RESTORING GOD'S GLORY

BY POPE EMERITUS BENEDICT XVI, CO-WORKERS OF THE TRUTH, IGNATIUS PRESS, SAN FRANCISCO, 1992

"The biblical shalom (peace) which is usually so translated, implies much more the absence of armed conflict, it means the right order of human affairs, well-being - a world where trust and friendship prevail, where neither fear nor want nor treachery nor dishonesty is found.

 

Yet the son of the angels first lays down a precondition , without which there can be no lasting peace: God's glory. This is the message of peace at Bethlehem: peace among men resulting from God's glory. ...

 

It is a public affair. It is a common good, and wherever God is not honored among men, there man as well will not remain honorable. The reason why Christmas affects the peace of man lies in this:because it has restored God's glory among men."  Meditation December 29th.

 

"This Child is God's Son", as one of our old Christmas carols has it... He has established a union with man so inseparable that this man truly is God from God, light from light, and yet always true man as well.

 

The meaning of the world has come to us in such a real way that it can be touched and seen... This meaning is a message, addressed us. This meaning is not some general principle, in which we might play a certain part. No, it addresses each one of us personally. It is itself a Person: the living God's own son, born in stable in Bethlehem."  Meditation December 30th.

 

O Lord, my chosen portion and my cup:

You hold my lot in your hands (Ps 16:5)

 

"The pagan world view was also familiar with the image of the lots, but with entirely different premises: the world is a game of luck governed by one rule - blind chance. Time,  altogether blind, spews out the lots, of this kind and that.

 

The Bible has fundamentally transformed this frightening image. Indeed, there is a cup with the lots, containing winners and losers. But this cup with the lots is held "in your hands", in the hands of eternal Wisdom and eternal Love. This is the indispensable premise that alone can provide for man any hope at all.

 

Because the cup is in his hands, the only losing lot would be the refusal to accept at all the lot from His hands.  ... In your hands, there rest my temples. Thus an image arises of ourselves entrusting our head, our temples, to God's good hands.  ... - into the hands of eternal Wisdom, which is eternal Love and so our only true Hope. And so, we put this new year, the new time and our future, into the hands of God: Lord, do accept us, and grant us your blessing!" ... December 31st

The Ant and the Grasshopper

Love the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Holy Innocent Martyrs- Sat. Dec. 28/13

 

Nicholas Wishek has a great article in the Orange County Register, Decision Time for America, What kind of Nation do we want to be? Thursday, December 26, 2013, Opinion Section.

 

GHK: The religion of secularism has been relentless in its attack on traditional America. Personally, they are at war with my America. Mine is a legal immigrant's point of view. I chose to be an American not a French European American. That is what President Obama wants to change us into.   The progressives are also using psychological warfare and doing their best to promote the grasshopper American in our country.

 

A normal Presidency would be embarrassed in promoting 47 million people on food stamps and lowering the eligibility for getting welfare and lifetime disability insurance. What we have is a lying Presidency who sold us Obamacare which is a fraud. Have we also become a nation of liars and believers in lies? Our nation was built by hardworking ants and not grasshoppers.

 

Here are Nicholas Wishek excerpts from his article:

"Social progressives are dedicated to transforming us into a nation of grasshoppers. For the best of humanitarian reasons, liberals want big government to protect people from their own mistakes.

 

The problem, as long as we are dusting off hoary cliches, is that giving a man a fish feeds him for a day, but teaching a man to fish feeds him for a lifetime. Liberals don't seem to grasp this concept.

 

Traditional-minded Americans want a much smaller, less intrusive government that encourages people to behave more responsively. And they want a government that rewards those who work hard and make sound choices.

 

This basic disagreement should be debated in the court of public opinion as fairly and even-handedly as possible, but it isn't. As Charles Krauthammer wrote, "Liberals think conservatives are evil." This makes honest discourse difficult at best.

 

Consider the kinds of accusations progressives throw at conservatives, especially those identified as members of the Tea Party... conservatives want the needy left to suffer or die, children go hungry and allow unfettered capitalism to exploit the middle class. This is not reasoned dialogue aimed to resolve differences.

 

Conservative have no objection to a safety net for those in dire circumstance through no fault of their own. They just don't want that net to become a web trapping Americans into a lifetime of dependency. By using government to protect people from their own poor judgment or work ethic liberals have condemned some families to generational welfare... by rewarding parents' poor choices children grow up expecting government largesse as a way of life.

 

Tax dollars collected at the expense of penalizing those who work hard and make responsible decisions are what pays for this largesse. That discourages effort. Liberals should ask what will happen to the grasshoppers when they are not enough ants left to provide for them.

 

Another question liberals should ask is why they believe government is so much better than private enterprise and individuals at making decisions? What government program runs efficiently? Compare UPS to the Post Office. Or, better yet, Amazon.com's web site to the Affordable Care Act's. A big problem conservatives have with taxes is that just that taxes are too high, but government wastes so much...."

The Word Became Flesh

By Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI*

 

" The Word became flesh. Alongside this Johannine truth there has to be put also the Marian truth as rendered by Luke. God has become flesh. This is not only an immensely great and remote happening, it something very close and human. God became a child who needed a mother.

 

He became a child, someone born with tears on his cheeks, whose first utterance is a cry for help, whose first gesture consists in outreached hands searching for protection. God became a child.

 

Nowadays we also hear it being said, in contrast that this, after all, would be nothing but a sentimentality better put aside. Yet the New Testament thinks differently.

 

For the faith of the Bible and the Church, it is important that God desired to be such a creature who had to depend on a mother, on the sheltering love of humans.

 

He wished to independent in order to awaken in us love that purifies and redeems. God became a child, and every child is dependent.

 

To be a child thus contains already theme of the search for shelter, the elementary motif of Christmas. And how many variations has this motif seen in our history!

 

In our days we experience this anew and in disturbing ways: the child knocks on the doors of our world. The child is knocking. This search for shelter is profound.

 

There is indeed an atmosphere of hostility towards children, but this is not preceded by an attitude that altogether bars any child from entering this world because there would be no more room for him? The child knocks.

 

If we were to receive him we are to rethink thoroughly our own attitude to human life. Here we are dealing with fundamentals, with our very concept of what it means to be human: to live in grandiose selfishness or in confident freedom that knows its vocation to be united in love, to be free to accept one another."

THE UNBORN CHILD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PROTECTING THE FEELINGS  OR POWER OF THE CATHOLIC-IN-NAME-ONLY POLITICIAN. THAT IS THE REALITY IN AMERICA.

The Silence in Christmas

By Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI*

 

"Silence means to develop an inner sensitivity, a sensitivity for our conscience, for the eternal within us, and an openness for God speaking to us. The dinosaurs are said to have become extinct because their development went in the wrong direction:

 

Plenty of armor plate and little brain, plenty of muscle and little sense. Are we not also about to develop in the wrong direction: plenty of technology but little soul? a thick armor plate of material expertise but an emptied heart? dearth of the ability to perceive God's voice in us, to recognize and acknowledge what is good and beautiful and true.

 

Christmas beckons us to enter into God's silence; and his mystery remains unknown to so many because they cannot find the silence in which God is active. How can we find it?  Absence of words alone does not yet produce it. For a person may well remain silent outwardly, while inside he is completely torn apart by the restlessness of so many things.

 

A person may well be silent, yet there is a frightening noise inside of him. To enter into silence means: to discover a new inner order. It means to concentrate not only on things that can be defined and demonstrated. I*t means to gaze not only on things that have worldly value and can be traded.

 

Is it no high time for an adjustment in our "evolutionary" course? Such an adjustment, of course, can hardly consist in some misguided rejection of human work and the cultivation of the earth. It has to consist in restoring the moral and religious sense to its rightful place in man.

 

Silence as demanded by faith, consists in this: that the human person be not totally be not totally absorbed and managed by the systems of our commercial and technical civilization.

 

We have to recognize anew that between science and superstition there exists a reality in the middle - a deeper moral and religious insight, which alone wards off superstition and make man truly human by keeping him exposed to the light of God. From: Lob der Weihmacht, pp. 30f.

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that we hope for is going to happen. It is the evident of things we cannot yet see. God gave his approval to people in days of old because of their faith.

 

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

 

It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. God accepted Abel's offerings to show that he was a righteous man...

 

It was by faith that Noah built an ark to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about something about never that had happened before. By his faith he condemned the rest of the world and was made right in God's sight.

 

It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going...

 

It was by faith that Sarah together with Abraham was able to have a child, even though they were too old and Sarah was barren. Abraham believed that God would keep his promise...

 

It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God's promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son Isaac, ...

 

It was by faith that Moses parents hid for three  months. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid of what the king might do.

 

It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be treated as the son of Pharaoh's daughter...

 

It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho seven days, and the walls came crashing down....

 Throw Them All Out!

Truth is the most powerful weapon. http://www.cinopsbegone.org - Tuesday, December 17, 2013

Commentary: The President of the United States lied to us about Obamacare.This was a fraudulent sales pitch. In a normal America, President Barack Obama would be forced to resign. Truth must prevail. However with a manufactured media celebrity President Barack Obama  is given a pass. The end does not justify the means. Do we want to live in a Twilight  Zone of lies and corruption?

 

I GOT THIS LETTER IN THE MAIL. ---Throw Them all Out! --- From the Desk of Peter Schweizer

Dear Friend:

 

I spent two years researching and writing Throw Them All Out!, the book that exposed the scandal of insider stock trading by powerful ... and corrupt ... members of both political parties.

 

After my book received widespread media coverage, including a blockbuster story on 60 minutes, both Houses of Congress moved with amazing partisan speed to act on legislation to outlaw such insider trading where members of Congress use information they obtain in the course of their work to profit on the stock market.

 

I am glad that my book caused such a stir and forced the politicians on Capitol Hill to take action. But I knew that monitoring, exposing and publicizing the corrupt behavior of members of Congress takes more than a book ... even a book that creates as much impact as my Throw Them All Out!

 

That is why I am such a fan of Judicial Watch.

 

Day in and Day out for the past 18 years, Judicial Watch* has brought its powerful combination of investigative and legal resources to bears on the persistent problem of corruption in Washington DC. Just like me, Judicial Watch is conservative and not partisan. It comes down just as hard on corrupt Republican politicians as it does on corrupt Democrats.

 

Judicial Watch shares my belief in open and transparent government, which is under unprecedented assault in Washington today. As an American citizen and as someone with great appreciation for the important work they do, I want to thank you for your financial support of Judicial Watch... I strongly encourage you to help this great and vitally important organization do its work on behalf of the American people.

 

Sincerely,

Peter Schweizer

* I (George H. Kubeck) have been a member of Judicial Watch for almost 18 years.

 

P.S. "Judicial Watch is your government watchdog in Washington - the largest and most effective in the country. And as a non-profit organization we rely entirely on individual donors like you... especially not as Barack Obama and his secretive, radical team wield power. To date, we have launched more than 1,150 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, and prosecuted more than 120 lawsuits against the Obama administration to hold it accountable under the law.

 The President Lied to Us

Truth is a powerful weapon. http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Our Lady of Guadeloupe, Thursday, December 12, 2013

This article by Senior Catholic Writer Phyllis Schalfly*

 

"If you like your health insurance you can keep it period." Those words will haunt Barack Obama through the remainder of his term and probably achieve eternal life in books of memorable quotations.

 

Obama's words will levy even more contemporary embarrassment and political immortality than George H. W. Bush's "Read my lips. No new taxes," or Bill Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." ...

 

Obama's famous line is worse than the others because it was a gross lie about something that matters to millions of Americans and costs them lots of money. His line is also unforgettable  because he repeated it so many times(37 times according to PolitiFact) and because his staff knew it was a lie when they put it on the TelePrompTer and notepad for Obama to read.

 

To compound his contempt for the American people, Obama's so-called apology was not an apology at all. It was a bunch of soft-cell words to enable his media sycophants to pretend it was an apology.

 

Now Obama is trying to cover his tracks by revising what he said. His revision of this promise is that you can keep your health insurance, but it must be a better plan.

 

"Better"of course, means it must cover more medical conditions and services that you don't want or need, such as pregnancy for men and women over age 50, anti-addiction therapies, and the new mandate to give equal coverage to mental problems.

 

Contrary to reports by the media, Obama did not apologize for lying to the American people. He did not say he is sorry for lying to us. He said he is "sorry" that some people find themselves in "situation" based on his "assurances" that were "not a clear as we needed to be." ...

 

The American public is left with an Obamacare website that does not work and has become fodder for late-night comedy routines. The District of Columbia signed up only five Obamacare enrollees for the month of October, at an average cost to the taxpayer of $26.7 million apiece. For the 26.7 million, an individual could receive a valuable amount of medical care. Instead, under Obamacare, the American public is receiving little more than frustration bureaucracy and broken promises...

 

Now we find that a doctor shortage is threatening to make the rollout of Obamacare even more difficult. Obama added another very "clear" statement when he spoke to the American Medical Association on June 15, 2009. "No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan, Period. No one will take it away, no matter what. "Obama's lie about medical insurance nestles firmly in his administration's pattern of deception about other issues. His push for annesty is also encrusted with lies.

 

Start with the repeated promise that any annesty deal will include closing the border to future illegals. Those promises have been repeated for years, and the administration obviously has no intention of closing the border to illegal entrants.

 

Congress passed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 by 283 to 138 in the House and 80 to 19 in the Senate Knowing of the bill's overwhelming popularity, President George W. Bush invited the press to photograph him signing the bill, and we cheered the photo-up. The most interesting part of the Secure Fence Act is that this overwhelmingly popular law was never funded. So, therefore, why is it so difficult to refuse funding the most unpopular law in our time, Obamacare?"

Advent: St. Nicholas a.k.a. Santa Claus

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Saturday, December 7, 2013

 

"If you were in the streets yesterday and today you certainly met him frequently - him being Saint Nicholas, dressed more or less correctly as a bishop, and surely never without the flowing white beard typical of his pictures since the eight century.

 

"More or less bishop like is what these figures of St. Nicholas say and do; often they act in boogeymen rather than representing the saint's love told in legends in many variations. Precisely who was he in historical fact?

 

"Tradition has always identified Saint Nicholas with the bishop Nicholas who was a participant at the council of Nicaea and who, together with that first great assembly of bishops, formulated the profession of faith in the true divinity of Christ.

 

"From a different angle the most ancient source about Nicholas leads us into the same direction. Nicholas is one of the first of those venerated as saints without being martyrs.

 

"During the time when Christians were persecuted, those who resisted the power of the pagan state and in defense of their faith pledged their very lives were spontaneously looked upon as the guiding lights of the Faith.

 

"One of the sacred legends aptly states that all kinds of miracles could also be repeated by sorcerers and demons, and so they would remain ambiguous. One thing only would be totally unambiguous and not open to any deception; to practice goodness a whole life long; to live the Faith and hold fast to love in the common affairs of every day.

 

"The people of the fourth century experience this miracle in Nicholas, and all the other miracle stories, invented by later legends...

Excerpts from a homily:

"The Trinity is gazing down on humanity. They decide that the Son will become a man. If we gaze upon humanity what do we see.... Last week we saw the celebration of a vast sea of consumerism and a stampede, fighting over the purchase of special sales.... God looks down upon us with mercy and compassion looking  beyond materialism... That was the first Sunday of Advent ... Jesus in among the vast ocean of humanity...

"Advent is about embracing the darkness and looking for the light of Jesus... If we have the eyes to see... You have to be able to recognize that life on this earth is meaningless. However, there is something in life. It is Jesus Christ that gives us meaning in life... Jesus entered the world and gives purpose, embracing the darkness at the same time... It is the finding the light of Jesus in the darkness...

"The mystery of God stepping into the darkness and Jesus Christ entering this world bringing life and the ultimate is God himself...

"Advent is about embracing the darkness our humanity is at the same time finding the light of Jesus... Advent is the season to celebrate the Incarnation... Our whole life is one long Advent... Let us live out that reality." Excerpts from Co-Workers of the Truth, Cardinal Ratzinger, Med., Dec. 6/13

George Washington concluded his first Inaugural Address:

"No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States. Every step which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency... We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained"

The Gospel according to Saul Alinsky

In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Friday, September 13, 2013

 

What is it about the writings of Saul Alinsky that captures the beliefs of not only our President Barack Obama but also Hillary Clinton and even a CINOP MSNBC Talk Show Host.

 

I wish you could read the writings of ex-communist David Horowitz. His Freedom Center has a booklet titled, Barack Obama's "Rules for Revolution, The Alinsky Model" will help you understand this unknown President of ours. Here are some excerpts from pages 18-21.

 

"In The 18th Brumaire, Marx himself summed up the radical's passion by invoking a comment of Goethe's Mephistopheles: "Everything that exist deserves to perish." ...

 

"The many names of Satan are also a model for the way radicals camouflage their agendas by calling themselves at different times Communists, socialists, new lefties, liberals, social justice activists and most consistently progressives....

 

"Alinsky's tribute to Satan as the first radical is further instructive because it reminds us that the radical illusion is an ancient one and has not changed through the millennia. Recall how Satan tempted God and Eve to destroy their paradise: If you will rebel against God's command the "You shall be as gods." This is the radical hubris" We can create a new world. Through our political power we can make a new race of men and women who will live in harmony and peace and according to the principles of social justice. We can be as gods....

 

"The Jacobin attempt to liquidate Catholics and their faith was the precursor of Lenin's destruction of 100,000 churches in the Soviet Union to purge Russia of reactionary ideas. The "Temple of Reason" was replicated by the Bolsheviks' creation of "People's Church" whose mission was to usher in the "worker's paradise." This mission led to the murder not of 40,000 as in the Vendee, but 40 million before its merciful collapse - with progressives cheering its progress and mourning its demise.

 

"The radical fantasy of an earthly redemption takes many forms, with similar results:

*The chimera of "sexual liberation" caused leftists to condemn and ban the proven public health methods for combating AIDS - testing and contact tracing - as "homophobic," leading directly to the preventable deaths of more than 300,000 gay men in the prime of life.

* The crusade to rid mankind of the scourge of DDT, which was launched in the 1960s by the American environmentalist Rachel Carson, led to a global ban on the use of DDT and the return of malaria. This has resulted in the deaths of 100 million children, mainly black Africans under the age of five.

#The left's campaign to build a welfare utopia under the umbrella of the "Great Society" destroyed the inner city black family, spawned millions of fatherless black children, and created intractable poverty and a violent underclass which  is still with us."

 

George H. Kubeck: FYI- CINOP JERRY BROWN TO SIGN BILL ALLOWING NON-PHYSICIANS TO PERFORM CALIF. ABORTION.

First Sunday in Advent*

 

In the thirteenth chapter of the letter Saint Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome he says, "The hour has come ... the night is far spent, day is near. Let us therefore cast aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

 

Let us conduct ourselves honorably as in daylight, not in revelries and drunkenness, without lewdness and debauchery, without quarrels and dissension.No, put on the Lord Jesus Christ ..."

 

Advent, accordingly means to get up, to be awake, to rise from the sleep! What is St. Paul trying to say? What he means by "night" he expresses clearly through terms such as "revelries, drunkenness, lewdness and quarrels."

 

The nighttime orgy with everything it implies is for him a representation of man in darkness, man asleep. It serves him as an image of the pagan world as such, a world drowning in materialism, persisting in the darkness of its blindness to the truth, and half asleep in spite of all its loud and hectic activity, because it ignores the essentials of our vocations as human.

 

The nocturnal orgy of world gone wrong - are  we not compelled to realize, with dismay, how accurately St. Paul describes here our own times as well, times that are sliding back into  paganism?

 

To rise from sleep - this means to rise from conformity with such a world and with such times, courageous in virtue, courageous in faith to shake off the dream that prevents us from recognizing our vocation and our highest potential.

 

The songs of Advent, which we hear ever so often during these weeks, could perhaps become for us a beacon of light that show us the way and make us lift up our eyes to acknowledge promises so much greater than those base on money, power, and pleasure.

 

To be awake for God and for our neighbor - this is the meaning of the Advent call to stay wake. Such staying awake finds the light and makes the world a brighter place.
