Does he or doesn't he?

GloriaTV is reporting that:

"Cardinal João Braz de Aviz, the Prefect of the Congregation for Religious, spoke in an interview with the Brazilian magazine Veja about a deep reform that is going on at the moment in the Church. Quote: “We Catholics lived for centuries with the idea that we need to convert people in order to bring them closer. But we cannot act as if we were the owners of the morals." 

According to Cardinal João Braz de Aviz there are – quote - “two ways to read the Gospel, one of purely doctrinal or rational form.” The other is to see the message of Jesus in the words of the Gospel. This he calls floridly “the message of love and acceptance of Jesus.” He accuses the – quote – “traditionalists of the Church” to see the Gospel in a – quote – “restrictive and purely doctrinal way.” 

Cardinal João Braz de Aviz does not say nice things about Benedict XVI who tragically named him to his post. Quote: “As for Benedict XVI, the last time I asked to speak to him, the meeting was scheduled for four months later. He is extremely shy, and this shyness caused a very large communication difficulty.” But now, Braz de Aviz is happy to have easier access to the Pope: “I see the Pope Francis at least every two weeks."

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Matthew 28:19 

"And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15

I have a question.

What man of 68 has hair this black?

Well? 

Isn't Jesus Christ the "Ultimate Truth?"

From the just can't make this stuff up file:

I thought that the ultimate Truth was and is Jesus Christ?

O LORD, spare us. Spare your people O LORD from these men; these Modernists.

Truly, we are being scourged.

Vatican Radio) The President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, said on Wednesday he sees Buddhist-Catholic dialogue as “a part of our ongoing quest to grasp the mystery of our lives and the ultimate Truth.”

Guns and glass houses

"It makes me think of ... people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn't it?"

Laudato si : My aching back

"Work is a necessity, part of the meaning of life on this earth, a path to growth, human development and personal fulfillment.” Laudato si 128

“And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.” Genesis 3:17

Laudato si : Bless me Father for I have sinned, I have air conditioning in my home, office and car!

How much fuel does it take to fly thousands around the world to World Youth Day? Or how much does it cost a man whose business was closed for six months for which they never recovered after urine and excrement (and condoms) from World Youth Day Toronto 2002 ended up in his store?  

55. Some countries are gradually making significant progress, developing more effective controls and working to combat corruption. People may well have a growing ecological sensitivity but it has not succeeded in changing their harmful habits of consumption which, rather than decreasing, appear to be growing all the more. A simple example is the increasing use and power of air-conditioning. The markets, which immediately benefit from sales, stimulate ever greater demand. An outsider looking at our world would be amazed at such behaviour, which at times appears self-destructive.

My friend Glen, a devout Catholic, sells air conditioning to support his family. Perhaps they should starve. I have asthma. On smoggy, humid days I depend on it. Perhaps I should just suffocate.

Or maybe this would be less sinful. Except for the plastic bottles and water taken out of an aquifer somewhere.

I know, why don't we kill of 6,000,000,000 or so and then it will all be okay.

Laudato si: Earth Charter Globalists ecstatic and intend on "neutralising" the Catholic faith

At La Salette Blog, Paul Anthony Melanson highlights 207 of Laudato si. Pope Francis writes that:

"The Earth Charter asked us to leave behind a period of self-destruction and make a new start."

What is the Earth Charter and why should you care?

From La Salette: 

Speaking about the Earth Charter and related globalism, Msgr. Michel Schooyans said, "In order to consolidate this holistic vision of globalism, certain obstacles have to be smoothed out and instruments put to work. Religions in general, and in the first place the Catholic religion, figure among the obstacles that have to be neutralized."

Monsignor Shooyans also writes that Imperial Marxism has been replaced by United Nations secularism. 

The United Nations. The Earth Charter. These are they who are overjoyed at this Encyclical and who the ghostwriters consulted and whose bidding they undertook.

Does Pope Francis realise who and what he has allied himself with?

Laudato si: One little drop

Pope Francis has issued his long-awaited Encyclical, Laudato si. Like a drop of poison in a glass of water, there is much in this document to be questioned and to be concerned about. From the ghostwriter to the presenters, as a Catholic, I find the lowering of the Church's standards to a PR campaign, deplorable.

In an effort to be charitable, we can only conclude that the Pope himself has been duped by evil men surrounding him. 

Over a series of short-posts, it is my intent to highlight some of the most egregious statements in this document. 

The world is aflame with terrorism and Christian slaughter. Our sister Asia Bibi still languishes in a jail awaiting her death sentence. Once rational nations are sanctioning marriage between those of the same sex and transgenderism and paedophilia are becoming more acceptable. The family is in crisis. The Catholic faith in the West is dying and this is what we get from the Church. 

Two days ago I wrote about what is nothing more than a Masonic prayer written by or under the authority of Pope Francis. A prayer that could be recited in the Lodge, a Synagogue a Mosque or around Stonehenge that offers a generic god proven by its preamble and the "Christian" prayer that follows.

9. At the same time, Bartholomew has drawn attention to the ethical and spiritual roots of environmental problems, which require that we look for solutions not only in technology but in a change of humanity; otherwise we would be dealing merely with symptoms. He asks us to replace consumption with sacrifice, greed with generosity, wastefulness with a spirit of sharing, an asceticism which “entails learning to give, and not simply to give up. It is a way of loving, of moving gradually away from what I want to what God’s world needs. It is liberation from fear, greed and compulsion”.[17] As Christians, we are also called “to accept the world as a sacrament of communion, as a way of sharing with God and our neighbours on a global scale. It is our humble conviction that the divine and the human meet in the slightest detail in the seamless garment of God’s creation, in the last speck of dust of our planet”.[18]

 [18] “Global Responsibility and Ecological Sustainability”, Closing Remarks, Halki Summit I, Istanbul (20 June 2012).

What are we to think when the Vicar of Christ issues an Encyclical that states that we should accept the world "as a sacrament of communion?" This is not his quote, it is a quote from the close of a an Istanbul meeting. Why would the Holy Catholic Church use such a description that is nothing more that a blasphemy to the true "Sacrament of Communion." 

Only one drop friends.

Lawsuits - shutting down the opposition and the truth!

One of the undercurrents of the attempt by Father Thomas Rosica to sue this writer (he later states that he "had no intention to sue") is a not-so-soft, fascism against the new media and that includes Blogs.

LifeSiteNews.com spend hundreds of thousands of dollars defending themselves against the former homosexual prostitute and choice advocate Raymond Gravelle who sadly, was a Catholic priest. Gravelle died a suffering death from cancer. He has met the Lord and it is the Lord who will judge him for what he did.

Now, the Peel District School Board in Mississauga, west of Toronto has announced the intent to sue LifeSiteNews over an article about a workshop by two teachers.

The question for the school board is why are you suing LifeSiteNews? Why are you not disciplining teachers who bring their political agenda into the classroom and promote ideas against the wishes of the overwhelming majority of parents?

Will the Board now come and sue me for reporting this news?

Details of Peel Region Board Legal threat against LifeSiteNews

June 19, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - On June 4 LifeSite was delivered a complaint letter from the law firm Keel Cottrelle, acting on behalf of Ontario’s Peel District School board, threatening legal action regarding two April news reports by LSN journalist Peter Baklinski. See a copy of the full complaint here.

The reports regarding one particular workshop given by two lesbian teachers that were cited, “Lesbian: I use math class to teach young kids about homosexuality so I can ‘hide’ it from parents” and “Lesbian teacher: How I convince kids to accept gay ‘marriage’, starting at 4-years-old” are claimed to “have included inappropriate, aggressive and hateful comments regarding Board representatives,” among other claims. 

LifeSite rejects all of the claims and has responded with demands that the Peel board immediately either withdraw in writing the allegations or immediately provide adequate particulars supporting them.

We have also challenged the notion that the School Board has any legal interest or claim in this matter since, for one thing, the workshop leader began the presentation on which LifeSiteNews reported with the following statement:

"My name is Hiren Mistry. I am from the Peel District School Board, but I, along with the team we're with today, are not representing the board. We're representing ourselves as individuals who are committed to equity and inclusive work.”

LifeSite did not specifically say in its reports that the two named teachers were employees of the school board.

As well, there does not appear to have been any evidence that the school board had any connection with the event sponsored by the pro-LGBT group Jer’s Vision, held in a public venue at Toronto City Hall.

LifeSite reporter Peter Baklinski registered to attend the conference and was soon called by the founder of Jer’s Vision, Jeremy Dias, who stated he was an “avid reader” of LifeSite, which he considered to be “good work” and that he was “thrilled” that Baklinski was coming to his conference on implementing an agenda promoting same-sex “marriage,” gender fluidity and other controversial issues.

Dias stated he was “super happy to comment or share, or anything like that,” and said he would help the LifeSite reporter, “if you need, like, an interview for anything.” Therefore, it was expected that Baklinski would naturally be attending the open-to-the-public conference as a LifeSite news reporter.

The complaint also demanded that LifeSite remove from its reports the images in the reports that included primary grade children as well as a video of Alicia Gunn instructing young students on homosexuality.

LifeSite notes all such images were re-publications of images previously published on the Internet by other parties.

One of the disputed images originated from the Elementary Teachers’ Federation on Ontario Voice (EFTO) website, which is accessible to the general public. As well, that image does not show the faces of the children.

LSN made use of the image of Pam Strong reading to students at Ellengale Public School without any knowledge of opposition by the School Board to its prior publication by EFTO. LSN has demanded answers to five questions from the School Board regarding this image.

The embedded video clip in one of the stories, LifeSite notes, was produced by TVO in 2008, and is featured on the Ontario Teachers Insurance Plan (OTIP) website, which is accessible to the general public.  LSN linked to the video without knowledge of any opposition by the School Board to is prior publication by TVO and OTIP.

LifeSite has demanded answers from the School Board to five questions concerning the video.

Baklinski attended the conference with his video and audio equipment so that his reports would be entirely factual and 100 percent accurate.

LSN has denied the allegation that LSN was requested to cease recording at the workshop. 

There were no rules or conditions communicated by the organizers prior to the event regarding recording by this known journalist who was registered to attend. One organizer did raise an objection, but this objection was not raised before the proceedings had ended.  In any event, none of the video recording by Baklinski was incorporated in the reports.

LSN also denies the allegations that the two LSN reports have “incited hateful responses which call the safety of the individuals into question.”

Both reports simply relate the content of a public workshop in the presenters’ own words. At no point did the reporter engage in mere speculation, opinion or innuendo. Strong and Gunn are solely responsible for the consequences of their public comments.

LifeSite emphasizes that there are legal and constitutional issues raised by the workshop which are matters of public interest, and that the members of the public rely upon a free press to bring these issues to their attention.

LifeSite demands that the PSB retract its threat of legal action and stop wasting taxpayer dollars on a frivolous lawsuit that will only result in public embarrassment.

LifeSite instead urges the Board to investigate, as part of its obligations to the parents of the Peel School Board, and others,  the substance of the candid admissions made by two of its employees that they are trying to change the belief systems of the students to whom their parents entrusted them. 

Praised be

Praised by Jesus Christ.
Both now and forever. Amen.

It will take much time to digest this Encyclical; others will do it much better than this writer. There are nearly 80,000 words of which 21 are the Holy Name of Jesus who shows up for the first time in paragraph 82.

I shall remain a member of the Flat Earth Society and hold the belief that man is not responsible for any significant change in climate. An actual scientific past reveals a tropical Greenland and fossils of palms and ferns in Alaska proving that climate changes. I do not deny that climate changes, it is the nature of it to do so. I deny that mankind has any great affect and I especially deny that we an alter it to serve our needs. 

Should we pollute the air? Of course not, I have asthma mostly affected by nature's own pollution of tree pollen and grass pollen. I feel guilty using ant dust around the deck, but it's either that or live with them in my house. Should we recycle, compost, push for cleaner automobiles, consume less? Absolutely! Should we slaughter our animals for food with respect and humaneness for God's creature? Certainly, so do something about halal slaughter then. Don't pour toxins in drinking water. Clear cutting forests is a bad thing to do. If we could find an alternative to fossil fuels, let's do it. Let's use technology developed by man's God-given ingenuity to find a better way to plant, to harvest, to irrigate, to make. But make no mistake, it is not going to come from socialism or globalist control that will develop new methods. It is only through private property and a free market that the great achievements of mankind have come. We cannot identify one lasting economic or cultural achievement of communism or socialism or globalism. It is about control.

The free market exchange of goods and services with respect for the individual and care for the poor at the level of "subsidiarity" is, and always has been the model of economy.

As for being stewards of the Earth, it goes without saying.

What I cannot accept is that, through parts of this document, the Pope has followed a narrative of political ideology that is the dominating one of globalists and Malthusians, and left-wing ideologues.

I am disturbed by paragraph 175 which is actually lifted from Benedict XVI's equally disturbing writing in Caritas in Veritate calling for a new "global political authority" with its referral back to Pacem in Terris of John XXIII. For the record, I was greatly disturbed and cringed upon reading this a few years ago. This was as disturbing coming from Pope Benedict XVI as was Pope John Paul II's kissing of the Quran.

Yet, now we know that political and economic machinations by those such as Schellnhuber have been permeating and percolating in the Church for more than half a century. "Nothing will ever be the same again."

The problem with this Encyclical is not new. It is a problem that we as Catholics have faced for decades. The Church has lost her way since even before the Second Vatican Council. In an effort to "open the windows" She has been invaded by an evil wind. She has ceased to preach to the entire world that there is only one God in Three Persons and that salvation is only through Her by Father's will the Blood of Jesus Christ and the Grace of the Holy Spirit. She has flirted with false religions and their false gods and now, we are reaping what has been sown as evidenced in this. 

246. At the conclusion of this lengthy reflection which has been both joyful and troubling, I propose that we offer two prayers. The first we can share with all who believe in a God who is the all-powerful Creator, while in the other we Christians ask for inspiration to take up the commitment to creation set before us by the Gospel of Jesus.

The first prayer can be said by any Freemason who bows to the Great Architect of the Universe.

As was said by the Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy who expressed his joy thus; "With the election of Pope Francis, nothing will ever be the same again."

And now, we have a Pope who writes their prayers to their "Great Architect."

The world will praise this Pope and this Encyclical because it has to do with its agenda and nothing to do with faith and morals. The world will ignore his comments about abortion, embryos and population control. The world will not praise Paul VI for Humane Vitae.

It would have been a more profound act on the part of the Pope if this Encyclical was a call for the world to end the persecution and the annihilation of Christians or that true peace can only be found in a conversion to Jesus Christ and His Church but that would not be as politically correct in this age of toleration for everything except the truth. 

St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us.

For erudite and rational assessment of the encyclical, I recommend:

http://www.thecatholicthing.org/2015/06/18/the-new-encyclical-laudato-si/

Hans Joachim (John) Schellnhuber appointed by Pope Francis to Pontifical Academy of Science - Does he want a "one-world government?" Seems to be so!

Hans Joachim (John) Schellnhuber of the Potsdam Institute will be one of the presenters at tomorrow's unveiling of the ghost-written Encyclical of Pope Francis, Laudato si. I've asked the question recently, is he a Malthusian when he said referring to his theory that the temperature of the earth could rise by 9F degrees:

“In a very cynical way, it’s a triumph for science because at last we have stabilized something –- namely the estimates for the carrying capacity of the planet, namely below 1 billion people,” 

Today, Pope Francis has appointed Shellnhuber to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. 

There is much that Shellnhuber has said.

Shellnhuber wishes to influence my Parliament in Ottawa and your legislature.  

"In order to dovetail the die-hard system of national governance with the global institutions, a certain percentage of national parliamentary seats should be earmarked for “Global Ombudspeople.”

The word is actually "Ombudsman" -- it is "gender-netural" and has nothing to do with gender. If he does not know this, are we to trust him as a scientist? Is the Pope?

In his own words:

"Let me conclude this short contribution with a daydream about those key institutions that could bring about a sophisticated—and therefore more appropriate—version of the conventional “world government” notion. Global democracy might be organized around three core activities, namely (i) an Earth Constitution; (ii) a Global Council; and (iii) a Planetary Court. I cannot discuss these institutions in any detail here, but I would like to indicate at least that the Earth Constitution would transcend the UN Charter and identify those first principles guiding humanity in its quest for freedom, dignity, security and sustainability;the Global Council would be an assembly of individuals elected directly by all people on Earth, where eligibility should be not constrained by geographical, religious, or cultural quotas; andthe Planetary Court would be a transnational legal body open to appeals from everybody, especially with respect to violations of the Earth Constitution."

Yes. today the Pope has appointed this man to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

Dare I ask the question?

Is this the beginning of the emergence of the Man of Perdition himself and is it aided and abetted by our own Pope? 

Deus in adjutorium meum intende. Domine exaudi orationem meam!
