Asia Bibi continues to languish and the Pope and Vatican still do nothing! Adultererists and sodomites are so much more enticing for these malefactors!

No less than six times, this is now the seventh, have I blogged about the continual suffering of Asia Bibi, a Catholic ridiculously accused of blaspheming a dead and rotted man when blasphemy can only be against God. She languishes in prison in the failed state of Pakistan, removed for five years from her husband and children, suffering, all of them. Who cares?

Where has the Bishop of Rome been on this?

Sandro Magister is now asking the same question with the reminder of how her husband and daughter were insulted and not given an minute of time nor even a blessing.

Asia Bibi Sentenced To Death For Faith. But in the Vatican Her Case Is Taboo

Every time Islam is in the middle, Francis is extremely cautious. But on Pakistan his reticence is at its highest. Here is the story of the Christian mother on which he is silent. She has been in prison for seven years, and her fate is interwoven with the Easter massacre in Lahore

by Sandro Magister

ROME, April 5, 2016 – In commenting on Lahore’s bloody Easter, Pope Francis was very careful not to bring up the authors of the attack and not to address the meaning of that crime, which on the contrary he called “meaningless”:

> "Regina Coeli" del 28 marzo 2016

In doing this he bowed down to the canons of that minimalist diplomacy which traditionally guides the steps of the Holy See on the most mine-strewn terrain, justified by the intention of not exposing to further danger the most vulnerable Christian communities, precisely like that of Pakistan.

And up to this point there is no surprise. Whenever Islam is in the middle, Jorge Mario Bergoglio is extremely cautious. Only once has he made a departure, and entirely on his own initiative, with Turkey on the “genocide” of the Armenians, making a bit of a mess for the secretariat of state, which had to scramble for months to patch things up with the Turkish authorities:

> Genocidio armeno. Francesco tra diplomazia e "parresìa" (24.4.2015)

But on Pakistan the pope is even more reserved and silent than ever, far below the expectations of the Christians of that country. The Pakistan dossier is one of the most voluminous and distressing at the secretariat of state, and yet none of this appears in what Francis says and does on the rare occasions on which he finds himself obligated to speak out.

The emblem of this reticence is in the 12 seconds - not one more - of face-to-face that the pope had in Saint Peter’s Square on April 15 one year ago, with the husband and youngest daughter of Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Catholic sentenced to death in 2010 under the spurious accusation of having offended the prophet Muhammad, and imprisoned since then while awaiting a new sentence that would save her life.

In the fleeting encounter along the barriers - as can be seen in the video - the pope brushes past the two, accompanied by the children’s tutor. He does not listen to them, he does not speak, he does not bless them. The girl looks at him with amazement at such coldness. Everything takes place as if the name of Asia Bibi means nothing to Francis:

> Rome Reports. Francisco saluda...

On November 17, 2010, a few days before she was sentenced to death, Benedict XVI publicly called for Asia Bibi to be set free. But this has remained the first and only time a pope has spoken her name in public, in spite of the subsequent mobilization of many in support of her and in spite of the fact that her case is interwoven with all the following events of anti-Christian hatred in Pakistan, up to the massacre this past Easter, with 74 dead and 350 wounded, most of them women and children.

Asia Bibi was arrested on June 19, 2009, and sentenced to death on November 11, 2010, on the charge, not supported by evidence, of having violated the law in Pakistan that punishes with execution an offense against the Islamic religion.

The family appealed, and many people swung into action for the liberation of the condemned woman and for the revision of the law against blasphemy, including the governor of Punjab at the time and a potential future prime minister, Salmaan Taseer, a Muslim, who also went to visit her in prison.

But on January 4, 2011, Taseer was killed by one of his bodyguards, Mumtaz Qadri, precisely out of retaliation for his efforts.

And two months later, on March 2, someone else was assassinated for the same reason, Shahbaz Bhatti, a Catholic champion of human rights and the minister for minorities. Benedict XVI knew him personally, having met him in Rome in September of the previous year and feeling great esteem for him.

On January 10, 2011, a few days after the killing of Taseer and a few before that of Bhatti, Benedict XVI dedicated to the question this passage of his new year’s address to the diplomatic corps:

“Among the norms prejudicing the right of persons to religious freedom, particular mention must be made of the law against blasphemy in Pakistan: I once more encourage the leaders of that country to take the necessary steps to abrogate that law, all the more so because it is clear that it serves as a pretext for acts of injustice and violence against religious minorities. The tragic murder of the governor of Punjab shows the urgent need to make progress in this direction: the worship of God furthers fraternity and love, not hatred and division.”

Shahbaz Bhatti’s brother, Paul, has sought since then to inspire a national and international mobilization in support of religious freedom, with Asia Bibi as the emblematic case.

In his country, Paul Bhatti founded and leads the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance, and was minister for national harmony. And today he claims that steps forward have been made in defense of minorities, in oversight of the Quranic schools in which hatred against the “infidels” is instilled, in the legal reforms brought by the supreme court to blasphemy cases and above all in a more decisive commitment of the authorities, not only political but also military, in fighting Islamic radicalism, especially after the appalling attack on December 16, 2014 on the military school in Peshawar, with the deliberate killing of 132 students between the ages of 17 and 18.

One effect of this evolution has been, in Bhatti’s judgment, precisely the acceptance by the supreme court of Pakistan, on July 22 of 2015, of Asia Bibi’s appeal. Who, while awaiting a new trial to acknowledge her innocence, continues from prison to make her voice heard, with letters and appeals.

For example, with this open letter of December 2012, in which she thanks Benedict XVI for having interceded in her favor:

> "Scrivo da una cella senza finestre…"

As also with the two letters she sent personally to Pope Francis, which received no response.

Asia Bibi has been kept in a maximum security cell since 2010, in an isolation justified by the continual threats against her life. Even her food is checked, to prevent its being poisoned.

But her family too, her husband Ashiq Masih and five children Imran, Nasima, Isha, Sidra, and Isham, must hide in secret locations for security reasons. This is what they had to do, in particular, at the end of last February, in conjunction with the execution of Mumtaz Qadri, the author of the 2011 assassination of Punjab governor Salmaan Naseer.

The hanging of Qadri, which took place on February 29, prompted the mass reaction of his supporters and of radical Islamic groups, who took to the streets in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, and other cities, here and there with explosions of violence.

For all of them Qadri is a “national hero,” and they are calling for his exoneration and raising effigies of him. While for Asia Bibi they are incessantly demanding death.

On the day of Easter, one month after Qadri’s execution, 30,000 took to the streets in Islamabad, the capital, and tried to break through the “red zone” of the institutional buildings. But they were pushed back. On the afternoon of the same day, in Lahore, a twenty-year-old Muslim suicide bomber blew himself up at the Gulshan-i-Iqbal park, massacring women and children who were celebrating the holiday, introduced by the government for the first time this year.

Responsibility for the massacre was claimed by an Islamic organization called Jamaat-ul-Aharar, a faction of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, as a deliberate attack against the Christians celebrating Easter.

And it is not the first attack carried out in Pakistan with this declared objective, on a Sunday and in front of crowded churches. The same thing happened on September 22, 2013 in Peshawar, with 126 victims, and on March 15, 2015 in Yuhannabad, with 26 dead and many wounded, all Christians.

Last March 31 the radical Muslims left the streets, boasting of having received from the government the assurance that Asia Bibi would be hung soon. The Pakistani authorities denied it.

On Wednesday, March 2, at the end of the general audience in Saint Peter’s Square, Pope Francis had met briefly with two Pakistani officials, ports and shipping minister Kamran Michael and religious affairs minister Sardar Muhammad Yousaf. The two had passed on to the pope an invitation from prime minister Nawaz Sharif to visit Pakistan. And they had interpreted the pope’s response as a “yes,” giving the impression that he would make a stop in Pakistan next September, on the occasion of the journey to Calcutta to canonize Mother Teresa.

In reality, as Fr. Federico Lombardi clarified, this year the pope will not go to Calcutta, much less to Pakistan.

Nor has he yet dedicated a single word to Asia Bibi. Whose ordeal extends to her husband and children, who since she has been in prison, for almost 2500 days, must continually take shelter in hiding, their lives being in danger as well.

From their village of Ittanwali they moved to Lahore, a big city in which anonymity is easier. But soon they were also recognized and threatened there. In order to hide, the husband had to quit working. Last summer they were driven out of their home and now have taken shelter in a school of the Renaissance Education Foundation.

The director of this foundation, Joseph Nadeem, is the gentleman in the tie beside the daughters of Asia Bibi, in the video of the meeting with Pope Francis.

To whom he tried uselessly to say in Spanish who the man and his daughter were, not even succeeding in handing him the dossier he wanted to give him.

The "real" Catholics of China - about to be handed over by the Vatican?

On two previous occasions, here and here, I've written about China and certain overtures seemingly being made by the Vatican. There are two Catholic Churches in communist China and there is the Church in Taiwan. In China, there is the "real" Catholic Church, it is underground, loyal to Christ and the Pope and persecuted. Then there is the false, schismatic Church which is stacked with bishops appointed by the communist government without papal sanction, known as the Catholic Patriotic Association. 

I wrote over a year ago on a tip from a contact that the Vatican was about to enter a new era of the disgraced ostpolitik which persecuted great Cardinals such as Mindzenty and Slipyj in a softened stance towards Soviet communism which even resulted in the wretched Fathers of Vatican II refusal to condemn communism. John XXIII and Paul VI sold out the Church in Ukraine, Hungary, and throughout Eastern Europe and some rightly believe that the Church was infiltrated by communists who engineered this.

In the second article linked above, the great Emeritus of Hong Kong, Cardinal Zen rails against the Vatican for its actions. Now, the secular press is picking up on it which probably means, it is coming soon.

What price will the Catholics of Taiwan pay for this overture? What price will the persecuted faithful and their priests and bishops pay for another misguided attempt to flirt with satanic communists? The Church does not need the Patriotic Association, the communists of China need the Church to give them legitimacy. Only a madman would give this to them.

When one looks at these recent pictures, below; we are moved by the faith, dignity and devotion of the real Catholics of China even if their worship is within meters of a latrine.

China's Catholics:

'Rome may betray us,

but I won’t join a Church

which is controlled by the

Communist Party’ 

By Neil Connor, Shijiazhuang                                                                      4 APRIL 2016 • 6:00AM

In the backyard of a rundown house, a Chinese priest stood before his congregation and conducted an unofficial Catholic Mass.

Father Dong Baolu’s flock were gathered outdoors beside a row of foul-smelling lavatories. They had no choice but to worship in this furtive way, as China does not recognise these so-called “house churches”.

Even so, the congregation stayed for two hours, singing hymns and clasping their hands in prayer.

China and the Vatican may now be edging towards a thaw that could see Beijing recognising the illegal church, but only on terms that many local Catholics would condemn as a betrayal.

“It’s possible that Rome may betray us,” said Fr Dong, before he said Mass in the city of Shijiazhuang in Hebei province. “If this happens, I will resign. I won’t join a Church which is controlled by the Communist Party.

“We are suffering like Jesus on the cross. We fight for religious freedom and follow the Gospel – but we are not supported by either Rome or China.”

In the past, agreement between the Vatican and China has always been prevented by the question of who would ordain the clergy.

Beijing  insists on controlling any recognised church, mainly by appointing its hierarchy.

Some official Catholic bishops have been appointed by Beijing – only to be excommunicated by the Vatican.

Meanwhile, the authorities have locked up priests who were ordained by the Vatican before the break in relations in the Fifties.

But there are signs that Rome may be willing to compromise. Pope Francis has publicly praised China and voiced the hope that he will visit the country.

This warming in relations resulted last summer in the consecration of Joseph Zhang Yinlin as the Roman Catholic Bishop of Anyang. He had been nominated for this role by Beijing – and accepted by the Vatican.

Cardinal Joseph Zen, who formerly led Hong Kong’s Catholics, is concerned about the possibility of a deal where bishops will be formally agreed by both sides, but the Vatican will be able to veto candidates proposed by Beijing.

“It is unthinkable to leave the initial proposal in the hands of an atheist government who cannot possibly judge the suitability of a candidate to be a bishop,” Cardinal Zen wrote.

Catholics fear that any agreement along these lines wouldcompromise the independence of the Church.

Bob Fu, the director of the US-based campaign group ChinaAid, said that any retreat by Rome would “constitute a betrayal of the Chinese Catholic Church, especially those who have suffered even martyrdom”.

Mr Fu added: “It will be like a father’s betrayal of his own children, a saddest day for the independent Catholic Churches in China because the move will legitimise the Communist Party’s persecution, past, present and perhaps future.”

Across China, about six million Catholics have refused to join churches sanctioned by the Communist Party and chosen instead to worship in house churches, where they remain loyal to the Vatican.

In Shijiazhuang, a Catholic bishop who is unrecognised by the authorities, Jia Zhiguo, lives under strict surveillance.

The regime has escalated its suppression of house churches, toppling crosses from places of worship and forcing followers deeper underground.

Meanwhile, another six million people are members of the Catholic Patriotic Association, a Communist Party-controlled body which does not display images of Pope Francis.

The Vatican is pursuing friendly relations with Beijing as it believes it can do more to protect Chinese Catholics if it increases its involvement in the country via a unified Church.

An agreement between the two sides could also see diplomatic relations re-established between the Holy See and Beijing, which would be considered a breakthrough in Rome.

Fr Dong has been detained “many times” by authorities, and the open air Mass that was visited by The Telegraph was moved into his home the following week, amid fear that it would be shut down by authorities.

Standing next to the outside lavatories, with rubble and litter at his feet, a migrant worker who gave his surname as Pei said it was vital for the Vatican to stand up to Beijing’s demands.

“If the independent church is no longer allowed, I will just go home and pray,” he said. “There is only one road for us Catholics.”

BLASPHEMOUS REPRESENTATION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST - COURTESY OF CANADA'S CATHOLIC BISHOPS! JESUS AS A THUNDERBIRD!

Some truth!

Some reconciliation!

Vile, despicable demonic bishops!

Have a go at Canada's Bishops in the combox!



The "artist" below; attempts to make a justification of this blasphemy by mentioning the "holy Pelican" of St. Thomas Aquinas. This refers to the words, "Pie Pelicane, Jesu Domine" from his Eucharistic hymn, Adore te Devote. There was an ancient medieval myth that the mother pelican would strike its breast to release its blood to feed its babies. Because of the analogous sacrifice, this became a medieval symbol of Christ, sacrificing himself for us. The pelican was not Christ. The pelican was a pelican and it became a symbol for Christ in the sense of the sacrifice. The pelican was not hung on a cross and crucified! It remained a pelican!

This kind of irreligious imagery is what we have come to expect from the CCCB and the Vatican II heretics in general.

Enough!

Christian tradition is rich in imagery. The New Testament speaks of the Holy Spirit as appearing in the form of a dove and in parted tongues of fire. Catacomb and church art of the early Christian centuries depicted the victory of the cross with diverse symbols. Indeed, Thomas Aquinas' eucharistic poetry acclaims Jesus as "holy pelican", a bird said to tear open its breast to feed its starving young. To most of the Indian peoples of North America, the Thunderbird is a powerfully awesome messenger of the great God. Here, Thunderbird is the sacred sign of God's force-filled entry into the world.

God's eyes watch from the four directions, from above and below, from both wings, saying that God is all around us at all times. All races, black and yellow, red and white, are represented in the four colors taken from nature and found in the earth-circle and all over Thunderbird. Christ-as-Thunderbird, indying for us, restores happiness and understanding; he fills us with new dignity and great richness.

The chip marks all over remind us of the old days when axes were not known and ivory and stone were used instead. The black color comes from the charcoal of campfires; the white from volcanic ash; and the red from the clay of the riverbank.

Moslem hordes imprison Christians in Racca - the suffering and blood of these is on Obama, Trudeau, Merkel, Cameron and all western leaders! Will they now blame Assad and Putin?

The Moslem hoardes and followers of the desert devil, Mahomet, have imprisoned the Christians of Racca to use as human shields. The blame behind this is with Barack Hussein Obama and the rest of our Western cowardly leaders. More than three years have these people suffered while the United States and the West poured more gasoline on the fire by supporting Syrian rebels against the legitimate government of the Syrian Republic. The only time the tide has turned has been because of Russia and Putin. Now, these filthy Mohammedans (pig urine be upon them) have taken an entire city hostage. If the West bombs them, Christians will be killed. If there is an invasion, Christians will be slaughtered.

There is a warm place in Hell awaiting those who allowed this to happen.

Isis 'bans all Christians from leaving Raqqa' as military operations against group intensify in Syria

There was no explanation for the reported decree, which came after the group was driven out of Palmyra

Isis has reportedly forbidden all Christian and Armenian families from leaving its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa "under any circumstances" as military operations intensify.

The so-called Islamic State released a decree effectively keeping all members of the minorities under house arrest, Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS) said.

"We don't know the real reason but we think Isis want them as human shields or hostages," a spokesperson added.

Activists with the group, which documents atrocities in the Syrian city, counted 43 Christian families remaining on Thursday.

One of its members writing under the alias Abu Mohammed said the ban was implemented without any explanation at Easter, which they have been unable to celebrate for the past three years under the terrorist group's rule.

He wrote that most of the trapped families are poor workers who could not afford to move elsewhere even when they had the chance.

"They suffer from the decisions and practices of the organisation (Isis), which has occupied their places of worship while forcing them to pay tribute, although they are deprived from practicing their rituals and religious practices," Mr Mohammed said, saying they are also subject to regular harassment.

Rami Abdulrahman, from the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights cast doubt on the new order, saying Raqqa's entire population was already confined to the city.

“Isis stopped everybody leaving Raqqa. Muslims, not only Christians,” 

Most of Raqqa's former Christian and Armenian residents fled alongside other civilians and minorities when the city was seized from the Syrian regime by allied Islamist and opposition rebels in 2013.

Isis consolidated its hold the following year, sparking another wave of migration as its fighter executed Alawites and laid waste to Shia mosques and Christian and Armenian churches.

As with its other strongholds across Syria and Iraq, the group orders non-Sunni Muslims to convert, leave or remain on the condition they give up their property, pay special taxes (jizya) and sign a "dhimma" contact agreeing to abide by Sharia law.

Those who stay face increased scrutiny and surveillance, with accusations of public worship, attempting to convert others and other contraventions punishable by death.

This week's reported crackdown came amid a series of reported measures by Isis, which appears to be suffering the consequences of efforts by the US-led coalition to choke its revenue streams and infrastructure.

It has also been shaken by one of its biggest military defeats in Palmyra, which has been seized by regime forces and death of one of its top commanders.

RBSS said the group was making courses in taxi driving, medical care, engineering and other roles mandatory for all citizens in a suspected move to recruit more civilians.

Militants are also reportedly forcing more people to undergo courses in its ideology and jihad, while rationing electricity and temporarily cutting off water supplies as the humanitarian situation in the city deteriorates further.

Fighters' salaries were cut according to a decree issued earlier this year and the group is said to have become increasingly reliant on the US dollar after a failed attempt to start its own currency.

The US-led coalition said it conducted 27 strikes against Isis on Wednesday, mostly against tactical units and fighting positions in Iraq.

The group is not part of the current Syrian ceasfire, which does not apply to Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaeda affiliate, and other internationally recognised terrorist groups.

Isis has been dealt a series of blows in recent weeks, which have seen the death of one of its top commanders and the seizure of Palmyra by Syrian forces backed by Russian air strikes.

The ancient city lies more than 100 miles to the south-west of Raqqa but Russian state media said its capture could mark the start of a campaign to drive miltiants out of their de-facto capital.

It sits along a key motorway that links the two cities with Deir Ezzor, which is also seeing fierce fighting to dislodge Isis.

Brian Joseph Dunn, Bishop of Antigonish - To this bishop, the Catholic faith is not what is critical for the survival of Cape Breton!

Brian Joseph Dunn is the Bishop of the long-suffering Diocese of Antigonish on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.

Catholics in Antigonish were once arrested for kneeling for Holy Communion. They had to suffer the infiltration of homosexuals into the priesthood who sodomised and raped their boys. They even had to endure the sodomite former bishop, Raymond Lahey who had a collection of child pornography on his laptop computer where he was quite pleased to use it for his masturbatory fantasies.

Now, the Diocese is having a fire-sale of real estate:

Sale of Land and Real Estate in the Diocese of AntigonishThe Diocese of Antigonish is in the process of selling properties throughout the Diocese. This process is being undertaken as part of the Diocese commitment under the Class Action Legal Settlement Agreement. The properties that have been approved for sale, to date, are diverse in both location and property type. In some instances the properties include buildings and in other situations it is land only. The properties are being listed with local realtors in different areas of the diocese.

How pathetic that the Catholics of Antigonish have had to suffer at the hands of these rotten bishops, and yet; what have they, what have YOU Catholic of Antigonish - what have you done to fight for the Faith? 

The "dunn's" cap belongs to Dunn for his desire to have women ministers in the Catholic Church as just one example of his heterodoxy. The diocese is full of corrupted religious orders. A few years ago, a group of desperate Catholics brought in Michael Voris to speak to them and encourage them. Wrath came down upon them for that.

Canada is on the verge of euthanasia, indeed, courts have already ordered it even before the legislation. Abortion is rampant and without regulation. Churches of great history across Cape Breton have been closed. There are no vocations. The faith is dying.

With all of this, Brian Joseph Dunn, Bishop of Antigonish, successor to the filthy pervert Lahey, administrator of millions of dollars in damages due to sodomite priests writes a Letter to the Editor of the Cape Breton Post.

About euthanasia, you say? Maybe the scourge of abortion? A little FrancisMercy perhaps?

No friend; Trains! That's right, Trains!

A rail line, not the Catholic faith! A rail line is critical to Cape Breton's survival!

Dunn was born in 1955 in Newfoundland, another loss for the Church in Canada and hotbed of sodomite priests who raped and hundreds of boys. He would have grown up with these perverts as his teachers and mentors. They knew only how to destroy the faith. Dunn learned well from them, too bad for him and the suffering Catholics of Antigonish he didn't learn how to correct the errors since.

Methinks this train is short a caboose.

Rail line critical to Cape Breton’s survival

Published on April 01, 2016

I am writing to share my concern regarding the future of the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway.

The line’s current owner, Genesee and Wyoming, has applied to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board for permission to abandon the rail line.

This infrastructure is critical to the economic survival of Cape Breton. While the island’s traditional industries have ceased, a new sense of collaborative, entrepreneurial activity is pushing forward to create sustainable, long-term opportunities.

International shipping and finance companies have demonstrated interest for a new container terminal and I understand serious discussions are underway. Sydney Harbour has recently been dredged to support this new terminal. Donkin Mine presents new rail activity. Local manufactures and technology companies are currently supplying their products around the globe. A rail line is vital to the success of all these activities.

Statistics support rail as a more environmentally friendly and safer mode of freight transportation. Railways limit emissions, conserve fuel, and relieve highway congestion.

Our provincial government has subsidized the maintenance of this line for decades and if abandoned the current owner could sell the tracks and rail for substantial salvage value. I do not believe this to be fair to the taxpayers of Nova Scotia and ask this action be prohibited as discussions continue between Genesee and Wyoming and Harbour-Port Development Partners. The Scotia Rail Development Society has prepared a report worthy of your review.

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.

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!

Praise to the Paschal Victim!

A blessed Easter to all.

Behold your Mother

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.

Victor Orban of Hungary calls out the globalist antichrist!

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

 

Pope FrancisVerified account‏@Pontifex

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.
