Is Obama another Carter?
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, April 30, 2009
David Horowitz and Ben Johnson’s book, “Party of Defeat” Spence Publishing Company – Dallas, 2008, p. 27-29 have an important message for President Obama and all Americans.
“If confusion, guilt, and self-doubt marked Carter’s approach to America’s enemies, moral superiority and self-righteousness characterized his dealings with allies, most pointedly the shah of Iran. To Carter, the shah’s regime looked like the kind of dictatorship McGovern had promised that America would never again defend. In fact, although the shah was a dictator, he was also a reformer who gave Iranians far more freedom than the Mullahs. He had repealed the Islamic law requiring women to wear the veil and for the first time gave them the right to acquire an education.
“It was the shah’s progressive acts that enraged the mullahs against him, but they did impress Carter, who made the shah the prime target of his global crusade for “human rights.”…
“As the Islamic Revolution gathered strength, Carter persuaded the shah to release its leaders from prison and encouraged him to step aside and make way for the mullah…. Senator Edward Kennedy, went further, condemning the shah’s government as “one of the most oppressive regimes in history” – a ludicrous claim that overlooked, among other near-to-hand examples, the murderous North Vietnamese Communists, whose victory Kennedy had facilitated, and who were busily conducting summary executions of a hundred thousand of their new subjects.
“As the Shah became the focus of Carter’s moralistic attacks, America’s support was withdrawn from a region that had been American ally fighting the Communists. Carter thus undermined the ruler of the most pro-Western Muslin government in history as it confronted a rebellion led by religious fanatics, who had declared America to be the Great Satan, …
“The Democratic-led Watergate had targeted the CIA, which had been drawn into the imbroglio by Nixon. As part of its assault on the American Washington’s culpability before the world. Consequently, at the same time Carter was underming the shah, his CIA director, Stansfield Turner, was taking an ax to intelligence assets that might otherwise have identified the threat. Turner cut 820 human-intelligence positions from the agency, forcing it to rely on foreign intelligence for analyses.
“As Americans progressives had nailed the Vietnamese Communists as liberators, they now saw virtue in the monstrous forces they were helping bring to power in the Islamic Middle East. Carter’s ambassador to Iran compared Ayatollah Khomeini to the Hindu pacifist Mahatma Gandhi. UN ambassadors Andrew Young called the fanatic misogynist and America-hater “a 20th century saint.”…
“The Iranians are going to have ultimately see how holding the hostages (66 Americans) is hurting their Revolution.” Carter did not just sit back; he caved in, paying an eight-billion ransom to the ayatollah, who quickly funneled the money to terrorists around the world, in a radical version of trickle-down economics.”…

Phyllis Schlafly on President Obama
Phyllis Schlafly on President Obama
In pursuit of the Truth – Feast of St. Catherine of Siena – Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Preface: It is providential that the first 100 days of the Obama administration falls on this Feast of St. Catherine of Siena who is the patron of the Dominican Laity. This Saint persevered in doing God’s will. She is a Doctor of the Church.
+++++
Phyllis and her sister Eleanor Schlafly are two outstanding Catholic women in America. Phyllis is a gifted leader of the Pro-Family Movement since 1972. And I have subscribed to Eleanor’s monthly Mindszenty Report for more than 40 years. Americans can learn from Cardinal Mindszenty’s experience with the Hungarian communists during the Iron Curtain that hung over Eastern Europe from the 1945 to the 1980s.
Phyllis’s March letter to Eagle supporters is very enlightening and suitable for today:
“I am amazed and encouraged at the orders Eagle Forum has been receiving for my February Phyllis Schlafly Report called “How a Community Organizer Became President” and my January Report called “Social Justice: Code Word for Anti-Americanism.”… This means grassroots Americans are waking up to the “change” Barack Obama promised ….
“I guess the American people didn’t grasp the significance of Obama’s campaign promise to begin “remaking America” (his Inaugural words) into a land of total government control over our money, our banks, our jobs, our health care, our schools, our law, and our courts, and saddle us with a mountain of debt that our children and grandchildren can never dig their way out of.
“It isn’t any accident that Barack Obama was elected President. He had been planning for that for many years while he learned the community organizing tactics taught by the Chicago radical, Saul Alinsky. - For New World Order, access eagle@eagleforum.org
“But that’s not all. Obama hired the best technicians to combine community organization and demonstrations with the best 21st-century technology. This enabled the Obama political organization to communicate directly with millions of people to pressure Congress to pass the big-spending bills that will “spread the wealth”…. spread the poverty.
“Obama built his reputation as a great orator. Now we discover that he can’t give a speech without a pre-written script in front of him! Obama can’t give a speech without a teleprompter, a modern device which rolls the script on two screens, one on the right and one on the left of the speaker. The teleprompter enables the speaker to look to the right and the left side of the audience, back and forth, and pretend he is speaking extemporaneously.
“The pro-Obama media have been trying to conceal from TV audiences the fact that Obama is reading all his speeches, even small ones given before small groups, but there are two difficulties: (1) OBAMA MUST TURN FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND NEVER MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH HIS AUDIENCE, AND (2) IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A GOOD PHOTOGRAPH OF OBAMA WITHOUT SHOWING AT LEAST A PART OF THE TELEPROMTER SCREEN.
“PRESIDENT OBAMA DOESN’T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT HIS TELEPROMPTER. He depends on it for every speech, even a six-minute tribute to Abe Lincoln and simple introductions of his own Cabinet officials. He is the first President to be completely dependent on the teleprompter. Obama’s total dependence on a pre-written speech posted on the teleprompter makes us wonder who is writing his speeches* …
“If we want to keep America the land of the free, we must act now, alert fellow citizens, and organize politically to recapture Congress in the elections of 2010.”
George H. Kubeck OPL, *Yes, we have a “Troika,” Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod & the Teleprompter.

Archbishop Charles Chaput in Toronto, Canada
Archbishop Charles Chaput in Toronto, Canada
In pursuit of the Truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, April 28, 2009
The following are selected excerpts from this insightful and poignant address given at the University of Toronto on Monday, Feb. 23, 2009 and posted by (Zenit.org) – Toronto, Feb. 24, 2009. The archbishop’s presentation was sponsored by the Archdiocese of Toronto, the Salt and Light Catholic Television Network, the Toronto Legatus Chapter, and the University of St. Michael’s College. The Archbishop spoke as follows:
I’ve learned from experience, though, that Henry Ford was right when he said that, “Two percent of the people think, three percent think they think, and 95 percent would rather die than think.”…
American consumer culture is a very powerful narcotic. Moral reasoning can be hard, and TV is a great pain killer. This has political implications. Real freedom demands an ability to think and a great deal of modern life – not just in the United States, but all over the developed world, it seems deliberately designed to discourage that. So talking about God and Caesar, even it wakes up one Christian mind in an audience, is always worth the effort..
The most important fact to remember about our discussion tonight is this: As adults, each of us needs to form a strong and genuinely Catholic conscience.. Then we need to follow the conscience when we vote. And then we need to take responsibility for the consequences of our vote. Nobody can do that for us. That is why knowing, living and submitting ourselves to our Catholic faith are so important. It’s the only reliable guide we have for acting in the public square as disciples of Jesus Christ. …
So what does the book say? I think the message of “Render Unto Caesar” can be condensed into a few basic points.
Here is the first point. For many years, studies have shown that Americans have a very poor sense of history. That’s very dangerous, because as Thucydides and Machiavelli, and Thomas Jefferson have all said, history matters. It matters because the past shapes the present, and the present shapes the future. If Catholics don’t know history and their own history as Catholics, then somebody else – and usually someone not very friendly – will create their history for them.
Here is the second point, and it’s the place where the Canadian and American experience may diverge. AMERICA IS NOT A SECULAR STATE. As historian Paul Johnson once said, America was “born Protestant.” It has uniquely and deeply religious roots. Obviously it has not established Church, and it has non-sectarian public institutions. It also has plenty of room for believers and non-believers. But the United States was never intended to be a “secular” country in the radical modern sense. Nearly all the Founders were either Christian or at least religion friendly. And all of our public institutions and all of our ideas about the human person are based in a religiously shaped vocabulary. So if we cut God out of our public life, we also cut the foundation out from under our national ideals
Here’s the third point, … When we subvert the meaning of words like “the common good” or “conscience” or “community” or “family” we undermine the language that sustains our thinking about law. Dishonest language leads to dishonest debate and bad laws.
Here’s an example. We need to remember THAT TOLERANCE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN VIRTUE. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty – these are Christian virtues. And obviously, in a diverse community tolerance is an important working principle. But it is never an end in itself. In fact tolerating grave evil within a society is itself a form of serious evil. … Real pluralism demands that people of strong beliefs will advance their convictions in the public square … without embarrassment. Anything else is bad citizenship and a form of theft from the public conversation. …

America's Holy Bible
America’s Holy Bible
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone. – Monday, April 27, 2009
You will recognize the author of this letter. It was composed more than a dozen years ago. It is appropriate for this week with the first hundred days of President Obama’s Administration and the controversy with the Notre Dame Scandal.
In today’s America, prayer and the love of our country, patriotism, are two of our most powerful weapons. Let us gather together with the National Day of Prayer, Thursday, May 7th, Memorial Day, Monday, May 25th and Flag Day, Sunday June 14th.
“Medical doctors are scientists, but psychologists and psychiatrists deal primarily, from subjective and not objective research. An enormous power in this country for the past 100 years has come from psychiatrists and psychologists who do not believe in God … do not believe in the Bible.
“They have been behind the movement to create secular humanism in an effort to replace the emotional strength that traditionally has come through faith in God. But secular humanism has failed, and it is time we admit it….
“Now take a quick leap with me. It’s 1989, and I’m invited by Gorbachev to Moscow, and they listen to my request to be the first preacher to preach about God on atheist television. At the close of a three hour meeting, Valentin Lazutkin, the head of communications in Russia, stood up and said,
“Dr. Schuller, we are atheists. This is an atheist television network. We use it to try to cure people of their superstitions. How can we ask you to preach a sermon about God?” He took a deep drag from his cigarette, blew it out, and said, “I don’t believe in God, but after 70 years of official atheism indoctrinated in the most scientific way we see that something is missing in human beings that only seems to come through religion. We will let you have the honor of being the first preacher in history to preach a sermon about God in Russia on Channel One.”
“And that happened on December 25, 1989. Atheism has failed. Secular humanism has failed! Where can we go? We go back to the Holy Bible. This Book is the tap root of my emotional support system....
“The philosophy and psychology that comes from secular humanism cannot feed us. It cannot sustain us. We find strength and power in the Holy Bible because it connects us with our Creator who created us to be spiritual beings on a human journey. “God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power.”
“Yes, I keep reading the journals…. But I get my emotional power from the HOLY BIBLE. It is the most encouraging book I can find. Jesus says, “You are the light of the world. You are the salt of the earth.” This Book takes simple human beings, and empowers them to try to do the impossible. That’s the spirit from this Book. It doesn’t flatter you or me when you read it; we know it’s telling the truth! It says, we are sinners, but it says,
I LOVE YOU ANYWAY *

Ex-Canadian explains the Dumbing-Down of Father John Jenkins
Ex-Canadian explains the Dumbing-Down of Father John Jenkins
In pursuit of truth – www.cinopsbegone.com –Mark, the Evangelist, Saturday, Apr. 25/09
It would be a good idea for both sides in the Notre Dame Scandal to check out today’s Liturgy of the Hours- Office of Readings – Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians 4:1-16 and the Second Reading from the treatise Against Heresies by St. Irenaeus, bishop.
This is the fifth in a series of letters on the Notre Dame Scandal. My perspective is different but truthful and the truth hurts. I graduated from Loyola College in Montreal in 1952 and legally immigrated in 1958. By joining the army in Oct. 1958 for three years, I received my U.S.citizenship in early 1962.
I am disappointed with the Jesuit-run Colleges and Universities in the U.S.A. There is a pledge loyalty to the pope by the Jesuits. However, they have been a pain in neck to both Pope Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. They have a destructive attitude and approach to our Catholic Church and our Catholic Faith. They think they are smarter than the Pope, the USCCB, and even the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
NOW IF THEY HAD THAT ATTITUDE DURING THE REFORMATION WE WOULD NOT HAVE THE ONE UNIVERSAL CATHOLIC CHURCH TODAY. There are several rotten apples among the Jesuits who hold key positions of power. Their attitude of DISSENT is one reason why we have so many Catholic-in-name only politicians and persons and why the second largest religious group in America are ex-Catholics.
Sadly, Father Jenkins has been dumbed-down by the Jesuits. With the Catholic vote of 54% going to Obama in 2008 Father Jenkins is surrounded by Catholic-in-name only persons and donators to organization like “Catholics United” and “Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good”. These so-called organizations are basically shills for the CINOP politicians and their candidate Obama. Liberal financier George Soros poured money into these Catholic groups that painted Obama as a favorable pro-life light. Soros succeeded in what money can buy. Donahue exposed the link. Refer to my blog cinops be gone letter of October 23, 2008 titled, The Case against “Catholics United” # 3
To understand the above better let me quote from an address delivered Monday, Feb. 23,2009 by Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, Colorado, at the University of Toronto, Canada. It was posted Toronto, Feb. 24th, 2009 (Zenith)
Three weeks before last November’s election, I (Charles) wrote the following words:
“I believe that Senator Obama, whatever his other talents, is the most committed ‘abortion-rights’ presidential candidate of either major party since Roe v. Wade … The party platform Senator Obama runs on this year is not only aggressively ‘pro-choice.’ It has also removed any suggestion that killing an unborn child might be a regrettable thing…
I ADDED THAT “TO SUGGEST – AS SOME CATHOLICS DO – THAT SENATOR OBAMA IS THIS YEAR’S ‘REAL’ PRO-LIFE CANDIDATE REQUIRES A PECULIAR KIND OF SELF-HYPNOSIS, OR MORAL CONFUSION, OR WORSE. To portray the 2008 Democratic Party presidential ticket as the preferred ‘pro-life’ option IS TO SUBVERT WHAT THE WORD PRO-LIFE MEANS.”
I like clarity. And there is a reason why. I think modern life, including life in the Church, suffers from a phony unwillingness to offend that poses as prudence and good manners, but too often turns out to be cowardice…. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN IT COMES TO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION THAT WILL BE VERY HARD FOR CATHOLICS and here’s WHY. A SPIRIT OF ADULATION BORDERING ON SERVILITY ALREADY EXISTS AMONG SOME OF THE SAME DEMOCRATIC-FRIENDLY CATHOLIC WRITERS, scholars, editors and activists who once accused pro-lifers of being too cozy with Republicans.(This adulation is tragic. gk)

In pursuit of the truth – cinops be gone – Thursday, April 23, 2009
As a retired public school teacher this book hits the nail on the head. It will help us understand the alien teach-mindset that most Americans are not even aware of.
“David Horowitz has single-handedly exposed the intellectual corruption that exists with the class-rooms of American Colleges. Like all forms of corruption, indoctrination flourishes when kept in the dark. Horowitz turns on the bright lights to expose what has become profoundly wrong with our colleges and universities. We are all in his debt,” Ward Connerly, former regent, University of California.
David Horowitz and coauthor Jacob Laksin take us inside 12 major universities where radical agendas have been institutionalized and scholarly standard abandoned. The schools … are an all-too-representative sampling of American higher education today.
Horowitz and Laksin have conducted the first comprehensive, in-depth, multiyear investigation into what is being taught in colleges and universities across the country – public to private from large state schools to elite Ivy League institutions…. The extreme ideological cant that today’s students are being fed includes:
1.) Promoting Marxist approaches as keys to understanding human societies – with no mention of the bloody legacy of these doctrines and total collapse in the real world of the societies they created.
2.) Instilling the idea that racism, brutally enforced by a “white male patriarchy” to oppress people of color and other marginalized groups, has been the organizing principle of American society throughout its history and into the present.
3.) Requiring students to believe that gender is not a biological characteristic but a socially created aspect of human behavior designed by men to oppress women.
4.) Persuading students that America and Israel are “imperialistic” and “racist” states and that the latter has no more right to exist than the South African regime in the days of apartheid.
In page after shocking page, Horowitz and Laksin demonstrate that America’s colleges and universities are platforms for a virulent orthodoxy that threatens academic ideals and academic freedom. In place of scholarship and the dispassionate pursuit of the truth that have long been the hallmarks of higher learning, the new militancy embraces activist zealotry and ideological fervor.
In disturbingly large segments of today’s universities, students are no longer taught how to think but are told what to think.
All of the above from the book cover of One-Party Classroom – “How Radical Professors at America’s Top Colleges Indoctrinate Students and Undermine Our Democracy,” by David Horowitz and Jacob Laskin, Crown Forum, New York, 2009

This Normal Fear of Same-Sex Marriage
This Normal Fear of Same-Sex Marriage
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, April 22, 2009
The California Supreme Court will be coming down with a decision on the legality of Proposition 8; that marriage is between a man and woman. Anything is possible because our judicial activist judges have already set aside the Natural Law on abortion, assisted-suicide, euthanasia, and embryonic stem-cell research.
I believe legalized same-sex marriage will turn America upside down; and it must never happen. Today, we are fighting another 1960’s type cultural revolution.
The excerpts from the book, “Why Defend Marriage between a Man and a Woman?” by Mathew D. Staver, Esq. (liberty@LC.org) will enlighten us.
End of Marriage as we know it:
Paula Ettelbrick, the former legal director of the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund (a pro-homosexual public interest law firm), has commented,
“Being queer is more than setting up house, sleeping with a person of the same gender, and seeking with a person of the gender, and seeking state approval for doing so…Being queer means pushing the parameters of sex, sexuality, and family, and in the process transforming the very fabric of society.”
Homosexual activist and writer Michelangelo Signorile declares a similar intention: “It is a chance to wholly transform the definition of family in American culture. It is the final tool with which to dismantle all sodomy statutes, get education about homosexuality and Aids into public schools, and, in short, usher in a sea of change…”
And Tom Stoddard, another same-sex proposition, notes that “enlarging the concept {of marriage} to embrace same-sex couples would necessarily transform it into something new.”
If society were to sanction same-sex marriage, a high percentage of children and adults would be adversely affected emotionally and physically. Hurting people hurt people. No wonder marriage between one man and one woman is a public good, rather than merely an individual private relationship.
How Will Same-Sex Marriage Hurt MY Marriage:
The love between my wife and me is secure, and same-sex marriage will not disturb our relationship. However, same-sex marriage will cataclysmically disturb the culture, will hurt people, and in particular, children. Again, while marriage has a private aspect, it is a public institution that impacts the entire society. We cannot isolate marriage inside the four walls of a home. Our attitude and public policies toward marriage will affect the culture, and in my opinion, same-sex marriage will damage the culture.
Do you want your children or grandchildren to open up the pages of the Washington Post or you local newspaper, turn to the kids’ section, and read an article entitled “Defining Marriage,” which tells them how normal it is for two people of the same-sex to be married? That is what the Washington Post did in an article …. just for kids.
Or, do you want your child to come home and tell you that at school, the teacher read to the class a story from the book The King and the King? The book talks about a prince who was in love with a citizen of the kingdom, but there was a problem – the citizen was of the same-sex as the prince. The law barred same-sex marriage, so when the prince became the king, he legalized same-sex marriage and married the citizen, and the two were joined as kings. This incident occurred in an elementary school in Wilmington, North Carolina. Legalizing same-sex marriage would make these events common every-day….

Ex-Canadian discusses Notre Dame Scandal
Ex-Canadian discusses Notre Dame Scandal
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, April 20, 2009
“First of all that Jesus and the Church are, for me, as impossible to separate as they are impossible to identify one with the other. Jesus is always infinitely transcendent to the Church.” Pope Benedict XVI
Dear Reverend Father John Jenkins, C.S.R.
This is the fourth in a series of letters on the Notre Dame Scandal. Let me share some thoughts that come to my mind. Veritas, the truth hurts. We have one Roman Catholic American Church, and not two or three.
We don’t want the American Church to be a carbon copy of the Canadian Catholic Church. Can we learn something from the Canadian Bishops disastrous decisions on Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life), abortion and same-sex marriage.
Add to that is Notre Dame University’s infamous example in September, 1984, with Mario Cuomo doing damage control for the Democratic Party after Cardinal O’Connor had spooked Democrats by telling a reporter he couldn’t “see how a Catholic in good conscience can vote for a candidate who explicitly supports abortion.” Hence, general Cuomo was dispatched to the theology department at South Bend, where he returned fire on O’Connor with his now infamous “personally opposed, but” credo on abortion. (Catholic Eye, 3-31-09)
Since then the staff at USCCB has been in bed with the Democratic Party. I call upon USCCB today to compose a theological document on abortion that will shred the thinking of Mario Cuomo. I also call upon Mario Cuomo to retract what he has spoken and written on this subject. Cuomo is the patron saint, the devil of the Catholic-in-name-only politician mindset. This con-operation must cease.
Let’s stop talking only of the tip of the iceberg, abortion. The Democratic Party is today the party of abortion, the party of assisted-suicide, the party of euthanasia, and the party of embryonic stem-cell research and the party of same-sex marriage. Catholic-in-name-only politicians (CINOPS) are the backbone of that party – useful idiots for the Culture of Death. (Pope John Paul II) We have CINOPS in Congress and the Senate who are sponsors of the FOCA bill in Congress. Within the last month, 16 Catholic Senators rejected the conscience clause. How can any clergy and religious look in the mirror and remain registered Democrats?
Also, I did not become an American to create a European Socialist same-sex marriage America on this continent. I could have done that by immigrating to Europe. May I remind everyone what happened to Europe via some Catholic support during the 1930’s to Hitler’s National Socialism and Mussolini’s Fascism.
Let’s change a negative into a positive. There is no doubt that what occurred at Georgetown University on April 14, 2009, provides you with the opportunity to cancel the invitation for President Obama to speak at the graduation ceremony on May 21st. Catholic University’s Victor Nakas stated:
“I can’t imagine, as the bishops’ university and the national university of the Catholic Church that we would ever cover up our religious art or signage for any reason. Our Catholic faith is integral to our identity as an institution of higher education.”
Respectfully yours,
George H. Kubeck, (Please e-mail to president@nd.edu and your friends in America)

Divine Mercy & Notebook III of St. Faustina - 2 of 2
Divine Mercy & Notebook III of St. Faustina – 2 of 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Divine Mercy Sunday, April 19, 2009
Excerpts from St. Faustina’s diary (cont’d) - Being Scorned
1164 – On an earlier occasion in the evening, I saw the Lord Jesus upon the cross. From his hands, feet and side, the Most Sacred Blood was flowing. After some time Jesus said to me, All this for the salvation of souls. Consider well, My daughter, what you are doing for their salvation. I answered, “Jesus, when I look at Your suffering, I see that I am doing next to nothing for the salvation of souls.” And the Lord said to me, Know, My daughter, that your silent day-to-day martyrdom in complete submission to my will ushers many souls into heaven. And when it seems to you that your suffering exceeds your strength, contemplate My wounds, and you will rise above human scorn and judgment. Meditation on My Passion will help you rise above all things. I understood many things I had been unable to comprehend before.
Sickness
1089 – On April 14, I felt so bad that I barely managed to get up to assist at Holy Mass.,,, When I received Holy Communion, I don’t know why, but it was as if something were urging me to this prayer, and I began to pray in this manner: “Jesus may your pure and healthy blood circulate in my ailing organism, and may Your pure and healthy body transform my weak body, and may a healthy and vigorous life throb within me, if it is truly your holy will that I should set about the work in question; and this will be a clear sign of your holy will for me.” As I was praying in this way, I suddenly felt as if something were jolting my whole organism and, in an instant, I felt completely well….
Holy Communion
1037 – I find myself so weak that were it not for Holy Communion I would fail completely. One thing alone sustains me, and that is Holy Communion. From it I draw my strength; in it is all my comfort.
1114 – (May 1, 1937) Today, I felt the nearness of my Mother, my heavenly Mother, although before every Holy Communion I earnestly ask the Mother of God to help my soul for the coming of Her Son, and I clearly feel Her protection over me.
Thoughts of Jesus
1017 – The Lord said to me, I want to give myself to souls and fill them with My love, but few there are who want to accept all the graces My love has intended for them. My grace is not lost; if the soul for whom it was intended does not accept it, another soul takes it.
1059 – Jesus is commanding me to make a novena before the feast of Mercy, and today I am about to begin it for the conversion of the whole world and for the recognition of The Divine Mercy – so that every soul will praise My goodness. I desire trust from my creatures. Encourage souls to place great trust in my fathomless mercy. Let the weak, sinful soul have no fear to approach Me, for even if it had more sins than there are grains of sand in the world, all would be drowned in the unmeasurable depths of My mercy.
The Priest’s Commentary on the above: Do not think that the Lord will not forgive. Take the death of St. Stephen. St. Paul was responsible and had to be overwhelmed with what he had done. He killed one of God’s saints and God forgave him.
1075 – Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a judge for them, but the Merciful Savior….
1146 – Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to my Mercy delight Me... (Jesus I trust in you.)

Divine Mercy & Notebook III of St. Faustina – 1 of 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, April 18, 2009
Excerpts from St. Faustina’s diary: “To Be Avoided”
Talk too much:
1008 (March 1, 1937) – The Lord gave me to know how displeased He is with a talkative soul. I find no rest in such a soul. The constant din tires Me, and in the midst of it the soul cannot discern My voice.
Idleness:
1127 (May 20, 1937) – And he (Satan) confessed, though unwillingly, “I am looking for idle souls.” When I commanded Him again in the Name of God to tell me which souls in religious life he has the easiest access, he said, again unwillingly, “To lazy and idle souls.”

1101 – In the evening, I heard these words in my soul: My daughter, know that I shall speak to you in a special way through this priest (Fr.

No one can release me from this Whatever the will of God may be, once I have come to know it, I ought to carry it out.
1106 – Virtue without prudence is not virtue at all. We should often pray to the Holy Spirit for this grace of prudence. Prudence consists in discretion, rational reflection and courageous resolutions. The final decision is always up to us. We must decide; we can and we ought to seek advice and light…
The Priest’s Commentary on the above at a Spiritual Retreat, Saturday, April 18, 2009
The most important thing to do is the will of God; simply “Thy Will be done.” Humility! Think about how you spent your life. Pray for God’s Mercy. Be generous with the poor. Obey your superiors. Obedience is very pleasing to God. Follow the rules of the Church. Ask Jesus to intervene. You don’t tell Him what to do. Say I trust in You. We have need of Special Grace to be kind to the person who has harmed you. He will give you the graces to do what you were asked to do. St. Thomas More meditated on the Passion of Christ. Don’t do something too quickly without God. Ask a priest to give you advice.

Excerpts from St. Faustina’s diary: “To Be Avoided”
Talk too much:
1008 (March 1, 1937) – The Lord gave me to know how displeased He is with a talkative soul. I find no rest in such a soul. The constant din tires Me, and in the midst of it the soul cannot discern My voice.
Idleness:
1127 (May 20, 1937) – And he (Satan) confessed, though unwillingly, “I am looking for idle souls.” When I commanded Him again in the Name of God to tell me which souls in religious life he has the easiest access, he said, again unwillingly, “To lazy and idle souls.”
Pride:
1149 (June 20, 1937) – “O Lord, although I love You with all my heart, please do not appear to me, because my spiritual director has told me that these sudden appearances of Yours arouse the suspicion that You could be an Illusion. And although I love You more than my own life, and I know that You are my Lord and God, who are communing with me, I must above all be obedient to my confessor.” Tell your confessor that I commune with your soul in such an intimate manner because you do not steal My gifts, and this is why I pour all these graces upon your soul, because I know that you will not hoard them for yourself.

Father Jenkins's Academic Council & U
Father Jenkins’s Academic Council & USCCB - 3
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, April 16, 2009
Dear Reverend Father John Jenkins,
This is the third in a series of letters on the Notre Dame Scandal. This letter is different and applicable to all future letters and this time directed to Father John Jenkins, President of Notre Dame, and the above.
I call upon all immigrants who are today naturalized American citizens to speak out from their own knowledge and experience on the Notre Dame Scandal, the Catholic-in-name only politician scandal which cries out to heaven, and the Obama cultural and political agenda. Why? The above scandals will destroy our Catholic identity and our American identity and nation.
Cardinal George said, “… it is clear that Notre Dame didn’t understand what it means to be Catholic when it issued this invitation, and didn’t anticipate the kind of uproar….” On the other hand, Father John Jenkins, I believe it was deliberate by you and the council to cause this uproar and a challenge the bishops who are speaking out and identify those loyal to Pope Benedict XVI.
As an ex-Canadian let me tell you what happened in Canada:
Fr. Frank Pavone, “Humane Vitae (issued on July 25, 1968) means “Of human life.” Human life comes from God, belongs to God, and goes back to God. “You are not your own,” St. Paul declares. “You have been bought, and at a price” (1 Cor. 6:19-20)…. We suffer from the illusion that all of these activities belong to us. “This is my life, my body, my choice.”… Sexual; activity … belongs in the context of committed love (sealed by marriage) and openness to life.” THE ABOVE WAS REJECTED BY CANADIAN BISHOPS.
So we have a Canadian Catholic Church floating about kind of cut off from Rome. AS A RESULT, what happened in Canada? On abortion and same-sex marriage we have scandals that cry out to high heaven. And the fact that Canadian Catholic-in-name-only politicians sponsored and passed same-sex marriage laws in Canada is unbelievable. Nothing happened to them. THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA!
THEY GOT AWAY WITH MURDER ETC. IT WAS NOT A CATHOLIC THING TO DO! Father Jenkins! AS A U.S. CITIZEN, I DONT WANT AN AMERICAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. WE ARE ONE AMERICAN ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH POPE BENEDICT XVI.
Father Jenkins, It is obvious from your comments that the great Cardinal Newman Society which is dedicated to the renewal of Catholic Higher Education bugs you. Yet you heard what Pope Benedict XVI said last year about Catholic education; and you went ahead on your own and allowed the “Vagina Monologues” on campus. THAT WAS NOT A CATHOLIC THING TO DO. (To protect you, the organizers cancelled it for this year.)
Father Jenkins, I believe it is ridiculous for you to say, “On May 17th, we will welcome the ninth President who will receive an honorary degree from Notre Dame. It will be an important opportunity to bring the leader of our nation to Notre Dame, and I hope, a joyful day for our graduates and their families.” The line has been crossed and you and 6 of the 12 of your Academic Council Members ought to be replaced.
The telephone number of Notre Dame President Father Jenkins is: (574) 631-5000, fax 574-631-2770; e-mail president@nd.edu and http://president.nd.edu/contact-us

WAKE UP AMERICA!
WAKE UP AMERICA!
In support of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, April 14, 2009
Be forewarned that an attempted cultural revolution in America is taking place right now. It is similar to what happened in the 1960’s. We have the American ACLU Agenda being implemented by Troika and the Teleprompter. By Troika, I mean President Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod.
Here is a short list of the troubling changes from the newly formed Obama administration. Thanks to American Family Association: P.O. Drawer 2440, Tupelo, Ms 38803 – 662-844-5036 – www.AFA.Net: Please donate to them.
Within days of taking office, the president signed an executive order overturning a policy that kept the federal government from paying for abortions overseas.
He supports the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which would overturn any law that restricts abortion in any manner in the nation.
President Obama appointed Kansas (CINOP) Governor Kathleen Sebelius to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, Sebelius, a Catholic, was recently rebuked by the Archbishop of Kansas City for being so pro-abortion.
He supports open homosexuality in the U.S. military.
The president wants to expand hate crimes statutes to include sexual orientation.
The administration is committed to passing ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act) to include protection for sexual orientation or gender identity.
Obama has demonstrated a deep antipathy towards any serious efforts to protect traditional marriage against homosexual encroachment. He says his is against gay marriage but opposes a constitutional ban. At the same time, the president fully supports civil unions.
He wants to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
President Obama wants to expand adoption rights to include homosexuals.
He has lifted the ban to expand adoption rights to include homosexuals.
The new president opposes President Bush’s abstinence only education policy.
President Obama wants to reduce the amount of tax credit some Americans receive for donating to charities or churches.
ACTION ITEMS: UNDER NO CIRMSTANCES, VOTE FOR AN OBAMA POLITICIAN WHO IS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN 2010. JOIN AND PARTICIPATE IN ANY NEARBY TEA PARTY -TOMMORROW - APRIL 15TH.

Margaret Sanger's "Planned Parenthood"
Margaret Sanger’s “Planned Parenthood”
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Easter Sunday, April 12, 2009
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Hosea
Margaret Sanger, the founder of P.P., is in the news this week. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received “The Margaret Sanger Award” In Houston, Texas. During the event, Clinton said that emphasizing and promoting abortion is the key in President Barack Obama’s foreign policy. She also defended taxpayer funded abortions for poor women.
In Orange County, California Allyson Sonenshine, president of the Planned Parenthood board of directors, handed to the “Board of Supervisors” petition of 2400 names objecting to the cancellation of a contract with P.P. (The story is in Orange County Register, April 9, 2009)
So what is going on here? The public deserves an explanation.
Let’s take 5 of the 10 excerpts from Human Life International, April 17/98, Easter Friday. This is about Planned Parenthood.
1.)They’re the largest single promoter and provider of abortion in the world!
2.)They freely distribute contraceptives to teenage boys and girls – without parental knowledge or consent.
3.)They target minority groups, such as the Black community, where there are 3 times as many abortions as live births.
4.)They claim to be pro- “choice” – but the only choice they really offer is Abortion!
5.)Finally, follow the money trail. Planned Parenthood (PPFA) is one of the most profitable “non-profit” organizations in the world – earning more than $530 million in fiscal year 1997 alone!
Secondly, let us check out a classic well-researched book by Jonah
Goldberg, “Liberal Fascism” – The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning. The section on Abortion, p. 270 to 283: (posted on our - cinops be gone – p. 270-274- Aug. 17 & 29th, Sep. 17th, 2008)
Discover for yourself that Margaret Sanger was also a racist.
Margaret Sanger whose “American Birth Control League became Planned
Parenthood was the founder mother of the birth control movement. She is today considered a liberal saint, a founder of modern feminism, and one of the leading lights for the progressive pantheon…. Planned Parenthood gives out annual Maggie Awards to individuals and organizations who advance Sanger’s cause.
Recipients are a Who’s Who of liberal icons, from novelist John Irving to the producers of NBC’s “West Wing.” WHAT SANGER’S LIBERAL ADMIRERS ARE EAGER TO DOWNPLAY IS THAT IS THAT SHE WAS A THOROUGHGOING RACIST WHO SUBSCRIBED COMPLETELY TO THE VIEWS OF E.A. ROSS AND OTHER “RACEOLOGISTS.” INDEED, SHE MADE MANY OF THEM SEEM TAME. p. 270-271
Please support the new policy of the Supervisors that the money be spent on “direct clinic care,” and not the so-called health education of Planned Parenthood. Send e-mail petitions to chris.norby@ocgov.com and janet.nguyen@ocg.net for all 5 Supervisors.

Last Chance to Ask Obama Administration to Retain Conscience Protections Pro-Life Doctors --- By Kalthleen Gilbert
Washington, D.C. April 6, 2009 (LIfeSiteNews.com) – As the period for public comment draws to a close this week, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, as well as other prominent pro-life leaders, are calling on religious Americans and all men of good will to flood Washington with petitions to retain regulations protecting healthcare workers’ conscience rights.
The public comment period will end 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, April 9; thirty days after President Obama formally announced his intention to rescind the Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations in the Federal Register. A source within the HHS has told CatholicAnew.com, that a handful of comments received after the cutoff may be considered. … (Send your comments to proposedression@hhs.gov )
Princeton University professor Dr. Robert George is calling upon concerned Americans to call the White House, in addition to the HHS, with requests to keep the conscience protections. Call the White House comments line (202-456-1111, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Eastern, (Mon-Fri) and ask to leave the message for the President of the United States.

“In the long run, we have less to fear from foes without than from foes within;
for the former will be formidable only as the latter break our strength.” Theodore Roosevelt “The Foes of Our Own Household,” 1917
FIRSTLY, THE ENEMY IN THIS MATTER IS NOT THE OBAMA ADMINSTRATION. IT IS THE 16 CATHOLIC-LABEL SENATORS WHO REJECTED THE CONSCIENCE CLAUSE. They and their Catholic-label cohorts in Congress need to be thrown out of office in 2010.
Secondly, be forewarned that as a very concerned reasonable pro-life activist, I am sending my comments to the above suspect e-mail and to an administration of ACLU type- readers. We don’t like each other. MOST INFORMED TRADITIONAL AMERICANS
CONSIDER THE ACLU THE MOST DANGEROUS ORGANIZATION IN THE U.S.A.
Instead of lobbyists, the Obama administration has littered and infected the government with ACLU, NARAL and pro-abortion ideologues Gong Ho. The American people did not vote for these characters or the elimination of the Conscience Clause for Doctors and Health Care Workers. And this has to do not only with abortion but also with assisted-suicide, euthanasia, and embryonic stem-cell research. They are 4 absolute evils.
We have a novel attack by vote on the Constitution and the individual rights of American citizens and freedom of religion. It is unconstitutional even if a majority of the population calls in and says take away their conscience and freedom of religious beliefs.
What we have here is the legalization of a national secular religion and that is unconstitutional. Do we need to enact the law first and bring it to the Supreme Court? It is obvious to me that the trampling of individual conscience rights is unconstitutional.
Is this a way to get control of Catholic and other religious hospitals for National Health Care? This is a matter that needs to be adjudicated by the U.S. Supreme Court.
I CALL FOR CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION GOES AHEAD WITH THE ELIMINATION OF THE CONSCIENCE CLAUSE FOR DOCTORS AND HEALTH CARE.

The Notre Dame Knights of Columbus 1447
The Notre Dame Knights of Columbus Council 1447
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, April 6, 2009
The Notre Dame Knights of Columbus Council 1447 have officially joined the Notre Dame Response efforts, and have issued a statement expressing their concern with the University’s decision: (via action: www.notredamescandal.com)
We, the Knights of Notre Dame Council 1477, wish to express our sadness and disappointment concerning the invitation to President Barack Obama to be this year’s principal commencement speaker and the recipient of an honorary doctorate of laws from the University of Notre Dame du Lac.
The Knights of Columbus is not a political organization; rather, our disappointment stems from our identity as a markedly Catholic, and thus pro-life, organization residing on a Catholic campus. President Obama has taken a decisive legal action against the fundamental right to life of the most vulnerable members of our society. There, we disagree with the decision to present President Obama with an honorary degree from the University of Notre Dame.
We hold the office of the President in the highest regard; in addition we applaud the work that the President Obama has done to promote social justice and racial equality.
These are important teaching of the Catholic Church and goals of the Knights of Columbus. However, we disagree with the President on this non-negotiable and fundamental point of morality: the respect for the dignity of human life from conception to natural death.
Therefore, as a Catholic organization, we naturally look to our Holy Father and the bishops for guidance when facing controversial moral decisions. Pope Benedict XVI, then-Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, together with Pope John Paul II the Great, clearly stated the church’s position in the 2002 Doctrinal Note entitled “The Participation of the Catholics In political Life.”
In recent years, there have been cases within some organizations founded on Catholic principles, in which support as been given to political forces or movements with positions contrary to the moral and social teaching of the Church on fundamental ethical questions. Such activities, in contradiction to basic principles of Christian conscience, are not compatible with membership in organizations or associations which define themselves as Catholic.
The conferral of an honorary degree implies support of President Obama’s interpretation and implementation of the law. According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2004 statement, “The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.” Therefore, we encourage the University of Notre Dame to remain faithful to our Holy Father, the bishops, and the University’s mission as a Catholic institution.
Finally, this invitation to President Obama is particularly saddening because it has caused division amongst the graduating seniors as well as the entire Notre Dame family. We must not lose sight of the purpose of commencement as a time of unity and a celebration of the hard work of the graduating class. We should honor the seniors, who have achieved so much, and controversy should not tarnish their commencement day.
Over the next several weeks, we shall, in accord with the Holy Father’s 2002 Doctrinal Note, fulfill the “right and duty of Catholics and all citizens to seek the truth with sincerity and to promote and defend, by legitimate means, moral truths concerning society, justice, freedom, respect for human life and the other rights of the person.” We respectfully voice our opposition to this decision, reaffirm our support of statements from our Holy Father and the bishops, and continually pray for an increased respect for the lives of the unborn. We call upon our Brother Knights and all the faithful around the world to pray for an increased respect for all life and for greater fidelity to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Dutifully, Notre Dame Knights of Columbus Council 1477

The Notre Dame Knights of Columbus Council 1447 have officially joined the Notre Dame Response efforts, and have issued a statement expressing their concern with the University’s decision: (via action: www.notredamescandal.com)
We, the Knights of Notre Dame Council 1477, wish to express our sadness and disappointment concerning the invitation to President Barack Obama to be this year’s principal commencement speaker and the recipient of an honorary doctorate of laws from the University of Notre Dame du Lac.
The Knights of Columbus is not a political organization; rather, our disappointment stems from our identity as a markedly Catholic, and thus pro-life, organization residing on a Catholic campus. President Obama has taken a decisive legal action against the fundamental right to life of the most vulnerable members of our society. There, we disagree with the decision to present President Obama with an honorary degree from the University of Notre Dame.
We hold the office of the President in the highest regard; in addition we applaud the work that the President Obama has done to promote social justice and racial equality.
These are important teaching of the Catholic Church and goals of the Knights of Columbus. However, we disagree with the President on this non-negotiable and fundamental point of morality: the respect for the dignity of human life from conception to natural death.
Therefore, as a Catholic organization, we naturally look to our Holy Father and the bishops for guidance when facing controversial moral decisions. Pope Benedict XVI, then-Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, together with Pope John Paul II the Great, clearly stated the church’s position in the 2002 Doctrinal Note entitled “The Participation of the Catholics In political Life.”
In recent years, there have been cases within some organizations founded on Catholic principles, in which support as been given to political forces or movements with positions contrary to the moral and social teaching of the Church on fundamental ethical questions. Such activities, in contradiction to basic principles of Christian conscience, are not compatible with membership in organizations or associations which define themselves as Catholic.

16 Catholic Senators Reject Conscience Clause
16 Catholic Senators Reject Conscience Clause
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, April 6, 2009
Thank you, Lisa Correnti for the information that follows; and as Founder and Director of www.onenationundergod.org /cta_coburn_conscience_clause.html – 4/5/2009
Senator Coburn proposed an amendment to the budget bill that would keep the conscience clause in place and give health care workers protection from having to perform professional duties that violate their religious freedom, like abortions. Only 9 Catholic Senators Support –16 Reject.
16 Catholic Senators Reject Conscience Protection After Bishops Call For Support:
Yesterday, pro-life Senator Tom Coburn (R-Ok) offered an amendment to the budget bill that would protect the conscience for health care workers, which is currently under review and may be rescinded by President Obama.
The Coburn amendment stated, “To protect the freedom of conscience for patients and the right of health care providers to serve patients without violating their moral & religious convictions.”
The amendment was rejected 41-56. Sixteen Catholic Senators failed to recognize the importance of this regulation which would guarantee the rights of conscience for all Americans.
Without the protection of the conscience clause many people with religious beliefs will be forced to take part in professional duties that compromise their moral convictions.
Last month, Bishop William F. Murphy, chairman of the Committee on Domestic, Justice and Human Development of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), responded to the Obama administrations announcement of their intent to remove the HHS protections.
Taking aback the regulations “raises a real issue, because the statutes are intended to protect human rights – rights of conscience and rights of freedom of religion,” Bishop Murphy said. “So why should everyone be concerned about this? Because if one person’s rights can be compromised, everybody’s rights can be compromised.”… “The lay men and women of our churches, of our parishes across the country have to be the voices* of the Catholic Church today….”
Washington Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl also urged Catholics to take action and make their voices heard. Speaking to the John Carroll Society on March 22, CNS reported the Archbishop stating, “If a federal regulation protecting the conscience rights of health care providers is revoked, Catholic doctors, nurses and others may be required to participate in abortion or other procedures that violate their moral or religious principles.”
Apparently some Catholic lawmakers do not see this is a violation of one’s religious freedom. Do they believe one’s right to obtain a chemical or surgical abortion trumps the rights of all others? It is time these Catholic Senators hear from the bishops. The 9 Catholic Senators voting to support the Coburn amendment were: Murkowski (R-Ak),Risch (R-ID), Brownbeck (R-KS), Bunning (R-KY), Vitter(R-LA), Johanns (R-NE), Voinovich(R-OH, and Casey (D-PA).
The sixteen Catholic Senators opposing the Coburn amendment are: Begich (D-AK), Dodd (D-CT), Kaufman (D-CT), Durbin (D-IL), Harkin (D-IA),
Landrieu (D-LA), Collins (R-ME), Mikulski (D-MD), Kerry (D-MA), McCaskill (D-MO),
Menedez (D-NJ), Gillbrand (D-NY), Reed (D-RI), Leahy (D-VT), Cantwell (D-WA),
Murray (D-WA), Senator Kennedy did not vote.
Calling All Catholics: It is our duty as Catholic constituents to hold our elected officials responsible. Please contact these Catholic Senators. Express your disappointment with their failure to protect religious freedom for all Americans. Please also contact their local ordinary. It is the duty of the local ordinary to seek counsel with these lawmakers so they clearly understand the social teaching of the Church. (THE ABOVE IS UNBELIEVABLE, BUT THAT’S THE REALITY.)
George H. Kubeck, Please mail this letter to all U.S.Catholic bishops for personal and public action.

Father Jenkins' Academic Council & USCCB - 2
Father Jenkins’s Academic Council & USCCB – 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, April 5, 2009
This is the second letter in a series of letters on the Notre Dame Scandal. The invitation to President Obama was not ‘a Catholic thing to do’.
THIS INVITATION CROSSED THE LINE AND MUST NOT STAND! The truth and widespread knowledge of the truth is the Church’s most powerful weapon. It is a ‘No’ to Religious correctness. Refer to the book by Pope Benedict XVI, Co-Workers of the Truth, which is the standard we can follow.
When you reread the comments made by the bishops in my first letter you feel ‘a breadth of fresh air’. At last, thinking with the Church with some kind of common Catholic identity. Let this not go away. Let’s focus on this scandal right up to the time the invitation is rescinded or to May 17th.
I believe Father Jenkins and his cohorts acted in a mode of modern Catholic religious correctness which is obsolete and will not stand anymore.
1.)The decision flies in the face of the U.S. Bishops’ 2004 “Catholics in Political Life” statement, which reads, “Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions. This applies to Catholics and non-Catholics alike. {What the USCCB left out are the other three evils in this dirty little secret: assisted-suicide, euthanasia and same-sex marriage. The time has come for Catholics to be fully informed by you on politicians prior to elections.}
2.)The best analysis was by Bishop Thomas Olmstead of the Phoenix diocese in a letter to the university that the honor is: “A PUBLIC ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE TO THE BISHOPS OF THE UNITED STATES.” {It’s also in your face, Pope Benedict XVI}
3.)Prominent Notre Dame Law Professor Charles Rice wrote that Fr. Jenkins should resign over this scandal, along with other Fellows and Trustees.
4.)It is a slap in the face of many students who are graduating and wondering whether or not in good conscience they should attend their graduation. It is not fair to deliberately cause divisions among students and teachers.
5.)“Notre Dame has chosen prestige over principles, popularity over morality.
Whatever may be President Obama’s admirable qualities, this honor comes on the heels of some of the most anti-life actions of any American president: including expanding federal funding for abortions and inviting taxpayer-funded research on stem cells from human embryos." Judie Brown
6.)Alan Keyes, “Barack Obama is the living incarnation of the glamour or evil.
His smiley tones, and non threatening manner, mask a studied commitment to the promotion of the most deadly evil in the world today- the cult of abortion on the ritual of child sacrifice…. to prove his claim to the mantle of High Priest of the Worldwide Abortion cult.”
7.)All Catholic bishops are obliged to take action in a situation like this. As
the Church document “Ex Ecclesiae” teaches.

In pursuit of the truth- www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, April 1, 2009
This is the first in a series of letters on the Notre Dame Scandal. Let’s listen to the words of some bishops, archbishops and Cardinal George who is the ninth bishop to speak out against the scandal. (LifeSiteNews.com March 31st 2009)
1.) Cardinal Francis George, Archbishop of Chicago, has said that the University of Notre Dame’s decision to host and honor President Obama at their commencement ceremony was an “EXTREME EMBARRASSMENT” to Catholics.
“Whatever else it is, it is clear that Notre Dame didn’t understand what it means to be Catholic when they issued this invitation.”…
Cardinal George prefaced his remarks by noting that although he is president of the USCCB, he does not have jurisdiction or authority over other bishops. His role, he indicated, nonetheless has “some moral authority, without any kind of jurisdiction or any sort of real authority.”…
George said he had spoken with the administrative committee of the bishops’ conference and corresponded with the University president Fr. John Jenkins several times on the issue.
“That conversation will continue …. Whether or not it will have some kind of consequence that will bring, I think, the University of Notre Dame to its {the USCCB’s} understanding of what it means to be Catholic,” said the Cardinal. “That is, when you’re Catholic, everything you do changes the life of everybody else who calls himself a personal Catholic – it’s a network of relationships. “So quite apart from the president’s own positions, which are well known, THE PROBLEM IS IN THAT YOU HAVE A CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY – THE FLAGSHIP CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY – DO SOMETHING THAT BROUGHT EXTREME EMBARRASSMENT TO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE CATHOLIC.”
“So whatever else is clear, it is clear that Notre Dame didn’t understand what it means to be Catholic when they issued this invitation, and didn’t anticipate the kind of uproar that would be consequent to the decision, at least not to be extent that it has happened,” said George.
THE CARDINAL URGED CONCERNED CATHOLICS “TO DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DOING, TO CALL, TO EMAIL, TO WRITE LETTERS, TO EXPRESS WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART ABOUT THE EMBARRASSMENT, THE DIFFICULTIES.”

http://www.notredamescandal.com
2.) Today the Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) published a letter to the school by Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota Archbishop John C. Nienstedt, who protested the “egregious decision” on the part of Notre Dame president Fr. John Jenkins to honor Obama. (LifeSiteNews.com, Tues. March 31, 2009)
Listing Obama’s record against life, Nienstedt wrote, “It is a travesty that the University of Notre Dame, considered by many to be a Catholic University, should give its public support to such an anti-Catholic politician. “I HOPE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO RECONSIDER THIS DECISION. IF NOT, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ME TO SUPPORT YOUR UNIVERSITY IN THE FUTURE.” HE CONCLUDED.
3.) Notre Dame’s own bishop John D’Arcy criticized the move and announced his intention to boycott the ceremony last week.
4.) At the second annual Illinois Catholic Prayer in Chicago on Friday in Chicago on Friday, Bishop Morlino of Madison said he would not have invited Obama, according the Catholic Citizens of Illinois…
George H. Kubeck,
P.S. Will this clarity in Catholic thinking finally focus in on the CINOPS evil agenda?

Code Pink
Code Pink
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, April 4, 2009
Medea Benjamin is the founder of Code Pink, an anti-war activist group. She claims contact with 200,000 adherents. Bill O’Reilly interviewed her the other day. Last year on television, I saw her group protesting in front of a Marine Recruitment Center in Oakland. Who is responsible for Code Pink’s mindset?
As we study the mind and heart of these protesters, let me share with you three excerpts from a book* by David Horowitz and Ben Johnson.
1.) General Ion Mihai Pacepa was the highest-ranking intelligence official ever to defect from the Soviet bloc during the Cold War. In a commentary about the attacks on President Bush during the war in Iraq, Pacepa recalled: “Sowing the seeds of anti-Americanism by discrediting the American president was one of the main tasks of the Soviet-bloc intelligence community during the years I worked at its top level.” …
During the Vietnam War, General Pacepa wrote, Soviet intelligence “spread vitriolic stories around the world, pretending that America’s presidents sent Genghis Khan-style barbarian soldiers to Vietnam who raped at random, taped electrical wires to human genitals, cut off limbs, blew-up bodies and razed entire villages. Those weren’t facts. They were our tails, but … as Yuri Andropov, who conceived this dezinformatsiya war against the U.S., used to tell me, people are more willing to believe smut than holiness.”
Nor did this campaign to discredit the United States stop with Vietnam: As Pacepa explains: “The final goal of our anti-American offensive was to discourage the United States from protecting the world against communist terrorism and expansion. Sadly, we succeeded. After U.S. forces massacred some two million people in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Another million tried to escape, but many died in the attempt. This tragedy also created a credibility gap between America and the rest of the world, damaged the cohesion of American foreign policy, and poisoned domestic debate in the United States.”
2.) While John F. Kennedy had summoned a previous generation of Democrats to “ask not what your country can do for you – {but} what you can do for your country,” the McGovern Democrats asked, “Why is our country hated?” as though their might be a reasonable answer. Unlike President Bush, who believes that America is hated because of its freedoms, the Left believes America is hated because it fits the profile the enemy has framed for it, an imperial oppressor of the weak and poor.
McGovern’s call for America to come home was not a plan to conserve America’s strength and restore America’s integrity. It was a plan to quarantine the American virus and save others from the infection….
3.) Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, a Democrat who had left her party, would later call the new party leadership the “blame America first’ crowd.” Minimizing the threat of Communism, they viewed Marxist aggressions as understandable reactions to “root causes,” such as American “militarism” and “imperialism,” and the global market system. Instead of asking, “How does the totalitarian enemy threaten us and what can we do about it?” the Blame America-Firsters were asking, “Why do they hate us?” and “How can we appease them and atone for our guilt?” These questions rapidly became the twin concerns of a new, “progressive” foreign policy consensus, and the New York convention nominated Carter as its presidential candidate.
Anyone who has followed the anti-American war movement for decades will include the above excerpts in their analysis. Will history repeat itself under Obama? In some ways, Marx has had more influence on today’s America than our Founding Fathers.
