<span data-mce-style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;" style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">This is the best book that I have read on the liturgy for several years. It would be difficult to recommend it too highly. Since the tsunami of Second Vatican Council slammed into the Church, the Church has experienced an unprecedented crisis propelled by the destruction of one of her greatest treasures, her immemorial sacred liturgy. The result has been confusion, dismay and devastation.<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div>
<span data-mce-style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;" style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span data-mce-style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;" style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">But to the dismay of our aging revolutionaries, recent decades have witnessed the growth of a counter-reformation led by the young who find in the Church's traditional liturgy a perennial witness to the orthodox faith, a rich source of grace for the interior life, an abundant spring of missionary activity and charity, and a living rock upon which the enemies of Christ, both without and within the Church, are dashed.<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div>
<span data-mce-style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;" style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span data-mce-style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;" style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Prof Peter Kwasniewski's book (Resurgent in the Midst of Crisis) is a scholarly, yet highly readable and accessible, study of this subject. Every concerned Catholic would benefit from reading this book prayerfully.</span></h3>

It is a spoof letter to the clergy from a layman. It is absolutely spot on. Unfortunately, I could not ascertain the blog author's name, so I cannot properly pay tribute to the author, however, by hitting the "GO TO ORIGINAL BLOG" button at the bottom, you will be taken to his or her blog - ed]</b></span><br />
<br />
The stench of sodomy is destroying the Church from the lowest pew to the Vatican. Countless souls are going to hell because of this vice, a vice so awful that even the Devil, having tempted men into committing this mortal sin, looks away in disgust. Unless these poor, wretched souls confess and receive absolution and amend their lives they will be eternally damned.<br />
<br />
There, Your Excellencies, Your Holinessses, Reverend Fathers, we've said it now so you don't have to. Now you can go back to what you were doing and not have to worry any longer about preaching against this vice. You can continue with your photo-ops, your meetings with the high and the mighty, you can revel in all the good press you will receive from the media and sodomite-friendly presidents, and you don't need to be bothered with telling anyone they are living in a state of mortal sin.<br />
<br />
We'll do that for you. We laymen, writers, bloggers, people in the pew...we'll relieve you of your duty to teach since you apparently aren't terribly interested in doing so. Don't preach sermons telling Catholics that contraception, abortion and sodomy are destroying souls and destroying countries. That's not your job. Your job is to train altar girls and make sure we're all participating at what you call a Mass and things like that.<br />
<br />
We'll take the hits, the lawsuits, the persecutions, the destruction of our livelihoods (perhaps even our lives, I guess) the opprobrium of the media and everyone else. We bakers and photographers will see our businesses ruined, our reputations torn to shreds, our bank accounts disappear simply for the pleasure of relieving you of the burden to teach faith and morals. And you don't even have to visit us in jail if you don't want to.<br />
<br />
We'll watch our own churches shun us, or former Catholic friends abandon us and our pastors studiously ignore us. We accept this because we know you don't wish to get your hands dirty by teaching the Faith. You can continue to golf, go to the movies, sit on your thrones, smell your sheep, get interviewed on TV, receive the goodwill of impostors, heretics, blasphemers and haters of Christ. Don't worry; we'll do your fighting for you.<br />
<br />
You have more important things to do. You have to scurry to Rome and share a glass of wine with the cowards who connive with our oppressors. You have to worry about the environment, about not saying anything Christ-like that might offend rabbis or Hindus (Heaven forbid that you try to convert them!), There are meetings with Happy Clubs and Happy Organizations you must address. You must extol diversity and Welcoming. This is what you must do.<br />
<br />
So please don't trouble yourselves about having anything to do with Catholicism. Continue to sit on your collective rumps and enjoy the cheers of the crowd.<br />
<br />
Because, as I said, I guess we'll have to do your job for you.<br />

<a href="http://www.thinkinghousewife.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dolan7n-4-web.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.thinkinghousewife.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dolan7n-4-web.jpg" height="293" width="400" /></a></div>
Do you like me squirm with embarrassment every time some senior cleric comes out with another pig ignorant statement? Cardinal Dolan provides a classic example of the sort of thing that I am alluding to. His recent assertion that ISIS was to Islam what the IRA is to Catholicism is not so much drivel, as drivel on stilts! What drives these ecclesiastical clowns to make such nonsensical statements? - that's easy to answer, it is the fog of post-Conciliar ecumaniac dogma. Since the Council it has become hard-core ecumaniac dogma that all religions are basically the same. Thus, all evidence to the contrary has to be hastily brushed under the carpet in order to maintain this patently ridiculous fantasy.<br />
<br />
Me thinks the Cardinal has been listening to far too much BBC secular propaganda. For starters what is Catholic about the IRA? And what is specifically Catholic about its cause (i.e. home rule). The leadership of Sinn Féin/IRA are hard left secularists, and that is about as far from Catholicism as one can get. Sinn Féin/IRA are currently campaigning for legalised abortion in Ireland, now that's a really obvious Catholic cause isn't it Cardinal Dolan? - duh!<br />
<br />
It is true of course that there will be Catholics in the rank and file of Sinn Féin/IRA, but that is because the IRA is fighting for a united independent Ireland. And it is invariably the indigenous people who provide the bulk of the support for home rule movements. The indigenous people of Ireland just happen to be Catholics. But the indigenous people of Ireland, if they were Baptists, Buddhists or Bahá'í, would still be supporting the Sinn Féin/ IRA - their Catholicism is irrelevant to this support. Further, has this ignorant cleric never read of the renowned Protestant, Charles Stewart Parnell, and his support for the Irish Home Rule movement, or of the equally celebrated Protestant, Robert Erskine Childers, involvement in the 1916 Easter Rising?<br />
<br />
But let us humour this ecclesiastical joker and just for argument's sake suppose that the leadership of Sinn Féin/IRA are exemplary Catholics campaigning for the Reign of Christ the King. I would like to ask the Cardinal a few questions: when was the last time he was frisked by a fat, bored security guard at JFK because the IRA or the Legion of Mary plotted to blow up a civilian airliner? Or when did he last have his toothpaste confiscated because the IRA, the Catholic Mothers Union or the St Vincent de Paul Society were plotting to blow him to smithereens in mid air?<br />
<br />
And remind me dear Cardinal, when was the last time the IRA auctioned off twelve-year-old Protestant girls as sex slaves to their followers? And while you are thinking about the answer to that one, perhaps your Eminence could tell us how many Protestant villages in Northern Ireland are now ghost towns because the IRA had murdered their entire male population, auctioned off their women and children as sex slaves, and blown up their churches, for no better reason than that they weren't Catholics? Perhaps you would also have a stab at telling me how many men have been thrown from the top floor of high rise buildings in Belfast by the IRA for no better reason than they happen to suffer from the disorder of same-sex attraction.<br />
<br />
It is well past time to remove the smog of post-Conciliar ecumaniac dogma and face up to what is no more than the bleeding obvious: Islam is a profoundly evil creed. ISIS is not following some radical version of Islam, they are just doing what their demonic religion mandates that all Muslims should be doing. To understand this one merely has to understand a couple of issues central to Islam.<br />
<br />
First up, Muslims believe that the Koran is literally dictated word-for-word by God through the Angel Gabriel. The first half of the Koran does indeed includes some noble sentiments along the lines of peace and tolerance. The second half of the Koran, however, mandates Muslims to fight and cut the throats (i.e behead) non-Muslims if they refuse to become Muslims or refuse to submit to Muslim rule. It also teaches that, no ifs no buts, Muslims have a religious mandate to kill Jews if they do not submit to Muslim rule. And what of those non-Muslims who, without becoming Muslims, submit to Muslim rule? - they must pay protection money for the rest of their lives to support their Muslim neighbours. This is why eighty percent of young male Muslims in Europe are on benefit; they regard it as their religious duty to live off the backs of non-Muslims. It is also the second half of the Koran that legitimises war rape, the taking of the wives and daughters of non-Muslims and using them as sex slaves. This attitude to non-Muslim women explains the Rochdale scandals and why, for example, 100% - yes you read that right, 100% - of the rapes carried out in Stockholm in 2014 were carried out by Muslims.<br />
<br />
Now here is the kicker: Islam is probably the only religion in the world that believes that God may change his mind. Further, when God changes his mind, his second command always abrogates his first command. Thus, all the blood-thirsty and licentious endorsing and promoting commands in the second half of the Koran abrogate the noble sounding commands in the first half - which is fine for young male oversexed Islamic psychopaths, but very unfortunate, to say the least, for the rest of us.<br />
<br />
The second issue one needs to get one's head round is that the Koran is not the be all and end all of the Islamic creed. The Koran tells us very little about Mohammed, but what it does say is critical, and what it does say is that Mohammed is the most perfect man to have ever lived. So what Mohammed said and did is extremely important to the devout Mohammedan. And where do we find out what Mohammed said and did? In the Hadith. Some of these Hadith are very extensive, one reaching nine volumes. The Hadith can be viewed as biographies of Mohammed; they represent "prophetic traditions", meaning the sum of the teachings, deeds and sayings of Muhammad.<br />
<br />
Now here is the second kicker. The Hadith records Mohammed had close to a couple of dozen "wives," many of them sex slaves taken from murdered enemies; he married a six-year-old girl and bedded her at the age of nine; he beheaded eight hundred unarmed Jewish captive; had women stoned to death; advocated amputation and floggings (even of wives) and much more in a similar cruel and licentious vein. So, ask yourself dear Cardinal, if God tells you that Mohammed is the most perfect of men and you learn that he did all of these things, what will you be wanting to do, or at the very least feel that you are perfectly entitled to be doing? Come on, Your Eminence, this is not rocket science!<br />
<br />
The son of the leader of Hamas recently converted to Christianity and has taken refuge in Israel. He summed it up perfectly when he said, "the worst terrorist in the world is Ala, the God of Islam." Of course there are people who we might be tempted to call good Muslims, but these are merely cultural Muslims, people who self-identify as Muslim but are either ignorant of the teachings of their creed or choose, because of their inherent decency, irrationally to ignore them. ISIS are the true "good" Muslims in the sense that they understand, embrace and follow through on the true teachings of Islam.<br />
<br />
Why does all this matter? Well dear Cardinal, unless one is prepared to set aside the fog of hard-core ecumaniac dogma and make the effort to truly know, understand and confront the enemy, who is now alas in our midst, we will inevitable lose the battle, not only for Catholicism, but for western liberal values in general.grahammoorhousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07823974786316836240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551738674729266769.post-74801432726369953442015-02-23T21:47:00.000+00:002015-02-23T21:47:03.962+00:00Understanding the heresy of Modernism is the key to understanding the current bizarre, sad state of the Church.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And there is no better place to start than by listening to the following lecture by the late great Michael Davies. The lecture is only about an hour in length, but if you listen intently, will result in numerous light bulbs switching on in your mind, and you will begin to understand the seeming endless madness currently coming down from on high.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This video from Louie Verrecchio comprehensively nails the lie that Vatican II was an integral part of the unbroken tradition of the Church. Listen to Louie Verrecchio with an open mind and it will be impossible for any fair-minded Catholic not to conclude that Vatican II contained some serious ruptures with past infallible teachings of the magisterium.</span><br />

The following letter was sent to Pro Ecclesia last December. Having done some investigation, it appears there is sufficient cause to be concerned at the direction Maryvale seems to be charting. I wish to remain anonymous but send you this information.<br />
<blockquote>
<i style="background-color: #ffe599;">Following the departure of the majority of the totally orthodox staff from the Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, the Institute has recruited new staff to replace those who left.</i><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>My Diocese was recommending the Maryvale Catechist Course to parish-ioners, below are details of information I sent the Diocese of my concerns.</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>

<i>Dear</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>... redacted part ...</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>In all honesty I have to tell you that I am very concerned about the ortho-doxy of the 'new' Maryvale Catechists Course.</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>The Maryvale website lists Marie Cooke as now responsible for the MCC</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><br /></span>
<i style="background-color: #ffe599;">(http://www.maryvale.ac.uk/index.php?id=240). It also states that she is doing a PhD part-time at Glasgow University.</i><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>A quick Google search indentifies that her thesis is inspired by 'Woman and Man: One in Jesus Christ' (http://mariecooke.wix.com/participationofwomen) - which is in favour of women priests and also that she is a forum moderator, and so presumably an active member and supporter, of ACTA (http://www.acalltoaction.org.uk/compoent/content/article/11-news/17-diocesan-forums).</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>The link to her thesis questionnaire website is taken from the Jan 2013 e-news of the www. catholic-womens-ordination.org.uk website.

<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>I heard two people on last year's MCC course at Maryvale who will not be returning to complete at Maryvale because of comments made by Marie at their last residential.</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>Based on just what is in the public domain I certainly would not now be happy sending people to start an MCC course at Maryvale as I would have no confidence in the orthodoxy of what would be taught.</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i><br /></i>
<i>Yours sincerely</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
<b>Background:</b> On 28th October, 2013, Dr Petroc Willey, Acting Director of Maryvale Institute, whom Pope Benedict XVI appointed Consultor to the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelisation, made public a letter which began:<br />
<br />
<i>“Dear Students</i><br />
<i>I am writing to let you know that for personal reasons I will soon be leaving Maryvale. A number of other staff here have also made a similar decision.”</i><br />
<br />
The “other staff” who left at the same time as Dr Willey were Dr Caroline Farey and Dr Andrew Beards who, along with Dr Willey, comprised the three most senior lecturers at Maryvale.<br />
<br />
Great was the consternation and conjecture over what was going on; rumour and counter-rumour flew thick and fast. One thing was clear; whatever had led to the three resignations was far more specific and important than the deliberately vague “personal reasons” revealed. It still appears to be the case that everyone involved in these events has remained close-mouthed and nothing much is publicly available.<br />
<br />
The three academics went on to form the School of the Annunciation at Buckfast Abbey, along with Deacon Nick Donnelly who used to write the blog, “Protect the Pope”. They offer courses on the Faith and a Diploma in Evangelisation.<br />
<br />
So, now we turn to the present and the concerns raised by our correspondent regarding Ms Marie Cooke.<br />
<br />
Having looked closely at the various resources and websites listed in the let-ter (and quite a few others), the following emerges:<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Ms Cooke is, indeed, Director of F.E. Courses with particular responsibility for the Maryvale Catechesis Course.<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Ms Cooke is pursuing a PhD. Based on an Australian ‘study’ conducted by the Australian Bishops Conference, “Woman and Man: One in Christ Jesus” which is openly in favour of and promotes the cause of Women’s ordination.<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It is no longer possible to access the online versions of her thesis ques-tionnaire. Bearing in mind that the working title of Ms Cooke’s doctoral thesis is “The Participation of Women in the Catholic Church”, it is probably not a pop-eyed conspiracy theory to surmise that she is, also, in favour of women’s ordination.<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Ms Cooke is the ACTA (A Call to Action) forum moderator for the Archdiocese of Glasgow. ACTA is a notoriously heretical organisation actively trying to undermine the Catholic Church from within by pro-moting sodomy, same-sex sham ‘marriage’, transsexualism, contracep-tion, abortion, married clergy and women’s ordination ... and did I men-tion she’s in charge of the Maryvale Catechesis Course?<br />
<br />
Far from being “A wolf in sheep’s clothing”, it would seem Ms Cooke is a wolf in wolf’s clothing with a great big red flashing neon sign above her head saying “Beware, Wolf!” Since all of the above is in the public domain, one can only assume that the current leadership of Maryvale is fully aware of her background, associations and views and, one must assume, approves of them.<br />
<br />
Whilst there are some who have raised question marks over the “totally orthodox” of the staff who have left, there is absolutely no doubt about Ms Cooke heretical and dissident agenda.grahammoorhousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07823974786316836240noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551738674729266769.post-37177604756243045242015-02-03T12:00:00.000+00:002015-02-16T18:46:35.345+00:00Just the sort of man Catholic parents would want invited to address their children ... notDuring the reign of Pope Benedict XVI, Fr Timothy Radcliffe was barred from speaking at the General Assembly of the Catholic development agencies, yet this notorious dissenter, has bizarrely been chosen to be one of the keynote speakers at, of all things, a Catholic Youth event to take place on the 7th March.<br />
<br />
Fr Radcliffe publicly dissents from the Church’s teaching on homosexuality and Holy Communion for the divorced and re-married, and frequently celebrated the Masses organised by the Soho Masses Pastoral Council for the "Catholic" wing of the militant homofascist collective. Fr Radcliffe is well known for his rebel positions on morality; writing about homosexuality, he opined:<br />
<blockquote>
<i>"We cannot begin with the question of whether it </i>[he must presumably be referring to sodomy here!]<i> is permitted or forbidden! We must ask what it means, and how far it is Eucharistic </i>[i.e. how far can sodomy be considered Eucharistic!]<i>. Certainly it can be generous, vulnerable, tender, mutual and non-violent. So in many ways, I would think that it can be expressive of Christ’s self-gift."</i></blockquote>
This statement is typical of the sort of low-ball dissenters bowl in the hope that it will slip under your bat. All arguments have a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion. If either premise is factually wrong then clearly the conclusion falls. The major premise here is <i>"We cannot begin with the question of whether it </i>[sodomy] <i>is permitted or forbidden!"</i> The obvious response, which Radcliffe hopes you are not bright enough to spot, is <i>"Why on earth not? If someone is indulging in an unnatural, unhealthy act, that over ninety percent of the world's population regards as depraved, of course we can begin with the question of whether it is right or wrong!"</i> Indeed, it should be blindingly obvious to anyone with more than one brain cell that this is precisely the first question that we should be asking. It is interesting to note that pedophiles use exactly the same argument to promote their personal preferred deviancy as Radcliffe uses above for homosexuality.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">I have recently been reliably informed that the man responsible for inviting this awful priest to talk to our young people is Fr Dominic Howarth. Fr Howarth can be contacted on 0126-828-1732 or emailed at </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="mailto:frdominic@dioceseofbrentwood.org" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">frdominic@<wbr></wbr>dioceseofbrentwood.org</a></span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">. Contact him and ask him politely what his motive is for inviting such a notorious dissenter to address Catholic youth.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Radcliffe spoke at a conference in Dublin in 2014. Some young Catholics voiced their objection to his presence by reciting the Rosary and were unceremoniously ejected from the hall. There is, however, some good news: this conference is an annual event, but in 2014 the attendance was down about 50% from the norm - it appears that young Catholics are growing weary of this tedious claptrap from these elderly dissenters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is also evidence of growing resistance from Catholic youth groups in the UK to this invitation, but there is no doubt that men like Fr Howarth and the rest of the bishops' Modernism enforcement czars will be using their usual strong-arm tactics on the leaders of these groups in an attempt to intimidate them into turning up. One can only pray that some of them at least will have the integrity and courage to resist. </div>
</div>
<br />
I have no doubt that when challenged, Fr Howarth, like the rest of his ilk, will resort to insults: such as denouncing anyone who challenges him as right-wing (whatever that means) or suggest that you are suffering from a fictional illness, homophobia; a word invented by Fascists and used by cowards to intimidate morons - and which is as silly as calling someone who opposes the promotion of bestiality a pet-phobic.<br />

Every time a joke and or cartoon is made about the Koran, the whole world turns upside down and we are all called racists! However, Muslims can do whatever they like and no one says a word<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the story of an Allied power that not only helped the Nazis to kill Jews but also slaughtered its own people on an industrial scale.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Its crimes have however been made a taboo by the West and the complete story of Europe's most murderous regime has never been told.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Soviet Story is a compelling examination of events that led to the proactive Nazi-Soviet collaboration before and during WW2.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some quarter of a million Jews died in Nazi occupied Poland. On the 8 February 1940 the Soviet NKVD handed over to the Gestapo Jewish Communists who had fled to the USSR seeking sanctuary. Margarete Buber-Neuman, who survived the Soviet GULAG and the Nazi death camp at Ravensbruck, wrote that conditions in the Soviet GULAG were worse even than in the Nazi camps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The BBC at the moment never misses an opportunity to mention that the Soviet army "liberated" Nazi concentration camps. What it does not tell you is that the Soviet Union did not destroy these camps, but continued to use them. Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen continued to operate under the Soviets up until as late as 1950!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Soviets also carried out the first mass killing in WW2, the Katyn massacre. At Katyn, the Soviets murdered more than 20,000 allied prisoners of war. The Soviet officers who did the killing were decorated. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many of the men who masterminded the Nazi holocaust have been brought to justice. I am actually proud that my parents' generation had the balls to hang the bastards. The hanging of Rudolf Hoss within the walls of Auschwitz by the Poles was particularly apposite.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">However, those responsible on the Soviet side, who organised the mass murder of around four times the number of innocent people as did the Nazis, will never be brought to justice; the reason, we have granted them immunity from prosecution! So the victims and their relatives have no hope of justice this side of the grave.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To learn the full story, purchase and watch the Soviet Story (see link below) and then circulate this information to as many people as possible. "The Soviet Story" is the most powerful antidote yet to the sanitisation of the past. The film is gripping, audacious and uncompromising.</span><br />

When Muslims are in a position of power, Kuffar are to be institutionally discriminated against and forced to adopt a second-class status, and must pay jizya, a poll-tax on all non-Muslim.

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Mohammed was born in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mecca</st1:place></st1:city><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>in approximately 570AD and claimed to
receive “revelations” from God via the archangel Gabriel (Gibril) from 610 to
632 when he died. In<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mecca</st1:place></st1:city><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>he
made only a handful of converts to his new religion (mostly his own relatives).
Arabs were a mixture of polytheists and animists at that time. The Kaaba (the
big black cube at the centre of the Grand Mosque in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mecca</st1:place></st1:city><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>today) was held as sacred and was a place
of pilgrimage for followers of a number of gods because of the meteorite that
is housed in it. One of those many gods was a moon deity called, “Allah”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">In 622AD Mohammed and his small band of followers migrated to
Yathrib (<st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Medina</st1:place></st1:city>)
where an Arab tribe had agreed to accept him as their prophet. Almost overnight
Mohammed went from being a nobody in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mecca</st1:place></st1:city><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>to being the leader of an armed, ruthless
and violent band. This event is known as the “Hijra” and is used to mark the
start of the Muslim calendar. This is very significant; unlike, for example,
Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism or Sikhism, Islam’s calendar dates not from the
birth of the founder but from the time military and political power (both purely
earthly concerns, obviously) was first achieved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">For the next ten years Mohammed’s followers waged unremitting war
and terrorism upon everyone who wasn’t them – there’s no other way of putting
it. By Mohammed’s death in 632AD, the entire<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:place w:st="on">Arabian Peninsula</st1:place><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>had
been conquered and islamised, turned (for the first time in its history) into
one polity with centralised control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Islamic history are:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">ii)</span><span style="font-family: '\'Times New Roman\''; font-size: 7pt;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Whenever Western Civilisation is weak, Islam will aggressively press

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Once again, there is so much that could be said here but we will concentrate
on highlighting, in no particular order, the main points of concern. The teachings
listed here are not opinion or interpretation of Islamic teachings, we are drawing
ONLY on mainstream Islamic texts, i.e. the Koran, Hadith and Sunna:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">ALL people are born Muslim, it is only through ignorance or wilfulness
that they do not openly accept Islam. Hence, those who convert to Islam from other
religions or from atheism are said by Muslims to have “reverted” to the only true
faith.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Islam HAS ALWAYS been the only religion on earth – Christianity and
Judaism are deliberately falsified versions of Islam - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses,
all the prophets and Jesus were ALL Muslim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">ALL non-Muslims – kuffar – are inferior to Muslims and are to be treated
with contempt and, when Muslims are not in a position of power, taken advantage
of whenever possible. When Muslims are in a position of power, kuffar are to be
institutionally discriminated against and forced to adopt<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>dhimmi</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>status, i.e. third-class subjects of the Muslim
state with no equality in (Muslim) law who must pay<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>jizya</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>, a non-Muslim poll tax as protection money
to the Islamic state; there is no legal penalty for killing a kafir (singular of
kuffar).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

half a what a man may; in legal disputes a woman’s testimony is worth only half
that of a man’s; men may divorce their wives simply by saying, “I divorce thee”
three times, a divorced wife has no rights to any financial support from her ex-husband;
men may have up to four wives; men may beat their wives; a wife has no right to
deny her husband sex under any circumstances, i.e. a man may rape his wife; all
children belong to their father, their mother has no rights over them; a woman who
claims to have been raped must provide four male witnesses to the alleged rape,
if she fails to do this she will be charged with adultery (punishable by stoning
to death in a number of Islamic countries today); a wife is classed as a part of
her husband’s chattels, i.e. she is an object that he wholly owns; kuffar women
may be kept as sex-slaves, there is no limit put upon their number; girls may be
married at the age of nine…….. (Hello, Western feminists? Anybody there?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">There is no objective moral code in Islam; what is “right” or “good”
is that which furthers the cause of Islam and individual Muslims, what is “wrong”
or “bad” is that which does not. Hence, for
example, lying –<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>“taqqiya” -</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>(especially to kuffar) is not only acceptable

awesome political and military leverage, plus, the simplest way of using it to
bring down, say, the US or Europe, is to detonate one or more nuclear warheads
at altitude (300 miles) over the target area to generate an Electromagnetic
Pulse (EMP). This will literally fry all electrical components within the EMP
cascade area, i.e. within line of sight of the detonation. Think about that –
nothing electrical will work, no vehicles (apart from pre-1970 models) will run,
no trains, no light, no communications, no computers, no aeroplanes, no fuel
transportation and distribution, no food distribution, no gas, no water.

This has to be one of the most interesting debates I've seen for many years. The interview is hosted by Chris Ferrara and the speaker is Robert Sungenis. The subject is geocentrism! To be honest, this is a subject that a couple of years ago I would have dismissed you as a crackpot for merely mentioning it.<br />
<br />
I have had dealing with Robert Sungenis in the past and regarded his views on some subjects as so patently silly that this has undermined my ability to listen to what he was saying when dealing with other subjects, which I acknowledge is flawed logic on my part. <br />
<br />
Chris Ferrara, on the other hand, is a man for whom I have enormous respect. Chris is an American lawyer whom I have heard speak on a number of occasions and he is always worth listening to. I also meet up with him annually on the famous Chartres pilgrimage. Had it not been for Chris hosting this interview, I don't think I would have been persuaded to listen to it. I'm mighty glad I did.<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b></div>
The first and most important thing to be said about Islam is that it is totally incompatible with Western Civilisation. Islam cannot, under any possible circumstances ever be compatible or consistent with Western Civilisation – the very notion that it can is, literally, impossible and anyone who maintains it is either:</div>
<ul>
<li>Hopelessly ignorant of the history, doctrines and practice of Islam, or </li>
<li>A liar who intends you, your family and everyone you know harm. </li>
</ul>
Let’s start by disposing of one of the most widely promulgated, yet most obviously absurd falsehoods regarding Islam, which can be summed up as follows: <strong>“Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists who pervert the true, peaceful teachings of Islam; the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful.”</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>“Islam is a religion of peace”</strong> – No, it’s not. The most cursory exercise of rational thought should be enough to bury this lie:<br />
<ul>
<li>With the possible exceptions of Mexico and North Korea, the most violent and dysfunctional countries in the world are all either Islamic or have a sizeable Muslim population.</li>
<li>There are Islamic wars of aggression and terrorist campaigns going on right now in: Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir, Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, Mali, Niger, Chad, Zanzibar, Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Chechnya, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Xinjiang.</li>
<li>Almost all terrorist groups in the world are explicitly Islamic. Nobody is being delayed for hours at airports, having their nail clippers and shampoo confiscated and then being felt-up by bored security personnel because militant Methodists have a tendency to hijack planes.</li>
<li>In both war and terrorism (in Islam it’s all the same) Muslims clearly, plainly, explicitly and consistently explain and justify their actions with orthodox Islamic doctrine. Try naming any Christian counterpart.</li>
<li>In all the current Islamic wars and terrorism, the victims are other Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Animists, Secular States and Atheists. The one thing that all these different conflicts have in common is Islam.</li>
<li>Individuals, organisations and governments are afraid to debate or discuss the unsavoury nature of Islam because Muslims have shown time and time again that they will murder people who do. This is unarguable by any honest person. Further, the de facto implementation of sharia through “hate speech” laws in the suicidal West and the almost universal cowardice regarding speaking honestly about Islam for fear of being thought a “racist” or “islamophobe” or, at the least, “not nice” means very few people are ever exposed to rational, factual, evidence-based discussion of Islam.</li>
</ul>
<strong>“Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists” </strong>– No, it’s not and, no, it hasn’t:<br />
<ul>
<li>Look again at the list of countries where Muslims are waging war against anyone not Muslim or not sufficiently Muslim; that’s a lot of manpower. It’s, also, an awful lot of very different countries in which to find the same “tiny minority of extremists”.</li>
<li>As stated above, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hizballah, ISIS, Islamic Jihad, Palestine Liberation Front, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, etc, etc, (it’s a VERY long list), ALL state categorically that they are beheading, bombing, shooting, stabbing, raping, kidnapping and selling infidel children into sex-slavery for the greater glory of Allah and back it up with numerous scripturally and (in Islamic terms) theologically correct references from orthodox, mainstream Islam. They do not cite fringe, lunatic interpretations of Islamic teaching but the original sources – the Koran, Hadith (the sayings and doings of Mohammed) and the Sunna (the life of Mohammed).</li>
<li>Lee Rigby’s cowardly murderers quoted directly from the Koran on camera no less than 22 times after hacking him to death and attempting to decapitate him to ‘explain’ and ‘justify’ their act; shortly after, the world renowned Islamic scholar and Koranic <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>exegete, David Cameron, informed us piously that, “There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act”</li>
<li>Bearing that last point in mind, the Jihadists (those who actually do the beheading, bombing, etc) are following exactly the same teachings with exactly the same interpretations as the, so-called, “moderate Muslims”. So, the only difference between “moderate Muslims” and “a tiny minority of extremists” is the means they choose to employ, they both share the same end, i.e. total global conquest. The linked article below expands on this vitally important point: <a href="http://www.meforum.org/3802/moderate-islam" target="_blank">http://www.meforum.org/3802/moderate-islam</a></li>
</ul>
<strong>“Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists who pervert the true, peaceful teachings of Islam” </strong>– No, it’s not. No, it hasn’t and, no, they don’t:<br />
<ul>
<li>The vast majority of Westerners know absolutely nothing about Islam and yet come out with idiotic statements like the one above all the time. How many people who make these factually incorrect, vacuous, politically correct statements are even slightly familiar with the Koran (in more than one translation), The Hadith Qudsi, Hadith Sahih Bukhari, Sirat Rasul Allah and the Umdat al-Salik? Answer: Usually, none. What very few Westerners know or understand is that, unlike the Bible, the Koran is not organised chronologically; the chapters, Sura, are arranged from the longest to the shortest. It was written in two sections, the first written in Mecca, the “Meccaniya” when Mohammed had only a handful of followers and no real influence. It is in this section you will find most of the ‘peaceful’ verses of the Koran. Having said that, the famous and often quoted, “Let there be no compulsion in religion” 2:256, was written shortly after Mohammed arrived in Medina but before he had established his power-base.</li>
<li>The second section of the Koran was written in Medina, the “Mediniya” when Mohammed had rapidly become a powerful military and political leader. This section contains almost all the violent verses outlining Islam’s permanent mission of divinely sanctioned global conquest and the subjugation of all non-believers worldwide.</li>
<li>The key point about this dual nature of the Koran’s contents comes to light once you know about the doctrine of “Abrogation” (al-nāsikh wal-mansūkh). This doctrine is just one of many features that make Islam truly unique among world religions. Put simply, abrogation means that Allah can change his mind, issuing a command – through Mohammed, naturally – that, literally, is the exact opposite of a previous command. The “revelation” made later supersedes and abrogates the previous “revelation”…….forever.</li>
<li>ALMOST ALL of the violent, supremacist verses in the Koran come after the Meccaniya and, thereby, abrogate them, forever, especially Sura 9 verse 5, known as “The verse of the Sword”, which is regarded by most Islamic scholars as either the last or next to last of all Allah’s “revelations” to Mohammed: <strong><em>"So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them." </em></strong></li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
To explain:“slay” means kill. “idolaters” means anyone not Muslim. “wherever you find them” means just that i.e. all non-Muslims everywhere. “take them captive” means kidnap and use as slaves. “lie in wait for them in every ambush” means to pre-emptively use sneak-attacks. “if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them." means, “if they convert to Islam, let them go”. Throughout Islamic history this verse has been interpreted as an open-ended commission to conquer the whole world for Islam, it is still interpreted that way today and accepted as such by all schools of Islam, Sunni or Shia. And we can see this verse being obeyed to the letter by Muslims all over the world every single day. Because of the ‘jumbled-up’ assembly of the Koran, the violent and ‘tolerant’ verses are mixed together, leaving the average non-Muslim, with no knowledge of the Meccaniya, Mediniya or the doctrine of abrogation, unable to make any sense of it at all.</blockquote>
<strong>“Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists who pervert the true, peaceful teachings of Islam; the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful”</strong> - No, it’s not. No, it hasn’t. No, they don’t and, no, they aren’t and, even if they were, it would be irrelevant:<br />
<blockquote>
Bearing in mind the point made earlier, the Jihadists (those who actually do the beheading, bombing, etc) are following exactly the same teachings with exactly the same interpretations as the, so-called, “moderate Muslims”. So, the only difference between “moderate Muslims” and “a tiny minority of extremists” is the means they choose to employ, they both share the same end, i.e. total global conquest. We can see that “peaceful” Muslims can only be one of three things:<br />
<ul>
<li>Muslims who choose (at present) to use non-violent means to achieve a position where violence will be successful later on the way to world conquest.</li>
<li>Muslims who are ignorant of the basic teachings of Islam.</li>
<li>Muslims who choose to ignore the basic teachings of Islam and are, therefore, no longer Muslims.</li>
</ul>
There have been a very large number of polls taken of Muslim populations all over the world; the results are remarkably consistent. Averaged out across all countries, between 15% and 25% of Muslims actively support warfare and terrorism in the cause of Jihad. In officially Islamic countries, that figure is far higher. There are approximately 1.6 billion Muslims, that means between 240 and 400 million Muslims actively approve of and support Jihad. 240 million is almost four times the population of the U.K., 400 million is greater than the total population of the U.S. Yes, that is a ‘minority’ of the world’s Muslims, but does that make you feel any safer? The German population at the start of WWII was around 80 million – the total population of the Axis Countries (Germany, Japan, Italy) was around 174 million in 1939. <br />
Just look at history; every totalitarian movement that has ever existed was propelled by “a tiny minority of extremists” and enabled by a vast “peaceful” majority: <br />
<ul>
<li>The Jacobins and the sans-culottes were a tiny minority; the vast majority of French were peaceful.</li>
<li> The Nazis were a tiny minority; the vast majority of Germans were peaceful.</li>
<li> The Bolsheviks were a tiny minority; the vast majority of Russians were peaceful.</li>
<li> The Chinese Communists were a tiny minority; the vast majority of Chinese were peaceful.</li>
<li> The Bushido military cultists were a tiny minority; the vast majority of Japanese were peaceful.</li>
<li> The “vast majority of peaceful Muslims” are, at best, irrelevant and, at worst, the enablers of the, anything but, “<em>tiny</em> minority of extremists”.</li>

<span style="font-size: 15px;">Some readers have asked whether I might be hurting the cause by being so outspoken. This I acknowledge to be a legitimate concern. The short answer is that we have tried being nice for forty years, yet we are now in a far worse situation than when we started. So, there is not a scrap of evidence that being nice works.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">The longer answer is that I believe one should tell the truth even if, in the short term, this would appear to be counter productive. One could legitimately say to Christ, <i>"Apologise for flogging the money changers from the temple, show more sensitivity to animal lovers, and stop insulting the self-serving cabal within the leadership of your church, and you may do more good."</i> Superficially you would be right: Christ could have avoided crucifixion and carried on preaching for another decade or two. But in the long-term would it have been good advice? Absolutely not! I believe that telling the truth will always, in the end, prove the better option, however distasteful some find it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">This self-serving Modernist cabal infesting our hierarchy are not just a bunch of funny clerics with a philistine penchant for pop-hymns, or socially awkward shepherds who always manage to embarrass us by making the wrong joke at the wrong time. Their role as our shepherds gives them enormous power; this, in turn, has empowered them to cause immense damage to Catholicism, and this they most certainly have done. We cannot refuse to talk about them simply because the only things we could say would not be “nice”. We can’t allow these post-Conciliar Judases to go on spewing their traitorous rubbish, and assist them in their destruction of the faith of Christ's little ones with our silence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">The duty of a Christian to Christ comes before the worldly, yet understandable, desire to be nice. Silent niceness does not save souls, the works that come from faith do. We can’t just say: <i>“I refuse to talk openly about clerics who are destroying the Church, because it would conflict with my duty to be nice”</i>. Niceness is not a religion! When heresy invades our chanceries, niceness should go out the window. If you wake up to find an intruder in your house, your first duty is not to be nice! Your first duty is to defend your wife and children from harm and remove the intruder from your home, violently if needs be.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Those who criticise me usually see all the problems as clearly as I see them. They see the sabotage and lament the devastation of the Lord's Vineyard as deeply as I do. They see the open treason. They see the anti-Catholic poison spewing openly from our chanceries. Well, then, this is clearly not the time to be silent, or nice. This is the time to be militant and for calling a spade a spade.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">The way we comment on blogs and in magazines matters, as well as our conversations with colleagues in the office, likewise our conversations with fellow Catholics after Mass. Those who hear us may go home and remark to their wives or husbands or children, about what they heard said of these wolves in sheep's clothing. So the next time your bishop says something stupid (the day after reading this, probably), the statement of the good Catholic guy at the office or on the church porch will immediately be recalled.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">The way we talk with our friends and acquaintances, and with our relatives matters. It matters because, if enough of us take the gloves off and demand our Church back it will, in time, shift the perception of Catholic of these post-Conciliar Judases away from indifference or even that some of them are “the best thing since sliced bread” to the far more truthful “These men are the Sons of Satan!”. Furthermore, it will also help your soul, because to fall silent in the face of evil in the name of niceness will not earn you any brownie points on the Day of Judgement!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Many of our bishops are openly in bed with the enemy; if your bishop is in bed with the enemy, he is a traitor, and he is the enemy. You can’t just sit around and say nothing. If your bishop is in bed with the enemy for the sake of his own self-aggrandizement, he must be called out for what he is: a worldly attention whore, a faithless idiot, and an enemy of Christ and His Church. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Forget niceness. When your mum told you that, “If you don’t have anything nice to say it’s better not to say anything at all”, she did not mean you to be silent in the face of great evil.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">In summary, there are only three options in the face of this evil: </span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">1. Silence, which would be a sin against charity, both to our fellow sheep and to the wayward shepherds themselves. How can the sheep guard themselves against being led into error by errant pastors? How can the errant pastors come to the realisation they have betrayed their own flock and are in dreadful danger unless they repent and return to the straight path?</span></blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">2.Lying, which would be climbing onto the descending escalator to Satan’s reception desk to stand alongside the enemies of the Church, the clerical charlatans and Episcopal Judases themselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 15px;">3.</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">Telling the truth. Telling the truth in the face of the massive silent (and not so silent) apostasy of so many of our shepherds at this hour will inevitably and unavoidably mean being brutal, there just is no nice way to tell a man he is a faithless traitor.</span><span style="font-size: 15px;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span></blockquote>
I choose to tell the truth.<br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">P.S. Just as at the time of the Arian crisis, God will ensure that the faithful remnant are not left orphans, there will always be some good men, some St John Fishers in the hierarchy. We must seek out these men and give them our unwavering support, and remember them in our prayers and daily Rosary.</span><br />

<a href="http://www.barnhardt.biz/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/st-bibiana-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.barnhardt.biz/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/st-bibiana-2.jpg" height="400" width="297" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">St Bibiana was a young woman of Roman nobility who lived in the Fourth Century. The wicked Roman emperor, Julian the Apostate, executed her parents and sister for being Christians, and then turned Bibiana over to the owner of a brothel named Rufina. Rufina, a pagan, was very skilled in recruiting and tricking girls into the sex trade, but Bibiana never wavered or faltered. Bibiana, you see, was a CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST. When it became clear to Rufina, and then Julian, that they would get nowhere with Bibiana and that she would never, ever compromise on the FUNDAMENTALS OF CHRISTIANITY by either acknowledging in even the smallest way the pagan “gods”, or in matters of pagan sexual mores ( unlike some of the participants in the recent synod from Hell), Julian had Bibiana tied to a column and flogged to death with a metal tipped whip.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The above, elsewhere on the Web, moved a Vietnam vet to write the following: <i>"I confess that had not heard of St. Bibiana, but I know of a Roman Catholic who walked that walk. In the Mekong Delta in 1970, the VC would kidnap villagers to use them as porters or prostitutes. One girl who was kidnapped would not cooperate with the VC. She fought them, bit, scratched, kicked, screamed and made a general nuisance of herself. You see, she was a Roman Catholic. She would not cooperate with them in any way. The VC finally brought her back to her village and hung her on the barbed wire perimeter. It was the dry season. The VC disemboweled her near an ant hill. She cried out. Every time a villager went out to rescue her he was shot at or shot. A soldier finally put her out of her misery from within the compound. I wish I knew that girl’s name, but I know the exact spot where she died because the village erected a memorial to her."</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dear St Bibiana and the Vietnamese lass mentioned above whose name is known to God, in an age when bishops and even cardinals bow before the gods of pagan sexuality and the bizarre gender agenda of the Zeitgeist, pray for us, the faithful remnant. </span>grahammoorhousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07823974786316836240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551738674729266769.post-59504664718724091792014-12-01T17:19:00.003+00:002014-12-01T17:25:17.094+00:00This ad is a deeply moving work of art<span style="font-size: large;">Most ads are banal and forgettable.

<em><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333;">During the
Synod there had been moments of obvious manipulation on the part of some
clerics who held key positions in the editorial and governing structure of the
Synod. The interim report (Relatio post disceptationem) was clearly a
prefabricated text with no reference to the actual statements of the Synod
fathers. In the sections on homosexuality, sexuality and “divorced and
remarried” with their admittance to the sacraments the text represents a
radical neo-pagan ideology. This is the first time in Church history that such
a heterodox text was actually published as a document of an official meeting of
Catholic bishops under the guidance of a pope, even though the text only had a
preliminary character. Thanks be to God and to the prayers of the faithful all
over the world that a consistent number of Synod fathers resolutely rejected
such an agenda; this agenda reflects the corrupt and pagan mainstream morality
of our time, which is being imposed globally by means of political pressure and
through the almost all-powerful official mass media, which are loyal to the
principles of the world gender ideology party. Such a synod document, even if
only preliminary, is a real shame and an indication to the extent the spirit of
the anti-Christian world has already penetrated such important levels of the
life of the Church. This document will remain for the future generations and
for the historians a black mark which has stained the honour of the Apostolic
See. Fortunately the Message of the Synod Fathers is a real Catholic document
which outlines the Divine truth on family without being silent about the deeper
roots of the problems, i.e. about the reality of sin. It gives real courage and
consolation to Catholic families. Some quotations: “</span></span></em><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: large;">We think of the burden imposed by life
in the suffering that can arise with a child with special needs, with grave
illness, in deterioration of old age, or in the death of a loved one. We admire
the fidelity of so many families who endure these trials with courage, faith,
and love. They see them not as a burden inflicted on them, but as something in
which they themselves give, seeing the suffering Christ in the weakness of the
flesh. … Conjugal love, which is unique and indissoluble, endures despite many
difficulties. It is one of the most beautiful of all miracles and the most
common. This love spreads through fertility and generativity, which involves
not only the procreation of children but also the gift of divine life in
baptism, their catechesis, and their education<em>. …</em><span class="apple-converted-space"><i> </i></span>The presence of the family of
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in their modest home hovers over you<em>”. </em></span></span></div>

Archbishop Forte had been the author of the controversial Relatio post disceptationem, around which there has been heated controversy within and outside the Synod Hall.

Besides Forte, Bishop Meini of Fiesole ran for the office of Vice President. For the more famous Forte, the "duel" should have been a walk in the park, especially since he is Pope Francis "blue eyed boy": no bishop could seriously doubt what Forte had written in the interim and final report of the Synod, had not been approved by the Pope. Nevertheless, in the first ballot Forte failed to reach the necessary quorum. In the runoff, the fact that Forte had fallen from favour became abundantly clear. Only 60 votes were cast for him, but 140 votes were cast for Bishop Mario Meini of Fiesole: 30 per cent for Forte, 70 percent for his challenger! The electoral defeat makes Forte papal appointment as chairman of the Bishops' Conference almost impossible .<br />
<br />
It is too soon to acclaim this as good news for the Church; it's almost certainly not, because so little that comes out of Rome at the moment is. However, genuine Catholics can surely be allowed to celebrate the defeat of one more worldly, faithless liberal.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It was supposed to be a shining moment for proponents of the interfaith movement.</span></div>
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Islamic “jummah,” or Friday call to prayer, would be held on America’s grandest Christian stage – the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a bold move that had never been tried. Leaders of the Episcopal cathedral said sending prayers up to Allah from a Christian church would show the world that two religions at odds with each other for centuries could “approach the same God” as one body of believers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The stage was set. The prayer rugs were neatly arranged facing Mecca. The lights shone down on the imam for his opening remarks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Not so fast.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Christine Weick, a 50-year-old Michigan woman with flowing blonde hair who lives out of her car, rose from the packed National Cathedral, the hall of halls in terms of religious prominence in America, and moved toward the front of the church.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She pointed to the cross hanging overhead.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That cross seemed to be the one thing nobody wanted to look at, she told WND Saturday in an exclusive interview.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Muslims had set up their prayer rugs in such a way that their backs were turned on the cross, which they consider an alien religious symbol. Jesus was a prophet but was not the son of God and never died on a Roman cross, according to Muslim teaching. Yet, they found themselves staring at a woman who demanded the cross become the center of attention. She then blurted out the message she had traveled all the way from Tennessee to deliver.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Jesus Christ died on that cross. He is the reason we are to worship only Him. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior,” she said. “We have built …allowed you your mosques in this country. Why don’t you worship in your mosques and leave our churches alone? We are a country founded on Christian principles.”</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">IT'S DEAD SIMPLE REALLY</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static3.demotix.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/a_scale_large/1500-1/photos/1351333019-tens-of-thousands-turn-out-for-taiwans-gay-pride-parade--taipei_1552481.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="http://static3.demotix.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/a_scale_large/1500-1/photos/1351333019-tens-of-thousands-turn-out-for-taiwans-gay-pride-parade--taipei_1552481.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>God has designed our bodies to identify, attack and kill anything foreign (like germs) that enter our bodies. This is called our immune system.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> Consequently, a</span> woman's body would attack and kill her husband's sperm and even the new baby (which are both foreign to her body), if it wasn't for something quite miraculous: God has given sperm the power to turn off the woman's immune system. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If a man leaves his sperm in the body of another man, the sperm, not knowing that it has been left in the wrong place, still turns off the immune system. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>God has wonderfully designed a woman's body, so that this "turning off" is limited to her vagina and womb. Unfortunately, a man's body is not able to limit this, and the autoimmune system for his whole body is turned off!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>To make matters even worse, the lower bowel is absorbent, meaning that immunosuppressive agents in the sperm are absorbed into the male body rapidly. The vagina on the other hand is not absorbent, quite the opposite in fact.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This explains why homosexuals become ill and often die young from awful diseases like AIDs, syphilis, gonorrhoea, HPV and many many others dreadful illness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">7. So now you know why the average life expectancy of a homosexual is considerably less than that of a chain smoker.</span><br />

I am going to repost something relatively recent tomorrow, from May of this year, because it is so incredibly important, and, once again, extremely prescient since the disastrous, heretical Synod mess of a few weeks ago. First, several points to make everything as blunt, forthright and clear as humanly possible.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1. The title “The Cool Kids don’t actually believe any of that bullshit…” stays. There are all manner or references to fecal matter in scripture, and I insist that one and all be confronted with the full strength of the contempt and rage that these people give every possible indication of having for the Truth. “Stuff” doesn’t cut it. “Stuff” is neutral. They don’t think it is “stuff”. They think it is BULLSHIT.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
2. Beaver, let’s go into my den and have a talk. Man to man.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Okay. Pope Francis Bergoglio is dumb. He is an unintelligent man. He washed out of a doctorate program in Germany in the ’70s because he couldn’t hack it, which is saying something indeed, because the ’70s weren’t exactly intellectually rigorous. His extemporaneous speech is incoherent, wandering, rambling, nonsensical fog banks of thought. I have been told from EYEWITNESSES to his “sermonettes” every morning in Rome that he will literally lose his train of thought in mid-sentence (not that he actually speaks in COMPLETE sentences mind you), stand staring into space for 20 seconds, and then pick up on a completely different train of thought. His statements are staggeringly idiotic pastiches of meaningless buzz words, catchphrases and tropes. In other words, he speaks like the typical dimwitted 1970s Jesuit, post-modernist that he is. Just two examples from the past couple of weeks are these gems: “Corruption is worse than sin” and “Judas Iscariot wasn’t the worst sinner among the Apostles”. These are terrifying in their stupidity. Corruption IS a sin, so how can sin be worse than sin? And Judas Iscariot betrayed our Lord and then COMMITTED SUICIDE. I wonder, which of the other Apostles could beat suicide and Deicide? Hmmm. Maybe Saint Andrew smiled insincerely, like a flight attendant, once. These are just two tiny examples from the past couple of weeks. I have also been told secondhand that people who have been inside the living quarters at the lavish, massive new papal suite (in as much as TWO ENTIRE FLOORS can be called a mere “suite”) that Pope Bergoglio immediately commissioned (in his dazzling, dazzling humility) that there are NO BOOKS. The man doesn’t read. Anything. Including these documents that come across his desk. This may be a function of trying to establish plausible deniability, but it is also probably because dumb people find reading to be hard.</div>

<b>The Church and the world do urgently need intrepid and candid witnesses of the whole truth of the commandment and of the will of God, of the whole truth of Christ’s words on marriage. Modern clerical Pharisees and Scribes, those bishops and cardinals who throw grains of incense to the neo-pagan idols of gender ideology and concubine, will not convince anyone to either believe in Christ or to be ready to offer their lives for Christ - said + Athanasius Schneider Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana, Kazakhstan in interview with Izabella Parowicz. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Your Excellency, what is Your Excellency’s opinion about the Synod? What is its message to families?</b><br />
<br />
During the Synod there had been moments of obvious manipulation on the part of some clerics who held key positions in the editorial and governing structure of the Synod. The interim report (Relatio post disceptationem) was clearly a prefabricated text with no reference to the actual statements of the Synod fathers. In the sections on homosexuality, sexuality and “divorced and remarried” with their admittance to the sacraments the text represents a radical neo-pagan ideology. This is the first time in Church history that such a heterodox text was actually published as a document of an official meeting of Catholic bishops under the guidance of a pope, even though the text only had a preliminary character. Thanks be to God and to the prayers of the faithful all over the world that a consistent number of Synod fathers resolutely rejected such an agenda; this agenda reflects the corrupt and pagan main stream morality of our time, which is being imposed globally by means of political pressure and through the almost all-powerful official mass media, which are loyal to the principles of the world gender ideology party. Such a synod document, even if only preliminary, is a real shame and an indication to the extent the spirit of the anti-Christian world has already penetrated such important levels of the life of the Church. This document will remain for the future generations and for the historians a black mark which has stained the honour of the Apostolic See. Fortunately the Message of the Synod Fathers is a real Catholic document which outlines the Divine truth on family without being silent about the deeper roots of the problems, i.e. about the reality of sin. It gives real courage and consolation to Catholic families. Some quotations: “We think of the burden imposed by life in the suffering that can arise with a child with special needs, with grave illness, in deterioration of old age, or in the death of a loved one. We admire the fidelity of so many families who endure these trials with courage, faith, and love. They see them not as a burden inflicted on them, but as something in which they themselves give, seeing the suffering Christ in the weakness of the flesh. … Conjugal love, which is unique and indissoluble, endures despite many difficulties. It is one of the most beautiful of all miracles and the most common. This love spreads through fertility and generativity, which involves not only the procreation of children but also the gift of divine life in baptism, their catechesis, and their education. … The presence of the family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in their modest home hovers over you”.<br />
<br />
<b>Those groups of people who had been expecting a change in the Church’s teaching with regard to the moral issues (e.g. allowing divorced and remarried people to receive Holy Communion or granting any form of approval for homosexual unions) were probably disappointed by the content of the final Relatio. Isn’t there, however, a danger that questioning and discussing issues that are fundamental for the Church’s teaching may itself open doors for serious abuses and for similar attempts to revise this teaching in the future?</b><br />
<br />
In fact a Divine commandment, in our case the sixth commandment, the absolute indissolubility of the sacramental marriage, a Divinely established rule, means those in a state of grave sin cannot be admitted to Holy Communion. This is taught by Saint Paul in his letter inspired by the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 11, 27-30, this cannot be put to the vote, just as the Divinity of Christ would never be put to a vote. A person who still has the indissoluble sacramental marriage bond and who in spite of this lives in a stable marital cohabitation with another person, by Divine law cannot be admitted to Holy Communion. To do so would be a public statement by the Church nefariously legitimizing a denial of the indissolubility of the Christian marriage and at the same time repealing the sixth commandment of God: “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. No human institution not even the Pope or an Ecumenical Council has the authority and the competency to invalidate even in the slightest or indirect manner one of the ten Divine commandments or the Divine words of Christ: “What therefore God has joined together, let man not separate (Math 19:6)”. Regardless of this lucid truth which was taught constantly and unchangingly - because unchangeable - through all the ages by the Magisterium of the Church up to our days as for instance in “Familiaris consortio” of Saint John Paul II, in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and by Pope Benedict XVI, the issue of the admissibility to Holy Communion of the so called “divorced and remarried” has been put to the vote in the Synod. This fact is in itself grievous and represents an attitude of clerical arrogance towards the Divine truth of the Word of God. The attempt to put the Divine truth and the Divine Word to a vote is unworthy of those who as representatives of the Magisterium have to hand over zealously as good and faithful rules (cf. Math 24, 45) the Divine deposit. By admitting the “divorced and remarried” to Holy Communion those bishops establish a new tradition on their own volition and transgressing thereby the commandment of God, as Christ once rebuked the Pharisees and Scribes (cf. Math 15: 3). And what is still aggravating, is the fact that such bishops try to legitimize their infidelity to Christ’s word by means of arguments such as “pastoral need”, “mercy”, “openness to the Holy Spirit”. Moreover they have no fear and no scruples to pervert in a Gnostic manner the real meaning of these words labeling at the same time those who oppose them and defend the immutable Divine commandment and the true non-human tradition as rigid, scrupulous or traditionalist. During the great Arian crisis in the IV century the defenders of the Divinity of the Son of God were labeled “intransigent” and “traditionalist” as well. Saint Athanasius was even excommunicated by Pope Liberius and the Pope justified this with the argument that Athanasius was not in communion with the Oriental bishops who were mostly heretics or semi-heretics. Saint Basil the Great stated in that situation the following: “Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert” (Ep. 243).<br />
<br />
In fact the bishops who support Holy Communion for “divorced remarried” are the new Pharisees and Scribes because they neglect the commandment of God, contributing to the fact that out of the body and of the heart of the “divorced remarried” continue to “proceed adulteries” (Math 15: 19), because they want an exteriorly “clean” solution and to appear “clean” as well in the eyes of those who have power (the social media, public opinion). However when they eventually appear at the tribunal of Christ, they will surely hear to their dismay these words of Christ: “Why are you declaring my statutes and taking my covenant in your mouth? Seeing you hate instruction, and cast my words behind you, … when you have been partaker with adulterers” (Ps 50 (49): 16-18).<br />
<br />
The final Relatio of the Synod also unfortunately contains the paragraph with the vote on the issue of Holy Communion for “divorced remarried”. Even though it has not achieved the required two third of the votes, there remains nevertheless the worrying and astonishing fact that the absolute majority of the present bishops voted in favor of Holy Communion for the “divorced and remarried”, a sad reflection on the spiritual quality of the catholic episcopacy in our days. It is moreover sad, that this paragraph which hasn’t got the required approval of the qualitative majority, remains nevertheless in the final text of the Relatio and will be sent to all dioceses for further discussion. It will surely only increase the doctrinal confusion among the priests and the faithful, being in the air, that Divine commandments and Divine words of Christ and those of the apostle Paul are put at the disposal of human decision making groups. One Cardinal who openly and strongly supported the issue of Holy Communion for “divorced and remarried” and even the shameful statements on homosexual “couples” in the preliminary Relatio, was dissatisfied with the final Relatio, and declared impudently: “The glass is half-full”, and analogously he said that one has to work that next year at the Synod it will be full. We must believe firmly that God will dissipate the plans of dishonesty, infidelity and betrayal. Christ holds infallibly the rudder of the boat of His Church in midst of such a big storm. We believe and trust in the very ruler of the Church, in Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the truth.<br />
<br />
<b>We are currently experiencing a culmination of aggression against the family; this aggression is accompanied by a tremendous confusion in the area of science about human and human identity. Unfortunately, there are certain members of Church hierarchy who, while discussing these matters, express opinions that contradict the teaching of Our Lord. How should we talk with those people who become victims of this confusion in order to strengthen their faith and to help them towards salvation?</b><br />
<br />
In this extraordinarily difficult time Christ is purifying our Catholic faith so that through this trial the Church will shine brighter and be really light and salt for the insipid neo-pagan world thanks to the fidelity and the pure and simple faith firstly of the faithful, of the little ones in the Church, of the “ecclesia docta” (the learning church), which in our days will strengthen the “ecclesia docens” (the teaching Church, i.e. the Magisterium), in a similar way as it was in the great crisis of the faith in the IV century as Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman stated: “This is a very remarkable fact: but there is a moral in it. Perhaps it was permitted, in order to impress upon the Church at that very time passing out of her state of persecution the great evangelical lesson, that, not the wise and powerful, but the obscure, the unlearned, and the weak constitute her real strength. It was mainly by the faithful people that Paganism was overthrown; it was by the faithful people, under the lead of Athanasius and the Egyptian bishops, and in some places supported by their Bishops or priests, that the worst of heresies was withstood and stamped out of the sacred territory. … In that time of immense confusion the divine dogma of our Lord's divinity was proclaimed, enforced, maintained, and (humanly speaking) preserved, far more by the "Ecclesia docta" than by the "Ecclesia docens;" that the body of the Episcopate was unfaithful to its commission, while the body of the laity was faithful to its baptism; that at one time the pope, at other times a patriarchal, metropolitan, or other great see, at other times general councils, said what they should not have said, or did what obscured and compromised revealed truth; while, on the other hand, it was the Christian people, who, under Providence, were the ecclesiastical strength of Athanasius, Hilary, Eusebius of Vercellæ, and other great solitary confessors, who would have failed without them” (Arians of the Fourth Century, pp. 446, 466).<br />
<br />
We have to encourage ordinary Catholics to be faithful to the Catechism they have learned, to be faithful to the clear words of Christ in the Gospel, to be faithful to the faith their fathers and forefathers handed over to them. We have to organize circles of studies and conferences about the perennial teaching of the Church on the issue of marriage and chastity, inviting especially young people and married couples. We have to show the very beauty of a life in chastity, the very beauty of the Christian marriage and family, the great value of the Cross and of the sacrifice in our lives. We have to present ever more the examples of the Saints and of exemplary persons who demonstrated that in spite of the fact that they suffered the same temptations of the flesh, the same hostility and derision of the pagan world, they nevertheless with the grace of Christ led a happy life in chastity, in a Christian marriage and in family. The faith, the pure and integral Catholic and Apostolic faith will overcome the world (cf. 1 John 5: 4).<br />
<br />
We have to found and promote youth groups of pure hearts, family groups, groups of Catholic spouses, who will be committed to the fidelity of their marriage vows. We have to organize groups which will help morally and materially broken families, single mothers, groups who will assist with prayer and with good counsel separated couples, groups and persons who will help “divorced and remarried” people to start a process of serious conversion, i.e. recognizing with humility their sinful situation and abandoning with the grace of God the sins which violate the commandment of God and the sanctity of the sacrament of marriage. We have to create groups who will carefully help persons with homosexual tendencies to enter the path of Christian conversion, the happy and beautiful path of a chaste life and to offer them eventually in a discrete manner a psychological cure. We have to show and preach to our contemporaries in the neo-pagan world the liberating Good News of the teaching of Christ: that the commandment of God, and even the sixth commandment is wise, is beauty: “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes” (Ps 19(18): 7-8).<br />

<b>During the Synod, Archbishop Gądecki from Poznań and some other distinguished prelates were publicly expressing their disagreement with the fact that the results of the discussions departed from the perennial teaching of the Church. Is there a hope that, amid this confusion, there will be an awakening of members of clergy and those faithful who were so far unaware of the fact that, in the very Church’s bosom, there are people who undermine the teaching of Our Lord?</b><br />
<br />
It is certainly an honor for Polish Catholicism that the President of the Catholic episcopate, His Excellency Archbishop Gądecki, defended with clarity and courage the truth of Christ about marriage and human sexuality, thus revealing himself to be a true spiritual son of Saint John Paul II. Cardinal George Pell characterized the liberal sexual agenda and the alleged merciful and pastoral support of Holy Communion for “divorced remarried” during the Synod very aptly, saying that this is only the tip of the iceberg and a kind of a Trojan horse in the Church.<br />
<br />
That in the very bosom of the Church, there are people who undermine the teaching of Our Lord became an obvious fact and one for the whole world to see thanks to the internet and the work of some Catholic journalists who were not indifferent to what was happening to the Catholic faith which they consider to be the treasure of Christ. I was pleased to see that some Catholic journalists and internet bloggers behaved as good soldiers of Christ and drew attention to this clerical agenda of undermining the perennial teaching of Our Lord. Cardinals, bishops, priests, Catholic families, Catholic young people have to say to themselves: I refuse to conform to the neo-pagan spirit of this world, even when this spirit is spread by some bishops and cardinals; I will not accept their fallacious and perverse use of holy Divine mercy and of “new Pentecost”; I refuse to throw grains of incense before the statue of the idol of the gender ideology, before the idol of second marriages, of concubinage, even if my bishop would do so, I will not do so; with the grace of God I will choose to suffer rather than betray the whole truth of Christ on human sexuality and on marriage.<br />
<br />
The witnesses will convince the world, not the teachers, said Blessed Paul VI in “Evangelii nuntiandi”. The Church and the world do urgently need intrepid and candid witnesses of the whole truth of the commandment and of the will of God, of the whole truth of Christ’s words on marriage. Modern clerical Pharisees and Scribes, those bishops and cardinals who throw grains of incense to the neo-pagan idols of gender ideology and concubinage, will not convince anyone to either believe in Christ or to be ready to offer their lives for Christ. Indeed “veritas Domini manet in aeternum” (Ps 116: the truth of the Lord remains forever) and “Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebr 13: 8) and “the truth will set you free” (John 8: 32). This last phrase was one of the favorite biblical phrases of Saint John Paul II, the pope of the family. We can add: the revealed and unchangeably transmitted Divine truth about human sexuality and marriage will bring true freedom to the souls inside and outside the Church. In midst of the crisis of the Church and the bad moral and doctrinal example of some bishops of his time Saint Augustine comforted the simple faithful with these words: “Whatsoever we bishops may be, you are safe, who have God for your Father and His Church for your mother“ (Contra litteras Petiliani III, 9, 10).<br />

Historians believe around 850,000 were saved by Catholic institutions.<br />
<br />
2nd place will come as a surprise to most: it was General Franco's Spain. Franco is of course a bogeyman on the secular left. The left are sore losers and hold the cultural high ground at the moment: government, academia and the media. Franco is a bogeyman merely because he beat them, so the following facts remain largely untold. If it does come up, the secular left will do its best to play it down by attributing some implausible, sordid motive to Franco. In reality, one needs to look no further than the fact that Franco's own ancestors were Marranos (Spanish Jews who converted to Christianity to avoid expulsion).<br />
<br />
Franco's Spain saved more Jews from the concentration camps than any other country. The consensus of historians is that Spain saved between 20,000 and 35,000 Jews by letting refugees pass through the country. Plus another 5,000 Jews were saved by Spanish diplomats abroad. Franco refused to hand over Spanish or foreign Jews to the Nazis and he allowed Jews and others with Portuguese visas to transit Spain. Despite his aversion to Zionism and "Judeo"-Freemasonry, Franco clearly did not share the rabid anti-Semitic ideology of the Nazis. <br />
<br />
Early in WW2, a contingent of Spanish doctors travelling in Poland were informed of the Nazi extermination plans by Governor-General Hans Frank, who was under the misimpression that they would share his views about the matter; when they came home, they passed the story to Admiral Luís Carrero Blanco, who informed Franco. Another piece of this jigsaw could have been Admiral Canaris, the head of German Military Intelligence. Canaris had been appalled by the Nazi's brutality he had witnessed in Poland and he had worked with Franco during the Spanish Civil War, and the two men had become friends.<br />
<br />
In the first years of the war, the Jews were mainly from Western Europe, fleeing deportation to concentration camps from occupied France, but there were also Jews from Eastern Europe. Throughout World War II, Spanish diplomats of the Franco government extended their protection to Eastern European Jews, especially in Hungary. Jews claiming Spanish ancestry were provided with Spanish documentation without being required to prove their case and either left for Spain or survived the war with the help of their new legal status in occupied countries.<br />
<br />
Diplomats discussed the possibility of Spain as a route to a containment camp for Jewish refugees near Casablanca but it came to naught because of the lack of Free French and <i>British </i>support. Nonetheless, control of the Spanish border under France was relaxed, and thousands of Jews managed to cross into Spain (many by smugglers' routes). Almost all of them survived the war. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee operated openly in Barcelona.<br />
<br />
Shortly afterwards, Spain began giving citizenship to Sephardic Jews in Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania; many Ashkenazic Jews also managed to be included, as did some non-Jews. The Spanish head of mission in Budapest, Ángel Sanz Briz, saved thousands of Ashkenazim in Hungary by granting them Spanish citizenship, placing them in safe houses and teaching them minimal Spanish so they could pretend to be Sephardim, at least to someone who did not know Spanish. Toward the war's end, Sanz Briz had to flee Budapest, leaving these Jews open to arrest and deportation. An Italian diplomat, Giorgio Perlasca, who was himself living under Spanish protection, used forged documents to persuade the Hungarian authorities that he was the new Spanish Ambassador, and continued Spanish protection of Hungarian Jews until the Red Army arrived.<br />
<br />
I believe, but cannot trace the source of this story, that there was an agreement with the Nazi for Spanish diplomats to issue just 200 papers. These papers were numbered consecutively, and Briz and Perlasca got round this hurdle by issuing the numbers randomly, and simply never issuing the number 200 - and by this simple ruse were able to save thousands.<br />

In 1967, after Egypt had been pulverized in the Six Day War by Israel, Egypt turned in vengeance on its Jewish community, throwing at least 425 Jewish men into jail. Other Arab countries also began terrorizing their Jews.<br />
<br />
The 75 year old General Franco sent instructions to his diplomats in Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco to help all Jews, whether Sephardic or otherwise, and to provide Egyptian Jews with documents to leave. Following these instructions, the Spanish ambassador in Cairo, Angel Sagaz, helped over 615 families escape over the next two years, even transferring some of their jewellery (which Egypt forbade them to take with them) out of the country in Spanish diplomatic bags.grahammoorhousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07823974786316836240noreply@blogger.com2
