and so will we. We must oppose them, we must resist them, we must condemn each and every one of them for their betrayal. We must call upon Our Lord Himself to take vengeance upon them and cleanse the Church of these Judases. 

Then, they will have their reward.

(Vatican Radio) The lights of the Cupola atop St. Peter’s Basilica are to go dark on the evening of Saturday, March 19th, along with those that illumine Bernini’s colonnade embracing St. Peter’s Square. From 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM in the evening, the lights shall remain dark on the occasion of the 2016 iteration of Earth Hour – an initiative promoted by the World Wildlife Fund International, in which the Vatican City State is participating.
The lights illuminating the two fountains in the Square and the four candelabra surrounding the central obelisk will remain shining, however, along with those that light the two “arms” stretching from either side of the Basilica’s narthex and signed by the two great equestrian statues of Constantine and Charlemagne, north and south, respectively.

Timothy Dolan - The Joker of New York continues on his gay way.

The hypocrisy of those who wear green is grotesque only outdone by the buffoon in red.

The "snakes" driven out of Ireland were the Druid sodomites. 

Dolan now disgraces a parade in honour of the Saint of Ireland with them.

Dare we ask; is Dolan a sodomite?

CDL. DOLAN CELEBRATES GAYS IN ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE

"Thrilled" that "decades of division" have been overcome

NEW YORK (ChurchMilitant.com) - New York's Cdl. Timothy Dolan is celebrating greater inclusion at this year's St. Patrick's Day Parade, which has lifted its ban on homosexuals and allowed two gay activist groups to march officially under their own banners.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, who dropped his boycott of the parade and marched through the streets of New York City Thursday, praised the event for welcoming homosexuals.
"I think it sends a moral signal," he told the press. "This says that New York City is whole again, that the people of New York City are unified, and that we're learning to overcome division."
Cardinal Dolan and de Blasio warmly embraced, Dolan telling a reporter from the local CBS affiliate that he was "thrilled" that "decades of division" had been overcome.
"There's a great spirit ... a wonderful sense of unity and friendship," Cdl. Dolan remarked. "I'd say 'Alleluia' but I can't because it's Lent."

Mogadishu's gift to Canada

This man's parents were given refuge in Canada nearly 30 years ago from Mogadishu.

He repays this land by trying to murder two of our soldiers in a recruiting centre only two blocks from my office.

He says, "Allah told me to do this."


His "allah" is the devil.

The Chief of Police, Mayor, Lesbian Premier and the rogue elected as Dear Leader refuse to call this for what it is.

Radical. Islamic. Terrorism.

Mohammed was an antichrist and a false prophet.

Islam is a lie.

They worship a false god, no matter what Francis or Vatican II state.




Here is what inspired him:

“What does Canada have anything to do with you?… O soldiers of the Islamic State, be ready for the final campaign of the crusaders… O America, O allies of America, and O crusaders, know that the matter is more dangerous than you have imagined and greater than you have envisioned…“And so we promise you by Allah’s permission that this campaign will be your final campaign. It will be broken and defeated, just as all your previous campaigns were broken and defeated, except that this time we will raid you thereafter, and you will never raid us. We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted…“It is you who started the transgression against us, and thus you deserve blame and you will pay a great price. You will pay the price when your economies collapse. You will pay the price when your sons are sent to wage war against us and they return to you as disabled amputees, or inside coffins, or mentally ill. You will pay the price as you are afraid of travelling to any land. Rather you will pay the price as you walk on your streets, turning right and left, fearing the Muslims. You will not feel secure even in your bedrooms…“So O muwahhid [Muslim who believe in the oneness of Allah], do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawāghīt [tyrants]. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves.“If you can kill a disbelieving American or European – especially the spiteful and filthy French – or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be. Do not ask for anyone’s advice and do not seek anyone’s verdict. Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military, for they have the same ruling. Both of them are disbelievers. Both of them are considered to be waging war [the civilian by belonging to a state waging war against the Muslims]. Both of their blood and wealth is legal for you to destroy, for blood does not become illegal or legal to spill by the clothes being worn.“The civilian outfit does not make blood illegal to spill, and the military uniform does not make blood legal to spill. The only things that make blood illegal and legal to spill are Islam and a covenant (peace treaty, dhimma, etc.). Blood becomes legal to spill through disbelief. So whoever is a Muslim, his blood and wealth are sanctified. And whoever is a disbeliever, his wealth is legal for a Muslim to take and his blood is legal to spill. His blood is like the blood of a dog; there is no sin for him in spilling it nor is there any blood money to be paid for doing such…“If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. Do not lack. Do not be contemptible. Let your slogan be, “May I not be saved if the cross worshipper and taghūt (ruler ruling by man made laws) patron survives. If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car, or business. Or destroy his crops…”

Tear it open; tear it down. Whatever is necessary to out these sodomite priests and their protectors!

Rotten, stinking Franciscans. You disgrace God and your spiritual father. You covered up a sodomite whilst he preyed upon boys. You knew it and you let him do it. He killed himself and is now in eternity, probably in Hell. Will you join him there?

Giles Schinelli, Robert D'Aversa, and Anthony Criscitelli, I won't use "Father" in front of your filthy names.

Are you faggots too?

Why did the Provincial only write to the Bishop of the diocese in Florida where two of these three enablers and criminals yesterday? Did he only find out or did he tell the Bishop because they were caught?

What else does Patrick Quinn, TOR, know? 

It is long past the time to cleanse the Church of this filth.

3 Franciscan ex-leaders charged in Pennsylvania abuse case

Attorney General Kathleen Kane announces criminal conspiracy charges against leaders of the... Read more

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Three ex-leaders of a Franciscan religious order were charged Tuesday with allowing a friar who was a known sexual predator to take on jobs, including a position as a high school athletic trainer, that enabled him to molest more than 100 children.
Giles Schinelli, 73; Robert D'Aversa, 69; and Anthony M. Criscitelli, 61, were successively the provincial ministers of a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church in western Pennsylvania from 1986 to 2010. In that role, each assigned and supervised the order's members.
Each was charged with conspiracy and child endangerment. Prosecutors said the three have been given until Friday to surrender.
Schinelli is now a pastoral administrator at the San Pedro Center, a Catholic retreat in Winter Park, Florida. D'Aversa is pastor of St. Patrick Catholic Community in Mount Dora, Florida. Anthony Criscitelli is pastor of St. Bridget Parish Community in Minneapolis.

Don't wash women's feet

The ridiculously imprudent decision to change the nature of the Holy Thursday Mandatum by Francis is soon to be upon us; unless of course you simply abandon the nervous disordered mess these malefactors have created and simply find the nearest traditional Triduum.

Father Sarah has now staid that no priest "must" include women. Francis simply gave it as a possibility. 

Remember Fathers, the Mandatum is optional, period. It was not part of the Mass until 1956. Option i it out if you don't want the harassment.

If any woman complains, tell them, "Madam, the only man that should wash your feet is your husband, oh, you're not married? I can understand that."

What a joke these arrogant, pathetic, clericalist Romans have made of the Holy Liturgy.



In The Rite Of The Washing Of The Feet… Cardinal Sarah Gives Scope To Celebrant Priest Whether Or Not To Include Women

March 15, 2016
cardinalsahar
By MAIKE HICKSON
A letter from Pope Francis to Robert Cardinal Sarah, the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments was published January 21, 2016, (http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2016/01/21/0041/00085.html), in which Pope Francis decreed that, at the ceremony of the Washing of the Feet (in the Ordinary Latin Rite) on Holy Thursday, the priest may wash the feet not only of men, but also of women.
On January 21, Edward Pentin gave a thorough overview of these proposed and permitted changes in the National Catholic Register (http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/pope-changes-rules-for-washing-of-the-feet-on-holy-thursday), to include the further explanations and instructions as published by the office of Cardinal Sarah himself.
In the wake of this general papal decree, some local bishops have further ordained that their own local priests are now obliged to follow this new rule, instead of leaving the decision up the celebrant himself. (The names of these local bishops are explicitly kept private here in order to protect the respective priests from reprisals.) These bishops now say that their priests should involve women in the ceremony of the washing of the feet.
This development has put those priests under moral pressure who are unwilling to wash the feet of married or unmarried women, due to their informed faith and their own priestly sense of modesty and chastity. For example, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, of Astana, Kazakhstan, has expressed his objections against this decision in February of 2016 (http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2016/02/exclusive-bishop-athanasius-schneider.html).

Vale-vale "Crux!"

Not any more!

The Boston Globe has announced the withdrawal of financial support for Crux.

"We simply haven’t been able to develop the financial model of big-ticket, Catholic-based advertisers that was envisioned when we launched Crux back in September 2014.”

Crux is gone.
