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!

Father Federico Lombardi: Would you like to see a real heinous act?

Father Federico Lombardi, S.J. Priest. Jesuit. Head of the Holy See Press Office.

Words are important.

When you use a phrase such as a "heinous act."

Please be sure that you know what the hell you are talking about!

You embarrass and shame me as a Catholic, you a priest and as a leader and a confidant to the Pope.

It is good that God is merciful.

I would not be.

Sandro Magister's press credential removed by Vatican - blamed for breaking an "embargo" that did not exist!

In a retaliatory move better suited to some dollar-store novel, the Holy See Press Office under Father Federico Lombardi has stripped Magister of his press credentials. Father Lombardi called the "leak" of the Laudato si, a "heinous act."  Frankly, I would be more impressed if he called abortion or the slaughter of Christians by Islamists or the vote for sodomite marriage in Ireland a "heinous act" but to each his own, I suppose. I find the Church's action against Magister as "heinous" and disgraceful. 

Commonweal is reporting that in fact, there was no embargo on Magister who "got his copy from an unofficial source (obviously curial) who imposed no restrictions on its use."

Sandro Magister was under no obligation to protect the information since it was not a final copy and no embargo was imposed on him. In fact, the embargo only begins two hours before its release when it will be given to reporters. This stripping of his credentials is without justice because the embargo does not yet exist. 

This is what the Church and its "leadership" deserves when they stop teaching salvation and calling all to Jesus Christ and instead takes up with Malthusians and embraces the world.

There was once a tropical Greenland and fossils of palm leaves in northern British Columbia and Alaska. It was once very warm there and fossil fuels had nothing to do with it.

But don't tell Francis that. 

St. Francis of Assisi, intercede for us, because they always forget the last verse:

Praised be You, my Lord through Sister Death,

from whom no-one living can escape. 

Woe to those who die in mortal sin! 

Blessed are they She finds doing Your Will.

No second death can do them harm. 

Praise and bless my Lord and give Him thanks,

And serve Him with great humility.

Has Pope Francis chosen a "Malthusian" to present Laudato Si?

The Pope is about to issue his first encyclical to be named, in medieval Italian instead of Latin, "Laudato si" (Praised be)  in honour of St. Francis of Assisi and a reference to his Canticle of the Sun. The sub title will be "on the care of our common home." The encyclical will be released on June 18 and the Holy See Press office has announced the main presenter will be Cardinal Peter Turkson, the President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. He will be joined by the Orthodox (schismatic) Archbishop, John Zizioulas of Pergamon representing the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and Dr. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, the Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Chairman of the German Advisory Council on Global Change.

Dr. Shellnhuber? The German Malthusian? The "two-degree climate" and the "zero-carbon world" proponent?

Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, the director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, said that if the buildup of greenhouse gases and its consequences pushed global temperatures 9 degrees Fahrenheit higher than today — well below the upper temperature range that scientists project could occur from global warming — Earth’s population would be devastated.

“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,” said Dr. Schellnhuber.

Why the heck didn't you invite David Suzuki along with him who calls Christianity a "myth?" 

We cannot comment authoritatively on this Encyclical until it is released and reviewed.  Given that the Church of Christ on Earth and its Vicar have consulted with a man who discloses himself to be a Malthusian, it does not bode well. The problem is not overpopulation or global-warming or climate-change, the problem is a lack of Christ in the lives of the people of the Earth.

The Church is in a dark hour when It partners with globalists and those who have no faith in what She teaches. She has betrayed her mission. "Go and preach the Good News" Our Blessed Lord said. He did not say,  become an NGO of the UN!

The comment about "rabbits" is becoming more clear.

There will be literal Hell to pay for this!

Just as there has been Hell to pay for the Pope's invitation to a Mohammedan to pray to his god in the Vatican itself one year ago.

O Britannia, Quo vadis?

Whilst thou who commest by herein has then the glorious opportunity to lend thine ears to these glorious sounds of English choristers chanting the psalms, let thouest contemplate this:

2067: the end of British Christianity

Projections aren't predictions. But there's no denying that churches are in deep trouble

Damian Thompson 

It’s often said that Britain’s church congregations are shrinking, but that doesn’t come close to expressing the scale of the disaster now facing Christianity in this country. Every ten years the census spells out the situation in detail: between 2001 and 2011 the number of Christians born in Britain fell by 5.3 million — about 10,000 a week. If that rate of decline continues, the mission of St Augustine to the English, together with that of the Irish saints to the Scots, will come to an end in 2067.

The Coming Schism - the Devil has Germany by the Throat, again!

How many posts on this blog and others have been written about the heretical, and schismatic stench coming from what seems to be the majority of Bishops of Germany. 

Maria Meaney has addressed the "German Effect" a number of times at the aptly named Crisis Magazine and writes today that:

"Friedrich Nietzsche prophesied the death of God with empty churches as a consequence. But it didn’t take outsiders to kill God. His people and especially his apostles are perfectly capable. For by hitting marriage in its center, we kill love itself. It is absolutely central to our lives, to our salvation, to our society and for the well-being of our children. A Christianity that pretends it can do without marriage while claiming to be acting out of compassion, has taken on the trappings of Christianity while leaving us with an empty shell. This is one of the faces of the anti-Christ rearing its ugly head as it has throughout history. Our society has already fallen for it hook, line and sinker. We abort our children in the name of compassion, and kill the elderly out of mercy. We produce children for the infertile while killing the imperfect in the process. We call for mercy for the divorced and remarried, yet throw the children of the original marriage together with the abandoned spouse under the bus. This is the nasty underbelly of a false kind of compassion and mercy. By their fruits you shall know them. The signs, I think, are clear for those who are willing to see."

We must wake up the realisation of what is on our doorstep in a few short months. When we examine how the German bishops have betrayed the faith and we consider the latest from rogue priests who prefer sodomy to Christ we can know that the path is clear for us to discern our duty. 

Let us take the Light of Christ out the cave of our minds and hearts and proclaim it to the world.

New Archbishop of Berlin - member of "shadow synod" and fan of Kasper's proposals

From Augustinius at Rorate Caeli: 

The Holy See today announced the appointment of Heiner Koch, 61 years old, Bishop of Dresden-Meiβen, as the new Archbishop of Berlin. His appointment comes after his election by the Berlin Cathedral Chapter, which is required under the complex system of concordats that governs Church-State relations in Germany. Nevertheless the final ratification of such elections still lies with the Pope. Berlin is a small diocese by German standards, but due to its immense social and political importance for all of Europe, six of its seven Ordinaries from 1935 to 2014 have been raised to the Cardinalate while in office. 

The Archbishop-elect heads the German hierarchy's Commission for Marriage and Family and is one of the three German delegates to the 2015 Synod along with Reinhard Cardinal Marx of Munich and Franz-Josef Bode, Bishop of Osnabruck. Despite some conservative-sounding statements made by the Archbishop-elect during the Benedict years (such as a 2012 statement on the futility of discussing matters already closed by the Magisterium) he is now without question aligned with the "progressivist" camp. All three German delegates to the 2015 Synod have publicly come out in favor of the Kasper "hypothesis" and all three attended the now-infamous "Shadow Synod" held on May 25 at the Gregorianum in Rome. 

Remember this list?

May their names live in infamy forever and ever for their intent to assemble secretly to discard the clear words of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the name of Him Who Himself is Love, and to favor a certain kind of press to make their new doctrine known to the world:

BISHOPS:
Cardinal Reinhard Marx, president of the German Bishops’ Conference, Archbishop of Munich and Freising
Archbishop Georges Pontier, president of the French Bishops’ Conference, Archbishop of Marseille
Bishop Markus Büchel, president of the Swiss Bishops’ Conference, Bishop of St. Gallen
Bishop Franz-Josef Bode of Osnabrück, Germany
Bishop Heiner Koch of Dresden-Meißen/Meissen, Germany
Bishop Felix Gmür of Basel, Switzerland
Bishop Jean-Marie Lovey of Sitten/Sion, Switzerland
Bishop Bruno Ann-Marie Feillet of Reims, France
Bishop Jean-Luc Brunin of Le Havre, France

On one hand, the Pope says many things about "gender ideology" and not to have computers in children's rooms. What good does if on the other hand, he makes appointments that may undermine the teaching of the Church?

Treacherous Churchmen

A few days after the Irish peoples' referendum to allow so-called marriage between sodomites and lesbians, Raymond Cardinal Burke remarked that even the pagans of old who tolerated sodomy did not stoop to calling it "marriage." The Cardinal is correct and those such as a former Catholic Canadian journalist that say "Jesus never spoke of homosexuality" are wrong. Jesus spoke to the Jewish people and they knew what sodomy was and they did not practice it and those that did, were put to death. He did not need to preach about it. St. Paul who preached to the pagans said much because they practiced it. As to the journalist, since Jesus is God the Son incarnate and he was begotten and not made, then He was there when the Holy Spirit inspired the prophets and he was the Word in the Burning Bush that appeared to Moses, so we know where He stood.

The Cardinal is correct because the whole pagan world, Greeks, Romans, Celts and Druids all practiced sodomy and with young boys especially. This is historical fact. The snakes chased out of Ireland were not literal snakes, it is metaphorical. St. Patrick found sodomy rife amongst the Druid and Celtic pagans. 

Barona at Toronto Catholic Witness has commented on the rightness of Cardinal Burke's statement juxtaposed with the actual phrase "ideology of evil" used to describe sodomite and lesbian "marriage" by Saint John Paul II. He further highlights the "outburst of treachery" by Archbishop Eamon Martin.

The referendum merely reflected the debasement of the Irish mind. Ireland is now mission territory. For their cowardice, their treachery, their refusal to preach in season and out of season - the Irish hierarchy should resign. In his last book,"Identity and Remembrance", the late, now sainted Pope denounced same-sex "marriage" as an "ideology of evil". Not one word of this from the bishops. 

Indeed, we had the most recent outburst of treachery from Archbishop Eamon Martin that the far more gentle words of Cardinal Burke were unacceptable. When will this Irish episcopal mercenary resign or be removed from Office? He is staining with his treacherous presence the office of his holy predecessors. These cowards have not even apologized before God for their failure. 

I highly recommend you to these three posts by Barona.

Ireland has been betrayed by its bishop and priests. One can only conclude that they have lost the faith, if they ever indeed had it or that enough of them are simply caught up themselves in the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah which was not, as some would like to conclude, a lack of hospitality.

Our Lady of Akita spoke of "Bishop against Bishop and Cardinal against Cardinal." With the wretched scene last October at the Synod we saw this played out under the eyes and nose of the Bishop of Rome himself. We saw the skullduggery of an assault on the Holy Eucharist and marriage played out before our eyes. We are in for more but we can be confident that our work is weakening them as evidenced by Raymond Arroyo's masterful interview with Cardinal Kasper.

Gird your loins brothers and sisters. The battle is coming to us.

Ottawa Priest Samson now calls Cardinal Burke's statements "Violent"

In the continuing scandal brewing in the Archdiocese of Ottawa, Big Blue Wave is reporting that Father Andre Samson who has been defaming Raymond Cardinal Burke on CBC Radio Canada and Twitter has now said that the Cardinal's statements on homosexuality have been "violent."

University of Ottawa faculty photo

"What he says against homosexuality, I find that violent." A violence that not only targets gays in the general population, but also is also directed against priests and bishops. Samson reckons that many of his fellow priests and bishops are gay. "He is just as violent towards gay priests and gay bishops, and I find that sad."

The above was stated in an interview with Radio Ville-Marie and has been translated fully by Big Blue Wave. 

Samson has said Tweeted in the last few days calling Cardinal Burke a "clown" and a "drag queen."

The Church in Ottawa has been lead in the past by Ordinaries who have permitted much dissent by priests and laity alike specifically, Plourde and Gervais. The current Archbishop, Terrence Prendergast, S.J., has been making an effort to turn the situation. Clearly, he needs to do much more. 

He can be reached at arch@archottawa.ca (corrected). The Apostolic Nuncio to Canada is Archbishop Luigi Bonazzi; he can be reached at nuntiatura@nuntiatura.ca.

There is only truth and beauty in what the Cardinal has to say.

Meanwhile, the Vatican is now aware of this matter, for whatever good that will do.

1,000,000 Thank-yous + 1 and the Law of Unintended Consequences

This obscure blog has just past 1,000,000 page views. It happened in the last few minutes.

Never, would I have thought that it would achieve this milestone and truthfully, it is still minute compared to some of my favourites out there who do much good work. I started this blog during the time I was directing a choir in my local parish. My late brother had a blog to document his illness and I got the idea from him. It was a way of keeping the choir up-to-date with the music program.

Eventually, I could not resist posting an opinion or two.

Just after last Christmas, I thought it quite remarkable that Vox Cantoris broke through the 600,000 mark. For that, it took ten years; obscure indeed was this blog. Now, only five months later another 400,000 plus have been added in what is for this blog, a remarkably short time. The largest single read post remains "Behold the Tabernacle of the Seattle Seahawks" and I'm sure that will be the case for quite a while at almost 20,000 direct hits. 

Thank you, dear reader, for coming here. I've not always been polite and I've often been quite crass. I am sorry if I've offended you and I shall try to do better. However, I admit to being angry. I am angry that the Lord I love and His Church have been so betrayed by those who were called and who are privileged to be His servants and our shepherds. I am disgusted by the liturgical and catechetical deformation, the rape and sodomising of boys and girls by those trusted, the infiltration of evil men into her ranks and the capitulation to the deformed culture of the world. 

I must thank PewSitter for picking up some of my posts, particularly as a result of a certain person and by whose actions, I must really thank.

How could I not give him a special mention to thank the one person responsible for the escalation in readership over the last four months. He is a man of great renown. An American who has adopted my country as his home. He is a priest who has interviewed some of the finest heretics of the most recent years to great shame including Gregory Baum and Timothy Radcliffe. He has been a promoter of the "Francis Effect" to great acclaim. He is incredibly well-educated with numerous international degrees and has many appointments and official positions in academia. He is a columnist in various Catholic newspapers and like Timothy Radcliffe, he is a Consultor to the Holy See. He was the organisational genius behind World Youth Day 2002 in Toronto and he heads the incredibly successful Salt + Light Television, Canada's Catholic Channel of Hope. Thank you; Father Thomas J. Rosica, CSB for the unintended attempt to sue me into bankruptcy and thereby bouncing this blog into a level where I have been able to meet so many other bloggers around the world and be known to so many more readers.

As for the wonderful Congregation of St. Basil, who did so much good to me as a boy of 13, thank you as well for the unintended consequences of catapulting this blog to over 1,000,000 readers. Without those Basilian Fathers of a previous generation filling me with the intestinal and testicular fortitude to stand up and confront the bullies, wherever they are and whatever they wear, this blog would not have been sustained. If not for those abusive days, I would not be filled the righteous anger to stand up for the Truth of Christ and His Church against those who would seek to tear Her down and make victims of other little boys! 

They will never bully, abuse, rape, victimise or sodomise again!

They are now leaving Our Lady of the Rosary Parish in Toronto which will be staffed by diocesan priests. The are marked for extinction.

Ottawa Catholic Priest calls Cardinal Burke a "clown" and a "drag queen!"

In a fiasco reminiscent of Basilian Father Tim Scott tweeting that Cardinal Burke should just  "STFU" (SHUT THE F**K UP) an Ottawa Catholic priest and professor at University of Ottawa has called Raymond Cardinal Burke a "clown" and a "drag queen."

HUFF POST QUEBEC - PHILIPPE VAILLANCOURT:

It is crucial to comprehend the phenomenon of Burke as a dynamic work within the Church.

FATHER ANDRE SAMSON: 

What are, in the Church, the organisational factors that have clowns like Burke fussing?

HUFF POST QUEBEC: 

Cardinal Burke embodies the deep differences among Catholics.

FATHER ANDRE SAMSON:

 It embodies a particularly extreme form of anachronism.

HUFF POST QUEBEC: 

Cardinal Burke embodies the deep differences amongst Catholics.

FATHER ANDRE SAMSON: 

Pope Francis has done well by dismissing this musical comedy Cardinal Drag Queen.

Yesterday, we reported on Father Andre Samson's email read aloud on CBC Radio Canada. 

Whose authority is this priest under? Is it Archbishop Terence Prendergast, S.J. of Ottawa.

The Twitter universe has given us much over the last year in way of exposition of the comments of certain clerics.

This public dialogue by Father Andre Samson is scandalous, insulting and degrading. Cardinal Burke is man of great humility and grace, he will bear this. What does this say about Father Samson and those above him who have allowed this travesty.

Cardinal Burke for what it is worth, for this outrage and that of the Member of Parliament below this post, please accept the apologies of faithful Catholics from coast to coast for whom I can surely speak; we are very sorry for these offenses against you. Please come back soon to Canada. We love you and we need you and may God bless you and St. Michael protect you. Vox.
