Memo to the Bishops: Catholic Campaign For Human Development
November 10, 2009 | 1 Comment
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) collects money for the Catholic Campaign For Human Development (CCHD) every year. It is time to tell our Bishops “NO!”. “No!” now and a permanent “No!” to this continued assault on the Catholic Faith in the name of “social justice”. The CCHD has been found to give [...]

Health care reform: necessities versus rights
October 29, 2009 | 1 Comment
Health care is not a “right”, it is a necessity like clean water, food, clothing and shelter. Rights include such things as the right to be paid for one’s work, yet there are those who presume to be Catholic, such as the late Senator Ted Kennedy, that believe health care should be given freely as [...]

Quadraginta annis taeduit me generationis illius
et dixi: Populus errantium corde sunt isti.
Et ipsi non cognoverunt vias meas;
ideo iuravi in ira mea: Non introibunt in requiem meam
The Psalmist wrote in the 94th Psalm (Vulgate) – 40 years that generation wearied me, I said these are a people who err in their hearts and I judged in my [...]

September 20, 2009 | 1 Comment
Now certain prominent Bishops in the USA have weighed in on Health Care Reform, that national debate which appears to be producing more heat than light, a phenomenon that in physics this would result in thermodynamic death- but the economy of human politics is not tied to thermodynamics, is it?
What matters here is that the [...]

Pienso que las fuerzas diabolicas estan trabajando sin cesar en unas sillas del poder en la Santa Iglesia, Cardenales que abrazan el pecho de Jesus pero por 30 piezas de plata de los manos poderosos de los politicos ellos olvidare el Evangel de Jesucristo- como en Boston, Los Angeles.

“I shouted out,Who killed the kennedys? When after allIt was you and me“

‘America’ magazine: more on Jesuit-Obama newspeak
May 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment
I am off on holiday, little time to write. However over at Dyspeptic Mutterings an offering of dish on the Jesuit rag rant of Dear Leader Obama’s recent speech at Notre Dame, a sample:
Yes, let us join together in a circle of Christian love–good people like us and benighted, divisive, embarrassing, bullying Donatist-Circumcellion jerks like [...]

Pro-Life as Caricature: Rebranding the movement
May 19, 2009 | 2 Comments
The cultural Visigoths have established strongholds in our Catholic Universities and their leader of moment, President Barack Obama, has given his speeches from the podiums of Georgetown and Notre Dame undermining the public perception of American Catholic leadership and their moral authority to lead the faithful.
