All is joyful and celebratory in Poland. The Bishop of Rome advised the youth gathered there to "make chaos all night," similar to his idiotic statement at Rio, to "go make a mess."
Pope Bergoglio knows something about making a mess, but where is the outrage for the great crime this week against Christ from His Vicar?
Joy, joy, joy. It's all joy. All is well. Move along. Nothing to see here.
All is joyful and celebratory and a few days ago, a Catholic priest had his head cut off in an clear case of "odium fidei," instead of singing Veni Creator Spiritus, they sing the Marseillaise, sung as French Catholics were "beheaded" at the guillotine. Do we need to post the picture to make you angry enough?
Sorry, Jimmy Akin, Father IS a Martyr! Shall we give you all the reasons? What a pathetic writer.
Below this post is one from Fr.George Rutler on our duty in the face of terror. Read him instead of Akin.
I pick up, here, on a few of his themes.
It is the duty of a father to protect his family. He must protect his wife and his children. He must have locks on his doors (and walls on his country's borders, if necessary). He must be prepared to do battle, to injure and even to kill, if that is what is necessary to protect his wife and children from burglars or molesters or rapists or thieves or murderers.
The commandment in the Decalogue is to not commit, willful murder." Killing another human, is often necessary, justified, and entirely the right thing to do.
Our spiritual Fathers, priests, bishops and the Pope must also protect their spiritual children. They have, on the most part, failed to protect us as their spiritual children and; if they do not repent and change their ways, they will go to Hell for it and that includes a Pope!
Many of them are sodomites who have buggered our boys or perverts who raped our girls.
Many of them spouted heresy. Many of them don't believe the truth of the Faith and don't believe in Transubstantiation; many are Arians, Masons, Deists and Syncretists.
Notice, I wrote "many" not "the great majority" as our Bishop of Rome said about Catholic marriages.
The "great majority" are like Holy Martyr Jacques Hamel, labouring for love of Christ and His Church, even into retirement.
They are good men, good priests, not all are "traditionalist," as that was not their formation, but they are good men who love Our Lord and do his work and are faithful to their vows and promises.
For them, and for you.
Father, are you ready?
Have you thought about what happened in Rouen to Holy Jacques Hamel and the people there?
Islam is an evil death cult. There are good Muslims, in spite of this. But there are enough evil ones in our midst, in your midst. Yes, in your city and right here in mine, Toronto.
Remember my friends in Toronto - the 17, remember the attempted attack a few months ago on a federal building in north Toronto by an Islamist from Somalia. Remember Ottawa.
The goal of radical Islam (and those who are using it to their Marxist advantage) is to destroy the Church and family. They hate Our Blessed Lord. They hate you and they hate me. They want Christ wiped out, They want the Church gone.
Our leaders are powerless to stop it because they do not understand it or they are part of the system. Hillary Clinton herself has said that religions need to change their views on abortion. In Canada, our malefactor and Dear Leader, a Catholic, hates the Faith, as proven by his actions before and since his election. They are part of an antichrist movement that will not protect you. They wish to devour your soul.
Begin to plan to protect and defend
Now what about your parish?
Fathers, have you thought about this?
Are there cameras? Do you have men in the front pews - real men who are prepared to rise up and use force, if necessary.
People, if someone shouts out the death call, "have a snackbar" a call that some bury their head in the sand over, are you prepared to respond and defend your priest?
Will you run towards the evil as the Police in Dallas did, or will you run away and let your priest be butchered at the Altar?
Fathers, are you trained in firearms? Are you licenced? Do you own one or more? What the heck are you waiting for?
All of us have a duty to protect one another. Turning the other cheek was an individual instruction, not a call for a community or nation to submit to massacre.
Seriously Fathers. Get ready!
It was Rouen, in Normandy. A weekday morning.
Where will it be next?
A Christian Duty in the Face of Terror
As priest is slaughtered by ISIS at the altar, the West must
wake up
by Fr. George Rutler | Updated 26 Jul 2016 at 5:54 PM
After another devastating ISIS attack in France, this time
against a priest in his 80s while he was saying Mass, the answer isn’t just,
“Do nothing.” As racism distorts race and sexism corrupts sex — so does
pacifism affront peace.
Turning the other cheek is the counsel Christ gave in the
instance of an individual when morally insulted: Humility conquers pride. It
has nothing to do with self-defense.
Christ warned the apostles, as shepherds, to beware of
wolves.
The Catholic Church has always maintained that the defiance
of an evil force is not only a right but an obligation. Its Catechism (cf.
#2265) cites St. Thomas Aquinas: “Legitimate defense can be not only a right
but a grave duty for someone responsible for another’s life, the common good of
the family or of the State.”
A father is culpable if he does not protect his family. A
bishop has the same duty as a spiritual father of his sons and daughters in the
church, just as the civil state has as its first responsibility the maintenance
of the “tranquility of order” through self-defense.
Christ warned the apostles, as shepherds, to beware of
wolves. This requires both the “shrewdness of serpents and the innocence of
doves.” To shrink from the moral duty to protect peace by not using force when
needed is to be innocent as a serpent and shrewd as a dove.
That is not innocence — it is naiveté.
Saint John Capistrano led an army against the Moors in 1456
to protect Belgrade. In 1601, Saint Lawrence of Brindisi did the same in
defense of Hungary. As Franciscans, they carried no sword and charged on
horseback into battle carrying a crucifix. They inspired the shrewd generals
and soldiers, whom they had assembled through artful diplomacy, with their
brave innocence.

This is not obscure trivia: Were it not for Charles Martel
at Tours in 732 and Jan Sobieski at the gates of Vienna in 1683 — and most
certainly had Pope Saint Pius V not enlisted Andrea Doria and Don Juan at
Lepanto in 1571 — we would not be here now. No Western nations as we know them
— no universities, no modern science, no human rights — would exist.
In the ninth century, the long line of martyrs of Cordoba
told the Spanish Umayyad Caliph Abd Ar-Rahman II that his denial of Christ was
infernal, and that they would rather die than surrender. Saint Juan de Ribera
(d. 1611) and St. Alphonsus Liguori (d. 1787) repeated the admonition that the
concept of peace in Islam requires not co-existence but submission.
The dormancy of Islam until recent times, however, has
obscured the threat that this poses — especially to a Western civilization that
has grown flaccid in virtue and ignorant of its own moral foundations.

The shortcut to handling the crisis is to deny that it
exists.
On the first day of the Democratic National Convention in
Philadelphia, there were over 60 speeches, and yet not one of them mentioned
ISIS.
Vice has destroyed countless individual souls, but in the
decline of civilizations, weakness has done more harm than vice. “Peace for our
time” is as empty now as it was when Chamberlain went to Munich and honor was
bartered in Vichy.
Hilaire Belloc, who knew Normandy and all of Europe well,
said in 1929: “We shall almost certainly have to reckon with Islam in the near
future. Perhaps, if we lose our faith, it will rise. For after this subjugation
of the Islamic culture by the nominally Christian had already been achieved,
the political conquerors of that culture began to notice two disquieting
features about it. The first was that its spiritual foundation proved
immovable; the second, that its area of occupation did not recede, but on the
contrary slowly expanded.”
The priest in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvrary in Normandy, France,
was not the first to die at the altar — and he will not be the last.
In his old age, the priest embodied a civilization that has
been betrayed by a generation whose hymn was John Lennon’s “Imagine” — that
there was neither heaven nor hell but “above us only sky” and “all the people
living for today.” When reality intrudes, they can only leave teddy bears and
balloons at the site of a carnage they call “inexplicable.”
Fr. George William Rutler is a Catholic priest and the
pastor of the Church of St. Michael in Manhattan.
