St. Michael the Archangel Can You Please Defend Us from the Vatican Sculpture?

Traditionally St. Michael the Archangel is depicted in sculptures, icons, and holy cards wearing full armor and in a manly pose fighting God's enemy the devil. Here are a few traditional views of the great archangel:

Now take a look at the new sculpture of St. Michael placed in the Vatican garden unveiled and dedicated on July 5th with both Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict present. It is anything but manly, traditional, or clothed in armor. This nearly nude St. Michael stands, not in a position of strength, but like a girl arching her back for a Victoria's Secret ad with his left arm and hand in a very feminine position. And where exactly is he jabbing that spear? 

Now this is what the statue reminds me of: Just turn her in the other direction, give her a spear, and take her clothes off and voila -- St. Michael..

But maybe the sculptor had Victoria's Secret in mind all along. This angel actually has on more clothes than the Vatican's poor St. Michael. Under the Vatican dress code this St. Michael is banned from St. Peter's. Somebody cover him up with a Fatima T-shirt!

Wasn't There a Single Decent Person to Yell, "STOP?"

"A St. Paul, Minn., man is in a coma today, fighting for his life after a black mob beat him, stripped his clothes off and left him for dead. Even if he recovers, he will have permanent brain damage."

Man in coma after black mob of 50 pummels him

A young white man thinks he's safe living in a black neighborhood. And now he may die, but will definitely be permanently brain damaged. Where are the decent black men and women in these situations who demand thugs stop? If I saw a group of white guys beating up a black, I would try to stop them. Did anyone try to prevent this? Decency in the inner cities appears to be dead. No wonder Jesus said to "flee the cities."

Obama's Climate Plan Disaster

Protected bald eagle killed by wind turbines. 

All you animal lovers out there take note!

Obama's Wind Turbine Plan would escalate the aviary holocaust. Turbines already kill 1.4 million birds and bats every year and he wants to greatly expand wind farms. Consider that the death toll goes on and on and what do we get for it? Three percent of our energy needs. The final question: how much do you love mosquitoes and other bugs? There will be lots more of them! Remember The Silent Spring? There's more than one way to decimate the bird population.

How Disney Helped Spread the Population Control Propaganda

Read more about how this came about here and here.

And then consider the inherent racism of this video which was made during Paul Ehrlich population bomb hysteria period. A bunch of white elitists make a film showing a Hispanic couple labeled as "everyman." Then consider that most Hispanic countries are majority Catholic countries. This film was shot across the bow to the Catholic Church which encourages generosity in life giving. The battle has always been between the culture of death and the Lord of Life and His Church. That Disney allowed itself to be used to create this anti-family propaganda piece is amazing. It's like Pampers supporting Planned Parenthood (which they have). Nothing like urging the elimination of your customer base. But then sin makes you stupid!

Religious of the Sacred Heart of Florence

A friend of mine has a daughter who joined an Italian religious order called the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Florence. They were founded by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat in 1800 as contemplative cloistered order consecrated to the Heart of Jesus and dedicated to the education of youth. Today they are educating Italian youth and offer a real hope for the future. Here's a wonderful summary of what's happening there:

Saving Souls in Italy: With Help the Italians are Returning to Catholicism 

A new appreciation for children is awakening in Italy. For the past several decades the Italian birth rate has been one of the lowest in Europe and well below the replacement rate. But the pendulum may be swinging back. 

News comes to us from the Institute of the Sacred Heart of Florence, operated by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Florence, that their school enrollment is once again on the upswing. In fact the increase has been so dramatic that they are in need of help.

[They] are a contemplative community dedicated to education. Their charism is to glorify the Heart of Jesus, the Love of God made visible in the Incarnate Word, by means of the sanctification of themselves and others. Through prayer and the development of the interior life, they strive to conform themselves to Christ and then, through the instruction of the youth, to radiate that love to others. 

From their letter,..."Divine Providence has blessed us with an enormous harvest. Within the past year, the number of enrollments have greatly increased at every level of our school; Pre-school, Elementary, Middle School and High School. The challenge we face, hoever, is that we lack the proper facilities to be able to open our doors to all the souls that come to us." See more here.

If you are looking for a worthwhile Catholic apostolate to support, what could be better than to strengthen the family and help form a new generation of Catholic youth committed to the faith?  You can make a donation to help the sisters and support the school here. Remember the teaching orders of nuns who educated so many Catholic children in the faith? Let's help bring them back!

Give Obama a U.S. Map!

So you always thought Savannah and Charleston were Gulf of Mexico Ports. LOL! Maybe the Obamas next vacations should be to Savannah where they can look out over the Gulf and watch the sun rise. Oh...and Putin was NEVER the head of the KGB although he was an agent before he went into politics. But why is the media ignoring Obama's geographical biggies? Remember the ridicule over Quayle's spelling mistake (even though he was given the misspelling by the teacher)?

Attention: the media is moving Savannah and Charleston to the Gulf of Mexico because Obama is never, never wrong.

Logical Syllogisms of the Day

Raise your hand if you're pro-life!

"Pro-choicers" claim that they don't favor killing babies. They can only make that claim because they never finish the sentence: I am pro-choice when it comes to a mother choosing... (to kill her unborn baby if she wishes.) Now if someone claimed to be pro-choice about rape (I would never rape, but I can't impose my anti-rape morality on anybody else.) people would be outraged. How dare anybody favor that violation of women. But somehow, violating an innocent, helpless baby fits the morality of many. Very sad and a clear demonstration of the manipulation of words to hide the truth. But here are a few logical syllogisms to reflect on. It really isn't that complicated once you define terms. Pro-choicers themselves have defined it as "a woman's right to choose" between having an abortion or not. Since they favor whichever decision the woman makes (they say) they do, by definition, favor abortion. And now for the logic:

All pro-choicers favor the right of a woman to choose an abortion if she wishes.
(Name) is pro-choice.
Therefore (Name) favors the right of a woman to choose an abortion if she wishes. 

Abortion kills a  baby.
(Name) had an abortion.
(Name) killed a baby. 

All pro-choicers favor the right of a woman to choose to kill her baby if she wishes.
(Name) is pro-choice.
Therefore (Name) favors the right of a woman to choose to kill her baby if she wishes. 

Killing babies is morally evil.
Abortion kills babies.
Therefore, abortion is morally evil.

Pro-Abort Tyrants Cancel Presentations by Pro-Life Women Doctors

Pro-abortionists will go to any lengths to prevent the truth about abortion coming to light. Their radical agenda can only be maintained by hiding the truth and using language that masks their lies. That truth was graphically demonstrated this past week when during the Medical Women's International Association convention in Seoul, Korea three pro-life doctors from the United States scheduled to present papers were censored and banned. Read what happened during an interview with the Korean press after the doctors' talks were cancelled. The account was written by the three doctors: 

This account was written by the AAPLOG (American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists) women doctors involved: 

Dear friends, 

Three women physicians, Donna Harrison, Mary Davenport and Martha Shuping, were invited months ago to give lectures on complications of abortion for the MWIA, the Medical Women’s International Association. Donna Harrison’s presentation demonstrated that nations with laws protective of mothers and unborn babies have excellent maternal mortality statistics. Mary Davenport had a talk about abortion as a risk factor for preterm birth, the cause of 15 million neonatal deaths each year internationally. Martha Shuping had a presentation that included two case reports of women who suffered severe psychological harm from abortion, even though they had obvious risk factors that were not discussed in the informed consent process. These risk factors were actually quoted from an abortion provider textbook endorsed by the National Abortion Federation! This was valuable information for physicians to hear, especially those from developing nations who are under tremendous pressure to legalize abortion due to the false belief that legalized abortion is a panacea for maternal mortality. 

However, our presentations were cancelled at the last minute. This was not a total shock to us, because many physicians and scientists have long been hampered in attempts to inform the scientific community and patient about risks of abortion. Very important information has been suppressed and even lied about. With the cancellation of our talks, our host Anna Choi, head of group of 680 Korean obgyn physicians who stopped doing abortions, had decided to set up a radio and newspaper interview for us during the time that we were supposed to present.
When we got to the “radio” interview that Anna had set up, it was actually a television interview, and the newspaper reporter was there also. 

They put the three of us up front like a “panel” discussion, and the reporters started asking us questions about our presentation, allowing us an opportunity to talk about what we came to present. About 20 minutes into the interview, the Secretary General of MIWA, a Canadian woman, burst into the room (I kid you not. …and all of this is on camera), and came up to the table and said “What presentation is this? Donna Harrison said “it’s not a presentation”. So she snarled “Why are you being interviewed? At that point, the answers were left to Anna, our host. Anna said that this was a requested interview by the press. 

The SecGen then said “Who gave you permission to interview these people?” And the reporters said “We are the press, we don’t need anyone’s permission. We have freedom of the press” And the Sec Gen snarled at Anna and said “Did you arrange this? Did you talk to the organizing committee?” And Anna said “I am on the organizing committee. I don’t need to talk to anyone.” And the Sec Gen stood in front of the camera, and refused to move, and said “The interview is over.” Then the reporters said “You can’t do this. We have the freedom of the press. You are interfering with the freedom of the press.” But the Sec Gen would not move and said “The interview is over.” 

We exited to the hall, and a Belgian and German woman were waiting. They started to make fun of the Korean translator, and to snap pictures in her face. And she said “You can’t do this. This is my country. I will call the police.” And they actually grabbed at her, and then one of the Korean reporters put a huge camera in the Belgian woman’s face and started taking photos of her. A fist fight almost ensured between the women, but another of the Koreans stepped in and kept any contact from happening.. And all of this was on camera. And then our Korean hosts ushered us down the hall, and down the elevator, along with the reporters and camera crew, and we resumed the interview in the commons area downstairs by the trash cans and the bathroom. We were able to complete the entire interview, and instead of our audience being a few women doctors from the conference, we now have an audience of probably a few thousand. 

It was an incredible display of arrogance on the part of the Canadian, US and European physicians at the MWIA., who initiated preventing us from speaking It will be interesting to see what press picks this up. I just wish it would go viral, it’s such a glaring example of exactly what we were saying about suppression of information.
You will be able to access the banned presentations at www.aaplog.org. 

Mary L Davenport, MD, FACOG

Like the doctors said, "It was an incredible display of arrogance." It also shows exactly what lengths pro-abortionists will go to prevent the truth about abortion's danger from seeing the light of day. They would rather enable hundreds of Kermit Gosnells to kill babies and their mothers than to see one restriction on the child-killing. God help them when they stand before the Author of life to be judged.

Pray that We All May be One

Archbishop Pozzo returns to Ecclesia Dei commission: a signal of new moves on SSPX?

Every morning when we pray the Morning Offering we ask "for the reunion of all Christians." Of course we want our separated Protestant brothers and sisters to come home to Rome, but wouldn't the reunion of our own traditionalists be a reason for great rejoicing. Pray that the issues separating the SSPX can be resolved. In these challenging times, we need everybody on the barque of Peter manning their stations. Please Lord, restore our unity.

The Pope's Press Conference

There's been an awful lot of drivel written about things the pope said.during his long interview with the press on the plane during the return from World Youth Day. It might be useful for people to read what he actually said for themselves. So here's a link. I confess, some of it leaves me encouraged, some a bit baffled, but I trust in the Holy Spirit and following the lead of little Jacinta of Fatima I want to be truly committed to praying for the Holy Father. No pope can destroy the orthodoxy of the Church. The Holy Spirit promised to remain with the Church and many saints have emphasized the necessity of our connection to Peter. Where Peter is, there is the Church. So please pray for our Holy Father no matter what. Here's just one prayer to inspire you:

Prayer for the Pope

O Lord, we are the millions of believers, humbly kneeling at Thy feet and begging Thee to preserve, defend and save the Sovereign Pontiff for many years. He is the Father of the great fellowship of souls and our Father as well. On this day, as on every other day, he is praying for us also, and is offering unto Thee with holy fervor the sacred Victim of love and peace.

Wherefore, O Lord, turn Thyself toward us with eyes of pity; for we are now, as it were, forgetful of ourselves, and are praying above all for him. Do Thou unite our prayers with his and receive them into the bosom of Thine infinite mercy, as a sweet savor of active and fruitful charity, whereby the children are united in the Church to their Father. All that he asks of Thee this day, we too ask it of Thee in unison with him.

Whether he weeps or rejoices, whether he hopes or offers himself as a victim of charity for his people, we desire to be united with him; nay more, we desire that the cry of our hearts should be made one with his. Of Thy great mercy grant, O Lord, that not one of us may be far from his mind and his heart in the hour that he prays and offers unto Thee the Sacrifice of Thy blessed Son. At the moment when our venerable High Priest, holding in His hands the very Body of Jesus Christ, shall say to the people over the Chalice of benediction these words: "The peace of the Lord be with you always," grant, O Lord, that Thy sweet peace may come down upon our hearts and upon all the nations with new and manifest power. Amen.

Possible Eucharistic Miracle in Mexico

Mexico archdiocese investigating possible Eucharistic miracle

I recently read a book about the martyrs of Mexico. It would not surprise me to see Jesus doing miracles in this land of so many martyrs of the Eucharist. And it's a sobering thought to think of the possibility of history repeating itself when a government is an enemy of Christianity as ours is increasingly becoming. Read about Mexico's history of religious persecution and ask yourself why it couldn't happen here?

Well we all know school officials know best!

More reasons to home school. 

I always tell my kids never to spank in public. Not that I was ever much of a spanker because I didn't find it very effective. Denying privileges gets a response much faster. Nevertheless, sometimes a good well-aimed swat on the tush can be motivational. As for the interfering school administrator, she should have minded her own business. Clearly, the grandmother was not abusing the child who was apparently having hysterics. All the administrator did was precipitate a nasty altercation between a teenager and the police. One more reason to home-school: avoid the busybodies who think they know best.

Georgetown: It's Just Not Catholic Anymore

How Georgetown Became a Gay Friendly Campus...

...and completely lost its Catholic identity. Just check out campus events. This is NOT about treating gays with respect as children of God. No, it's all about promoting the gay lifestyle and the gay agenda. Same sex kiss-ins, the nauseating, pornographic Vagina Monologues, a drag ball called Genderfunk, gay pride month: these are all events with an agenda - and it's not knowing, loving, and serving God! It's high time Georgetown had its Catholic identity stripped to match the reality of its hedonistic anything-goes philosophy.
