Preface: (F.Y.I. - For Your Information:) - Veritas - Natural Law -Common Sense

    The Jesuit Order was banished at least once in Catholic Church history. Both St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI had most serious problems with them. The Arrupe Jesuits of today are not the same Loyola Jesuits of the Reformation. In today's world we are in need of Loyola Jesuits.  Pope Francis is the first Jesuit that we have as Pope. He is a Jesuit first and secondly, elected Pope of the Universal Roman Catholic Church.

     In the past week, I received an e-mail from a worthy Protestant Pro-Life group called ProLife@CrusadeForLife.org  You may have received one from Catholic sources.

Contact Governor Edmund G. Brown to Veto SB 320:  Phone: (916)-445-2841

SB 320: would mandate that chemical abortions be provided at all California university and college student health centers. The chemical used, RU 486, has a history of inducing serious medical complications, including death. The procedure uses one chemical to starve the baby to death and another chemical to expel the dead child. Chemical abortion is a do-it-yourself procedure, which makes the woman a novice self-abortionist. SB 320 shifts the cost and liability of surgical abortions from the abortion industry to the taxpaying public. SB 320 perverts our youth and kills their unwanted child for financial gain of the abortion trade.

    First of all, the above bill was passed directly or indirectly by the elected CINOP (Catholic-in-name-only-Democratic-Politicians in California legislature.  If they were Republicans they would have been exposed years ago.  Back to Governor Brown who is a notorious Catholic-in-name-only politician. He had some Jesuit educational background. And in my perspective, he was also the one that destroyed public school teacher's independence by signing the Rodda Act in 1975 for forced unionization.

Call! Governor Brown may veto Veto SB 320.

A Champion of the Spirit of Vatican II: 64-67 - George Neumayr, "The Political Pope"

    "Flattering the liberalism of the Jesuit editors of La Civilta Cattolica, Pope Francis scolded traditionalists for their "pastoral" incompetence, a laughable claim in light of his own order's disintegration. "There is no going back," he said, "Whoever goes back is mistaken." Such confident talk would imply that his own order is moving forward briskly. It isn't. To take just one measure of the Jesuit order's failure, the vast majority of graduates from Jesuit universities in the U.S. in the U.S. Congress vote for gay marriage and abortion rights.

    In the book Passionate Uncertainty the sociologists Peter McDonough and Eugene Bianchi, despite approving of the liberal direction of the Jesuit order, still conclude that its "soft-boiled" spirituality and embrace of radical left-wing politics hastened its crack-up. Limiting their study to American Jesuits, they noted that the number of Jesuits who quit the priesthood and abandoned the order after Vatican II outnumbered the ones who stayed.  Far from energizing the order, the liberal spirit-of-Vatican-II approach, which Bergoglio as pope has sought to renew, wiped it out....

    "Vocations to the priesthood have been falling in Buenos Aires on {Bergoglio's} watch, despite the fact they're up in some other dioceses. Last year the archdiocese ordained just 12 new priests, as opposed to 40-50 per year when Bergoglio took over....

Jesuitical Situation Ethics:

    The popularity of Jesuitical situation ethics diminished under Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, as they battled the "culture of death" and the "dictatorship of relativism." But under the pontificate of Francis, it has been revived, even the magisterium of the Church has repeatedly condemned.... Pope Pius XII condemned situation ethics by name, saying that no "situation" justifies the suspension of moral norms rooted in the moral law....

    He (Pope Francis) has never questioned the damaging liberal fashions within the Jesuit order, reserving his scorn instead for "bankrupt" Thomists and other traditionalists whom he deemed insufficiently progressive for failing to "understand how human beings understand themselves today."...

    "Situation ethics is back," says Thomas Pauken, author of The Thirty Year War, in an interview for this book. "Francis was infected by the virus of 1960s liberalism.".... George H. Kubeck

EXPOSE OF EX-NUNCIO ON POPE FRANCIS WITH McCARRICK'S ABUSE

EXPOSE BY EX-NUNCIO ON POPE FRANCIS' FAILURE WITH McCARRICK'S ABUSE

IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - TUES. AUG. 28, 2018

From the National Catholic Register, Aug. 25, 2018, Edward Pentin

    In a written testimony, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano claims Pope Francis withdrew sanctions against Archbishop Theodore McCarrick.: (excerpts)

    "In and extraordinary 11-page written testament, a former apostolic nuncio to the United States has accused several senior prelates of complicity in covering up Archbishop Theodore McCarrick's allegations of sexual abuse on then-Cardinal McCarrick by Pope Benedict XVI but chose to repeal them.

     Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, 77, who served as apostolic nuncio to Washington DC. from 2011 to 2016, said in the late 2000s, Benedict had "imposed on Cardinal McCarrick sanctions similar to those now imposed on him by Pope Francis" and that Vigano personally told Pope Francis about those sanctions in 2013.

    Archbishop Vigano said in his written statement, simultaneously released to the Register and other media, (See full text below) that Pope Francis "continued to cover" for McCarrick and not only did he "not take into account the sanctions that Pope Benedict has imposed on him" but also made McCarrick "his trusted counselor." Vigano said that the former archbishop of Washington advised the Pope to appoint a number of bishops in the United States, including Cardinals Blase Cupich of Chicago and Joseph Tobin of Newark. ...

    The second half of Vigano's testimony primarily deals with what Pope Francis knew about McCarrick, and how he acted. He recalled meeting Cardinal McCarrick in June 2013 at the Pope's Domus Sanctae Marthae residence, during which McCarrick told him "in tone somewhere between ambiguous and triumphant: "The Pope received me yesterday; tomorrow I am going to China'" - the implication being that Francis had lifted the travel ban placed on him by Benedict. (Further evidence of this can be seen in this interview McCarrick gave the National Catholic Reporter in 2014)

    At a private meeting a few days later, Archbishop Vigano said the Pope asked him "What is Cardinal McCarrick like?" to which the Archbishop replied: "He corrupted generations of seminarians and priests and Pope Benedict ordered him to withdraw to a life of prayer and penance." The former nuncio said he believes the Pope's purpose in asking him was to "find out if I was an ally of McCarrick or not."

Freed from Constraints:

    He said that it was "clear" that "from the time of Pope Francis's election, McCarrick, now free from all constraints, had felt free to travel continuously, to give lectures and interviews." Moreover, he added, McCarrick had "become the kingmaker for appointments in the Curia and the United States, and the most listened to advisor in the Vatican for relations with the Obama administration."

    Vigano claimed that the appointment of Cardinal Cupich and Cardinal Joseph Tobin to Newark "were orchestrated by McCarrick," among others.  He said neither of the names was presented by the nunciature, whose job is traditionally to present a list of names, or terna, to the Congregation of Bishops. He also added that Bishop Robert McElroy's appointment to San Diego was orchestrated "from above" rather through the nuncio. ...

Memos Ignored:

    But, according to Vigano, his memo was ignored and no action was taken until the late 2,000s - a delay which Archbishop Vigano claims is owed to complicity of John Paul II's and Benedict XVI respective Secretaries of State, Cardinals Angelo Sodano and Tarcisio Bertone.

    In 2008, Archbishop Vigano claims he wrote a second memo, this time to Cardinal Sandri's successor as sostituto at the Secretariat of State, then Archbishop (later Cardinal) Fernando Filoni. He included a summary of research carried out by Richard Sipe, a psychotherapist and specialist in clerical sexual abuse, which Sipe had sent Benedict in the form of a statement. Vigano said ended the memo by "repeating to my superiors that I thought it was necessary as soon as possible by refmoving the cardinal's hat from Cardinal McCarrick."

    Again, according to Vigano, his request fell on deaf ears and he writes he was"greatly dismayed" that both memos were ignored until Sipe's "courageous and meritorious" statement had "the desired result." "He {Pope Francis} knew from at least June 23, 2013 that McCrarrick was a serial predator," Archbishop Vigano stated, but although "he knew that he was a corrupt man, he covered for him to the bitter end." "It was only when he was forced by the report of the abuse of a minor, again on the basis of media attention, that he took action (regarding McCarrick} to save his image in the media," wrote Vigano...The people have the right to know the full truth also regarding their shepherds....

A CRISIS OF INFIDELITY

A CRISIS OF INFIDELITY

IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - SUN. AUG. 26, 2018

By Robert P. George who is Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, where he teaches constitutional interpretation and philosophy of law - First Things 8.20.18 - This is a most serious message.

    "At the heart of the recent Catholic scandals is infidelity - literally the lack of faith. There are priests, including bishops and even cardinals, who do not believe in God, or whose belief in God is merely notional (as definitively evidenced by their lack of fear of Him). In any event, they don't believe what the Catholic Church teaches about morality ( and by morality, I mean not only sexual morality, but also our obligations to love and respect, and not to exploit or abuse, others), or at least they are unwilling unable to embrace that teaching and embody it in a constant way in their lives and ministries. So they are unfaithful to, among other things, their vows of chastity and the Church's teachings about sex and marriage and the duty never to exploit or abuse.

What is the answer? Well, fundamentally the answer to infidelity is fidelity. That is what is needed.  As my late friend Fr. Richard John Neuhaus put it, "fidelity, fidelity, fidelity." There is no proper place for unfaithful priests (of any rank) in the Church. If a man does not believe what the Church teaches about God, about the dignity of the human person, about sex and marriage, or about justice, he should not function as a priest or serve as bishop.... he should not be ordained (if he is, or proposes to become, a seminarian) or, he is already ordained, his priestly should be removed. PERIOD. ...

    But even where serious wrongdoing is not illegal, it must not be tolerated. Of course, none of us gets through the day without sinning and needing to repent and be reconciled. (In the Catholic understanding of Christian faith, conversion is an ongoing and lifelong process beginning with baptism.) So what I am talking about here are grave sins, including not only exploitation and abuse but also serious sins against chastity such as fornication, adultery, and sodomy. These are signs for everyone, of course, but when committed by priests they take on the character of sacrilege and are generally even more scandalous than when committed by lay people....and when they involve prepubescent   children there is simply no word strong enough to convey the depth of their wickedness.

   

    So here is what need to happen going forward.  No one should be ordained or retained by his bishop as a priest (and certainly no one should be consecrated as a bishop) who does not believe, and is not prepared publicly in carrying out his priestly ministry to proclaim, the teaching of the Church on all points on which the Church solemnly teaches - including her teachings, in all particulars, on the dignity of the human person, on sex and marriage, and on the requirement of justice.  .... Any priest (of any rank - going all the way up to pope) who is guilty of such misconduct should be stripped of his priestly faculties....

    Priests must believe and preach what the Church holds true about God and man - and must practice what they preach. Am I advocating a zero-tolerance policy towards grave sexual sins, such as fornication, adultery, and sodomy (even when committed by consenting adults)? Yes, I am. ... These sins are toxic to the priestly ministry. Priest who cannot or will avoid them cannot carry out there mission.

    Theodore McCarrick should have been prosecuted for his alleged crimes against boys. But even apart from those crimes, McCarrick should be stripped of his office and dismissed from the active priesthood for his sexual activity with adult men, including seminarians.  The same would be true if his sexual partners had been women rather than men.... And what I say about McCarrick applies to every priest of any rank who disgraces the priesthood by committing grave sexual sins in defiance of his vow of chastity.... literally cannot be tolerated. It is poison in the bloodstream of the Church."

George H. Kubeck

P.S. The shock is to realize  that there are priests & bishops who have lost faith & belief in Jesus Christ. Over the decades, the financial cost  to U.S. Catholic Church members has been slightly less than 3 BILLION DOLLARS.  In another matter, if no action is taken by the U.S. Catholic Bishops on the matter of the CINOP, then we have a continued cover-up & infidelity. Canon Law & St. John Paul II's "Catechism of the Catholic Church" is my guide.

FOCUS: THE CATHOLIC-IN-NAME-ONLY POLITICIAN # 1

IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONEBLOLGSPOT.COM - FRI.,AUG. 24, 2018

Preface:

   At Mass this morning in the Magnificat,  there is a significant article titled, "The Restlessness of Nathaniel" by Pope Francis.  There is a restlessness about this topic. Who am I to judge?        

Wanted:  A Christian writer to write a history of "The Catholic-in-name-only Politician," in America during the last 50 years.It would be a best seller. Why? We never hear of an Evangelical-in-name-only-Politician.                       

     What was the CINOP's  influence on the American Catholic Church, Catholic organizations, and on our  nation. Let's reference specifically Canon law 915 which states in part that those who are "obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion. We focus on the absolute evils promoted not the prudential ones.

    In my view a CINOP should not use the Catholic name when he runs for office. It' s like "Buy the Union Label." It is a fraud to sell a product marked Union when it is made by a non-union work place.

Also, the CINOP does not adhere to St. John Paul 11's "Catechism of the Catholic Church."

    Years ago,  a  CINOP recommended that I refer to Ex- Governor Mario Cuomo of New York. He is the patron saint of the CINOP. I just read Cuomo's talk at Notre Dame, September 13, 1984 titled, "Religious Belief and Public Morality: A Catholic Governor's Perspective." May I quote one sentence. "The seamless garment" that Cardinal Bernadin has spoken of is a challenge to all Catholics in public office, conservatives as well as liberals."

     The truth hurts. I recall, many years ago, Cardinal Mahoney made a very serious mistake in blocking the Knights of Columbus from expelling a CINOP from our membership. It is common sense that today, any future CINOP should not be admitted. I believe that St. John Paul 11 expects U.S. Catholic bishops  make religious decisions not political on Canon 915 which states in part that those who are "obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion."

  

For example, Here are some excerpts from a letter on this blog 11 years ago:                                        "Catholic Democrats Scold Pope on Abortion" - Mon., June 4, 2007.

  

     "It all began May 9th, on the plane flight from Rome to Brazil, Pope Benedict XVI was asked by the reporter what he thought of the warning of excommunication Mexican bishops gave to Catholic politicians who support legalize abortion.

     "The Pope was emphatic: 'Yes, this excommunication was not an arbitrary one but is allowed by Canon law which says that the killing of an innocent child is incompatible with receiving communion, which is receiving the body of Christ.... They (the bishops) simply announced publicly what is contained in the law of the Church.' ...

    "But it wasn't Giuliani who scolded Pope Benedict XVI. America's mayor went out of his way to say, "I don't get into debates with the Pope. That is not a good idea...."

    Some Catholic Democrats see things differently. On May 14, eighteen Catholic Democrats in the House issued a statement condemning the Pope for his comments. Excommunication, their statement reads, would offend the very nature of the American experiment and do a great disservice to the centuries of good work the Church has done. (Left-wing Hogwash)

    The leader of the 'Catholic 18" is Rep. Rosa Delauro (D-Ct) who was joined by well known pro-aborts such as Kennedy (D-RI), and Linda Sanchez (D-Ca)  ... Except for two, Reps. Tim Ryan (D-OH) and James Langevin (D-RI) all have dismal voting records on Catholic issues where Church teaching is absolutely clear

1. Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act - passage (110th). 2. Marriage Amendment Act (110th)

3. Terri Schiavo: Federal court review (109th) 4. Child Intestate Abortion Notification Act (109th)

5. Abortion in military medical facilities (109th)

6. Coercive abortion/United Nations Population Fund (109th)

7.  Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act: passage 109th) 8. Human Cloning Ban: passage (108th)

9. Partial-Birth Abortion Ban: passage (108th) 10. Unborn Victims of Violence (108th)

George H. Kubeck

P.S. Many American Catholic voters believe that the CINOP is pro-life. That is a lie.

    "Archbishop Wilton Gregory, said: " In the nature of the Church, the imposition of sanctions is always the final response, not the first response, nor the second, nor maybe even the 10th."

    Donald Cardinal Wuerl said: "Given the long-standing practice of not making a public judgment about the state of the soul of those who present themselves for Holy Communion, it does not seem that it is sufficiently clear that in the matter of voting for legislation that supports abortion such a judgment necessarily follows."

    IN OTHER WORDS, NONE OF THESE THREE ORDAINED PRIEST OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL PROTECT AND DEFEND THE REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST FROM SACRILEGE! NOR WILL THEY DEFEND AND PROTECT THE REAL PRESENCE OF THE INNOCENT PREBORN BY CALLING PRO-ABORTION CATHOLICS TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR DUBIOUS CLAIM THAT THEY CAN BE BOTH CATHOLIC AND PRO-ABORTION.

   

     All three excuse the worst possible crimes against God while spitting in the face of Christ! So, as you wonder about their current troubles, just think about what they have failed to do for so many years.

    Ask yourself these simple questions: If a Catholic priest refuses to protect Christ from sacrilege, what else might he do? If such men are not working to save souls of their flock - including those who publicly support killing preborn babies - why is anything else they pursue shocking? And if they refuse to deny Communion to abortion advocates, what devils are hiding in their closets? Might they be thinking, "Why should I refuse these people Communion for merely supporting abortion? I've done far worse."

    The root cause of today's Catholic crisis is clear: If an ordained Catholic priest can deny Christ, he can do nearly anything the devil tempts to do.... Please pray for our bishops. We have adapted this prayer to include all bishops: ....

George H. Kubeck

P.S.

   On my blog, during the year of 2007, there were numerous letters relating to the CINOP (Catholic-in-name-only politician). Let me share two excerpts from "June 14, 2007 - A Day of Infamy and Betrayal" Mon. Aug. 13/07

    "It is a historical betrayal by Catholic-in-name-only politicians in Massachusetts. With the bribery of desirable executive positions and campaign contributions, the CINOPS voted down the Marriage Amendment that would have put it on the Massachusetts ballot in 2008. "They failed the test of moral leadership because their vote put sodomy on the same legal level as sacrament of marriage." They betrayed the 170,000 qualified signatures that wanted it to be on next year's ballot.

    CINOP Speaker Nancy Pelosi perceived rightly that having the Marriage Amendment on the ballot in 2008 will hurt the Democratic Presidential Candidate.... We were betrayed by 16 Knights of Columbus legislators who blocked the Marriage Amendment of one man, one woman."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    The CINOP, Catholic-in-name-only politician are allies of the CULTURE OF DEATH in America. They have hearts of stone in six areas: abortion, partial birth abortion (infanticide), assisted suicide, gay marriage, embryonic stem research. These are absolute evils. I don't care if the CINOP promotes every other aspect of the Catholic Social Justice Agenda. This agenda is a prudential one.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 DOWN WITH THE CINOP NOW: As a member of the Knights of Columbus, it is the responsibility of the Supreme Officers of the Knights of Columbus to do what St. John Paul 11 has told them what to do.

   "ONE NEED NOT LOOK FARTHER THAN TODAY'S HEADLINES TO REALIZE THAT MANY IN THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY HAVE RUN AMUCK.

    We all know about the disgusting behavior of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. The fact that his escapades span years is mind-boggling. We may never know how many victims fell prey to this behavior, but God knows. And, sadly, so does the devil, and you can believe that he is reveling in this scandal, for he knows that the best way to destroy the Church is from within.

    DOCUMENTS SUGGEST THAT McCARRICK'S PRACTICES WERE AN "OPEN SECRET" THAT THEY WERE WIDELY KNOWN OR GUESSED AT BY FAR TOO MANY OF HIS PEERS. THIS IS ANOTHER SCANDAL!

    To make matters worse, McCarrick is not the only one creating scandal. We know that Atlanta, Georgia's archbishop, Wilton Gregory, has appointed a pro-homosexual priest, Monsignor Henry Gracz, pastor of the Catholic Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta, to be a spiritual guide to sex abuse victims. That is an oxymoron if we ever heard one.

    We also know that Cardinal Donald Wuerl has had his share of scandals dating all the way back to his days in Pittsburgh. Wuerl says he is not guilty of covering up sexual abuse among the priests during his Pittsburgh days, but I don't buy it.

    Frankly these bishops have run in a pack for a long time. I like to call it the Old-Boys Network. Historically the hierarchy has been riddled with examples of treachery dating all the way back to the 1950s, if not farther. This fact is detailed in John Jay Report commissioned by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, though nothing was ever done about it.

    ADD TO ALL THIS THE CONDITION OF SEMINARIES THAT AUTHOR MICHAEL ROSE DETAILED IN HIS SEMINAL BOOK GOODBYE, GOOD MEN. (I READ THE BOOK, ghk) ROSE WROTE ABOUT RAMPANT HOMOSEXUALITY AND STATED THAT SOME SEMINARIES HAD MONIKERS LIKE THE 'PINK PALACE' AND NOT A FINGER WAS LIFTED TO CLEAN UP THESE PLACES.

    Something is terribly wrong! In my opinion, these horrific wrongs began with disregard for Christ in the Eucharist. All three of the Catholic mentioned here have refused to obey Catholic Church law regarding protection of the sacrament of Holy Eucharist from scandal. The law in question, Canon 915, states in part that those who are "obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion."

    In my opinion, these horrific wrongs began with disregard for Christ in the Eucharist.

     MORE THAN 13 YEARS AGO AMERICAN LIFE LEAGUE CALLED ON EVERY CATHOLIC BISHOP TO OBEY CANON 915 AS IT APPLIES TO CATHOLIC-IN-NAME-ONLY POLITICIANS WHO SUPPORT ABORTING OF PREBORN BABIES. OUR CAMPAIGN SPANNED SEVERAL YEARS, AND WHILE MANY BISHOPS DID BEGIN TO DEFEND CHRIST FROM SACRILEGE, THESE THREE WERE AMONG THE MANY WHO DIDN'T.  AND OH, WHAT EXCUSES THEY GAVE!

    McCarrick said publicly: "As a priest and bishop, I do not favor a confrontation at the altar rail with the sacred body of the Lord Jesus in my hand." He also said that denying Holy Eucharist to a pro-abortion public figure made him "uncomfortable." (TO BE CONTINUED)

       IT IS SAD THAT THERE IS AN ABYSS BETWEEN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND HALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. YOU ARE A LOCAL NEWSPAPER AND NOT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. HOWEVER, MOST OF YOUR NATIONAL NEWS COMES FROM THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, ESPECIALLY,  N. Y. TIMES.                                                                                                                                       

     TRUTH AND COMMON SENSE ARE NOT VERY POPULAR IN TODAY'S AMERICA. I AGREE "FACTS MATTER. THE TRUTH MATTERS" BUT WE LIVE IN THE RELATIVIST MINDSET OF THE N.Y. TIMES. FOR THEM, THE TRUTH IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.  "PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISM IS NOT CHEAP AND IT'S NOT EASY."  THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT TODAY,  HONEST JOURNALISM DOES NOT EXIST IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

    THEY HAVE AN ELITE TYPE MINDSET. THEY DEFINITELY DO NOT HAVE ANY CONNECTION WITH A HUGE EXISTING MINORITY OF PRO-LIFE, PRO-TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE AND PRO- FAMILY COMMUNITY IN AMERICA TODAY.  THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR THE NRA & OTHER MINORITY EXISTING MINDSETS.

    THESE GROUPS ARE BENEATH THE  MAIN STREAM MEDIA JOURNALISTS IN REPORTING AND THE WAY THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE LIVED. THEY DO NOT RESPECT ANY RELIGIOUS FAITH OF THE PEOPLE.  THEY ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE "CULTURE OF DEATH" AS VOICED BY SAINT JOHN PAUL II.

    THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ARE ALWAYS PROMOTING CCATHOLIC-IN-NAME-ONLYPOLITICIANS. WHEN THEY ARE PROMOTING THESE FALSE CATHOLIC AMERICAN LEADERS THEY BECOME PART OF THE DECEPTION. YOU HAVE CATHOLIC VOTERS DUPED TO VOTE FOR THESE MEN (CINOPS.) MAIN STREAM MEDIA NEEDS TO REPORT THE OTHER SIDE, FROM THE "THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH." ADMITTEDLY, U.S. CATHOLIC BISHOPS HAVEN'T GOT THE GUMPTION TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THESE FALSE POLITICIANS. FRUSTRATED, I DO HAVE A BLOG OF MORE THAN 11 YEARS WHICH DEALS WITH THE CINOP. (HTTP://WWW/CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM)

     I KEEP NOTES: LAST YEAR AT 3:30-3:40 AM. WED. AUG. 2, 2017. HERE IS WHAT I WROTE,  "OVER ALL, AMONG THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, HONEST JOURNALISM IS DEAD. THERE ARE SEVERAL EXCEPTIONS. IS THIS TYPE OF JOURNALISM PROTECTED BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT? WE KNOW THAT THE COMMUNISTS PROMOTE THE VIOLENT OVERTHROW OF THE U.S.A. THIS IS ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL. WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE COMMUNISTS ARE MASTERS OF DECEIT AND DECEPTION.

  THE ISSUE IS: THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS CORRUPT AND TWO-FACED. WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE KIND OF REPORTING THEY HAVE DONE DURING THE IRAQ WAR IS  POLITICAL AND UNPATRIOTIC.. HAD THEY DONE THIS KIND OF REPORTING DURING WORLD WAR II, WE WOULD HAVE LOST THE WAR AGAINST NAZI GERMANY?"                                                                                                                       

     TODAY, THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS A MOUTH PIECE OF THE LEFTIST CONTROLLED DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THEY ARE "THE PRAVDA" OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THAT IS NOT FAIR.... THIS DIVISION IN OUR COUNTRY IS SIMILAR TO THE TIME OF THE LINCOLN PRESIDENCY.

    IN CLOSING, MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEWS MEDIA HAS NOT BEEN POSITIVE. I HAVE POSTED TWO RECENT LETTERS ON THIS MATTER, "THE INTEGRITY OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER." "CELEBRATING THE U.S. SUPREME COURT'S JANUS DECISION." # 1 AND 2.            

    THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE SIDE FOR THE INDEPENDENT-MINDED TEACHER NEVER GOT A HEARING FROM THE NEWS MEDIA DURING THE 1970s. LOCAL NEWS MEDIA SHOULD CHECK OUT THE HOGWASH THAT IS GOING ON NOW IN OUR LOCAL UNIVERSITIES WHERE YOU ARE SMEARED AND THREATENED IN EXPRESSING YOUR POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS VIEWS. ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL AND DISGUSTING! CHECK IT OUT!

A. FAR LEFT GROUP'S OPEN INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE GETS ZERO PRESS COVERAGE:

Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars.com - Aug. 13, 2018

"THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA COMPLETELY FAILED TO REPORT ON ANTIFA MEMBERS IN DC YESTERDAY, SOME OF WHOM WENT ON TO ASSAULT POLICE OFFICERS, CARRYING A BANNER WHICH OPENLY ADVERTISED THEIR INTENTION TO PUT BULLETS IN THEIR POLITICAL ENEMIES.

NUMEROUS VIDEO CLIPS AND PHOTOS SHOW ANTIFA MEMBERS CARRYING A LARGE BLACK BANNER WHICH READS, "IT TAKES A BULLET TO BASH A FASH."  

LET ME REMIND YOU THAT ANTIFA BELIEVES EVERYONE RIGHT OF STALIN TO BE A FASCIST. THIS IS OPEN INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE. THE LEFT NEEDS TO DISAVOW. 

GIVEN THAT ANTIFA BELIEVES ANYONE RIGHT OF JOSEPH STALIN TO BE A "FASCIST" (THEY LITERALLY CARRY COMMUNIST HAMMER AND SICKLE FLAGS), THIS IS OPEN INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE AGAINST ALL CONSERVATIVES.

FAR-LEFT AGITATORS ALSO MOBBED A COP ON A MOTORCYCLE, THROWING THINGS AT HIM AND SHOVING HIM.

IN ANOTHER CLIP, LEFTIST ARE ASKED WHAT THEY WOULD DO IF THEY MET PRESIDENT TRUMP. "I WOULD MURDER HIM," ANSWERED ONE, WHILE ANOTHER SAID, "WE'D HAVE TO DO HIM LIKE GADDAFI." GIVEN THESE THREATS, IS IT ANY WONDER THAT BOTH THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND THE FBI NOW TREAT "ANTIFA" AS A DOMESTIC TERROR GROUP.

(I VIEWED THIS SIGN OF HATRED FOR AMERICA: "NO BORDER - NO WALL - NO U S A AT ALL."

MORAL ECONOMY

FAITH AND FREE MARKET IN AN AGE OF INEQUALITY

A PRESENTATION BY CARDINAL JOSEPH TOBIN

SEPTEMBER 5, 2018 | 6 P.M.

McNALLY AMPHITHEATER | FORDHAM UNIVERSITY

140 W. 62ND ST. | NEW YORK, N.Y. 10023

"This economy kills," Pope Francis has been unsparing in his

criticism of the ravages of modern-day capitalism and in this symposium

Cardinal Joseph Tobin of the Newark archdiocese will deliver a major lecture

on how Catholic teaching can light the way to a more just future."

 

1. Pope Francis made a serious mistake in interfering in American politics. He could have had an Argentine cardinal give that talk in Argentina. There is no reason why any U.S. Catholic bishop should be involved in promoting Leftism in our country, directly and indirectly confusing Catholic voters.

2. What we have in America is a Free-Enterprise System. Founded by our great Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and its working. Residents and immigrants like myself, are overall doing very well.

 

3. Most senior Americans remember Blessed Fulton Sheen on his talks "Life is Worth Living," on television educating us on Leftism like communism and socialism.  Pope Francis  seem to be unaware on what previous Popes have written about Leftism like communism and socialism.

4. I think Pope Francis's mindset on economics is not based on St. Dominic, St. Thomas Aquinas or even St. Ignatius of Loyola. I graduated from a Jesuit college in 1952.

 

5. Why has Pope Francis been silent on the horrendous tragedy that is occurring in Venezuela where we have socialism in reality? Most other observers would use stronger language. His  involvement with Liberation Theology is a tragedy. I can understand why in Latin America today we are losing tens of thousand of Catholic families to other Christian denominations yearly.

 

6. The Vatican should stay away from our elections. What occurred in the U.S. Presidential elections of 2016 was miracle from God. It was a miracle for the pro-life, pro-marriage, and pro-family movement.  Prayerfully,  all U.S. Christians will vote on Nov. 6 this year to thank God for that miracle.

A. There is tremendous good news from the immigrant from India, Dinesh D'Souza. I saw his movie, "Death of a Nation" on Monday and plan to see it again. It is very educational from an immigrant's perspective. There is lot of common sense and truth in the movie. See;  deathofanationmovie.com

 

"Not since 1860 have the Democrats so fanatically refused to accept the result of a free election. That year their target was Lincoln. They smeared him. They went to war to defeat him. In the end they assassinated him.

Now the target of the Democrats is President Trump and his supporters. The Left calls them racists, white supremacists, and fascists. These charges are used to justify  driving Trump from office and discrediting the right "by any means necessary."

Padre Pio - The True Story by C. Bernard Ruffin

Chapter  5, "A Holy Priest, A Perfect Victim" p. 77-78

 

    "God seemed to be playing a game of hide-and-seek. This oscillation between extreme exaltation and violent depression is a common experience among mystics. Both St. Catherine of Sienna and St. Teresa of Avila spoke of a "game of love," in which God seems, by turns, to hide and then return to the soul. At time Pio was "almost to paradise"; at other times, he felt as if Satan were about to snatch him out of the Lord's hands. Benedetto assured him that this was a normal part of spiritual growth. As Pio grew in faith, gradually be found himself able to rise above the temptations of the devil and worry less about the possibility of being successfully tempted....

 

    On the afternoon of Sept. 7, 1910, Padre Pio appeared at Pannullo's office and showed him what appeared to be puncture wounds in the middle of his hands. Pati asked him what had happened. Pio told him he had bee praying in the Piana Romana when Jesus and Mary appeared to him and gave him the wounds.... These wounds, which Pio tried to conceal, were a source of of great embarrassment... you must do say to Jesus, "Do with me as Thou wilt." ...Padre Pio wrote:

    "Yesterday something happened, something I cannot explain or understand. In the middle of the palms of my hands there appeared a small coin, accompanied by a strong sharp pain in the middle of the red spots. The pain was most intense in the middle of the left hand, so much so that I still feel it. Also I feel some pain in the soul of my feet. This phenomena has bee going on for almost a year, yet recently there has been a brief period of time in which it has not occurred...."

Chapter 6 - Between and Hell p. 81-84

    "Immediately after he received Padre Pio's letter describing the stigma, Padre Benedetto wrote to the minister general of the Capuchin Order, Padre Pacifico of Seggiano, telling him about the young friar's holiness and asking about the advisability of sending him once again to live in a religious community. After describing Padre Pio as "a young priest of angelic character." the provincial mention Pio's offering of himself as a victim of divine love and his mysterious illness, linking the two phenomena together: "He had also asked to participate in the pains of the Savior, and has been granted this in an ineffable way.

    Migraine headaches, resistant to any remedy, and an illness inexplicable to any doctor, however renowned in the healing art, have come to torment him along with great spiritual suffering. It was suspected that he had been stricken with tuberculosis, and doctors ordered him to breathe the air of his own town, especially when uncontrollable vomiting prevented him from holding even a spoonful of broth for days and days."

      After telling Padre Pacifico about the stigmata, which he judged to be "the seal of a special calling," Padre Benedetto asked for advice. Several times in recent years, he says, Padre Pio had been sent to various friaries, only to suffer relapses and have to return home. "Well aware that until now this has been the will of God," Benedetto writes, "I want to summon him at this time to return to the cloister in any way possible. I am concerned, however {if anything should go amiss}, that the fault would be mine." Then Benedetto asks, "What do you say about this?" ....

    While awaiting his appointment with Sister Death, Padre Pio was to study sacred eloquence, the course of study that normally followed ordination.... The friary of San Nicandro was built in 1573 adjacent to the tomb and basilica of the Roman martyr by that name.  The community consisted of thirteen men, nine priests, and four brothers. The father guardian, or local superior, was thirty-three-old Evangelista of San Marco in Lamis. Padre Agostino was vicar as well as professor of sacred eloquence.

      Pio arrived on October 28, and for the first few day things proceeded smoothly. In addition to contemplation and community worship, each member of the "family" normally had a job to perform. Padre Pio, besides his studies, was to instruct the children of the town in Christian doctrine and teach them hymns.... Padre Evangelista decided to take Pio once again to Naples for medical consultation. As usual, the doctors could not diagnose the illness, and the two friars left the clinic knowing no more than before....

    To this point, Padre Pio had been regarded simply as an ideal religious who had the misfortune to be suffering from an undiagnosable illness. The stigmata had disappeared again... Toward the of November 1911, however, the supernatural side of Padre Pio's life burst into the open. Geo. H. Kubeck

George Neumayer, "The Political Pope"

Chapter Four - The Liberal Jesuit from Latin America 58-64

 

    "The Society has been moving Left ever since Arrupe," says a Jesuit interviewed for this book. "Arrupe liked to promote young liberals to be provincials. The more traditional Jesuits were pushed aside and the progressives were promoted.

    In 1975, Arrupe summoned Jesuits worldwide to a meeting in Rome. The purpose of the event was to consolidate the Jesuit's order liberal direction after Vatican II, "At the 1975 General Congregation, a worldwide gathering of Jesuits, Fr. Arrupe managed to refashion the Society's identity so that it was dominated by social justice concerns," according to the Catholic Herald. ...

 

    Bergoglio has made a point of emphasizing that he was "never" a conservative and that he didn't care for traditional Jesuits who viewed St. Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises in a way "that emphasizes, silence, and penance. ... The order embraced an unprecedented understanding of itself. "We can no longer pretend that the inequalities and injustices of our world must be borne as part of the inevitable order of things." ... Critics regarded the turn as a betrayal of transcendent values in favor of an overemphasis on the secular world.  ... According to Argentine criminal prosecutor Jack Tollers, a long time observer of Beregoglio as an opportunist willing to work both side of the political street when  ecclesiastical advancement required it....

 

    The circumspect quality of Bergoglio's liberalism at the time, motivated by his need to navigate the pressures and opportunities of Church politics, explains his supportive but cautious approach to liberation theology. "As head of the Jesuits in Argentina and then as a bishop, Francis never joined in the attack on liberation theology - but was never a forceful defender of it either," Harvard Divinity School professor Harvey Cox has written, "As a bishop, he claimed that he favored it, but not in an ideological way. When  debates about the movement split both the Church and the Jesuits, Francis tried to patch up the division. He has subsequently that he often did it with a heavy hand, which he now regrets." In 2016, with the blessing of Pope Francis, the Jesuits made their general superior a Venezuelan, Fr. Arturo Sosa, whose communist sympathies have long been known. He has written about the "Marxist mediation of the Christian Faith," arguing that the Church should "understand the existence of Christians who simultaneously call themselves Marxists and commit themselves to the transformation of the capitalist society into a socialist society."

 

A Champlain of the Spirit of Vatican II

    Bergoglio is not only the first Jesuit pope in the history of the Church but also the first pope to have been ordained after Vatican II... During an interview in which he randomly declared that Buddhists go to heaven, he lampooned the pre-Vatican II Church for its dim view of ecumenism.

    "I remember my first experience of ecumenism: I was four or five years old and and I was walking along with my grandmother.... On the other pavement there were two women from the Salvation Army... 'Are those nuns, granny?" To which she replied: 'No, they are Protestants, but they are good!" That was the first time I heard someone speaking well of people who belonged to different religious religions....The Church's respect for other religions has grown a great deal..."

     As pope, Bergoglio's reliance on such caricatures of the pre-Vatican II Church has been constant. He shares none of the sympathy that his two immediate predecessors felt for the pre-Vatican II Church...

In a characteristic comment, he criticized the pre-Vatican II Church for taking too hard a line on suicide, whereas "I still respect the one who commits suicide; he is a person who could not overcome the contradictions in his life."... 

    In an interview with the Vatican-approved Jesuit publication La Civila Catholica, Pope Francis made a plea for politically correct Catholicism inspired by the spirit of Vatican II. ...

Padre Pio, The True Story by C. Bernard Ruffin

Chapter 5 - 'A holy priest, A perfect Victim - 71

    Pio's parents, however, were not satisfied with the diagnosis. They took him to a young doctor in Pietrelcina, Andrea Cardone. Cardone, who boasted of a doctorate in medicine (as many practitioners in southern Italy at the time could not). was a brilliant physician who even in his nineties kept abreast of the latest medical advances. Cardone took issue with the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Just to be sure

he convinced Gra and Beppa to send their son to specialists in Naples, who confirmed that Pio was not suffering from any form of tuberculosis....

    Cardone was convinced that Fra Pio's illness was a simple case of chronic bronchitis aggravated by his ascetic lifestyle. He recommended a period of rest and "abundant nourishment." in Pietrelcina. After a short time, Fra Pio seemed cured and able to return to Montefusco. His mysterious illness, however, was to plague Pio, off and on, for the next decade, and it nearly derailed his vocation as a religious. ...

    He complains in March 1910 of continuous fever especially at night, a cough, pains in his chest and back, and of sweating a lot. In April he was confined to bed. In May he suffered from chest pains. In April he was confined to bed. In May he suffered from chest pains. In July these pains were so bad as to render him speechless at times. "Almighty God in His mercy desires to free me from the sufferings of this my body, as I hope He does, through shortening my exile here on earth," he wrote Benedetto, "I shall die very happy ...." In another letter he confides: "The notion of being healed, after the all the tempts that the Most High has sent me, seems to me but as a dream, even madness. On the contrary, the idea of death is very attractive to me....

Yet, through it all, Fra Pio is resigned to the will of God.  "I do not know the reason for this, but in silence I adore and kiss the hand of Him who smites me, knowing truly that it is He Himself who, on the other hand, afflicts me, and, on the other hand consoles me."

The longed-for day was August 10, 1910 ... twenty-three-year-old Fra Pio boarded a horse-drawn cab and bounced over to the cathedral of the cathedral of Benevento, where he was ordained a priest by eighty-three-old Archbishop Paolo Schnosi. After a light lunch, which presumably Padre Pio was able to hold down, the little party returned to Pietrolcina, arriving 5 P.M. They met at the edge of the city by the city band, which had been hired by Giuseppa Cardone, Michele's wife.  The band accompanied Padre Pio to his home while, along the way, cheering townspeople showered him with coins and candy. There, at the house, Mammella put on a great feast. Through it all, Padre Pio sat with his head, blushing with emotion. "That beautiful day of my ordination" he would always recall as a day on which he felt as if he were in heaven....

There, in his retreat in the Piana Romano, Padre Pio reported to Padre Benedetto frequent assaults by the devil. These assaults seem, at this period to have been intellectual, taking three forms: temptations against purity, fear on unconfessed sin, and a conviction of being hopelessly wicked. During the Easter season of 1911 he writes, "Even to these holy days the enemy tries with all its might to induce me to acquieces to his wicked designs, and in particular, this malignant spirit tries with every sort of fantasy to tempt me into thought of uncleanness and despair." Far from being titillated, Padre Pio was horrified, confessing, " I tremble from head to toe with the fear of offending God."
