Catholic Church Rejects Surrender Terms from Obama
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Thursday, February 2, 2012

“My Catholic priest, Father Larry Swink, delivered a homily on Sunday that I told him would make headlines. In the toughest sermon I have ever heard from a pulpit, he attacked the Obama Admini9stration as evil, even demonic, and warned of religious persecution ahead. What was also noteworthy about the sermon was that he cited the Washington Post in agreement - not on the subject of the Obama Administration being evil, but on the matter of its abridgment of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.

“What is happening is extraordinary and unprecedented. The Catholic Church is in open revolt against the Obama Administration, with Fr. Swink noting from the pulpit that priests across the archdiocese were joining the call on Sunday to rally Catholics to resistance against the U.S. Government. He said we are entering a time of religious persecution and that Catholics and others will have to make a final decision which side they are on…

“The administration claims there is a religious exemption in the mandate, but the bishops say it is so narrow that it fails to cover the vast majority of faith-based organizations, including Catholic hospitals, universities and service organizations that help millions every year. “Ironically,” they say, “not even Jesus and his disciples would have qualified.”

“The bishops go on, “Now that the Administration has refused to recognize Constitutional conscience rights of organizations and individuals who oppose the mandate, the bishops are not urging Catholics and others of good will to fight this unprecedented attack on conscience and religious liberty.” Interestingly, the Washington Post, as Father Swink indicated, agrees with the bishops. The paper said, “In this circumstance, requiring a religiously affiliated employer to spend its own money in a way that violates its religious principles does not make an adequate accommodation for those deeply held views. Having recognized the principle of religious exemption, the administration should have expanded it.

“So why would the administration pick a major fight with the Catholic Church? There are two main reasons. (1) The administration wants to please its progressives and feminist, secular pro-abortion base. (2) The administration believes Catholics are divided on the issue and will ignore their leaders…

“Support for the latter explanation comes in the form of the Obama Administration’s efforts to co-opt the Catholic Church, primarily through appointing nominal Catholics to high-level positions in government and keeping funding going to the church for “social justice” causes. Another player in this effort is the hedge-fund billionaire George Soros, an atheist who nevertheless has found groups that are “Catholic in name only” to accept his financial largesse. These groups, including Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, are designed to give the impression that Catholics are less concerned about issues like stopping abortion and protecting the sanctity of traditional marriage than passing government health care. The Obama/Soros gamble may back fire.”

The Road to Serfdom

The Road to Serfdom
The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Thursday, February 2, 2012

“Few discoveries are more irritating than those which expose the pedigree of ideas” Lord Action

Friedrich August von Hayek was much more than a Nobel Prize-winning economist. He was also a philosopher and a prophet. Thanks to the Heritage Foundation, I have read an abridged version of Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom.” Here are poignant excerpts from his book.

“I have spent about half my adult life in my native Austria, in close touch with German thought, and the other half in the U.S. and England. In the latter period, I have become increasingly convinced that some of the forces which destroyed freedom in Germany are also at work here…

“There were many features which were then regarded as “typically German” which are now equally familiar in America and England, and many symptoms that point to a further development in the same direction: the increasing veneration of the state, the fatalistic acceptance of “inevitable trends,” the enthusiasm for “organization” of everything (we now call it “planning”)…

“The supreme tragedy is still not seen that in Germany it was largely people of good will who, by their socialist policies, prepared the way for the forces which stand for everything they detest. Few recognize that the rise of fascism and Nazism was not a reaction against the socialist trends of the preceding period but a necessary outcome of those tendencies...

“Most of the people whose views influence developments are in some measure socialists. They believe that our economic life should be “consciously planning” for the competitive system… In order to achieve their ends, the planners must create power – power over men wielded by other men – of a magnitude never before known. Their success will depend on the extent in which they achieve such power. Democracy is an obstacle to this suppression of freedom which the centralized direction of economic activity requires…

“Our generation has forgotten that the system of private property is the most important guarantee of freedom… But when economic power is centralized as an instrument of political power it creates a degree of dependence scarcely distinguishable from slavery…

“The Road to Serfdom: “There can be no doubt that the most of those in the democracies who demand a central direction of all economic activity still believe that socialism and individual freedom can be combined. Yet socialism was early recognized by many thinkers as the gravest threat to freedom…

"Nobody saw more clearly than the great political thinker de Tocqueville that democracy stands in an irreconcilable conflict with socialism: “Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom,” he said. “Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom,” he said. “Democracy attaches all possible value to each man,” he said in 1848, “while socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude”…

Bishop of Marquette's Classic Letter vs. HHS Mandate

Bishop of Marquette’s Classic Letter vs. HHS Mandate
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Wednesday, February 1, 2012

The following is the full letter* read in the churches on Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I write to you concerning an alarming and serious matter that negatively impacts the Church in the United States directly, and that strikes at the fundamental right to religious liberty for all citizens of any faith. The federal government, which claims to be “of, by, and for the people,” has just been dealt a heavy blow to almost a quarter of those people – the Catholic population --- and to the one million more who are served by the Catholic faithful.

The U.S. Department of Health and Services announced last week that almost all employers, including Catholic employers, will be forced to offer their employees’ health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs, and contraception. Almost all health insurers will be forced to include those “services” in the health policies they write. Almost all individuals will be forced to buy that coverage as a part of their policies.

In so ruling, the Obama Administration has cast aside the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, denying to Catholics our Nation’s first and most fundamental freedom, that of religious liberty. And as a result, unless the rule is overturned, we Catholics will be compelled to either violate our consciences, or to drop health coverage for our employees (and suffer the penalties for doing so). The Obama Administration’s sole concession was to give our institutions 1 year to comply.

We cannot – we will not – comply with this unjust law. People of faith cannot be made second class citizens. We are already joined by our brothers and sisters of all faith and many others of good will in this important effort to regain our religious freedom. Our parents and grandparents did not come to these shores to help build America’s cities and town, its infrastructure and institutions, its enterprise and culture, only to have their posterity stripped of their God given rights. In generations past, the Church has always been able to count on the faithful to stand up and protect her sacred rights and duties. I hope and trust she can count on this generation of Catholics to do the same. Our children and grandchildren deserve nothing less.

And therefore, I would ask of you two things. First, as a community of faith we must commit ourselves to prayer and fasting that wisdom and justice may prevail, and religious liberty may be restored. Without God, we can do nothing: with God, nothing is impossible. Second, I would also recommend visiting www.usccb.org//conscience , to learn more about this severe assault on religious liberty, and how to contact Congress in support of legislation that would reverse the Obama Administration’s decision.

Sincerely yours in Christ, Alexander K. Sample, Most Reverend Alexander K. Sample, Bishop of Marquette. *Political Hotsheet – CBS News.com - 1/31/12 - Catholics hear anti-Obama letter in church

St. Thomas Aquinas (1224/5-1274)

St. Thomas Aquinas (1224/5-1274)
Memorial – Saturday, January 28, 2012

St. Thomas Aquinas was a 13th century Dominican Friar, philosopher and theologian. Named a Doctor of the Church and given the title “Angelic Doctor,” he is the patron of Catholic universities, colleges and schools. Renowned for his proofs for the existence of God, Aquinas believed that both faith and reason discover truth; a conflict between them is impossible since they both originate in God. He was instrumental, therefore, in the assimilation of the works of Aristotle into the intellectual life of Western Christendom.

Saint Thomas was born in 1224 or 1225 to noble parents, being the youngest son of Landulf (descendant of the counts of Aquino) and Theodora, a noble woman of Naples. At the age of five, he was placed in the Monastery of Monte Cassino to be educated for a career in the Church.

At about the age of nineteen, he joined the Dominican Order, the Order of Friars Preachers. At about the age of twenty, he was placed under the instruction of St. Albert the Great, first in Paris and later in Cologne. Because of his large stature and quiet nature, Thomas’ fellows called him a dumb ox, but St. Albert declared that Thomas’ bellows would resound throughout the world. In Cologne, probably at the age of twenty-five, Thomas was ordained to the priesthood.

Quotes and Prayers by St. Thomas Aquinas…

“Beware of the man of one book.” “It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.”

“The study of philosophy is not that we may know what men have thought, but what the truth of things is.”

“The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.”“To one who has faith no explanations is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.”

“We do not pray to change divine decree, but only to obtain what God has decided will obtained by prayer.”
“Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; Give us an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; Give us an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside.”

“Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen”

“Obedience unites us so closely to God that it in a way transforms us into Him, so that we have no other will but His. If obedience is lacking, even prayer cannot be pleasing to God.”

“The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love. It signifies Love. It produces love. The Eucharist is the consummation of the whole spiritual life.” – http://www.aquinasonline.com/thombiog.html

Freedom of Religion and Prayer

Freedom of Religion and Prayer
In support of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Friday, January 27, 2012

Preface: As we proceed in reversing this HHS mandate forced on Catholic and other Christian institutions by the Obama regime; let’s start with a historical perspective. The following are some thoughts from one of the books by one of the several Talk Shows hosts.

“The Founding Fathers guaranteed us “freedom of religion” not “freedom from religion.” America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Go back to the drafting of the Constitution. It was the summer of 1787, and the representatives who broke free from the tyranny of the British Empire were gathered in Philadelphia to hammer out this great document. After weeks of almost no progress, many were ready to walk away from the convention.

“Benjamin Franklin, who was eighty-one years old, stood and challenged the leaders as follows,:

“I have lived, sir, a long time and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice [which, I should point out, is a direct reference to the words of Jesus in Matthew 10] is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, sit, in the Sacred Writings that “except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it.” I firmly believe this … I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of heaven, and its blessing on our deliberations, be held in this assembly every morning.”

“If you still have any doubt about America’s Judeo-Christian heritage, listen to our third president, Thomas Jefferson. He said, “God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their own firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God? … Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.” But the radical liberal socialists, who are intolerant of competing views, are counting on Americans to remain dumb sheep.

“Read what President Abraham Lincoln said in his Proclamation for a National Day of Fasting, Humiliation, and Prayer on April 30, 1863:

“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplies and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that has made us! It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.”

Cardinal Designate Timothy Dolan's Article on the HHS Mandate

2012-01-26T13:52:00.001-08:00

Cardinal Designate Timothy Dolan’s Article on the HHS Mandate*

“THE RELENTLESS PROCLAIMATION OF THE TRUTH ON THIS HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES MANDATE”

*“The Wall Street Journal”, Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012: “ObamaCare and Religious Freedom”

Religious freedom is the life blood of the American people, the cornerstone of American government. When the Founding Fathers determined that the innate rights of men and women should be enshrined in our Constitution, they so esteemed religious liberty that they made it the first freedom in the Bill of Rights.

In particular, the Founding Fathers fiercely defended the right of conscience. George Washington himself declared: “The conscientious scruples of all men should be treated with great delicacy and tenderness; and it is my wish and desire, that the laws may always be extensively accommodated to them.” James Madison, a key defender of religious freedom and author of the First Amendment, said: “Conscience is the most sacred of all property.”

Scarcely two weeks ago, in its Hosanna-Tabor decision upholding the right of churches to make ministerial hiring decision, the Supreme Court unanimously and enthusiastically reaffirmed these longstanding and foundational principles of religious freedom. The court made clear that they include the right of religious institutions to control their internal affairs. Yet the Obama administration has veered in the opposite direction. It has refused to exempt religious institutions that serve the common good- including Catholic schools, charities and hospitals – from its sweeping new health-care mandate that requires employers to purchase contraception, including abortion-producing drugs, & sterilization coverage for their employees…

Since then, hundreds of religious institutions, and hundreds of thousands of individual citizens, have raised their voices in principled opposition to this requirement that religious institutions and individuals violate their own basic moral teaching in their health plans. Certainly many of these good people and groups were Catholic, but many were Americans of other faiths, or no faith at all, who recognize that their beliefs could be on the block. They also recognize that the cleverest way for the government to erode the broader principle of religious freedom is to target unpopular beliefs first.

Now we have learned that those loud and strong appeals were ignored. On Friday, the administration reaffirmed the mandate, and offered only a one-year delay in enforcement in some in some cases – as we might suddenly be more willing to violate our conscience 12 months from now… The rule forces insurance companies to provide these services without a co-pay, suggesting they are “free” – but it is naïve to believe that. There is no free lunch, and you can be sure there’s no free abortion, sterilization or contraception. There will be a source of funding: you. Coercing religious ministries and citizens to pay directly for actions that violate their teaching is an unprecedented incursion into freedom of conscience.

The Catholic Church defends religious liberty, including freedom of conscience for everyone. The Amish do not carry health insurance. The government respects their principles. Christian Scientists want to heal by prayer alone, and the new health-care reform law respects that. Quakers and other object to killing even in wartime and the government respects that principle for conscientious objectors.

BY ITS DECISION, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRTATION HAS FAILED TO SHOW THE SAME RESPECT FOR THE CONSCIENCES OF CATHOLICS AND OTHERS WHO OBJECT TO TREATING PREGANCY AS A DISEASE…

DUPLICATE & SHARE: “The Washington Post” is opposed to this HHS mandate. All newspapers must do likewise.

The Direct Attack on Catholics!

The Direct Attack on Catholics!
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012

“Original message from Brian Burch, President CatholicVote.org”

Pres. Obama informed Archbp Dolan today (Jan. 22, 2012) that the proposed mandate requiring all insurance plans to pay for contraception, sterilization and some abortion drugs is official – and Catholics cannot escape. Please read below and remarks from Pope Benedict to our bishops.

Dear Friends,

Get ready to pay. This morning President Obama called New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan to break the news. Secretary of Health and Human Services and pro-abortion Catholic Kathleen Sebelius just announced that the proposed mandate requiring all insurance plans to pay for contraception, sterilization and some abortion drugs is official – and Catholics cannot escape…

Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan responded minutes ago saying: “In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences.” Beginning August 1, 2012 (less than eight months today), the insurance premiums we pay, including insurance premiums paid by Catholics for employees of churches and schools – will be used to cover drugs and procedures that are in direct conflict with the teachings of our Church.

That’s right. Our government will now force us to pay for insurance coverage for birth control, sterilization and even some abortion drugs.
President Obama ignored the organized efforts of Catholics across the country, including bold statements from the Bishops, university presidents (including Notre Dame’s Rev. Jenkins), and even his Catholic allies like Sr. Carol Keehan.

Instead, President Obama stood with his real friends – Planned Parenthood. Make no mistake; this decision is a direct attack on you, our Church, and the religious liberty of all Americans. Just yesterday, Pope Benedict XVI addressed the bishops from the United States who were completing their “Ad Limina” visit in Rome. The Holy Father specifically cited the “grave threats” to the freedom of the Church in America, and urged the Catholic community to respond, especially with “an engaged articulate and well-formed Catholic laity.”

He’s talking to you and me. The Holy Father’s brief address is a must read (link below). Finally, today marks exactly one year from Inauguration Day. In exactly 12 months, America will welcome a new president, or usher in four more years of Barack Obama and his assault on our liberties… We built Catholic Vote into a movement to advance the cause of life, family, and freedom. Today’s decision is an assault on all three. And it MUST be defeated. …

George H. Kubeck, The contempt of the secularists on Christians is like living under a fascist/communist regime. We have a constitutional crisis in the violation of our 1st Amendment religious rights.

Washington, D.C. -The March for Life- 2012 – Part 1
Proclaim the truth world-wide about abortion - Monday, January 23, 2012

EWTN Television: 8 A.M. Host Doug Heck and Father Joseph- The weather is rainy and cold.

Interviews prior to the March: Jim and John Pinto from Birmingham, Alabama.
“There are marches happening over the weekend throughout the country and the world. The Pontiff, “Born in this time to be witnesses to the gospel and it’s affecting others.” The pro-life movement is bigger, younger and more strategic than ever. We are a movement and we are growing. I can get out there and march. God is for the people. We do this family by family and block and block. Hopefully over 200,000 participants: In Birmingham, we had 7 abortion mills. Today it is only 2. Social communication is a highway to promote pro-life throughout the world. God is using EWTN TV.

From Heartbeat International: Peggy- Director: “Pregnancy centers are good for America. Women do choose life and we meet with Representative in Congress and share the list of services we have and we share with them.” One lady’s comment, “Get may life back in track. This what Heartbeat International did for me?” There are 4,000 Pregnancy Centers around the country. Heartbeat International is a resource center to these centers.

From Human Life International: President Father Shene Boquet “What happens here is a message to the rest of the world. Stand together to change the mandate of HHS: (Health and Human Services) the Cardinal is calling us to arms.

Dr. John at Divine Mercy Care on the HHS Mandate enunciated on Friday, January 20, 2012: “There bureaucrats telling us that we as Catholics need to compromise our conscience and faith. Our conscience is private. We should not be allowed to bring it into the public field. It is a direct frontal assault on our Catholic faith.
“All Catholics need to live our faith. How many in the pews opt out of their beliefs? It is an opportunity for us to share and catechize. It is a direct assault on Catholic Health Care. Abortion is not good medicine; and to provide it for free and that is good health.

“They tell us that medicine is about choice. We must honor the dignity of the human person. Hate the disease but love the patient. Medicine is an act of mercy transforming hearts. This is the theme throughout the day.”

George H. Kubeck

P.S. CatholicVote.org: by Thomas Peters “Obama Administration Decides to Require Religious Institutions to cover Free Contraception and Sterilization? Liberals are crowing about what they see as a huge victory for them … victory at the expense of religious liberty… Obama 2012 reelection plan: ignore and marginalize people of faith…” Please access Cardinal DiNardo’s Pro-Life Homily at Sunday’s Mass Jan. 21st – at the Immaculate Conception Church and also designated Cardinal Timothy Dolan remarks on the HHS Mandate.

Personal History:

In 2010, I was blessed and became a life-professed member of the Dominican Laity. I was born in Montreal, Canada on December 18, 1930. I graduated from Loyola College (Montreal) in 1952 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. From July to Oct. 1954, I travelled throughout Europe via a backpack, trains and youth hostels.

As a legal immigrant, I joined the U.S. Army in 1958 and honorably discharged in 1962, and obtained U.S. citizenship in less than five years. I was an elementary school teacher from 1963 to 1986 with the Westminster School District, Orange County, California.

In 1967-68, I wrote a series of 14 letters titled “Why Nixon in 1968?” In 1969, I received a M.A. in U.S. History from Pepperdine College in Los Angeles. Thanks to Intercollegiate College Studies Institute for their indirect financial assistance during the summer months. The thesis was “Alexander Hamilton’s Criticism of John Adams’ Foreign Policy.”

I am a member of the Knights of Columbus Cypress Councils 8599 and Mission San Juan Capistrano Assembly 0062. For more than 15 years I have written the monthly pro-life message for the Knights of Columbus bulletins. Also at about the same time I still participate in rosary prayer vigils on Wednesdays and Fridays for about an hour in the morning at abortion mills. The present one is at 2777 Long Beach Blvd., Long Beach Ca. & across the street from L.B. Memorial Hospital.

My parish is St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church in L.A. County. (Hawaiian Gardens)

I am a conservative member of the “Anaheim Republican Assembly” and participant in the 405/605 Patriotic Tea Party that meets monthly at Leisure World, Seal Beach, California. I believe that the California Republican Party is a one-hand–tied- behind -your-back political party.

I hate a raw deal. I believe that Catholics and other Christians are misinformed when the vote for Catholic-in-name only politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Loretta Sanchez in Orange County. That’s why I began this educational, religious and political blog in 2006. The website is under my name or www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com or cinops be gone. Today, there are more than 1300 letters of information and persuasion. Thanks for reading some of these letters!

George H. Kubeck

P.S. I believe that the mindset and policies of our President Barrack Obama are real threats to the very existence of our beloved traditional America. I mean our historic values, freedom and religious liberties. Obama is like Iran is to Israel. Fortunately, this year we can vote our President out of office in an honest, not a Chicago type of election which I fear. Hopefully, KLAC 870 talk show hosts like Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt will explain all of the aforementioned and more to their radio listeners. Dennis Prager already does.

Question: How do we deal with, or how much credibility do we give to the Pravda or Goebbels type two-faced & double standard news media? The slant of the N.Y. Times promotes the culture of death values & policies.

Report on Walk for Life San Francisco 2012 – Part 1 of 2
Website: cinops be gone – Saturday, January 21, 2012

EWTN Television: Today - 11:30 A.M. – We view the host Doug Heck and Fr. Joseph Maria FMVA – the EWTN Chaplain from Birmingham, Alabama. Note the U.S. bishops’ visits with the Pope every 5 years.

“Every culture is based on ethical principles. In the U.S. we are experiencing outright hostility to Judeo-Christian principles. Pope Benedict, “Proceed with rational arguments in the public square. We must not be silent on certain issues. [Like life or marriage] Catholics be a leaven in society.”

Directly to San Francisco: Host Dolores Meehan – Co-Founder of Walk for Life: This is our 8th year in a row. We had 3,000 participants in 2005. We have more than the 50,000 last year. We have a new venue: Pacific Center Plaza: We are right in front of City Hall. We walk down Market Street.

Father Mark and Doug Perry: “The media dominates our lives. We have to that presence. People want to witness to the truth that there is dignity to human life. This weekend hundreds of diocese have their own marches in their own state. There are marches even in Europe.”

Father Fessio: “The church at Mass was crowded this morning. 1) Pro-life is here for all to see 2) The importance of natural marriage: vote for pro-life and family. The tide is turning. Abortion laws are not reasonable. Others, like Archbishop Gomez has big events this weekend in L.A.

Doug’s interview with young participants at the Walk for Life: Roger: “I’m against abortion. Wrong that it is even legalized. It takes someone’s life. Be a man let the baby live. Don’t press the girl to have an abortion.” A girl 14: She is a pro-life activist. She came with 3 bus loads. “There are other alternatives to abortion. Don’t force your child to have an abortion.”

Lori: She is a black American. African community is being targeted by abortion. It is a civil right issue. In our community 1 out of 2 are aborted. In 40 years abortion has cut our population in one-half. Go to the websites: http://blackgenocide.com or http://issueforlife.org

Jackie Stalnecker: She is with The Silent No More Awareness Campaign in Birmingham, Alabama. She shared her poignant experiences later on. She is going to Belgium. In Hungary life is protected in their Constitution. FROM HER A BIG HELLO FOR EVERYBODY FROM FATHER FRANK PAVONE.

Shawn Carney: Campaign Director of “40 Days for Life.” In L.A. County, the abortion mill in La Puente closed. Doug: the host for “Life on the Rock” interviewed a group of 17 who came from Arizona. It has become a yearly event for them. Last year with 50,000 we had only about 80 protesters.

Bishop Vasa: “A word of encouragement and gratitude for those who have worked so hard. Discouragement is the work of the devil. Trust we work for Jesus. No possibility of defeat: We will succeed. As a Christian we can’t stand idly by. All America is complicit in this abortion…”

Bishop Cordioleone: “We see young people here. We have an initiative called Parental Notification. The truth cannot be suppressed indefinitely. God’s mysterious way to bring people to people together, Catholics and other Christians… It gives me a lot of energy to see people here.” [Part 2 posted on the blog only, not e-mailed to you]

In Defense of Life, Love and Freedom
Cinops be gone – Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Prof. Helen Alvare discusses religious liberty and the effect of a 50-year social experiment shaping views about human life and sexuality. By Alton J. Pelowski, K. of C. Columbia – January 2012 – Questions & A.

“In September, the U.S. bishops formed an Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty to address concerns affecting religious liberty and conscience protection of individuals and religious institutions. The committee, chaired by Supreme Chaplain Bishop William E. Lori of Bridgeport, Conn., has focused on a number of recent public policy concerns related to the Church’s teachings about human life and sexuality.

“For example, the U.S. bishop’s Office of Migration and Refugee Services was recently denied federal funding for its services, due to new U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regulations requiring that contraception and abortion be made available to victims of human trafficking.

“To explore the implications if such policies, Columbia interviewed Helen M. Alvare, an associate professor of law at George Mason University School of Law in Fairfax, Va., and the former spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities.

Columbia: How does the Department of Health and Human Services mandate for insurance coverage of contraception and sterilization in virtually all private health insurance plans relate to religious freedom and to public health?

Helen Alavare: What the U.S. Department of Health and Services did was to mandate coverage of contraception, sterilization, and some emergency contraceptions, sterilization, and some emergency contraception that can act in an abortifacient way, under the rubric of “preventive health care services.” They provided what they called a “conscience clause,” but framed it so narrowly that any religious entity that either serves or employs people of other faiths cannot take advantage of this exception… on current scholarship indicating convincingly that the HHS mandate is not “preventive health.” To the contrary, it could even have the effect of introducing unintended pregnancies, out-of-wedlock births and abortions. This is due to phenomena called “risk compensation,” whereby, when the federal government floods the population with birth control, more people engage in the risk of sex outside of the committed relationship of marriage. The notion that this mandate is “preventive” is really absurd.

Prof. Helen Alvare’s answers other questions:

1) We have an opportunity right now about the fact that the Catholic approach, which is based on natural law, is actually the better path for happiness, for authentic equality between men and women, for the well being of children, and for the health of society. It is a different approach to sex, to marriage, to parenting that people will find attractive, because they have new evidence and have seen the government experiment go terribly awry…

2) It is very important now for all Catholics to know what the Church teaches about human sexuality, marriage and family, and to recognize that this teaching has to do with human happiness and freedom, the wellbeing of the vulnerable and the equality of men and women. The health of their own family communities and really their nation is at stake. Catholics need to take these teachings seriously and seek out candidates who support this view of the human person. They also need to contact members of their federal and state delegations, because there is a tremendous amount going on right new with regard to marriage, respect for life, health care and educational policy that closely relates to whether or not Catholics will even be permitted to act publicly, or even speak publicly, about their convictions in these crucial areas. …

Who are these Christians?*

2012-01-15T10:53:00.000-08:00

Who are these Christians?*
Cinops be gone – Sunday, January 15, 2012

“We are told in the Acts of the Apostles (11:26) that it was at Antioch – it must have been about the year 44 A.D. – that the followers of Jesus were first called Christians. From certain linguistic characteristics we can conclude with relative certainty that it was the Roman authorities who bestowed this name on the believers.

“By it, the disciples of Jesus were designated as the coterie of Christ, as the party of Christ; it goes without saying that the authorities were well aware that this Christ had been put to death as a criminal. Hence Christians were known as the followers of a criminal and consequently since they concurred with his teaching, were themselves worthy of death, being, as it were, members of a criminal organization.

“The name Christian thus became a term used in criminal: whoever bore this name did not have to commit any further crime; he was already guilty. It is all the more remarkable, therefore, that the Christians themselves embraced this designation, which meant death for them.

“Its earliest use is in the First Epistle of Saint Peter, and it occurs with great frequency in the so-called Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles [Didache] and in the letter of Ignatius [ of Antioch], two collections of texts that probably originated in the region of Antioch in about the year 100.

“How can one explain the fact that Christians adopted precisely this designation, which put them literally in danger of death, and were even proud of it? But, in fact, this connection has persisted throughout all of history and today even more than ever before. We might recall, for instance, the martyrs who shed their blood for Christ in Mexico in the ‘20s and ‘30s or the martyrs of the Third Reich – Edith Stein, Maximilian Kolbe, to name just two of the many we might mention.

“Acceptance of the name “Christian” is an acknowledgment of martyrdom, the expression of one’s readiness for martyrdom. The terms “Christian” and “martyr” are synonymous. When we call ourselves Christians, this meaning is always implied.”

Kmiec - "Obama: Friend of the Church?"

2012-01-14T11:26:00.000-08:00

Kmiec – “Obama: A Friend of the Church?”
www.cinopsbegone.blogspot.com – Saturday, January 14, 2012

In my analysis, this guy Doug Kmiec is a “sleeper”. He figures out how the Church can adjust to the spirit of the world and water down its beliefs and its rights under the First Amendment. He is somewhat like MSNBC host CINOP Chris Matthews a self-proclaimed and proud Alinskyite who had the gall to call Michele Bachmann a “moron” to her face on election night 2010.

Let’s check out excerpts of the article by James K. Fitzpatrick in the Wanderer Jan. 5, 2012 titled, “President Obama: A Friend of the Church?”

“Have you been wondering how liberal Catholics are going to defend the Department of Health and Human Services’(HHS) decision to require Catholic Institutions to provide coverage for abortion and birth control in their employees’ health care programs? Kmiec shows us how. I predict that we are going to hear a version of Kmiec’s Nov. 25 article in the “National Catholic Reporter” in many circles on the Catholic left.

“In it, he contends that Catholics should feel free to support Obama and the HHS ruling. He assures us that the Obama administration is engaged in a praiseworthy effort to promote religious freedom when it requires Catholic organizations to pay for their employees’ abortions…

“Religious liberty would be violated,” Kmiec continues, only if a Catholic institution were required ‘to affirmatively endorse or require the use of artificial contraception or any other choice contrary to its own teaching or face a penalty.’ & the HHS ruling, he argues, does not do that. It does nothing more than give employees of Catholic, the religious liberty as “citizens to be guided by faith.” Watch: This will become the party line of liberal Catholics in government & media in coming months…

“It must be stressed that when President Obama spoke at Notre Dame in 2009, he assured his audience that he would guarantee Catholics with pro-life convictions a “sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health-care policies are grounded not only in sound science but also in clear ethics.”…

“One can only hope that a good number of the 54% of Catholics who voted for Obama will see through this attempted deception; that they will have learned by now that there is a marked difference between what Obama says and how he governs. The flip-flop from the defense of the conscience clause to the new HHS mandate is just in the latest in a long line of flip-flops…

who called George W. Bush “unpatriotic” for borrowing $4 trillion in eight years, and then borrowed 12 trillion in three… who demonizes millionaires and the “top 1% of wage earners” and now spends his vacations with them on Martha’s Vineyard; … fooling the voters is an admired art form. But it is hard to excuse someone [Doug Kmiec] who uses the same guideline while pretending to defending principle and the teachings of the Church."

George H. Kubeck,

Liberal Catholics teachers & writers stop playing deception games with Catholic readers! The bottom line is that when you include Obama’s promotion of the absolute evils of same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research etc…, THERE IS NO CATHOLIC REASON TO VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA OR ANY CINOP! GET IT DOUG KMIEC!

405/605 Tea Party Meeting - Leisure World

2012-01-13T12:54:00.000-08:00

405/605 Tea Party Meeting – Leisure World
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Friday, January 13, 2012

We had the introduction by David Harlow, the President of the Tea Party in Leisure World, Seal Beach, Calif., on Wed. Jan. 11, 2012, 7 P.M. Many thanks to them for the use of their facility: There must have been more than 200 in attendance.

Nick was the emcee for the evening. There was an introduction of several local persons running for office. The three main speakers were John Ziegler, Abraham Lincoln and Tom Paine.

John Ziegler: John is a talk show host and has a career in radio. He produced “Media Malpractice.” Tea party patriots have a tendency to fall in love with their candidate. We need more than love. We need electability in the kind of America we live in. The mainstream media is vicious in their attacks and will again embrace Obama. He believes we have a chance to beat Obama with Romney as the candidate. We need independents.

He stated that the Conservative Media is a business not a cause. The number one issue is the repeal of OBAMACARE and Romney will definitely repeal it. Newt’s attacks on Romney helps the Democratic Party.

The stand-in for Abe Lincoln: The power of the Constitution will always be with the people. Obama manipulates the Constitution. Powers of the Constitution are few for the federal but many for the States. There are moral laws that should direct our nation.

Our Constitution is only for virtuous people and for a moral and religious people. George Washington, “Education of our youth and in the science of government.”

The stand-in for Citizen Paine: 85% of the people are on our side. How to get the message to all of these voters? 40% of the independents will decide. How to walk the precincts with nuts and bolts skills? We will win. “What we concentrate on We Will Become.”

This is not a political fight. Find common ground via common sense ideas and values. We are fighting for the survival of our country. Do not listen to the Doomers and Gloomers! The big question” How to turn out your largest voting supporters. Alliances and coalitions will be the winners for us.

You need communication skills to do this. “The citizen wants to know what is going to happen to him.” President Reagan, “Nothing will happen in politics without enthusiasm.” Stand up! And Cry out loudly! Are you ready to have the best turn out in history? RESPOND YES. Obama does not have America in his heart. Star packing your bag. How to defeat an incumbent President Obama?

Frame your issues: It’s about ‘what’ not who! Knocking on doors and what to say: Selling common sense and reason: 75% say the government is out of control. Organize your volunteers to create the maximum turnout of voters. “Government must be the servant not the master.”

Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopbbegone.blogspot.com – Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012

Genesis 19:1-29 – The Best of the Bible- 365 must Read Bible Passages – a classic – 1996- Livingstone Corp.

That evening the two angels came to the entrance of the city of Sodom, and Lot was sitting there as they arrived. When he saw them he stood up to meet them. Then he welcomed them and bowed low to the ground. My lords,” he said, “come to my home to wash your feet, and be my guests for the night. You may then get up in the morning as early as you like and be on your way again.”

“Oh no,” they said, “We’ll just spend the night here in the city square.” But Lot insisted, so at least they went home with him. He set a great feast before them, complete with fresh bread made without yeast. After the meal they were preparing to retire for the night, all of the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house. They shouted to Lot, “Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them so that we can have sex with them.”

Lot stepped outside to talk to them, shutting the door behind him. “Please my brothers,” he begged, “don’t do such a wicked thing. Look – I have two virgin daughters. Do with them as you wish, but leave these men alone, for they are under my protection.

“Stand back!” they shouted. “Who do you think you are? We let you settle among us, and now you are trying to tell us what to do! We’ll treat you far worse than those other men!” And they lunged at Lot and began breaking down the door. But the two angels reached out and pulled Lot in and bolted the door. Then they blinded the men of Sodom so they couldn’t find the doorway.

“Do you have any other relatives here in the city?” the angels asked. “Get them out of this place – sons-in-laws, sons, daughters, or anyone else. For we will destroy the city completely. The stench of the place has reached the LORD, and he has sent us to destroy it.” So Lot rushed out to tell his daughters’ fiancés. “Quick, get out of the city! The Lord is going to destroy it.” But the young men thought he was only joking.

At dawn the next morning the angels became insistent. “Hurry,” they said to Lot. “Take your wife and your two daughters who are here. Get out of here right now, or you will be caught in the destruction of the city.”

When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the LORD was merciful. “Run for your lives!” the angels warned. “Do not stop anywhere in the valley. And don’t look back! Escape to the mountains or you will die.”

“Oh no, my lords, please,” Lot begged. You have been so kind to me and saved my life, and you have granted me such mercy. But I cannot go to the mountains. Disaster would catch up to me there, and I would soon die. See there is a small village nearby. Please let me go there instead; don’t you see how small it is? Then my life will be saved. “All right the angel said, “I will grant your request. I will not destroy that little village. But hurry! For I can do nothing until you are there.” From that time on, that village was known as Zoar.

The sun was rising as Lot reached the village. Then the LORD rained down fire and sulphur from the heavens on Sodom and Gomorrah. He utterly destroyed them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, eliminating all life – people, plants, and animals alike. But Lot’s wife looked back as she was following along behind him and she became a pillar of salt.”

Ought to be Best Seller “The Broken Path” – Part 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com –Monday, January 9, 2012

Judie Brown is a voice crying in the wilderness. The time has come to hear her voice in the public square. Her last thoughts in the introduction of the Book will be become her first.

“I am not going to stand or walk on a broken path and continue to watch souls go the wrong way. I love being Catholic and I want others to see why… An ordained priest, including Catholic bishops, cannot spread the Good News on Sunday and then, on Monday, decide to ignore the impudence of the Nancy Pelosis, Joe Bidens, and Chris Matthews of the world… An ordained priest, including Catholic bishops, cannot feed the hungry souls when he is more interested in playing footsie with politicians… [This book is an excellent read.]

THE PROBLEM IS THAT FAR TOO MANY BISHOPS HAVE CHOSEN TO AVOID, DENY, OR OTHERWISE IGNORE WHAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY THEIR FIRST AND PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY – THE SAVING OF SOULS…

My task is not to create disunity but to shine light on what is true according to Catholic teaching versus to what is being peddled by some as new pabulum-like strain of Catholic mush… I have been told that our persistent requests that the bishops courageously stand on the laws of the Church is nothing more than denigrating the office of the bishops… Certain bishops have told me that the interpretation of Catholic Church law is not any of my business and that they have their own lawyers to guide their decisions…

There will be those who will decry this work as just another attempt to criticize the Catholic bishops and spread false information among the faithful and the secular world. Such allegations are nothing. They are but an extension of the gobbledygook I have to live with for many years… Today it is nearly impossible to distinguish the Catholic American from any other American. This is unhealthy, not only for the Church but for America as well…

To be clear, we Catholics should proudly stand as witnesses to what is right and just… As Catholics in America, our primary goal must focus on bringing Christ to the public square and standing firmly on the truths taught to us as Catholics… Believe or not, nowhere in Church documents can we find a definition of the ordained priest as partisan politician, lobbyist, or labor leader… As shepherds serving in direct lineage with Christ’s first apostles, the Catholic bishops have a solemn responsibility to feed their people the spiritual nourishment necessary for the flock to grow in its love of Christ,

The involvement of the U.S.C.C.B. in the health care reform debates has made it quite easy to define the reasons, the motives, and the results of a hierarchy that is largely – but not totally – politicized first and Catholic second… For its own sake, of course, there is nothing wrong with political compromise. That’s what politics is all about. But when political posturing is used to water down or misrepresent Catholic teaching, an immense problem results…

It is no secret that the leadership of the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops U.S.C.C.B… has taken the moral currency of Catholic doctrine and, to a large degree, squandered it on securing seats at the table of the political and cultural powerbrokers in America… First came the near silence during a political process that resulted in the election of the most pro-abortion, anti-Catholic individual in the history of the United States – President Barack Hussein Obama… It is obvious that something quite disturbing has happened to Catholic identity in the U.S. Catholic structures, such as schools & hospitals, have grown dependent on government financial support…

Sick Obama Ideas

Sick Obama Ideas
The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopbegoneblogspot.com – Epiphany Sun., Jan. 8, 2012

There at least seven rotten ideas from just one department of the Obama-Czar-CINOP Regime. Take Health and Human Services led by CINOP Sebelius and her clones in Congress including Nancy Pelosi and Loretta Sanchez. At least two of these ideas will make you cringe or vomit.

1.)*“I believe that policy makers have adopted a philosophy that some authors have called “sexualityism.” Sexualityism is a belief that sex has nothing to do with procreation or even the unity between two people, but only wants to preserve the good of expressing yourself sexually for the pleasure – psychological, physical or otherwise -- it gives you as an individual.”

2.)“In addition to the birth control mandates, I think the clearest expression of the federal government embrace of this ideology is its refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act. Think about it! This means that our federal government is affirming sexual expression with no possibility for procreation – in same-sex relationships – as of equal value with sexual expression intrinsically related to procreation.”

3.)“What the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did was to mandate coverage of contraception, sterilization, and some emergency contraception that can act in abortifacient way, under the rubric of “preventive health care services,” They provided what they called a “conscience clause,” but framed it so narrowly that any religious entity that either serves or employs people of other faiths cannot take advantage of this exception.”

4.)“The federal government, more than ever before, will not abide the slightest dissenting voice on the subject of human sexuality. They have put their vision of the human person directly in conflict with religious freedom.”

5.) “Despite the fact that religious institutions have been superior providers in education, health care and social services, the federal administration appears to prefer that the government cooperate with, or even allow to exist, only those organizations strictly agreeing with the governments philosophy. As a result, religious institutions could grow smaller and, in some cases, disappear.”

6.)“Yet, we have the highest rates of nonmarital pregnancies and births in our history, and continuing high rates of abortion and sexually transmitted diseases – higher than before the government became so activist on birth control. There remains, however, a tendency for both federal and state governments to continue to propose more birth control as the answer to nearly everything, and the greatest availability of abortion as the answer to everything else.”

7.)“When you separate sex from babies and reduce sex to just another activity, it’s not only the children who are suffering because of the resulting abortions and unstable family situations, but adults as well. Women, in particular are made miserable in the new market for relationships made possible by widespread birth control and abortion; they feel they must submit to sex as the price for a relationship.”*

How Mitt Romney Enabled 'Gay Marriage"

2012-01-07T17:51:00.000-08:00

How Mitt Romney Enabled ‘Gay Marriage’
The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Saturday, January 07, 2012

By Amy Contrada who is a Massachusetts-based political activist, writer, founder of the MassResistance blog & author of “Mitt Romney’s Deception: His Stealth Promotion of Gay ‘Gay Rights’ and ‘Gay Marriage’ in Mass.” I saw the book on Amazon for $17.50. [Remember Senator Harry Reid is also a Mormon-in-name-only politician.]

“Mitt Romney has claimed that he “took every conceivable step within the law to defend traditional marriage.” This is simply not true. In fact, all he had to do to prevent “gay marriage” from beginning in 2004 was follow the clear separation of powers laid out in the state Constitution. But instead, he kowtowed to the state high court’s dream of “gay marriage” in its 2003 opinion, Goodridge v. Department of Public Health.

“Romney’s liberal tendencies have been well noted, especially with regard to RomneyCare, TARP, gun control, abortion, climate change and immigration policy. “But his failure to stand up for constitutional principles and conservative values following the Goodridge opinion is perhaps his largest failing. That ruling was possibly the most significant perversion of judicial authority since Roe v. Wade. Yet Romney called it “Law’ that he must implement and follow.

“Romney has since repeatedly said that the courts cannot make law and that judicial activism must be opposed. So here we have another Romney flip-flop. Which is it? Can – or cannot courts - make law. In November 2003, four unelected judges on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court asked the legislature to change the existing man-woman marriage stature to allow for same-sex couples. The legislature ignored that request, knowing the court had not power to order them or to overturn existing law. And the law was never changed.

“But Gov. Romney forged ahead in 2004, ordering his Department of Public Health to print new “Party A & Party B” marriage licenses, and having his chief legal counsel train the town clerks and justices of peace to license and perform the same-sex “marriages” [with no allowances for conscientious objectors]. His legal counsel was later thanked by the homosexual-transgender lobby for his support of the Goodridge ruling. And the N.Y. Times later reported that, while running for governor in 2002, Romney had promised homosexual activists that he would not work against the expected “gay marriage” ruling.

“Gov. Romney had a chance to exhibit genuine leadership on the issue of judicial activism, but chose to cave to the liberal sentiments and donors. His unlawful implementation of “gay marriage” in Mass. In May 2004 set a horrible precedent, and emboldened judicial tyrants and sexual-radical activists around the country.

“What’s more, his current promises to protect traditional marriage should be taken with a grain of salt. For all his talk he has openly supported “civil unions” – differing from marriage only in name. The proposed federal marriage amendment he has pledged to support would not ban civil unions. (Unlikely to pass…)

“Had Mitt Romney just upheld his oath as governor to protect the Massachusetts Constitution and abide by the laws as enacted by the legislature, the marriage landscape across the country would be different now. If Romney couldn’t stand up for constitutional government and conservative values in Mass., how can we trust him to stand up for them in Washington.” Check “Whistleblower” Jan. 2012 issue.

The Tough Love Memo to All U.S. Catholic Bishops

The Tough Love Memo to All U.S. Catholic Bishops

The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Saturday, Jan. 7, 2012

From Bishop Samuel Aquila in North Dakota

“Therefore anyone who seeks an office in the Church must know that he thereby declares himself for a greater share of the Cross … a shepherd who seeks nothing but approval, who would be content to do only what is required of him, would certainly not be taking his place where the Master has taken his.” Jan. 3rd Meditation by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger in “Co-Workers of the Truth” Ignatius Press, 1992:

Boot Pro-Abortion Politicians from Church: Washington, D.C. (Life-News) by S. Ertelt, the Wanderer/7-25-11 –“In an interview with Catholic World Report, A Catholic bishop up in North Dakota has given some of the strongest comments yet from a Catholic Church leader on the thorny question of what to do about Catholic politicians who support abortion.

“Bishop Samuel Aquila made it crystal clear he thinks there is a process by which Catholic officials should confront pro-abortion politicians and that they should be “expelled” from the Church if they don’t back down from supporting abortion. Responding to the question “How should the Church respond to Catholic politicians who support legalized abortion?” Bishop Aquila said:

“Their particular bishops can use the process of correction that is given to us in Sacred Scripture, and especially in Matthew’s Gospel. Our Lord tells us to speak to the person and then two or three others with us if he does not change.” “If he still does not change the Church can speak to him, which is done through the bishop. {The bishop} exercises the authority of Christ. Christ then says that if that person is still obstinate and will not change, treat him as a tax collector or Gentile. Expel him.” Far from delighting in throwing people out of the Catholic Church, Aquila says:

“We do this out of love for the person, seeking his conversion. He needs to understand that the salvation of his soul is in jeopardy because of the position he is taking.” “Catholics are called to defend life, particularly that of the unborn. The Church’s teaching is clear. If we don’t challenge public officials who reject this teaching, we will leave them in their sins and confuse the faithful.”

“Thomas Peters of CatholicVote.org applauded Bishop Aquila in an August 15 blog post responding to the interview. “Strong words, yes. But if we do not believe in and speak this strongly about protecting innocent life, how can we speak strongly about other important issues?” [same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research] he said, adding that Aquila is “unambiguous about what the rules for disobedient Catholic politicians ought to be.”…

“It bothers me if any politician, Catholic or not, is for abortion,” Archbishop Dolan has said, “Because in my mind, we’re talking about a civil right, we’re not talking about a matter of Catholic Church discipline. We can’t allow the noble pro-life cause to be reduced to a denominational issue.” In 2008, Dolan took House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Joe Biden to task for misrepresenting Catholic pro-life teachings… “Does the baby alive in the womb (a biological, not doctrinal, fact) deserve the full protection of the law or not.” “We cannot be mute on this premier civil rights issue of our day,” now Cardinal Timothy Dolan said.

Please send signed Petitions to Los Angeles Una Voce

2012-01-07T13:59:00.000-08:00

Dear Friends in Christ,

Una Voce Los Angeles recently petitioned our new Archbishop for a personal parish to be staffed by the FSSP (Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter). Two FSSP priests have also met with the Archbishop. The Archbishop himself has asked that UVLA circulate a petition to see if there is an interest in having a personal parish (dedicated solely to the Traditional Mass, Traditional rites of the Sacraments, daily Mass, etc.) in our Archdiocese. So, there is a good chance for success in getting a personal parish established, we just need a lot of prayer and help in getting the attached petition circulated and signed by many, many Catholics.

Signers must reside in the Los Angeles Archdiocese. The petitions need to be mailed to Una Voce Los Angeles, P.O. Box 3251, Culver City, CA 90231-3251

We would like to have your help, and the help of others you know, in distributing and collecting signatures on the petition. We would really appreciate you and others passing the petition around to anyone in your parish or that you know, who is willing to show their support for an FSSP personal parish to be established in Los Angeles Archdiocese and for the promotion of the Traditional Mass. Children are allowed to sign as long as they can handwrite their signature, no age limits. Please circulate the petition quietly and privately, among yourselves. You do not need a pastor's permission to do this. However, we ask that you do not stand outside your parish church and hand out petitions after Mass to everyone, unless you personally have received permission from your pastor. We prefer that you circulate the petition privately to others, and by email or mail. Thank you for your cooperation with this.

Attached is a copy of the petition. You may print it out and make copies to distribute to those who may be supportive of the Traditional Mass of the Roman Rite (which our Holy Father now calls the Extra-Ordinary Form). Petition signers do not have to be attending the Traditional Mass, they may sign if they support the Pope in promoting the Mass of the Ages which was never abrogated. Our Holy Father recently told the world about the traditional Mass - what was once sacred, remains sacred - he asks for it to be made available to all Catholics world-wide.

Again, we have only until Jan. 12 to mail in petitions to Una Voce Los Angeles (address at bottom of petition). We are hoping for at least 1,000 or many, many more signed petitions. Thank you for anything you are able to do to help with this most important cause for the future of our Archdiocese and the Catholic families that desire an FSSP personal parish be established in the Los Angeles Archdiocese.

Praying all is well with you and your family.
God bless you,
Vicki Peters

Vice President, Una Voce Los Angeles

Petition for a Personal Parish in the Los Angeles Archdiocese Dedicated Solely to the

Extra-Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite

Your Excellency Archbishop Gomez,

We, the undersigned faithful of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, support the desire of our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI,

to promote the Extra-Ordinary Form of the Mass of the Roman Rite.

In accordance with His Holiness, we respectfully request that you invite the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter to assist you

in establishing and staffing a personal parish centrally located in the greater Los Angeles Archdiocese to be dedicated

solely to the Traditional Mass of the Roman Rite, now known as the Extra-Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, as stated in the

provisions of Article 10 of his motu proprio Summorum Pontificum:

Art. 10. The ordinary of a particular place, if he feels it appropriate, may erect a personal parish in accordance with can. 518

for celebrations following the ancient form of the Roman rite, or appoint a chaplain, while observing all the norms of law.

We make this appeal to you in order to most effectively satisfy the legitimate needs and desires of the faithful who wish to live a locally-accessible, constant, full and integrated parish life according to the traditional Roman rites of our One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and the spirituality of the Roman Missal published by Blessed John XXIII in 1962. We thank Your Excellency for your consideration of our request.

Report on the Meeting at McDonald's

Report on the Meeting at McDonald’s
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogstop.com - Thursday, January 5, 2012

My people are destroyed for lack of information. The Catholic vote for the culture of death in 2008 was 53%. It may again be a victory for the culture of death candidates in 2012.

The bad news is we had no one in attendance. The good news is we will have more of the same agenda that you can use on your own across the country or at our next meeting Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, 9-10AM at McDonald’s Restaurant on Valley View below Ball Rd. in Cypress, California.

On the Agenda!

A.)How can we digest in one letter the information we obtain from the following two letters, and be able to pass it out to the parishioners in the pews?
“Archbishop Gomez and the CINOP” – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Thurs. Dec. 1, 2011
“Overview of Bishop Lori’s Testimony on Religious Liberty” cinops be gone – Thurs. Nov. 3/11

B.)What is the best follow-up to yesterday’s letter on Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor?
“Hilda Solis: Who are you?” – www.cinopsbegoneblogsport.com – Wed. Jan. 4, 2012
I think you will agree that the thoughts of Bishop Aquila make a lot of sense. His thoughts will be printed out before the next meeting. What are some ways to follow-up on the message of Bishop Aquila? E-mail me on this matter or any other suggestions in Section A. B. or C.

C.)Judie Brown’s book, The Broken Path. I am concerned that Judie is not really promoting her book. However, I just checked Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: The Broken Path- John Weingarten (Spokane, WA United States), Jan. 4, 2012 gave her a 5 star review. Here is his review: We must make it a best seller:

“The Broken Path is an amazing, disturbing, thought provoking, and ultimately uplifting book by one of the true heroes of the pro-life movement. It’s eminently readable and, at least for me, a real page-turner. Once I started reading, I had a hard time putting it down…

If you’re confused about why so many Catholic bishops don’t stand up to courageously defend the most fundamental of life issues the Catholic Church teaches. The Broken Path will set you straight. If you don’t understand how Catholic hospitals could be performed sterilization procedures and offering artificial birth control (both contrary to Catholic teaching and a culture of life), you’ll learn the answer here. If you’re wondering why a Catholic student is likely to be led away from the faith at most “Catholic” universities (and where to turn to find a good one) The Broken Path explains it all.

Finally, my advice is to buy and read this book. Buy extra copies for your favorite priests and your bishop, and, as Judie Brown wisely advises, pray for our priests and bishops.”

I purchased my book from American Life League, P.O. Box 1350, Va. 22555, www.all.org. The book costs $14.95 and the shipping cost was $5.95. Get the Christian book stores to stock it up.

George H. Kubeck, Remember we are not discussing prudential issues upon which all Americans can agree or disagree. The mindset of the CINOP in promoting absolute evils like partial-birth abortion, same-sex marriage etc. is incomprehensible. He is on the same level as persons promoting fornication, adultery and pornography.

Hilda Solis: Who are you?

Hilda Solis: Who are you?
The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Wednesday, January 4, 2012

P.S. How can any normal Catholic use the Catholic label to run for office with the beliefs and voting records similar to Hilda Solis? How much longer must American Catholics and voters put up with this hogwash? Mr. CINOP, run for office but don’t use the Catholic label. You are fraud and hypocrite when you do so. You are lying to the voters, Catholic and non-Catholics. Hilda Solis, shame on you! Stop prostituting the Catholic label!

You, Hilda Solis, call yourself a Catholic in public office. You are President Barack Obama’s so-called Catholic secretary of labor. In the past you have spoken publicly as follows:

*“When Solis served in the U.S. House in 2003, she voted against the partial-birth abortion ban. The day President Bush signed it; she called for the Supreme Court to reverse it. “I would just like to say it’s the wrong decision that the president is making today,” Solis said, “and we have to stand up and challenge him.”

“On the 31st anniversary of Roe v. Wade in 2004, Solis celebrated three decades of abortion on demand. “I’ll take a pro-choice president, a pro-choice House, “And I look forward to the day again when … And I look forward to the day again when … we can build a majority so that anti-choice legislation won’t even come to the floor.”

“In 2009, when the nation was debating Obama’s health care plan, Solis, now in the cabinet, told the AFL-CIO convention that people who said the plan would fund abortion were lying. “Don’t believe the misinformation and distortions perpetrated by those whose agenda is only to kill reform at any cost, like that we plan to do … use federal dollars to fund abortions,” Solis said. These are lies, as the president said; he is going to call them out.”…

[Hilda Solis showed up with a $4.2 million grant to the Catholic University President John Garvey.]

“Garvey had just published a powerful oped in The Washington Post attacking regulations the Department of Health and Human Services has proposed under Obamacare that would require all private health plans to cover sterilizations and all contraceptives approved by the FDA – including those that cause abortion.

“If we comply, as the law requires, we will be helping our students to do things that we teach them, in our classes and in our sacraments, are sinful – sometimes gravely so,” wrote Garvey. “It seems to us that a proper respect for religious liberty would warrant an exemption for our university and other institutions like it.” The regulation would also force individual lay Catholics – mandated by Obamacare to buy health insurance – to either break the law or act against their consciences…

*Excerpts from Terrence P. Jeffrey titled, “The Question Hilda Solis won’t answer” in the Wanderer, Oct. 13/11

George H. Kubeck – Reminder – we meet tomorrow Thurs. Jan. 5th and Thurs. Jan. 19th from 9-10 AM at McDonald’s on Valley View just below Ball Rd. in Cypress. Also mark your calendar for Thursday, Feb. 2nd & 16th.

The Possible Deadlocked Republican Convention

2012-01-01T19:43:00.000-08:00

The Possible Deadlocked Republican Convention
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopbegoneblogspot.com – Jan. 1, 2012

Background: I first sent 80 dollars to the Bachmann campaign. Then 40 dollars to the Cain campaign. Yesterday, I sent 20 dollars to the Newt campaign. What’s the beef with Romney? You can’t trust him on marriage. As a Republican governor of Massachusetts 2002-2006, he was a RINO and a Mormon- in- name only. He was weak in the promotion of marriage, life and family. Same-sex marriage America is not America anymore. As Governor he was influenced by the Log Cabin Republicans. They are a misguided special interest Gay agenda group who want to change the soul of the Republican Party. The Gay activists have succeeded with the Democratic Party.

Keep the following news items in mind: Orange County Register, Fri. Dec. 30/11 – Opinion Section:

1.Gay Marriage: Deroy Murdock, media fellow with the Hoover Institute, Stanford University-------- -- “As a gay-marriage proponent, I was pleased to learn that then Gov. Willard Mitt Romney, R. Mass., issued at least 189 special-issue, one-day marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2005 alone. These documents let these 378 people enjoy nuptials officiated by relatives, friends and others who normally do not perform weddings. This boost for gay marriage surprised me, given Romney’s numerous contrary pronouncements on the matter. “I agree with 3000 years of recorded history,” Romney announced as Governor. ‘Marriage is an institution between a man and a woman. ‘I oppose same-sex marriage,’ Romney declared at Iowa’s Dec. 15 GOP debate. ‘That’s been my position from the beginning’. ROMNEY’S STATEMENT CONFLICTS WITH HIS GUBERNATORIAL BEHAVIOR.” [Do we not have a Mormon-in-name-only Governor? Isn’t Democratic Senator Harry Reid one?]

2. Nancy Pelosi vs. the Knights of Columbus: http://cinopsbegoneblogspot.com – Sunday, Oct. 24/10 This is a horrendous scandal. It took place in the Massachusetts State Legislature in June, 2007. The Knights of Columbus with the help of all Christian denominations [Especially Evangelicals] collected 170,000 signatures to put on the ballot for the marriage amendment. [Marriage is between a man and a woman.] Nancy Pelosi came to town and bribed 16 Knights of Columbus Democratic State legislators with campaign money which came mostly from the Gay Agenda Lobby. [Does that include Log Cabin Republicans?] These 16 K.C. members blocked the marriage amendment measure from being on the ballot in 2008. For Nancy Pelosi this was a great victory; not good for the Democratic Party’s Presidential nominee for this amendment to be on the Massachusetts ballot in 2008.

3. Columnist Cal Thomas: “[Louisiana Gov.] Bobby Jindall’s electoral and economic successes should serve not only as a model, but also an inspiration to Republican candidates for president and Congress.” Jindall’s first-term record: a.) 26% ($9 billion) – reduced state budget, b.) 45,000 new jobs announced, c.) 4th year more people moving into Louisiana than out, d.) 68.5% - re-elected in October with this percentage of votes. Bobby is the Republican governor in a Democratic registered state.

George H. Kubeck,

P.S. President Barrack Obama is so far out on core American values that you cannot really place him on an American baseball team. I am sorry to share this reality with you. Neither can you permit the double standard two-faced mainstream media decide who will be the Republican candidate for President?

Happy New Year!*

2011-12-31T15:41:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!*
O Lord, my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot in your hands (Ps 16:5)

The background of this Psalm verse is the ancient image of the cup containing the lots of each man, and God holding these lots. Yet in this image two different conceptions about the meaning and challenge of time collide, conceptions that even nowadays still determine our struggle for the future.

The pagan world 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 the cup with lots, containing winners and losers. But this cup is held “in your hands”, in the hands of eternal Wisdom and eternal Love. This is the indispensible 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.

The Latin translation of the Bible has conferred on this inexhaustible Psalm verse still greater depth: In your hands, there rests my time. In purely linguistic terms we could also translate: In your hands there rests my temple.

Thus an image arises of ourselves entrusting our head, our temples, to God’s good hands. It also becomes evident that man’s time is not the time reckoned by the revolutions of the sun, the earth, or the moon. Far from it! With man a new center of the world has appeared, a new unit of calculation: a heartbeat, constituting the measure of his existence, even the new measure of all being as such, and the new center of the world.

To draw our existence out of this time, to acknowledge this time as our true time, and out of this awareness to model this world – such is the call of this Psalm verse. The time of the heart is transformed into sunlit time by the fact that our heart does not beat in a vacuum: our heart, conferring rhythm also on our brain and our mind, finds true timing of its beat by putting itself into the hands of him who holds all our time in his hands – into the hands of eternal Wisdom, which is eternal Love and so our only Hope.

And so then, 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!

#5 of 5 – A Critical Analysis of Just/Faith
The relentless pursuit of the truth – website - cinops be gone – Friday, December 30, 2011

We continue and finish the classic article by William A. Borst in the Mindszenty Report – V. LIII – No. II.

“The Tender Road to Death: cont’d – When married to social justice, notions of equality tilt the playing field in favor of the poor and dissident. Charity quickly becomes the business of politics and not religion. ONE NEED ONLY REFER TO LYNDON JOHNSON’S 1964 WAR ON POVERTY, WHICH VIRTUALLY DESTROYED THE BLACK AMERICAN FAMILY. SINCE 1973 ONE THIRD OF THE NATION’S 50 MILLION ABORTIONS WERE PERFORMED ON BLACK WOMEN.

“Church leaders have cast aside any notions of private property by trumping them with modernist ideas of equality, fairness, and diversity: Social justice has become a government policy that has redistributed resources confiscated from the wealthy who earned them and given to those who did nothing to deserve them in exchange for votes. The Church made no mention of these wholesale violations of the 7th Commandment.

“A Product of the Sixties: A simple knowledge of Church history requires that any Christian articulation of social justice that seeks to hand the poor over to government for dependency and control in antithetical to the concept of justice and the common good. In Quadragesimo Anno, Pius XI related social justice to the necessary set of conditions where each person makes free, non-government-coerced contributions to the common good.

“Social justice according to Pius XI referenced the necessity of private property against the tenets of socialistic thinking because the right of private ownership not only enabled individuals to provide for themselves and their families but also that the goods which the Creator destined for the entire family of mankind…

It mentioned the importance of wealth creation in providing a basis for charity. It warned against arbitrary wage demands, which a business cannot stand without its ruin and consequent calamity to the workers. Pius XI’s definition of social justice included the importance of subsidiary and a return to the moral formation so that people would not confuse freedom to accomplish with passions that have been disordered because of original sin.

“These ideas have apparently been revised. According to Frank Morriss of the Wanderer, the Catholic Church is fast becoming a product of the sixties. He laments the fact that The Catholic Church does not exist to solve your problems. And neither does the government. It is already clear that the U.S. is not going to be able to meet the obligations that it has assumed well into the future.

“There is going to be a great crisis of social democracy in the next 10 years in this country. The proverbial sword of Damocles hangs by an even more frayed thread in Europe. One does not have to be a weatherman to notice that the winds of social change that has been blowing through the Catholic Church’s open windows this past half century have been arguably pushing the Church off its divinely-oriented course.” Contact William A.

Catholic Eye's Disturbing New Analysis

Catholic Eye’s Disturbing News Analysis
In pursuit of the truth – website cinops be gone – Thursday, December 29, 2011

Ref. Catholic Eye is published monthly by the National Committee of Catholic Laymen, Inc. This is issue November 30, 2011, Number # 310. “Last month, HHS again sought to curb religious “overreaching” by abruptly cutting off what had been a five-year funding stream for a national program overseen by the Bishops Conference to aid foreign victims of human trafficking.

Two groups that applied for federal money but had lower scores than USCCB (and another with higher scores) got grants because they provide, HHS put it, the “full range of legally permissible gynecological and obstetric are” – read contraception and abortion… According to the DC Post, since 2006 the USCCB program has received “more than $19 million” (Health, abortion issues split Obama administration and Catholic groups,” Oct. 31).

“Is the Obama Administration ‘At War” with Catholics?” Not really, says Amy Sullivan, the reporter who penned a November 18 Time magazine story bannering that question. The “Adminstration’s relationship with Catholics,” she writes, “seems to suffer more from mismanagement than from any malice.” HHS mismanaged?

One of several self-proclaimed Demo-Catholics who give the Obama government religious cover, [CINOP] Kathleen Sebelius delivered the keynote speech at the 17th Annual Chicago Power Choice luncheon last month. Speaking of political who object to such as her new insurance mandates and reproductive “care” edicts, she had this to say, “They don’t just want to go after the last 18 months, they want to roll back the last 50 years in progress women have made in comprehensive health care in America, We’ve come a long way in women’s health over the last few decades, but we are war. Time should have bannered, “Is President Obama at War with Secretary Sebelius?”

“On November 8, Obama had an Oval Office tete-a-tete with Archbishop Dolan. News of the “private” meeting was leaked to Michael Sean Winter, who reported that “a White House official who spoke with NCR on background ... noted that the Obama administration has robust partnerships with organizations such as Catholic Relief Services and Catholic Charities USA,” and “looks forward to continuing these critical partnerships in the future” (“Obama meets quietly with head of U.S. bishops,” Nov. 12).

“Winters didn’t supply figures but the DC Post story we quoted earlier did: “Catholic groups,” it said, “have received at least $800 million in HHS funding to provide social services since the mid-1990s, including $348 million to the bishops’ conference.” On whose terms, eye wonders, will these “critical partnerships” On whose terms, eye wonders, will these “critical partnerships” be maintained? How long before contraceptive and abortion “care” are required of any federally funded group that aids disaster victims? No way should that have been a “quiet” meeting. [Note the monies involved and how it can influence bishops’ decisions.]

“During a news conference at the opening of the bishops’ annual fall gathering in Baltimore this month (Nov. 14-16) Archbishop Dolan, after telling reporters “we see in our “we see in our culture a drive to neuter religion,” and “well-financed, well-oiled sectors” wanting “to push religion back into the sacristy”- again, pretty muscular rhetoric – spoke of his encounter with Obama… “I write with a growing sense of urgency,” Dolan’s Sept. 20 missive to Obama began “about recent actions taken by your Administration that both escalate the threat to marriage and imperial the religious freedom of those who promote and defend marriage.”*…

The Gospel of Life against the Culture of Death*
Relentless pursuit of the truth – website - cinops be gone – Feast of the Holy Innocents – 12-28-2011

From “Fr. Broom’s Blog”* – Becoming the Voice of the Unborn!!!!!! – Thursday, October 20, 2011

“The unborn child in the womb of the pregnant woman has a right to life, just as anyone of us outside the womb because life begins at the moment of conception. It is Almighty God, the origin and author of life, who has the right to give and the right to end life. Human life, indeed, is sacred from the moment of conception until natural death.

“Pope John Paul II presents a modern Ignatian two standards: the Culture of Death (Satan) and the Gospel of Life. (Jesus, Our Lord and King). Let us stand with courage under the standard of Jesus Our King and defend the unborn life. Let us be the “Voice” of the child, who in the womb cannot be heard. The following are ways to defend the child:

1.) PRAYER! We must storm heaven with our daily prayers. The Hail Mary is especially powerful…

2.) STUDY! As followers of Christ, we should be well-informed by serious study of the topic. The excellent website PRIESTSFORLIFE@org.COM is a superb website with extensive information on abortion and the Pro-life movement. Try it out!

3.) PRAYER IN FRONT OF ABORTION MILLS. Find out where the nearest abortion clinic [site, facility] is to your home and silently protest by praying the Rosary in front. Your prayers might make the difference in enlightening a confused woman to turn around and have her baby.

4.) A PRO-LIFE LICENSE PLATE. Buy a pro-life license plate, with some catchy phrase like: IT IS NOT A CHOICE, IT IS A CHILD.

5.) VOTING. Remember the non-negotiables when you cast your vote at the poll. “Non-negotiable” means these are always intrinsically wrong and immoral. These are Homosexuality, Euthanasia, Contraception, Embryonic experimentation, and ABORTION…

6.) CHASTITY TEACHING! Parents please teach your children the importance of the virtue of chastity. “Blessed are the pure of heart, they will see God.” (Mt. 5:8) Unwanted teen pregnancies, all too often culminate in abortion! …

7.) ADOPTION NOT ABORTION. In cases where a pregnant woman is overwhelmed with the pregnancy and honestly believes that is beyond her capacity to raise the child, then encourage her as a valid option the possibility of ADOPTION. Many good couples, who for painful reason could not have a child, are very serious to adopt a child.

8.) ABORTION, MERCY AND RECONCILIATION. A woman who indeed has carried out an abortion should give in to despair! Rather TRUST in God’s infinite mercy. Confession, forgiveness and reconciliation are always possible. The loving arms of the Father of the Prodigal Son are always open to embrace…forgive.

9.) ULTRA SOUND. For pregnant women who are vacillating over not having the baby, encourage them to visit and have an ULTRASOUND and see the baby… Dr. B. Nathanson was converted by seeing the baby.

10.) THE GREATEST MIRACLE! The greatest miracle is HOLY MASS! Assist at HOLY MASS, participate in HOLY MASS. Offer the chalice and the Host for the unborn baby --- in reparation and prevention. In the Mass, the priest in the “person of Christ” offers the precious Body and Blood of Jesus for the innocent body and blood of the little baby! No greater prayer in the universe can compare to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass --- the “World’s Greatest Miracle”!”…

'Seizing the Center" Myth

2011-12-27T15:24:00.000-08:00

‘Seizing the Center’ Myth

By Thomas Sowell, Orange County Register, Orange County, Calif., Wed., Nov. 30, 2011

Talk show host Michael Medved, for example, apparently thinks the Republicans need a centrist presidential candidate in 2012. He said, “Most political battles are won by seizing the center.” Moreover, he added: “Anyone who believes otherwise ignores the electoral experience of the last 50 years.”

But when did Ronald Reagan, with this two landslide election victories, “seize the center”? For that matter, when did Franklin D. Roosevelt, with a record four presidential election victories, “seize the center”?

There have been a long string of Republican presidential candidates who seized the center – and lost elections. Thomas E. Dewey, for examples, seized the center against Harry Truman in 1948. Even though Truman was so unpopular at the outset that the “New Republic” magazine urged him not to run, and polls consistently had Dewey ahead. Truman clearly stood for something… That turned out to be enough to beat Dewey, who simply stood in the center…

It is equally doubtful that most people who voted for Ronald Reagan in his two landslide victories agreed with all this positions. But they agreed with enough of them to put him in the White House to replace Jimmy Carter, who stood in the center, even if it was only a center of confusion.

President Gerald Ford, after narrowly beating off Ronald Reagan … seized the center in the general election – and lost to an initially almost totally unknown governor from Georgia…

More recently, we have seen two more Republican candidates who seized the center – Senators Bob Dole in 1996 and John McCain in 2008 – go down to defeat…

Michael Medved, however, reads history differently. To him, Barry Goldwater got clobbered in the 1964 elections because of his strong conservatism. But did his opponent, Lyndon Johnson, seize the center? Johnson was at least as far to the left as Goldwater was to the right…

Senator Goldwater was not crazy enough to start a nuclear war. But the way he talked sometimes made it seem as if he were. Ronald Reagan would later be elected and reelected taking positions essentially the same as those on which Barry Goldwater lost big time. Reagan was simply a lot better at articulating his beliefs.

Michael Medved uses the 2008 defeat of Tea Party candidates for the Senate, in 3 states where Democrats were Democrats were vulnerable, as another argument against those who do not court the center. But these were candidates whose political ineptness was the problem, not conservativism. Candidates should certainly reach out to a broad electorate. But the question is whether they reach out by promoting their own principles to others or by trying to be all things to all people.

George H. Kubeck, www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, December 27, 2011

P.S. The respected writer Thomas Sowell is supporting Newt Gingrich. I may do likewise. I sent monies first to Michelle Bachmann and then to Herman Cain. Ideally, popular conservative & pro-life governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal would beat Romney in most state primaries. He would set the base on fire.

Merry Christmas*

2011-12-24T15:11:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas*

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 is 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, who first gesture consists in outstretched arms searching for protection. God became a child.

Nowadays we also hear it 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 desire to be such a creature who has to depend a mother, on the sheltering love of humans. He wished to be dependent in order 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 the 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 toward children, but is this 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 would receive him we are to rethink thoroughly our own attitude toward 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.

In Memoriam: The late Illinois Congressman, Henry Hyde, a strong pro-life supporter said: “When the time comes, as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I’ve often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God – and a terror will rip your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there’ll be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world, but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world – and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God, “SPARE HIM, BECAUSE HE LOVED US.”

A Classic and Best Seller "The Broken Path" - 1

A Classic and Best Seller “The Broken Path” – Part 1
The relentless pursuit of the truth – website -cinops be gone – Thursday, December 22, 2011

The purpose in quoting from Chapter 2 [p. 23-24] of Judie Brown’ book, “The Broken Path,” is to persuade the reader that this book is a classic and a perfect Christmas and New Year’s gift. I could not wait till after Christmas. “The Americanism phenomena resulted from what is, in retrospect, the misguided perception of American bishops, led by America’s first Catholic bishop, John Carroll. Even though there was debate among them, history makes it clear that the majority of Catholic bishops wanted to rearrange the Catholic Church in America in a way that would make it more palatable to their Protestant counterparts. Whether they thought they could convert their fellow Americans or not, the approach they took was disastrous.

“Bishop Carroll in particular wanted freedom from the Vatican …, “Bishops may be elected, at this distance from Rome, by a select body of clergy constituting as it were a Cathedral Chapter. Otherwise we shall never be viewed kindly by our government here, and discontent, even amongst our clergy, will break out.”

“In other words, in order for American members of the hierarchy, and thus Catholics as a whole, to be acceptable to the government and the culture, the structure of the Church in America had to be drastically altered. Thank heavens that did not happen, though some would argue that what flowed from it is even worse than creating a separate electoral college for American bishops.

“Historians have hotly debated the extent to which these first American Catholic leaders fostered the attitude that has become quintessential Americanism. Be that as it may, it is to this day what plagues Catholicism in America. Anyone who studies the situation in those early days realizes that the Catholic hierarchy really believed that, to be a Catholic is America, a person must first be an American.

“Brankin opines, “Many of the bishops actually thought that if we played it carefully – and didn’t push our religion too much – we might even convert the country to Catholicism – never mind that we just emptied it of any content. This is where Leo XIII come in because in his encyclical [Testem Benevolentiae] – which is actually very peaceful in tone – he sees this attitude as a dangerous heresy that he calls “Americanism.” He defines it as the misbegotten hope that Catholics could shape Church teachings in accord with the spirit of the age and the nation. He warns that making concessions to the reigning culture and remaining silent on contentious points for the sake of patriotism is dishonest. He was convinced that the American bishops were doing just that – and he forbade them “to suppress for any reason any doctrine that has been handed down.”

“Leo highlights the particularly Americanist habits of …”confounding … license with liberty, the passion for discussing and pouring contempt upon any possible subject, the assumed right to hold whatever opinions one pleases upon any subject and to set forth in print to the world.” Pope Leo warns the bishops that these habits wrap our minds in a sort of darkness and convince us that our free speech is somehow consecrated by the Holy Spirit who is now pouring richer and more abundant graces into our American souls than into anyone else.

“It wouldn’t be long before Americans would begin to believe that with this superabundance of grace, American opinions and decisions – and very lives – would be truer and more authentic than those of the rest of humanity. Leo worries that such a super-inspired citizenry puffed up by its exalted opinion of itself would eschew the need for guidance either of history or the Church – being eminently capable of discussing its way to truth. They would no longer see the need for supernatural virtues and counsels of “poverty, chastity and obedience” because those are passive virtues while what they would claim … the world really needs is the dynamism of active virtues – and those, of course, are so abundant in America.”…

Judie Brown's New Book*

Judie Brown’s New Book*
The relentless pursuit of the truth – website - cinops be gone – Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2011

The title of the book is “the Broken Path”- How Catholic Bishops got lost in the Weeds of American Politics, with a foreword by Bishop Rene H. Gracida, Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi, Texas. It is a must read for all Catholic and Protestant leaders in pro-life, pro-marriage and pro-family. I have only read the Introduction and Chapter 1 and will report on the book after Christmas.

Please purchase this informative book and make it a best seller, for the sake of authentic Catholic identity and integrity. I will buy copies and sell it to others at cost. ($14.95 plus S.H.) It is a truth seeking book which will inspire other writers to elaborate and will help directly and indirectly remove Catholic-in-name-only politicians (CINOP) from American politics. This is my analysis of Weeds in the book’s title. It is possible that some Catholic bookstore will not carry this book. Ask them to order it. I believe Judie is a registered independent and founder of American Life League. www.all.org

Why Judie wrote this book?

“Over the course of the five years it took me to gather the courage to sit down and actually do this, my husband kept gently nudging me to move forward. I hesitated until one day, during a conversation with him, I realized that I too could be accused of being part of the problem if I failed to come up with a roadmap that guides the way out of the tragic situation confronting Catholics in America today. Mr. Brown, I do thank you. Your love and persistence has paid off. Thanks be to God.”

From the cover of the book, “… a hard-hitting wake-up call to Catholics!” Bishop Rene H. Gracida. The Broken Path is a work of love for the Church: a must read for every Catholic with a desire to return our nation to a righteous path and our society to a culture of life.

Renowned pro-life leader Judie Brown was appointed twice by Pope John Paul II and again by Pope Benedict XVI to Pontifical Academy for Life. In her bold new book, The Broken Path, Brown addresses both the political intrigue in the hierarchy of America’s Catholic Church and challenges faced by modern Catholics in this great nation.

Neither Truth nor The Broken Path is always flattering: contemporary Catholic leaders in the Church worthy of praise are singled out as are others warranting greater scrutiny. But most importantly, Judie Brown shows each of us how we can have a positive impact for the glory of God and the integrity of the Catholic Church.

George H. Kubeck, * Mark your calendar Jan. 5th and 19th from 9-10 AM of each month at McDonald’s Restaurant, corner of Valley View south of Ball Road in Cypress, Ca. We discuss this book and the Testimony of Bishop Lori to the House Committee on Religious Rights. It will always be the first and third THURSDAY OF THE MONTH.

Meditations for the New Year

Meditations for the New Year

I chose some of the thoughts expressed by Mother Assumpta Long O.P. at the Prayer Breakfast in Orange County, California on Wed. Sept. 28, 2011.

Each of us is called to accomplish great things. Walk on the water whenever Christ asks you. We need to circle the wagons around all the Catholics in the world. To fight the power of evil in the world:

Recall the Lord and what he has given us: Sacraments – Sacred Scripture – Tradition – Magisterium: We believe in the Community of Saints. We need to remain Church in our covenant today. To change the culture:

We are never alone surrounded with the Saints. Find shelter in the Community of the Saints. Christians live in the prayers of the Saints: The walls between heaven and earth are like glass.

Contemplation and giving the fruit of your contemplation to others: We are called to be contemplative – called to be Saints.

Focus on 3 things: Joy – Today’s Saint and Martyr Wenceslas was a joyful Saint. Joy flows from knowing God and His Love. G.K. Chesterton said, “Man is no more himself than when joy is part of him.”

When we are gifted with so much love and grace, we are bound to share this with others. St. Thomas Aquinas is usually given credit for the following phrase, “To contemplate and give others the fruits of your contemplation.” Our contemplative nuns pray for us.

The power of prayer: God wants to use our prayers to accomplish great needs in the world. St. Thomas Aquinas, “Our privilege is to serve and love God.” More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Come to be your true self through prayer. Accomplish his will in us. Sometimes words are inadequate. St. Catherine of Sienna was busiest person in the world. She spent three years of prayer in her own room. The God told her to go into the world. Do God’s will! Note her mom had 24 children.

A third way is to study the faith in order to share it with others. How important it is for each of us to be what God wants us to be. No one else can take your placed and it will not be done. The laity can go into areas which we religious cannot go. This is a call to which only you can respond.

“I will have Thyself.” “Only Thyself.” This was St. Thomas Aquinas’ response to Jesus when offered a reward for having written rightly. We are in union with Christ and support each other and Our Church. Profess together! Reclaim our culture for Christ.

Fraternally yours, George H. Kubeck, Respect Life Chairman, Dec. 19, 2011 for January 2012 Bulletin.

IT WAS BY FAITH

2011-12-18T10:49:00.000-08:00

IT WAS BY FAITH
Hebrews 11:1-40 – The Best of the Bible- 365 Most Read Passages – Tyndale House, 1996 – 17th Dec.

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence 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 offering to show that he was a righteous man. And although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us because of his faith.

•It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying – “suddenly he disappeared because God took him.” But before he was taken up, he was approved as pleasing to God. So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

•It was by faith that Noah built an ark to save his family from the flood.

•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. Went without knowing where he was to go.

•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. And so a whole nation came from this one man, Abraham who was too old to have any children – a nation with so many people that, like the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them.

•It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him.

•It was by faith that Isaac blessed his two sons, Jacob and Esau. He had confidence in what God was going to do in the future.

•It was by faith that Jacob, when he was old and dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and bowed in worship as he leaned on his staff.

•It was by faith that Joseph, when he was about to die, confidentially spoke of God’s bringing the people of Israel out of Egypt.

•It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him 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. He chose to share the oppression of God’s…

•It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians followed, they were drowned.

How deep is your commitment to Christ: Two words describe our faith: confidence and certainty… The beginning point of faith is believing in God’s character – he is who he says. The end point is believing in God promises – he will do what he says. We believe that will fulfill his promises even though we don’t see those promises materializing now – this is true faith.

The National Right to Life Committee Report

The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com –
Friday, December 16, 2011

The NRLC website, at http://capwiz.com/nrlc/home/ provides us with information on how our representatives in Congress and in the Senate vote on pro-life issues.

This letter will inform us on how the 12 Democratic Catholic-label politicians voted in the Senate on 3 fundamental bills. In the past these 12 Senators have already voted to remove conscience protection for doctors and health care workers in Obama Health Care Bill. They are also with a political party that promotes and supports same–sex marriage.

Here are the names of the 12 Senators: 1.) Tom Harkin (IA) – 2.) Dick Durbin (IL) – 3.) Mary Landrieu (LA) – 4.) John Kerry (MA) – 5.) Barbara Mikulski (MD) – 6.) Claire McCaskill (MO) - 7.) Robert Menendez (NJ) - 8.) Robert Casey (PA) - 9.) Jack Reed (RI) – 10.) Patrick Leahy (VT) – 11.) Maria Cantwell ((WA) – 12.) Patty Murray.

The above 12 Senators voted against the Repeal of Obamacare law (2-2/2011, Roll Call No. 9. [The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) strongly supported the repeal as explained in a letter sent to the U.S. House members that passed the House on Jan. 19, 2011. Unfortunately, the McConnell motion failed, 47 to 51 (60 votes were required to prevail), on a straight party-line vote.]

The 12 voted against Blocking funding for Obama health care law (4-14-2011, Roll Call No. 59) [The bill was supported by 47 Senators, all Republicans, and opposed by 53 Senators (51 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats).

The 12 voted not to Cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood (4-14-2011, Roll Call No. 60) This bill was supported by National Right to Life. [The bill failed, with 42 senators (all Republicans) voting in support of pro-life, 58 (53 Democrats and 5 Republicans) voting against it.

WE COME NOW TO THE CRUX OF THE ISSUE.

HOW WILL THE ABOVE 12 DEMOCRATIC CATHOLIC-LABEL POLITICIANS VOTE ON “TESTIMONY ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS” BY BISHOP WILLIAM E. LORI TO THE COMMITTEE ON US. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION, OCT. 26, 2011 IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL CATHOLICS ESPECIALLY MEMBERS OF THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AND OTHER CHRISTIANS?

WILL THEY VOTE FOR THE 3 BI-PARTISAN BILLS THAT WILL PROTECT RELIGIOUS RIGHTS? THESE ARE:

1)THE PROTECT LIFE ACT (H.R. 358), - 2.) THE ABORTION NON DISCRIMINATION ACT (H.R. 361

3.) THE RESPECT RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE ACT (H.R. 1179)

I BELIEVE THE ABOVE 12 SENATORS WILL VOTE AGAINST THE ABOVE 3 BILLS THAT WILL PROTECT
RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS. WHAT SHOULD BISHOP WILLIAM E. LORI DO? WHAT SHOULD THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MEMBERS DO? DO WE NEED TO INFORM VOTERS?

Memo to Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, December 15, 2011

Reference: Interview of Rush Limbaugh by Greta Van Sustern on Fox TV- Dec. 14th, 2011

Preface: Stop promoting directly and indirectly the presidential pursuits of Mitt Romney. [I recall sadly that both of you promoted Arnold Schwarzenegger over Tom McClintock in the Republican primary.] We are a center-right nation. The 3 years of the Obama regime has changed America from pro-choice to a pro-life majority. In 2011 more than 60 pro-life measures were passed in many states of America. [Except for California]. Please comment on the Republican establishment’s contempt for pro-life Republican voters and the Tea party members. Can you give us the names of these advisors and Obama idiots? What follows are VERY INCOMPLETE EXCERPTS from the Greta interview.

•We are living under a number of false elite assumptions of Obama: He is brilliant, messianic, nobody but Obama has ever trod on our world. This first Black President was going to unify us. Rush does not subscribe to this conventional wisdom and several others. When the Wall Street Journal asked Rush for a 400 word commentary on this elected President. He had 4 words, “I hope he fails.” Obama’s policies mattered to Rush and Obama has succeeded. For example, there is the massive loss of individual freedom with Obamacare. There is the green energy and global warming fraud. For Rush it’s all about Obama’s destructive policies.

•It would not have been much different with Hillary Clinton. Both are influenced by Sol Alinsky’s community organizing techniques and ideology.

•For Obama the rich are the problem. This is offensive and outrages. Obama has a chip on his shoulder. America is guilty for being who we are an exceptional country which Obama does not believe in. It is freedom and positive self-interest not selfishness that has made America.

•If the elections were held today, any of the Republican candidates would win, except for Ron Paul. Romney can’t crack 30% of the primary voters. 70% want someone else. Primary voter are conservative. Newt is stuck with his praises of FDR and Romney with a 2002 comment that he is not a partisan Republican but a moderate. [Newt is now subject to smear attacks.]

Nobody is going to be flawless. It is not up to the media for them to win or choose our candidate. There is no doubt about the conservative credentials of Bachman, Perry and Sanatorium. Primary voters want a fighting conservative. Profoundly optimistic that we can win. However Rush is concerned about the gimmick of the moderate voter in the campaign

•Newt did help to cut government; balance the budget and get the welfare reform bill passed. Most of the debates were very good. There was well articulated conservatism in the debate, and the real target is Obama and his policies.

•The established media always glows over the democratic candidate and demeans any conservative leader. Sub-prime mortgage is the root of our financial disaster. It’s the government not Wall Street that forced lending institutions to lend monies for homes to people who couldn’t pay the monies back it back…

George H. Kubeck, It will be a smear campaign of a billion dollars with a 2 faced double standard media.

Obama's Culture of Death - Part 2 of 2

2011-12-12T11:52:00.000-08:00

Obama’s Culture of Death – Part 2 of 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, December 12, 2011

This is part 2 of a tough blunt article by Jeffry T. Kuhner. He is the president of the Edmund Burke Institute. He is a historian and an editor-in-chief of Reflections magazine. He is a columnist at The Washington Times. He is also a radio talk show host. You may contact him: jkuhner@edmundburkeinstitute.org (mail to: jkuhner@edmundburkeinstitute.org )

Abortion is liberalism’s genocide. Since Roe v. Wade, nearly 50 million babies have been killed – lives exterminated in the wombs of their mothers. Abortion clinics are the Gulag Archipelago of the modern left – a vast system of death camps underpinning the liberal regime’s secular hedonism. For a Godless society predicated upon consequence-free sex, pregnancy is an unwanted nuisance – and a barrier – that must be eliminated. If lives are destroyed then that is the price of sexual utopia.

This is why liberals adamantly refuse to defund Planned Parenthood. And it is why Mr. Obama staunchly supports the government financing of abortion services. It encodes the pernicious principle that an entire category of people – the unborn – are less than fully human and therefore can be arbitrarily extinguished.

Mr. Obama is rapidly advancing the culture of death – abortion, contraception and homosexual marriage. These are not “boutique” or “fringe” issues, as the mainstream media like to portray the obsessive concerns of the religious right or hard-core Christian evangelicals. Rather they involve the most seminal issue of all: whether America survives as a Judeo-Christian nation.

Without a common moral code and Christina heritage, our nation will splinter into Balkanized factions. There would be no social glue to hold us together any longer. Since the 1960’s, America’s cultural disintegration has accelerated. We have become more secular, more perverse, and, ultimately more decadent.

The modern left understands one fundamental reality. Destroying Christianity destroys the culture and civilization it spawned. They are inextricably linked. This is why socialists, such as Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Saul Alinsky and George Soros have championed militant anti-Christianity, free love, contraception, and abortion. Smash the family and traditional morality and the economic system they gave birth to – capitalism – will come crashing down. This is the Marxist project. Sweep the Christian West into the dustbin of history.

Mr. Obama is a Leninist – a committed revolutionary, who is embarked upon an ambitious project to transform America. He worships statism and secularism – the very antithesis of our Founding Fathers. He has put the United States on the path of civilizational decline and moral ruin. And Obamacare is his Trojan horse.

George H. Kubeck – The whole article is a worthwhile distribution within parishes.

Dangerous Government Intrusion

Dangerous Government Intrusion
The relentless pursuit of the truth- www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, December 11, 2011

Los Angeles (CalCatholic.com) – Writing in the most recent edition of the archdiocesan weekly The Tidings, Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez cited a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision and two bills in the California legislature as examples of governmental actions that undermine healthy families and parental rights.

Under the heading, “We need to stand up for parents and families,” Archbishop Gomez wrote: “There was a time not too long ago, when American society encouraged family values and tried to strengthen the bonds of parents and children. Recent events in our state and nation remind us that’s not always the case anymore.”

“America needs strong families to nurture the values and virtues we need to live as a free and just people,” Wrote Archbishop Gomez. But last week the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that will make it harder for American parents.” “The court’s decision in Brown vs. Entertainment Merchants Association involved in a 2005 California law that banned the sale of violent videogames to minors,” the archbishop continued. “The court said the law violated video-game makers’ rights to freedom of speech.”

“That may be true,” Archbishop Gomez wrote. “However, as a pastor, I found myself more sympathetic to Justice Clarence Thomas’s dissenting opinion.” “Justice Thomas said that America’s founders would find it ‘absurd’ to say that freedom of speech includes ‘a right to speak to minors’ without going through the minors’ parents,” the archbishop explained.

“In his dissent Justice Thomas offers a kind of ‘mini-history’ lesson,” said Archbishop Gomez. “He explains how important the family was in the thinking of America’s founders. He explains how our government has always respected the role of the family and worked to strengthen parents’ authority and rights.” “Unfortunately, trends in our country – and in our state – seem to be moving in the opposite direction,” the archbishop continued.

“Right now there are two bills in the California legislature that our state’s bishop believe represent a dangerous government intrusion into parents’ rights,’ Archbishop Gomez noted. The first Assembly Bill 499, would let children 12 and under decide for themselves to get vaccinations or get other medications to prevent sexually transmitted diseases,” said the Archbishop. “By passing this bill, in effect government would be encouraging young people to engage in activities that are contrary to their parents’ moral values – and to lie about it or keep it secret from their parents,” wrote Archbishop Gomez. [The 2 bills were promoted and signed by the governor.]

“A second bill, Senate Bill 48, would require school textbooks to teach about the sexual orientations of figures in American history,” the archbishop wrote. “This amounts to the government rewriting history books. It is also another example of the government interfering with parents rights to be their children’s primary educators.” He concluded: “As we pray for another this week, let us commit ourselves to promoting the God-given rights of parents and families in California and in our nation. Let us work to become a people who no longer resort to abortion, birth control, in vito fertilization, and divorce. Let us build a future for our nation in which children grow up in families based on God’s law and natural law. And let us ask Mary the Queen of the Family, to help us with the grace we need to stand up for parents and the family in our day.”

George H.Kubeck, Laws are passed by Calif. politicians. Please start a petition mailed to ‘Gov. Brown’ and ‘Lt. Gov. Newsom’. Do not use the Catholic label when you run for office. You are lying to the public when you do so. Gov. Jerry Brown, c/o State Capitol, Suite 1173, Sacramento, Ca. 95814 - (916)445-2841 – fax (916) 558-3160

Obama's Culture of Death - Part 1 of 2

2011-12-10T13:40:00.000-08:00

Obama’s Culture of Death Part 1 of 2
The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, December 10, 2011

This is a classic and the stark truth. Jeffrey T. Kuhner is a columnist at “The Washington Times” and president of the “Edmund Burke Institute”. The editorial first appeared in the “The Washington Times.” [It was posted in The Wanderer – www.thewandererpress.com – August 4, 2011]

“President Obama is on the verge of achieving his liberal revolution. His goal is to destroy our Judeo-Christian culture and replace it with European-style radical secularism.

“The administration is now contemplating forcing health insurance companies to provide free birth control – including the “morning-after” pill – as part of Obamacare. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is seriously considering adding contraception to the list of services that must be fully covered by insurers without charging copayments. [As of today Obama has done this.]

“Obamacare is predicated upon massive tax increases to finance universal coverage. It is more than an unsustainable multi-trillion dollar entitlement program – it is an assault upon traditional America. This proposal panders to the feminist lobby, especially Planned Parenthood – the nation’s largest provider of “family planning” and abortion services. Free birth control has nothing to do with “protecting women’s health.” Rather it is about consolidating the sexual revolution. The post-1960s left has been at war with Christianity. Its aim is to erect a utopian socialist state – one built upon the rubble of Judeo-Christian civilization.

“In short, liberals want to create a world without God and sexual permissiveness is their battering ram. Promoting widespread contraception is essential to forging a pagan society based on consequences-free sex.

“The proposal is profoundly immoral. Contraception violates the natural moral order. It decouples sexual intercourse from its main purpose: procreation. It entrenches the hedonistic ethic that sex is about recreation and individual gratification… This is why practically every major religion and most cultures have rightly believed that birth control, pornography, homosexuality, and adultery are wrong.

“They threaten the basic institution of society: the traditional family. The family existed before the state; its importance transcends the state. Hence, our ancestors understood that moral standards must be upheld, not demolished. The breakdown of the family inevitably leads to social collapse.

“Moreover, subsidizing free birth control violates the conscience rights of devout Christian, Orthodox Jews, and Muslims. It compels them to have their hard-earned taxpayer dollars towards go funding behavior that their religious faith condemns as sinful and an abomination – especially, the “morning –after” pill, whose us is a possible form of abortion since it may terminate a conceived child. By adopting the proposal, Obamacare would not only assault the fundamental freedoms of religious Americans, it would make them complicit in Mr. Obama’s cultural liberalism…”

# 4 of 5 -A Critical Analysis of Just/Faith
The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Friday, Dec. 9, 2011

[Memo to Justice/Faith Ministry: For Catholics to read and study the writings of Jim Wallis, Bill Ayers, and Saul Alinsky on matters relating to Catholic Social Justice is like working with the ACLU on the First Amendment to our Constitution in pursuit of authentic religious freedom and rights.]

We continue with the classic article by William A. Borst in Mindszenty Report – V. LIII-No. II.

“The articles selected for Cloud of Witnesses support the standard socialist causes and includes many left wing Catholic peace activists and dissenters as well as a Masonic veterans group. The book contains a policy statement in favor of recognition and legal protection for homosexuals, including gay marriage, and articles favor the ordination of women. Cloud serves as an introduction to liberation theology, which the Church has refuted, beginning with Pope Pius XI’s 1937 “Divini Redemptoris” and continuing with every pope since then.

“The Common Good for All: Questions about social justice invariably lead to the issue of socialism in the Church. The first known usage of the term social justice derived from a 19th century priest, Luigi Taparelli D’Azeglio, whose sociology of politics attempted to recover the ancient virtue of what had been called general justice in Aristotle & Thomas Aquinas, but in a new contemporary form.

“The idea of social justice evolved into the notion of the common good which became an integral part of traditional Catholic social teaching. Pope Leo XIII relied on it when he issued his encyclical Rerum Novarum in 1891, for the purpose of combating the excesses of both laissez-faire capitalism and atheistic communism.

“But Pope Leo was not a socialist. He did not equate social justice with a false kind of guaranteed economic equality. He believed that inequality was the natural state of a society because people’s skills are unequal. In Rerum, the pope underscored the inherent right to private property while insisting on the role of the state in requiring a living wage.

"The pope considered the means of production to be both private property requiring state protection and a dimension of the common good requiring state regulation. He clearly understood that in the hands of the government, private property is always at high risk.

“The Tender Road to Death: Since the early 20th century, the progressive left has boldly adapted the history and the rhetoric of social justice and the common good to the detriment, not only of the Church, but also the country. Most Catholics have nothing more than a generic understanding of the term, social justice, which seems to have replaced sin in the dogmatic lexicon. It is promoted from the pulpit as an unexplained given that should not be questioned or discussed. This new understanding recognizes the government as an agent of social justice and unabashed purveyor of the redistribution of a nation’s wealth and resources…”

Honest journalism is dead. It has been politicized and agenda driven. It promotes the culture of death and undermines conservative, traditional values, and historic American principles. How do you deal with this two-faced, double standard mainstream news media?

Let’s check out alternative news, and why they entered the news business! - WorldNet Daily Exclusive “Do you remember why 69 million Americans voted for Obama?” Mon., Dec. 5, 2011

“These are times that try men’s souls” Thomas Paine

“For while everything good, decent and generous about America tends to assert itself at Christmastime, we continue to witness outrage after outrage in Washington, D.C., as a disgraced and repudiated administration continues in its attempt to transform America into something that would horrify Thomas Paine and the other Founding Fathers.

“May people have analyzed, pontificated and written books about how we got to such a low point, but please allow me to remind you of what is undoubtedly the No. 1 reason America is today writhing under the “leadership” of the most destructive and dangerous president in history…

“It’s because he had an advantage no other presidential candidate has ever had – the total, unabashed support of the “mainstream media,” which was so enchanted by the prospect of a young, eloquent, cool, liberal – and for the first time in history, black – president, that they ignored his anti-American, Marxist, Islamic and criminal associations and his unbelievable subservice track record. Instead of vetting him as was their solemn duty, the media lifted him high overhead and giddily race across the finish line, all the while reassuring Americans Obama would be a great, “historic” and “transformative” president.

“As if to assuage their guilt, immediately after Election Day, when it no longer mattered, Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell publicly admitted the paper’s reporters and editors had utterly neglected to vet either Obama, who “deserved tougher scrutiny,” or Biden – an omission she referred to as “one gaping hole in [Post] coverage.”

“But the problem with journalism today is not just “gaping holes in coverage” and temporary abdication of professional journalism standards. Our “big media” have come increasingly to resemble the state-run we see in China, with its gigantic Xinhua “New” Agency, in reality a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party…

"Here’s the problem: YOU CANNOT HAVE A FREE COUNTRY WITHOUT A FREE PRESS. Yet America’s “big media” today – especially the national broadcast and cable TV news (except perhaps Fox) as well as the major trendsetting newspapers like the New York Times – have devolved into a DE FACT0 GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA MINISTRY..."

Obama’s Class Warfare: Big Business and Workers
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Gary Bauer is the author of this insightful article worthy of your attention. Human Events: 12/5/11.

“The headlines tell us that unemployment rate in November fell to 8.6%, it is the lowest level in more than ten years. But, as with much in the Age of Obama, the devil is in the details. The primary reason for the drop is that more than 300,000 Americans ceased looking for work last month – more than twice the number who actually got jobs…

“Last week, Leon Cooperman, CEO of Omega Advisors, a hedge fund, sent Obama a blistering open letter, criticizing the President’s “desperate demagoguery” against job creators. “Capitalism is not the source of our problems, as an economy or as a society,” Cooperman wrote reminding Obama:

“As a group, [capitalists] employ many millions of taxpaying people, pay their salaries, provide them with health care coverage, start new companies, found new industries, create new products, fill shelves at Christmas, and keep the wheels of commerce and progress (and indeed of government, by generating the income whose taxation funds it) moving.”

“To frame the debate as one of rich-and-entitled versus poor-and-dispossessed,” Cooperman continued, “is to both miss the point and further inflame an already incendiary environment. It is also a naked, political pander to some of the of the basest human emotions – strategy, as history teaches, that never ends well for anyone but totalitarians and anarchists.”…

“Six months ago Bill Looman, CEO of U.S. Cranes, recently posted signs on his company’s trucks stating, “New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.”… Facebook pictures of the signs went viral, prompting a visit from the Secret Service, which interviewed Looman as a possible security threat to the President. Welcome to Obama World, where intimidation of the President’s critics is becoming commonplace…

“Cooperman and Looman are hardly alone. Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus lambasted Obama in July, saying that “Home Depot would never have succeeded if we’d tried to start it today. Every day you see rules and regulations from a group of Washington bureaucrats who know nothing about running a business.” Whole Foods CEO John McKay has said, “It was a lot easier for me to start my business 30 years ago than it is for an entrepreneur starting out today to do the same thing…

“Democrats apparently are under no illusions about who will ultimately pay the price for their job-stifling policies. Preparation by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party WILL EXPLICITLY ABANDON THE WHITE WORKING CLASS, the “New York Times’ Thomas Edsall wrote last week.

"All pretense of trying to win the majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned…It’s been years since Democrats have fared well among white working-class voters. Obama lost them in 2008, and he didn’t help himself by infamously referring to Middle Americans as clinging bitterly to guns, xenophobia and religion. The Democrats lost these voters by 30 percentage points in the 2010 midterm elections …”

George H. Kubeck - Obama’s hope and unity of 2008 will be replaced by European class warfare, divisions, smears & demonizing of opponents with a campaign of a billion dollars & the mainstream media for him.

Persecutions of Christians: Islam: London

Persecution of Christians: Islam: London
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2011

Associated Press – Oct. 10, 2011 – “Christians under siege in post-revolution Egypt” MY beef is with the almost total silence by Catholic leaders in North America with what is happening to their fellow Catholic Christians in the Muslim world. They seem to be blind, tone deaf and don’t care.

“At Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the revolution against Mubarak, there were glimpses of a fleeting utopia where coexistence and mutual respect between Muslims and Christians was the rule. The iconic image of Christians forming a human shield around Muslim worshippers during Friday prayer to protect them from thugs and pro-Mubarak loyalists spoke volumes to the dream.

“But shortly after Mubarak’s ouster, a series of assaults on Christians brought home at stark reality: The fading of authoritarian rule empowered Islamist fundamentalists, Known as Salafis, who have special resentment for Christians.

“While the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood has long been Egypt’s best organized opposition movement, the Salafis are a new player in politics. They are ultraconservatives, close to Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabi interpretation of Islam and more radical than the Brotherhood…

“The Salafis persistently accuse the Copts of trying to spread Christianity in a Muslim nation, echoing Wahhabism’s deep distrust and hostility of other religions…

“On Feb. 23, less than two weeks after Mubarak’s ouster, a priest was found dead with several stab wounds and witnesses say masked men shouting Allahu-Akbar (God is great) were seen living his apartment. The incident triggered protests in the southern city of Assiut where Christians scuffled with Muslims…

“Not long after in March, a Muslim-Christians love affair led a Muslim mob to torch a church in Soul village to the south of Cairo and set it on fire. When Christians held a protest denouncing the attack on the church, they were attacked by Muslim mob wielding guns, knives and clubs. When it was done, 13 were dead and 140 injured… Then in May, Islamic ultraconservatives burned a church in the working-class district of Imbaba in Cairo and clashed with Christians leaving 12 dead…"

The words on the signs in the pictures of a minority of Muslims in England in a recent “Religion of Peace Demonstrations” are shocking. These pictures not shown on American TV or in American Newspapers were forwarded by a Canadian friend who thought Americans ought to know! Remember this is the minority protest.

The Mindset within the Obama Regime
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, Dec. 6th, 2011

To be well informed of what is going on in America, the daily e-mails from Family Research Council are excellent. Here is one dated, Dec. 2, 2011 titled, Genesis of the Bible’s Exodus from Troop Hospitals.

“The soldiers who wake up in Walter Reed Medical Center are in Maryland – not communist China. But under the Navy’s new rules, they may not know the difference! After months of peeling away the military’s core values, Obama’s army is on the move.

“And this time it has a high-value target: the Bible. In a memo obtained by FRC, Navy officials have announced that “no religious items (including Bibles, reading materials, and/artifacts) are allowed to be given or used during a visit.” The new orders are buried in four-page document about patient care, which an Army officer forwarded to us in disbelief. Effect immediately, families, friends, and even pastors will have to check their beliefs at the door to visit one of the largest military hospitals in the United States.

“Last night, after we circulated the memo to leaders on the Hill, an outraged Steve King (R-Iowa) took to the House floor and blasted the policy. “Mr. Speaker, these military men and women who are recovering at Walter Reed and Bethesda have given their all to America … They’ve defended and taken an oath to the Constitution, and here they arr. The people that come to visit them can’t bring a religious artifact? They can’t bring a Bible? … A priest can’t walk in with the Eucharist and offer communion to patient who might be on their deathbed because it’s prohibited in this memo from the Department of the Navy?”

“This is Obama’s military, where homosexuality is celebrated and Christianity is censored; and Bibles are banned; where same-sex weddings are encouraged but international charity is not. After three years of ideological warfare, the administration intent is clear: to disarm the military of its biggest weapon. Faith…

[Now for another topic]

“It was a grueling three hours for officials at Health and Human Services (HHS), but Rep. (R-Calif.) certainly got his point across. Yesterday, in a packed room, House leaders pounced on the Obama administration for its religious bias in government outreach.

At the heart of the discussion was HHS’s decision to cut off funding for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USSCB) program for sex trafficking victims. Despite scoring the second highest in HHS’ own evaluation process, political appointees refused to renew USCCB’s contract, and sources inside the agency say the group’s pro-life’s beliefs – not its program delivery – were to blame… Another friend of FRC, Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY), explained how traumatizing it would be to push abortion on women who are suffering physically and emotionally. While the matter is far from over, we congratulate Chairman Issa and others for taking time to spotlight the corruption at HHS…”

A Critical Analysis of Just/Faith - Part 3 of 5

A Critical Analysis of Just/Faith – Part 3 of 4 or 5
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, December 5, 2011

We continue to read from the Nov. 2011 issue titled, “Blowin’ in the Wind” – Just/Faith and the Socialist Indoctrination of the Church. Thanks to William A. Borst, Ph.D. – BBPROF@sbcglobal.net this is one of many outstanding monthly reports from the “Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation.”

Just Trouble: (cont’d) despite its growing popularity, Just/Faith has unleashed a legion of critics who point out that Jezreel’s program is nothing but a platform for an ultra left wing social, political, and economic agenda that is NOT consistent with traditional Catholic social teaching. The trouble with the JustFaith Ministries is that it is not about either justice or faith but about power. As Walter Rauschenbusch said in the late 19th century, religion is just a means to get, not justice but socialism, which is a demonic attempt to corral the world’s masses into a single unit that will be forced to march to its secular drummer.

JustFaith reduces Catholicism to an unofficial set of economic and political solutions to the gamut of social problems that afflict this country. It overemphasizes aspects of Catholic social teaching or takes them out of context to the point that they become easy fodder for their secular political and economic agenda.

The JustFaith syllabus contains grave doctrinal errors, regarding the ordination of women and other questions on the divinity of Christ. Its facilitators have been known to reject personal salvation and sin in favor of collective salvation and social sins, such as poverty and racism. These attitudes are detrimental to the faith and salvation of individual Catholics. No matter how great their commitment to social justice, dissenting opinions such as these can only confuse Catholics as to what their Church actually teaches.

JustFaith’s dogmatic waters are muddled even further through its public affiliations. In 2005 it announced a partnership with The Catholic Campaign for Human Development to promote and support parish and diocesan involvement in the JustFaith program. While JustFaith is purportedly dedicated to justice, it fails to publicly that it supports the injustice of abortion. Call to Action also disseminates a liberationist approach, which is not a Catholic position on social justice. It also works in the partnership with many other controversial Catholic social groups, such as Bread for the World, the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, and Pax Christi.

A Cloud of Theology: Similarly, JustFaith’s reading is riven with dissenting writers, whose distortions of Scripture & Catholic teaching stress more the divisive needs to reveal class antagonisms & to restructure society along Marxist lines.

JustFaith enthusiastically recommends Selected Readings in Liberation Theology by Gustavo Gutierrez. Dennis A. Jacobsen’s Doing Justice is an introductory Theology of congregation-based community organizing based on Jacobsen’s many years of personal experience in urban ministries. He designed his book to be used by church leaders, congregations and ministerial students to help- America are poor, disadvantaged, and disenfranchised. Ironically Jacobsen’s strategies rely heavily on atheistic Saul Alinsky’s rule of disruption to weave his activist’s handbook for urban social justice.

The Cloud of Witnesses by evangelical minister Jim Wallis is the most revealing on Jezreel’s reading list. The articles and interviews were adapted from material published in Wallis’ pacifist Sojourners Magazine. Wallis also promotes the New Sanctuary Movement for illegal immigrants in America through the Faith in Public Life network of spiritual progressives, many of whom advocate abortion and homosexual marriage…

The Meaning of Advent*

2011-12-04T10:00:00.000-08:00

THE MEANING OF ADVENT*
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, Dec. 4, 2011

Pope Benedict XVI speaks his mind:

1)Advent – what does it mean? Advent is a Latin word that can be rendered in English as “presence, arrival”. In the language of the ancient world it was a technical term expressing the arrival of an official, especially the arrival of kings or emperors in the provinces. It could, however equally denote the arrival of the deity who appears out of concealment and powerfully manifests his presence or whose presence was celebrated in cultic ritual. The Christians adopted this term to proclaim their special relationship to Jesus Christ…”God is here.” He has not abandoned this world. He has not left us behind alone. Even though we cannot see and touch him like so many things – he is present, nevertheless, and visits us in many ways… His presence has already begun, and we, the believers, are the one through whom he desires to be present in the world.

2)Saint Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome: “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 sleep!... The nocturnal orgy of an image of a world gone wrong – are we not compelled to realize, with dismay, how accurately Saint 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…

3)Advent is also a reality for the Church. God did not divide history into two halves, one bright and the other dark. He did not separate men into those he has redeemed and those he has forgotten. There is but one indivisible history, which as a whole is marked by man’s weakness and wretchedness and which as a whole stands under God’s merciful love that incessantly envelops and sustains history. Our century compels us to learn anew the truth of Advent: the truth, namely, that Advent always has been and yet still is; that all mankind is one in God’ eyes; that all mankind stands in darkness; and yet that all mankind is also illuminated by God’ s light.

4)Advent is not mere remembrance and representation of something of the past, but that Advent means this present time, this our present reality: the Church here does not indulge in play but refers us to something that represents the truth about our Christian existence.

Secular Left's Intolerance of Religious Freedom*

Secular Left’s Intolerance of Religious Freedom*
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, December 3, 2011

“With Advent underway, get ready for the annual debate over whether stores should say, Merry Christmas” (offensive to non-Christians, critics say) or “Season’s greetings (a capitulation to political correctness, many Christians say)…

“Social liberals claim they promote tolerance, preventing oppressive Christian conservatives from “imposing their morality” on everyone. But the state of the culture war in America today is almost the opposite. The secular Left is using the might of government to make it harder for religious people to live their own lives according to their faith.

“Nancy Pelosi, who regularly loudly declares herself a faithful Catholic, last week belittled the Catholic hospitals: “They have this conscience thing,” she sneered about the hospitals that want to be free not to abort unborn babies. How ironic that Pelosi and like-minded liberals call themselves “pro-choice.”

“Newt Gingrich put it well in the recent Thanksgiving Family Forum in Iowa: “If you look at the history from the mid-1960s, we’ve gone from a request for toleration to an imposition of intolerance. We’ve gone from a quest to understand others to a determination to close down those who hold traditional values…

“… Department Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued a rule outlawing any new insurance plan that doesn’t fully cover the cost of all contraception, including “morning-after” pills that can also cause abortions. The rule included a conscience exemption for “religious employers,” but it defined “religious” so narrowly that it applies to virtually no one…

“Belmont Abbey College is a Catholic college in North Carolina that was founded by Benedictine monks. In all likelihood, the “religious employer” exemption won’t protect Belmont Abbey, and the school will be forced to buy contraceptives for its students, in violation of the Church’s teaching.

"College President Bill Thierfelder wrote in a memo, “As a college, we find our center in Jesus Christ Not only in our teaching, but also in our actions. Our policies must mirror our beliefs – we simply cannot do what we believe is morally wrong. We are not imposing our beliefs upon anyone else. We respect the constitutional right of faiths to freely exercise their religion. We simply want that constitutional right given to us as well.”…

"In a legal complaint in the District federal court, the college contends that Sebelius’s free-pill-for-all mandate is simple persecution: “Had Belmont Abbey College’s religious beliefs been obscure or unknown, the government’s actions might have been an accident,” the complaint allows. “But because the government acted with full knowledge of those beliefs, and because it allows plans not to cover these services for a wide range of reason other than religion, the Mandate can be interpreted as nothing other than a deliberate attack by the government on the religious beliefs of Belmont College and millions of other Americans.”

The Obama administration is deliberately making it illegal for Catholics to live as Catholics. This is the standard fare from today’s Left…”

Archbishop Gomez and the CINOP
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, December 1, 2011

Poignant excerpts from the Address of the Most Rev. Jose H. Gomez on May 14, 2011 at the Thomas Aquinas College Graduates held its 37th annual Commencement exercises. www.thomasaquinas.edu

“We have eliminated God from all the processes by which we seek knowledge about ourselves and about our world. God is no longer a factor in our methods. Hence, God is nowhere to be found among our conclusions.

“This fact has profound implications for the world you are entering into, my dear young brothers and sisters. You are entering into a culture in America and in the West that is increasingly secularized and “de-Christianized.” “Powerful interests* have been at work for decades now, seeking to erase the influence – and even the memory – of Western civilization’s Christian roots. God has been eclipsed not only in science, but also in our laws and public policies, in our arts and literature, in our schools and media.

“The goal, advocates of this effort say, is to get to a “post-Christian society.”

“They imagine a beautiful world, liberated from depending on God or superstitious or “magical” thinking. They imagine a society governed by reason and technology, dedicated to individual freedom and the pursuit of material comfort…

“Now, I believe this “goal” of a secular, post-Christian society is a seductive illusions and a trap. But that is the subject for another talk at another time.

This afternoon, I just want to point out that this mindset will be a challenge to you, dear graduates. But it forms the territory of your Christian witness and mission. This is the environment in which you are called to proclaim Christ as His disciples…”

At this point let’s access the blog letter, “Overview of Bishop Lori’s Testimony on Religious Liberty”, Thursday, Nov. 3, 2011. We must overcome the deathly silence on and about Catholic-label politicians who are voting against the three bi-partisan Congressional laws that will protect our religious liberty and conscience clause in the public sector. For example, in the Senate I recall about 12 Catholic label politicians voted against conscience protection in the Obama Health Care Law.

Now this blog focuses only on the Catholic-label politicians. But there are many Catholic-label persons who attend Church and are for partial-birth abortion or same-sex marriage or embryonic stem-cell research etc. The bishops and other religious know who they are in the community. In the name of “The Catechism of the Catholic Church” and co-religious fraternity; we belong to the same Catholic Church, cannot these persons be persuaded to talk to the CINOP to vote for these three laws. This is a most serious matter. Otherwise it will be a tragedy for the Church and our country!

George H. Kubeck,

P.S. *Who are these powerful interests? Let me personally speculate. 1) The ACLU which Bill O’Reilly of Fox News considers the most dangerous organization in the U.S.A. 2) Large misguided Corporations like Home Depot that financially supports the Homosexual Agenda. 3) The filthy rich and selected philanthropy monies going to organization that have a false interpretation of the 1st Amendment and the Separation of Church and State. Etc.

ACLU's Separation of Church and State

2011-11-29T13:23:00.000-08:00

ACLU’s Separation of Church and State
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Why should we accept the ACLU’s interpretation of the First Amendment to the Constitution? IT IS FALSE ONE. Here is the read to the 1st Amendment. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievance.” May I share Matthew D. Staver’s book, “Take Back America” – 2000-2011 – Chapter 3

Separation of Church and State: “This country was established upon the assumption that religion was essential to good government. On July 13, 1787, the Continental Congress enacted the Northwest Ordinance, which stated: ‘Religion, morality and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall be forever encourages.’ The First Amendment prohibited the federal amendment from establishing a religion to which the several states must pay homage. The 1st Amendment provided assurance that the federal government would not meddle in the affairs or religion within the states…”

“Today, groups like the America Civil Liberals Union (ACLU) and Americans United for Separation of Church and State have attempted to create an environment wherein government and religion are adversaries. Their favorite phrase has been “separation of church and state.”… Most people believe the phrase is in the Constitution. Nowhere is “separation of church and state” referenced in the Constitution. This phrase was in the former Soviet Union’s Constitution…”

Jefferson … wrote: “On every question of construction, [we must] carry ourselves back to the time when the constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the test, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was a part.”…

“The Danbury Baptist Association committee wrote to the President stating, “Religion is at all times and places a Matter between God and Individuals – that no man ought to suffer in Name, person or affects on account of his religious Opinions.” Jefferson’s response letter went through at least two drafts:”

“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that legitimate powers of government reach actions only and not options, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; thus building a wall of separation between church and state. Congress thus inhibited from acts respecting religion, and the Executive authorized only to execute their acts, I have refrained from prescribing even occasional performances of devotion…”

“So what did Jefferson mean when he used the “wall” metaphor? Jefferson undoubtedly meant that the First Amendment prohibited the federal Congress from enacting any law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof… Jefferson believed that the Constitution created a limited government & that the states retained the authority over matters of religion not only through the 1st & also 10th Amendment.”

“The First Amendment clearly erected a barrier between the federal government and religion on a state level. If the state chose to have no religion or to have an established religion, the federal government has no jurisdiction one way or the other. This is what Jefferson meant by the “wall of separation.” In context, the word “state” really referred to the federal government. The 1st Amendment did not apply to the states.”…

In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, November 28, 2011

The so-called Catholic vote usually produces a winner in presidential elections. The exception was in the year 2000 when a majority of Catholics in the country voted for Al Gore. However, thankfully a majority of Catholics in the state of Florida voted for George Bush. In 2008 the Catholic vote for Obama was 54%. If the President received 50% of the vote in 2012, he will be reelected. There is an interesting article in Insight Scoop: The Ignatius Press Blog – Fri. Nov. 18, 2011 – Michael Gerson thinks Obama’s ‘Catholic strategy is in shambles:’ I (Carl Olson) thinks he’s wrong.

Michael Gerson: “Now the conscience protections of Catholics are under assault, particularly by the Department of Health and Human Services. And Obama’s Catholic strategy is in shambles… Sebelius is becoming a political embarrassment at an inconvenient time. It will be significantly harder for Obama to repeat his appeal to Catholic voters while a part of his administration is at war with Catholic leaders and Catholic belief…”

Carl Olson: “Although not a Catholic, he (Obama) saw he could take up and tweak the playbook employed so successfully by the late Ted Kennedy and other “pro-choice Catholics”, who use the language of “social justice” and “choice” and “freedoms” and “privacy” to deflect from his core stances, which added up to the most pro-abortion platform ever held by a presidential candidate… Obama used and employed Catholics … Douglas Kmiec, who assured Catholics that Obama was almost as Catholic as the Pope, and Fr. Thomas Reese, who gave cover to Pres. Obama prior to 2009 visit to Notre Dame, come to mind. Toss in the entire staff of National Catholic Reporter for good measure.

Comments to Carl’s article: 1) Candidate Obama knew – and this is essential – that he could not win over serious, practicing, orthodox Catholics, but he also didn’t care, because he knew the majority of Catholics in the U.S. are not serious, practicing, orthodox Catholics. 2) The actual long-term “Catholic strategy” of this administration is to undermine and dismantle the witness and work of the Catholic Church.

3) And Obama has a lot of support for that by many self-hating Catholics, who own strategy is likewise to undermine and dismantle the witness and work of the actual Catholic Church and to reconstruct a church of their own making (just go over and read Commonweal, etc., where everything the Church (bishops, etc.) is bad and Obama is a better Catholic than they are.)

4) I doubt Obama even thinks in terms of “orthodox” Catholics… He seems himself as liberator, conservatives as trying to conserve ideas that keep “his people” down. Think of his radical white college prof mother. Mix in a late in life embrace of his black maleness, a dash of Jeremiah’s Wright, and that tells you all you need to know. For religion, think Katharine Jefferts Schori or Sister Joan C, with Biden think of Fr. James Martin after teaching at Georgetown for ten years. 5) This is an excellent analysis. You have hit the nail on the head. I think that the best thing that can happen to the Catholic Church in America will be for the Catholic Church to lose it’s free tax status. That would free up priests and bishops to preach real Catholic doctrine from the pulpit.

6) Sad to say, but this writer has it absolutely correct. The only thing he overlooks is the active involvement of so many ‘Catholic’ clergy (our own Jesuit pastor and his guest celebrants from Holy Cross) that preach Obamamism, the majority episcopate, who align themselves with &support pro-abortion “Catholics” like Shaheen, Pelosi, Biden … leftist priests who preach class-envy, racial hatred and socialism/Marxism- Chicago…"

JUST/FAITH - A CRITICAL ANALYSIS - PART 2 OF 4 OR 5

Just/Faith – A Critical Analysis – Part 2 of 4 or 5
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011

“JustFaith sees many prominent social problems such as poverty, race, planetary care, war, and the death penalty through the lens of the Catholic faith. Its rhetoric sounds like something adapted from a Marxist handbook as its process groups meet weekly to discuss their textbooks, videos, listen to guest lectures and participate in active discussions of all aspects of the faith, especially those regarding the poor. Many faithful Catholics seem to have missed the point that JustFaith’s appeal to social justice is little more than an infusion of progressive social solutions and the political networking.

“In an interview in the St. Louis Review, Pat Dougherty of Catholic Charities was ecstatic about the new program, which he saw as a fascinating journey where he encountered the Gospel understanding of the wonderful rich Catholic tradition we have on social justice. With robotic precision, he boasted that JustFaith had challenged him to look and think about things differently and change the way he lived.

“Unsurprisingly, JustFaith has spread like wildflower to over three hundred areas in the U.S. with the tacit support of a growing number of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, many of whom were active in the civil rights movement in the 1960’s. Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan of Santa Fe made a spirited defense of the justifiable beleaguered “Catholic Campaign for Human Development” (CCHD) in his column in the archdiocese’s April 2010 issue of its monthly newspaper People of God.

“In the Valley of Jezreel: Jack Jezreel is the founder and director of JustFaith, which began in Louisville, Kentucky in 1989. From a biblical standpoint, Jezreel is a fascinating name. The Valley of Jezreel was where King Jehu had the apostate Queen Jezebel slain (2 Kings 9:1-10). It is also purported location of the Battle of Armageddon at the end of time.

“A professed Catholic who holds a master’s of divinity degree from Notre Dame University, Jesreel tells his interfaith audiences that he feels a special kinship with those committed to the poor and vulnerable, regardless of their religious background. His ecumenical notion of spirituality includes a dismissal of doctrinal truth in favor of common dedication to social work. Jezreel vaguely describes his goals as making the world a more hospital place and ending the cycle of failure for people of good will.

“Jezreel’s first principles is to establish a lasting relationship with the poor, rather than just writing a check or pulling a “celebrity parachute jump” into impoverished areas to dole out food for a day or two. He cites the lives of “saintly” people like Dorothy Day to illustrate his social message. Sounding more like a born-again Barack Obama, Jezreel sees the importance of building lasting change through community. JustFaith is his way to radically transform parishes, with all parishioners’ goods being held in what he called shared economics.

"He believes that the biggest obstacle to bringing justice to America is segregation of the poor, the oppressed, the exploited, and neglected from the well off. He sees America’s cities like little apartheids, leading the wealthy into a dangerous illusion of security & the poor into hopelessness. What Jezreel fails to mention is that this is usually the fault of liberal politicians who have controlled most major cities since the dawning of the Progressive era...

I had for more than a decade in the 1980’s distributed a Weekly Consumer Buyline in Long Beach. It taught all including the poor how to fish and shop for best buys and get out of poverty. I believe that poverty is something temporary in America. We are not to be enablers for poverty in one family from generation to generation.

3 Cheers for Communist Van Jones

3 Cheers for Communist Van Jones
The relentless pursuit of the truth - www.cinopsbegone.com - Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011

A Communist a is master of deceit. I lived during the Cold War with Communist Russia. In North America, we had numerous Commie front organizations. Their members were called “useful idiots.” Today, we have the “useful idiots” for the Obama regime.

But wait, let’s have the progressive liberal TIME magazine share the good news in the Nov. 21st article, “The Return of the Rabble Rouser” - Under fire, Van Jones resigned the Obama Administration. But, he’s found a new cause: rallying liberal groups on behalf of the Occupy protesters.

“But with Jones’ participation, the protesters are now supported by a coalition of more than 70 liberal organizations - including MoveOn.org, several large labor unions and Planned Parenthood - provide resources and a more coordinated message. Tarps and zero-degree sleeping bags have flooded into squares through a website set up by Jones’ partners…”

“What are we doing with communists in the White House?” one outraged voter shouted at Rep. Chet Edwards, a Texan Democrat, at a town meeting hall last August. “He has the ear of the President!” … A year later, the Congressman lost his race for reelection by 25 points.” [Repeat this question over and over again for all voters in 2012!]

[But wait! Nancy Pelosi says, “Van Jones has made it his life’s work to speak the truth to power.” During the time of Bishop Fulton Sheen, it would have been unheard of for any U.S. political party to be associated with Communists. But we need to remember that Nancy is an absolutely phony fraud Catholic-in-name-only politician along with her dozen Democratic Catholic clones in California like Loretta and Linda Sanchez .]

The liberal progressive democratic mindset is intellectually bankrupt with ideas. They need a communist to inspire and guide them.

“ … He (Jones) packaged in a 70-slide power point presentation that he began showing to the leaders of just about every progressive institution on both coasts. Modern social change, he argued, was driven from the ground up through “meta-branded” movements organized on line through social media…”

“In short order, nearly every national progressive group in the U.S. signed on to Jones’ effort, pledging to form what the groups called the American Dream Movement…

"The decision by Liberal Groups to embrace Occupy was not a foregone conclusion… But Jones pressed the case for championing the new effort. He began to adopt the clear-cut class language of the Occupy protesters, denouncing the “banksters,” whom he described as “some of the worst people in the world.” He wrote an essay in the Huffington Post addressed to his fellow liberal leaders, titled “Wall Street Protests: Which Side Are You ON?” and appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” to declare how proud he was of the new generation in the streets. “You talk about an Arab Spring,” Jones said, “We could be on the verge of an American Autumn…”

“In mid-November, the American Dream network will host more than 200 teach-ins across the country focusing on the demands of Occupy, the issue of income inequality and the importance of non-violence to retain credibility… His coalition plans to select a slate of candidates, “from dogcatcher to Congress,” across the U.S. and train thousands of volunteers [products of our secular educational system] as local organizers…”

“In recent weeks, he (Jones) has traveled to Occupy general assemblies in Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Manhattan speaking at each of them…”

Enemies of the Constitution

Enemies of the Constitution
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, November 21, 2011

Again thanks to Claremont Institute’s booklet, 2004 - “The Rise and Fall of Constitutional Government in America” by Thomas G. West and Douglas A. Jeffrey for the following information.

“The framers of the Constitution designed American government to protect equal rights. A written Constitution, separation of powers, federalism and various public supports to morality were means to facilitate this goal. But as we have seen, over the past century, the goal of government has increasingly shifted to producing an equality of condition. Given this goal, one would expect new government arrangements and practices to follow. This occurred, resulting in the new welfare state.

“Constitutionalism Derailed: Institutions Transformed: As a matter of logic, the denial of human nature and rejection of natural rights undercut the very idea of constitutionalism – “the idea enshrined in the American founding by the existence of fundamental written law.” The purpose of constitutionalism is to limit the ordinary operation of government in order to protect equal rights.

“It becomes an impediment when the government seeks to subvert equal rights in the pursuit of other ends. As Woodrow Wilson put it: “Living political constitutions must be Darwinian in structure and practice.” They must be open to constant reinterpretation to allow government wide scope to accomplish its evolving goals. “Limited government, the legacy of the Founders, must be transformed into unlimited government.” As a practical matter, the separation of powers, the cornerstone of the Framers’ Constitution, has been effectively dismantled since the late 1960’s.

“Judiciary: … The job of the courts was to take the laws passed by Congress and the fundamental law of the Constitution and apply them to particular cases in which one party claims that another has done wrong. In the words of Chief Justice John Marshall, they were to be “servants of the law.” Under today’s “living constitution” the courts have taken on a new role of participating actively in the formation of public policy, in effect giving themselves a legislative and executive role.

“An example of legislating based on a pretense of interpreting the Constitution is Roe v. Wade; in 1973 Supreme Court decision striking down state laws restricting abortions. The justices clearly knew that there is not a right to abortion in the Constitution. They just did not care. “As Justice William Brennan said in 1986, the Framers’ Constitution belongs to a “world that is dead and gone,” and therefore their “values” do not apply to our world.” [FYI – William Brennan was a “Catholic-in-name only Person” and got away with murder.] … most judges care little about the original meaning of the Constitution in their constitutional jurisprudence…

“Examples of courts executing the law are takeovers by federal judges of local school districts (to implement busing to achieve racial balance) and state prison systems (to give prisoners more pleasant conditions)… In short, the courts no longer adjudicate the law, but legislate based on personal beliefs. The President no longer executes the law, but finds his powers reduced by a bureaucracy beyond his control. The Congress still makes laws, but decreasingly deliberates and increasingly administers…” George H. Kubeck

Fulton Sheen - Then and Now

2011-11-20T10:41:00.000-08:00

Bishop Fulton Sheen – Then and Now
– www.cinopsbegone.com – Solemnity of Christ the King, Sunday, November 20, 2011

THEN: I concur with Thomas C. Reeves, the author of the book: “The Life and Times of Fulton Sheen (Encounter books, 2001) that Bishop Fulton Sheen was the most important Catholic of the 20th century America. Fulton had a great speaking voice and would work 19 hours daily, seven days a week.

In 1928, he went on “Catholic Hour” national broadcast. He was on for more than two decades. Vast quantities of letters and financial donations poured in on “Catholic Hour” officials whenever Sheen spoke. He was also a popular preacher during Lent and Holy Days.

Sheen’s TV talks, delivered in full regalia of a bishop were masterful. He worked each presentation for 35 hours. He was on television in the 1950s for one-half hour weekly in a “Life is Worth Living” series. He preached the gospel via television. Catholic EWTN still shows episodes of this magnificent series.

Some of Sheen’s talks and writings dealt with Communism, which the Bishop, a student of Marxism and a personal friend of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, thought a threat to the nation and the world.

NOW: the mindset of the leftists and democrats is intellectually and morally bankrupt. They are allowing a certified Communist Van Jones to agitate, inspire and direct “Occupy Wall Street” protests. Ref. Time Magazine, Nov. 21, 2011, “The Return of the Rabble Rouser.” Instead of the teacher brainwashed protesters at Occupy Wall Street I want the misguided teachers themselves to be there. Ask them questions and they will respond as fools for Karl Marx and socialism. Education is bankrupt.

Sheen spent an hour of prayer daily before the Eucharist. At 84 years, he died in his chapel before the Blessed Sacrament on Dec. 9, 1979. Bishop Fulton Sheen is a super role model for religious and laity.

NOW: Today, we have a completely different America. Why? We needed leadership and we didn’t have a bishop Fulton Sheen or any other Catholic Lay leader to speak out Catholic beliefs during this past generation. We had no American equivalent of Blessed Pope John Paul II. Bishop Fulton Sheen would have been that equivalent. Let’s have Sheen’s TV talks on a special ETWN all day event.

In Blessed Pope John Paul II terminology the culture of death values has taken over in America. For example, they seek to legalize same-sex marriage. And if you still believe that marriage is between a man and woman, you are smeared as being a racist and a bigot.

For Catholic hospitals, the conscience clause for doctors and health care workers is threatened and legally will be eliminated. That is why THE TESTIMONY ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY by Bishop William E. Lori to the committee of U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on the Constitution, Oct. 26, 2011 is so important to all Christians especially Catholics and members of the Knights of Columbus.

Find out who votes against the three bipartisan bills – 1) the Protect Life Act (H.R. 358), 2) the Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (H.R. 361) and 3) the Respect Rights of Conscience Act (H.R. 1179).

Just/Faith – A Critical Analysis – Part 1 of 4 or 5
The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, Nov. 19, 2011

From the Mindszenty Report – Nov. 2011 – Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation – Vol. LIII-No. 11 – “Blowing in the Wind” – Just/Faith & the Socialist Indoctrination of the Church by Dr. William A. Borst, PhD. If possible obtain a copy. Phone 314-727-6279 – www.mindszenty.org -

“In 1962 four years after John XXIII became Pope; he called the Second Vatican Council to open the windows of the past, so that the winds of modernization or what he called Aggiornamento would blow a refreshing breeze over the Church. That same year, songwriter Bob Dylan wrote the lyrics to “Blowing in the Wind,” which was a paean to the Civil Rights movement that was blowing across the American social landscape. Since then both powerful winds have emerged to create a prevailing weather system that has penetrated the deep corridors in America with tornado force.

“The Winds of Change: With the Church’s open windows, many innovative and unique programs have substantially changed the face of the Church. Among the sex education courses, centering prayer groups, and the like, is Just Faith which has an activist pedigree that dates back to the Social Gospel of the late 19th century.

“The Social Gospel was a Protestant intellectual movement during the early 20th century that applied Christian ethics to social problems, especially inequality, alcohol, crime, racial tensions, poverty, child labor, and labor unions. The leaders of the Social Gospel were predominantly associated with the Progressive Movement. In true utopian fashion they sought to institutionalize the words of the Lord’s Prayer, thy will be done on earth. The Second Coming could not happen until mankind had cleansed the world of its social evils.

“The founder of the Social Gospel Movement was Walter Rauschenbusch. He wanted to spread the Kingdom of God, not in the fire and brimstone style of 18th century Puritan preacher Cotton Mather, but by leading an exemplary Christian life. He believed that the Kingdom of God is not a matter of getting individuals to heaven but of transforming the life on earth into the harmony of heaven. In his 1907 book, Christianity and the Social Crisis, he wrote that whoever uncouples the religious and the social life has not understood Jesus.

“Unfortunately, Rauschenbusch had ulterior motives. HE WAS A DOCTINAIRE FABIAN SOCIALIST, who wrote in 1893, the only power that can make socialism succeed, if it is established, is religion. In his priorities, religion took second place to his socialism. Faith was primarily a convenient tool with which he could make socialism a permanent fixture on the cultural landscape.

“A Faith Journey: A closer look at JustFaith indicates that it is more like a Social Gospel than it is Christianity. While JustFaith purportedly tries to foster a passion for social ministry as part of a journey of faith, religious doctrine is conveniently tossed aside in favor of fostering a deeper commitment to the social work of the Church on earth. It stresses the interconnection of the Gospel message of peace and justice with the Catholic social teaching & intersection of spirituality & action…"

George H. Kubeck concurs with Dr. William A. Borst.

God is the Foundation of Government*

Congratulation to the “Catholic Diocese of Orange Country” in the purchase of the Crystal Cathedral!

Memo to Justice/Faith Ministry: For Catholics to read and study the writings of Jim Wallis, Bill Ayers, and Sol Alinsky on matters relating to Catholic Social Justice is like working with the ACLU on the First Amendment to our Constitution in the pursuit of authentic religious freedom and rights.

“God is the foundation of good government and national prosperity. Regardless of your religious belief or disbelief, any reasonable person must concede that America is broken. Violent crime plagues not only our inner cities but also our public schools. Even secular talk show hosts acknowledge that all is not well with America. Something must be done…

“In Chapter 28 of the book of Deuteronomy, God gives the children of Israel a choice. This is the chapter of the Blessings and the Curses. The choice is clear. The nation can choose to obey God and reap His blessings, or disobey God and incur the inevitable curses. There are two paths to choose. The first path is outlined in verses 1-14 and the second path is revealed in verses 15-68…

“The blessing portion in Deuteronomy 28 begins in verse 1. If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all of his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth… Verse 6 says, “You will blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.”… One of the blessings that flow from obeying God is abundant prosperity…

“However, Deuteronomy 28, verse 15, begins the curses. Verse 15 states that if you do not obey God all of the curses will hunt you down and devour you corporately and individually… In America today, we have cities which are bankrupt… In verse 18, Deuteronomy states that a disobedient nation will experience infertility in both animals and humans. Today, millions of children have been slaughtered by abortion. Thousands of women have become sterile.

“Chapter 28, verse 19, states that we will no longer have security if we reject God… Verse 20 states that we will experience confusion if we reject God… Verses 21, 27-28 and 60-61 paint a startling picture regarding incurable diseases. The Lord will plague you with diseases until He has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess… Today, we are clueless as to the cures for many diseases…

“A nation that rejects God will be a debtor nation… However, if we reject God and do not follow His commandments, then verses 15-68 describe our ultimate demise.”

Black Conservative Herman Cain Be Gone

Black Conservative Herman Cain Be Gone
The relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2011

For decades the American people have had to put up with a two-faced, double standard, culture of death slanted U.S. Mainstream Media. They support the progressive leftist agenda also called political correctness. They promote the reelection of President Barrack Obama.

They are the ones that called Tea Party supporters racists. When their candidate Obama is in trouble they are able to create new talking points. For example, this week it is about voters going to polls and having the proper identification. If it is too strict then it is identified as racist. Progressives often use the word racist when attacking their opponents. It is part of their mindset. They hate traditional America. Normal Americans experience this all the time. For example:

Just think of the life, marriage and family issues where supporters were ignored, denigrated and ridiculed. After all, we are just uninformed, dumb and old-fashioned. Likewise teachers who believed in the 1960s and 1970s that legalized unionism in public education were destructive to the independence and integrity of the public school teacher.

You pay for your political and social agenda and I will pay for mine but don’t force me to pay for your agenda as condition for my employment in this school district. Independent-minded teachers were given by the media no airing of the conservative position In California. Today, the teacher’s yearly pay-off to unions is $1000.00. During the Proposition 8 campaign the teacher unions contribute monies to defeat Proposition 8. Their mantra is: if you are not for same-sex marriage you are a racist and bigot. This is relativistic hogwash.

Among the lefties who do you think is the most dangerous public figure in America? It is a Black conservative with traditional values. Herman Cain is that man. The progressives a.k.a lefties, liberals, Democrats will do everything possible to smear and destroy that man’s character. If they had applied that same standard to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton both of these politicians would be out of office. Jesse and Al remain because they are promoters of the progressive liberal democratic agenda.

No politician is a saint. But the culture of death needs to put Black Conservative Americans in their place. Why? Black conservative Americans bring new ideas into solving social and political problems. That cannot be allowed. For progressive democrats to win in elections they need 90% of the black vote and in 2012 presidential election that is absolutely necessary.

Nevertheless, here is a CNN polling report. White Americans against Obama 61% to 37%. Among the non-white Obama’s support is 2 to 1. Independents opposed to Obama are 54% to 42%. We know that Herman Cain muffed up on an interview with respect to Libya. He will make other mistakes. But Herman Cain is the best thing for Black America and the nation as a whole.

Everything possible must be done by pro-life to either elect him as President or Vice-President. Be aware that Black Americans voted for marriage in California by 70%. But they were not allowed to vote in Washington, D.C. Progressivism is a destructive anti-traditional American philosophy of government.

Herman Cain in his own Words

Herman Cain in his own Words
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011

The host of the CBS program asked Cain about comments he made in January saying he opposes the racist agenda of “PLANNED PARENTHOOD” the nation’s biggest abortion business.

“I absolutely would defund Planned Parenthood – not because I don’t believe in planning parenthood, [but because] Planned Parenthood as an organization is an absolute farce on the American people,” he said then. “People who know the history of Margaret Sanger, who started Planned Parenthood, they know that the intention was not to help young women who get pregnant to plan their parenthood. No – it was a sham to be able to kill black babies.”

In the new interview, Cain says, “I still stand by that. If people go back and look at the history and look at Margaret Sanger’s own words, that’s exactly where that came from What I am saying is , Planned Parenthood isn’t sincere about wanting to try to counsel them not to have abortions.”

“Seventy-five percent of those facilities were built in the black community. In Margaret Sanger’s own words she didn’t use the word ‘genocide’ but she did talk about preventing the increasing number of poor blacks in this country by preventing black babies from being born,” Cain told the program…

Walter Hoye, a pro-life African-American pastor from California, says Cain’s comments are borne out in a report issued by LIFE DYNAMICS showing the placement of abortion centers in largely black or minority areas displays the racial undertone of abortion. “The eye opening report, Racial Targeting and Population Control by Mark Crutcher. President of Life Dynamics confirms Herman Cain’s declaration and reveals the truth about Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry,” Cain says…

Now, in a new interview with David Brody of CBN News, Cain says he would support a “HUMAN LIFE AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION “to afford legal protection for the 1.2 million unborn children who die in the abortions annually since the Roe v. Wade decision.

“Are you for some sort of pro-life amendment to the constitution that in essence would trump Roe v. Wade?” Brody asks. “Yes. Yes I feel that strongly about it. If we can get the necessary support and it comes to my desk I’ll sign it. That’s all I can do. I will sign it,” Cain responds… “I believe that the office of the presidency and the bully pulpit should be used for that because I happen to believe that we have many instances where if you appeal to the people’s hearts you can change their minds. I had the experience of visiting a facility in Houston, Texas not too long ago. It was a women’s facility … they work with ladies who have gotten pregnant and they think they want an abortion. .. They introduced me to a young lady who had decided not to have an abortion, and see that pretty baby there… you have to show them the beauty of not aborting a life.

Dr. Martin Luther King was one of the greatest leaders this country has ever seen. How did he bring about the movement that resulted in the Civil Rights Act of 1964? He touched the hearts of people. That’s what a President needs to have the ability to do, in order to change people’s minds.”… www.lifesitenews.com – 10/23 and 11/03

George H. Kubeck, President or V.P. Herman Cain would strengthen all American families with traditional values.

Remember the Alamo today and in 2012

Remember the Alamo today and in 2012
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com - Sunday, Nov. 13, 2011

Why? This historic battle occurred 175 years ago in San Antonio, Texas. We will review The Story of Alamo’s Historic Past and the - Thirteen fateful days in 1836 – as presented by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. Reference the flyer as distributed at the Alamo: www.TheAlamo.org

“Originally named Mission San Antonio de Valero, the Alamo served as home to missionaries and their Indian converts for nearly seventy years: Construction began on the present site in 1724. In 1793, Spanish officials secularized San Antonio’s five missions and distributed their lands to the remaining Indian residents.

“In early 1800s, the Spanish military stationed a cavalry unit at the former mission. The soldiers referred to the old mission as the Alamo (the Spanish word for “cottonwood”) in honor of their home town Alamo de Parras, Coahuila. The post’s commander established the first recorded hospital in Texas in the Long Barrack.

“The Alamo was home to both Revolutionaries and Royalist during Mexico’s ten year struggle for independence. The military – Spanish, Rebel, and then Mexican – continued to occupy the Alamo until the Texas Revolution.

“San Antonio and the Alamo played a critical role in the Texas Revolution… On February 23, 1836, the arrival of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana’s army outside of San Antonio nearly caught them by surprise… The defenders held out for 13 days against Santa Ana’s army. [6,000] … Colonel William B. Travis, the commander of the Alamo drew a line on the ground and asked any man willing to stay and fight to step over – all except one did. Among the Alamo’s garrison were Jim Bowie, the renowned knife fighter, and David Crockett, the famed frontiersman and former congressman from Tennessee.

“The final assault came before daybreak on the morning of March 6, 1836, as columns of Mexican soldiers emerged from the predawn darkness and headed for the Alamo’s walls.”

Daniel Cloud from Kentucky while on route to San Antonio wrote on Dec. 26, 1835 “If we succeed the Country is ours. It is immense in extent and fertile in its soil and will amply reward all our toil. If we fail, death in the cause of liberty and humanity is not cause for shuddering. Our rifles are by our side, and choice guns they are, and we know what awaits us, and are prepared to meet it.”

At the Alamo, the survivors were 14 women and children. 189 men lay dead. General Santa Ana burned their bodies. About 25 of the dead came from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany , and Denmark. The others came from TX, VA, NC, KY, AR, MO, PA, AL, NY, GA, MS, NY, TN, OH, LA, CT, NC, NJ, AR, SC, RI and MA. What we have is American Exceptionalism. “Remember The Alamo!”

Today, there is an assault on the American character and historic values. False secularization mindsets want to change us into a people who we are not. They have the elite, the money and mainstream news media propaganda machine trying to do it.

Instead of jobs, they have put 48 million Americans on food stamps; they have encouraged envy and class warfare; and in the name of the poor hate the rich; in name of our well being and cost maintenance, health czars intrude in our lives; they have subverted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, specifically Amendment 1, etc.

Overview of Bishop Lori's Testimony on Religious Liberty

Overview of Bishop Lori’s: Testimony on Religious Liberty
Relentless pursuit of the truth: www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, Nov. 3, 2011

This is a must read: It is the testimony of Most Reverend William E. Lori, Bishop of Bridgeport, On behalf of the United Conference of Catholic Bishops – Before the Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives, Subcommittee on the Constitution, Oct. 26, 2011.This testimony will be discussed in future letters. Here are excerpts of the Introduction and the 3 parts to the testimony.

“I am here today representing the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)… and as the newly appointed Chair of the USCCB’s Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty.”

1…”Religious liberty is not merely one right among others, but enjoys a certain primacy. As the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI recently explained: “It is indeed the first of human rights, not only because it was historically the first to be recognized but also because it touches the constitutive dimension of man, his relationship with his creator.”.. .

Religious liberty is also prior to the state itself. It is not merely a privilege that the government grants us and so may take away at will… The Declaration of Independence boldly proclaimed as a self-evident truth that our inalienable rights are “endowed by our Creator” – not by the State… Finally, the Church teaches that these rights of religious freedom – prior to all other rights and even to the State, and protecting both individuals and institutions – are held not just by Catholics, but by all people, by virtue of their common humanity.”

2…”this great national legacy of religious liberty … has been subject to ever more frequent assault and ever more rapid erosion… a) In August, the U.S. Department of Health and Services (HHS) issued regulations to mandate the coverage of contraceptives (including abortifacients) and sterilization a “preventive services” in almost all private health insurance plans… b) In May, … USCCB’s Migration and Refugee Services (MRS), will be barred from participating in the program because they cannot in conscience provide the “full range” of reproductive services – namely, abortion and contraception…

c) The State Department’s Agency for International Development (USAID) is increasingly requiring contractors, such as Catholic Relief Services (CRS), to provide comprehensive HIV prevention activities (including condom distribution) … to treat AIDS in Africa… d) The federal Department of Justice (DoJ) has ratcheted up its attack on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) BY MISCHARACTERIZING IT AS AN ACT OF BIGOTRY… But in July, the Department started filing briefs actively attacking DOMA’s constitutionality, claiming that supporters … have been motivated by bias and prejudice…

e)DoJ has also undermined religious liberty in the critically important “ministerial exception” case now pending before the Supreme Court, Hosanna Tabor v. EEOC. f) In New York, county clerks face legal action for refusing to participate in same-sex unions… In Illinois, Catholic Charities has been driven out of the adoption and foster care business, because it recognizes the unique value of man-woman marriage or the well-being of children.”

3. … “There are three important bipartisan bills currently in the Congress: the Protect Life Act (H.R. 358), the Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (H.R. 361) and the Respect Rights of Conscience Act (H.R. 1179). All three go a long way towards guaranteeing religious liberty and freedom of conscience for the religious employers, health insurers, and health care providers.”

George H. Kubeck, the question is, “How can we get the above information to the parishioners in the pews?” Catholic Advocate is launching a petition to protect religious freedom. Please access. http://www.lifesitenews.com/home/print_article/news/32185

David Mamet - Playwright - Turns Right

David Mamet – Playwright – Turns Right
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011

Thanks to Suzanne Field’s Townhall.com’s article 6/10/2011, “David Mamet Turns Right”. David is a screenwriter, movie director and sometime essayist. He is a convert to conservatism and common sense. Mamet writes of his conversion to free market economics, his discovery of the errors of multiculturalism, in a new book titled, “THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE: ON THE DISMANTLING OF AMERICAN CULTURE.”

“No longer, he declares, is he a “brain-dead liberal.” Sometime after arriving in Hollywood, of all places, and at 60, he engaged in a conversation with his Republican rabbi (where did he find one?), who gave him the books of conservative writers, such as Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Milton Friedman and Paul Johnson. He had a dramatic political conversion.

“Mamet re-evaluated his own heroes, starting with the playwright Bertolt Brecht, whom he now describes as “a show dog of communism,” who theatrically criticized capitalism even as his royalties allowed him to live comfortably on capital deposited in a Swiss bank account. Karl Marx, he discovered, never earned his money, but mooched on Friedrich Engels’ family, which may account for his ideas about how wealth should be distributed.

“The great wickedness of Liberalism,” Mamet discovered, “was that those who devise the ever-new state Utopias … set out to bankrupt and restrict not themselves, but others.”

“Mamet first observes his own hypocrisy, recognizing the disconnect between how he acted and how he talked, “talking Left and living Right,” which leads him to a collective indictment of himself and others in his generation of baby boomers, whose ideology has never quite been in sync with the real world they inhabit.

“As my generation did not live through the Depression, World War II and the agony of the immigrants who are our grandparents or great-grandparents: as we were raised in the greatest plenty the world has ever known and in the most just of societies,” he writes, “we have grown lazy and entitled (not unlike Marx, who lived as a parasite upon Engels, and never worked a day in his life).”

“In this scenario, liberals replace the Judeo-Christian roots of democracy with wishful Utopian thinking, belief in man in the abstract rather than the flawed human being that he is : “We are told we need not produce, but may merely hope, we need not defend, but may hope, we must not consume, but are allowed, somehow, to hope for sustenance, magically, deriving from some unspecified actions of a government, which, all observe, is at best competent, and, more usually, self-serving and corrupt, whoever is in power.”

“The title of Mamet’s book is meant as ironic … there is no secret knowledge, except the recognition that the federal government in its expanding power is “the zoning board write large.” Mamet’s new-found hero is Friedrich Hayek, who observed that man is limited and government should be also... He passionately defends patriotism, tradition, the family (rather than the diluted “family values”) and the Bible. [He is a traditionalist.]

“The book is spontaneous, contemplative, wild, and earnest, ferociously eloquent, pugnacious persuasive, angry and edgy. On the difference between liberal and conservative, “It’s the difference between the heavenly dream and the God-awful reality. How true!” +++ George H. Kubeck +++

Why Herman Cain for President? - Part 1

Why Herman Cain for President? – Part 1
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, October 31, 2011

There are dozens of reasons. In our American history books who do you want as a role model, Barack Obama or Herman Cain? Which party is the one that has destroyed the Black American family? Which American is an authentic Black American with religious and political roots in traditional America? It is about values. Which of the two candidates is promoting your values?

Keep in mind that the “Left Turn” BOOK by Tim Groseclose, liberal media establishment will try to destroy and smear any black American conservative running for president. Also be aware that the “Filthy Rich” are planning a third party. This is to confuse ordinary folks. This will be done TO get Obama reelected. Here is the news from the Drudge Report – Friday, October 28, 2011 by Newsmax – by Jim Meyers – Third Party Mulls Hillary as Presidential Candidate.

“A well-funded group called Americans Elect is planning to hold a national primary election on the Internet with the aim of nominating a centrist third-party candidate for president in 2012. “American Elect is a collection of Republicans, Democrats and independents who say they are disgusted by the polarization that has poisoned American politics, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“The group is collecting signatures to put itself on the ballot in every state, and claims it has collected 1.6 million signatures in California. “Among the figures frequently mentioned as possible American Elect candidates are New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, former Democrat Sen. Evan Baugh, and Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. This group could seek to draft Hillary Clinton.

“The candidate is unlikely to win the election, but could have a major impact on the outcome, the Times observes. “The only two modern presidents who failed to win re-election to a second term, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, lost in elections that included relatively strong third-party candidates: John B. Anderson in 1980 and H. Ross Perot in 1992.”

Peggy Noon has a poignant article in The Wall Street Journal titled, The Divider vs. the Thinker: Oct. 28,2011

“The president, Rep. Paul Ryan said, has made a shift in his appeal to the electorate. “Instead of appealing to the hope and optimism that were hallmarks of his first campaign, he has launched his second campaign by preying on the emotions of fear, envy and resentment.” … Mr. Ryan slammed “corporate welfare and crony capitalism.”… Why are tax dollars being wasted on bankrupt, politically connected solar energy firms like Solyndra? “Why is Washington wasting your money on entrenched agribusiness?”

Barack Hussein Obama does not believe in American exceptionalism. “A love of country based on a shared knowledge of how and why it began; a broad feeling among our citizens that there was something providential in our beginnings; gratitude that left us with a sense that we should comport ourselves in a way unlike the other nations of the world, that more was expected of us, and not unjustly – “To whom much is given much is expected”; a general understanding that we were something new in history, a nation founded on ideals and aspirations – liberty, … We were from Europe but we would be European: No formal class structure here,…”

A Critique of “What I Saw at Occupy Wall Street”*
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, Oct. 30th, 2011

*Anonymous to: “What I Saw at Occupy Wall Street” posted Sat. Oct. 29th, 2011

Comment # 1: I don’t think all of the protesters can be painted with the same brush. The financial industry-the banks, commodities brokers, and real estate-people helped to destroy our financial system… and no one went to jail…

You should have seen this week’s McLaughlin Group. Buchanan also mentioned how the “Free Trade” Republicans and their multiple Free Trade Agreements helped shift millions of jobs overseas… What you don’t realize is that the heads of the multi-national corporations don’t care about the country. They have no loyalty.

You should expand your readings material to something other than Neo-conservative publications. Obama has made it worse to be sure … However, Bush didn’t believe in regulating capitalism and we are being forced to pay the price.

Response to Comment # 1: You have made some good comments. Will put it into a letter on the blog as soon as possible with other comments. Always open to enlightenment. Recheck my comments. Do you concur or not?

Comment # 2: I’ll have to read it more closely. After listening to Limbaugh and seeing John Stossel on Fox … These guys believe that “Wall Street” has no culpability in what happened. It’s the difference between being a “Rockefeller-blue blood” and a social conservative. I thought you were a social conservative. What about the Pope’s encyclical on greed from a few years back? Again the heads of corporations and the Wall Street brokers who DON’T CARE about “main st.”

Forget about the leftist, pot-smoking kids in the parts for Occupy Wall Street. There are many Americans- many conservatives and independents-who are not happy with UNREGULATED capitalism. Oh, and the issue of jobs: Do you think that the Free Trade Agreements were a wise idea????

Perot said that there would be a “giant sucking sound.” He was referring to jobs leaving the country. Under Bush, we lost 20% of more of our manufacturing base. Is that good???? Under Bush we fought a war in Iraq that has gotten us NOTHING. The oil contracts went to European countries. The country Iraq is sympathetic to Iran…. We lost 4,000 soldiers… Read attachment^and get back with me… The problem with some of your interpretation is that you think that criticizing Bush means that a person is a Leftist… He did major damage to our overall power as a country. What say you?

P.S. ^After 8 years of war in Iraq, there were 4.478 killed and 33,169 wounded-some horribly maimed…Before the war, many … speculated that Republican Neo-conservatives, a cabal P.Wolfowitcz, R. Perle and B. Kristol … provided the “impetus” for Bush to invade Iraq… in order to encourage democracy and provide a more stable region to assist Israel… the results … In Israel’s “back door,” Hamas, a virulent and more dangerous opponent won the election in Gaza in 2006. A Hezbollah (Iranian terrorist group) back party won the election in Lebanon in January…

Is Israel safer as a result of the Neo-con Utopian idealists, who disregarded 60 years of American foreign policy in favor of “democracy for all”-no matter how radical and anti-American their belief systems are? Was it worth it? 1 trillion dollars spent…And now we have no effective political influence and military presence in Iraq… With this war and the lack of oversight and regulation in the Wall St. financial scandal, we would’ve been better with President James Buchanan.

George H .Kubeck, Thanks for all the above comments!

What I Saw at Occupy Wall Street*
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, October 29, 2011

*Written by John Ritchie, Oct. 21, 2011, http://www.tfp-home/news-commentary/what- i-saw at occupy-street/print.ht...

*Soon after entering the protest perimeter at Zuccotti Park a piece of communist propaganda was thrust into my hand. The flier starts: “It’s not just Wall Street … capitalism must be destroyed.” As I continued reading, other lines jumped off the page: “Only communism can live up to the aspirations the Occupy Wall Street movement has tapped into.” Then the tag line calls readers to “join the revolutionary communist Progressive Labor Party.”

“I kept walking, tiptoeing around a maze of sleeping bags and clutter. The next sight that caught my attention was a large, dirty flag with the figure of communist terrorist, Chef Guevara held by a disheveled protester. I approached and saw “Smash the State” printed on it. “I don’t think this is going to remain peaceful,” said the fellow holding the communist Chef flag. Meanwhile a group of agitated anarchists dressed in dark, dirty clothes, “What does democracy look like? This is what democracy looks like.”

“Besides the Chef flag was a gray-bearded man hawking buttons. “I’m an anarchist,” he offered. Pointing to his buttons, he explained: “These are anti-war, these are racial, these are gender [pro-homosexual], and these are anti-authoritarian. Other crude signs were displayed amid the eclectic conglomeration of hundreds of disgruntled protesters. “Eat the Rich,” said one. Others promoted socialism or environmental “rights.”

“Then I stumbled into a discussion circle dedicated to “breaking the gender binary,” which is another way of saying they want to dismantle the differences between male and female. The very idea of manhood and womanhood was offensive to them.

“How interesting. Seemingly separate movements all converged for a common revolt. Protesters shared a common contempt for authority, our military, morality, law, order, private property and inequality in general. By chance, I looked up and saw a man holding a megaphone emblazed with word “revolt.” Churchill put it well. “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

“I continued strolling around. The odor was aggressive, very unpleasant. Almost every conversation I overheard was heavily laden with profanity. I was even cursed out by woman who did not like my video camera. The protesters fancy that they represent 99% of America. But do they? Do people waving communist flags stamped with the image of Chef Guevara, peddling anarchy and socialism really represent 99% of America? No. Not even 1 %. P.S. Protesters in Rome, acting in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, destroyed a statue of the Virgin Mary.”

George H. Kubeck

P.S. These barbarians hate America. Where are the High School and College teachers who have indoctrinated many of the participants? They are cowards! During the 1930’s we had the Goebbels’s propaganda news in Germany. Except for Fox News, we seem to have something similar in America: Secular politically correct news. Mission: sugar coat Class Warfare: be a cover for the Reelection of the Obama Regime.

Religious Liberty Threatened: Archbishop Gomez

Religious Liberty Threatened: Archbishop Gomez
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Friday, October 28, 2011

Ref. www.catholicnewsagency.com by Marianne Medlin, L.A., Calif. Oct. 26th article in the monthly Catholic magazine, First Things and also posted in L.A. Tidings October, 2011

“There is much evidence to suggest that our society no longer values the public role of religion or recognizes the importance of religious freedom as a basic right,” Archbishop Gomez said on Oct. 25.

“America’s founders understood that our democracy depends on Americans’ being moral and virtuous,” he wrote. “They knew the best guarantee for this is a civil society in which individuals and religious institutions were free to live, act, and vote according to their values and principles.”

“Archbishop Gomez, who leads the largest diocese in the U.S., said that Catholics have always believed that they are equipped to be the best citizens when they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his Church. “Since before the founding of our country, he noted, members of the faith have worked to provide “vital” social services, education, and health care for surrounding society.”

“But lately, this is becoming harder and harder for us to do,” he said. [May I interject here and state categorically that this has occurred since the Obama regime took over and not during the Bush administration. And this is the absolute truth.]

“Archbishop Gomez cited the example of the government denying funding to the U.S. bishops’ Migration and Refugee Services agency, which since 2006 has helped thousands of women and children who are victims of human trafficking.”

“Recently, the government had been demanding that our agency provide abortions, contraception and sterilizations for the women we serve,” he said. “We hope our application was not denied because we refused to provide these services that are unnecessary and violate our moral principle and religious mission.”

“As disconcerting as it is, however, this situation is “not an isolated case,” he said. Archbishop Gomez drew attention to the Health and Human Services Department’s proposed rule that would force private employers to provide insurance coverage for sterilizations & contraception – including medications that cause early abortion.

“This not only violates the consciences of Catholic business owners, it also undermines the religious autonomy of Church employers,” he said. The LA archbishop also pointed to the nationwide push to legalize “same-sex marriage,” which has already caused Church adoption and foster-care ministries to shut down rather than “submit to government demands that they place children with same-sex couples or provide benefits for same-sex employees … many people fear “that this belief in [true] marriage might now be labeled as a form of bigotry and lead to a new challenges to our liberties…”

“My brother bishops and I are deeply concerned that believers’ liberties – and the Church’s freedom to carry out her mission – are threatened today, as they have been before in our history…”

What it Means to be a Christian

What it Means to be a Christian
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011

Significant excerpts from the book by Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) – Three Sermons- Ignatius Press, San Francisco, 2006 –[Published in German – 1965]

1st Sermon – Are We Saved? Or Job Talks with God:“We have new phenomena the appearance of people incapable of relating to God…: We inevitably experience time and time again how Christian reality is powerless against all other forces that influence us and make demands of us…

“Advent is our present time, “our reality” a very profound form of skepticism that fears faith will not be big enough to cope with reality…

“Insofar as we are living on a basis of selfishness, of egoism then even today we are “before Christ”. But in this of Advent, we may live less and less “before Christ” but truly with Christ and in Christ with him who is indeed Christ yesterday, today and forever. (Heb. 13:18) Amen

2nd Sermon – Faith as Service: “In a certain sense, one does not become a Christian for oneself at all; rather, one does so for the sake of the whole, for others, for everyone… Christian “salvation history” only in that way can we understand Holy Scripture at all that God wants to come to men only through other men:

“Thus being a Christian means, constantly and in the first instance, letting ourselves be torn away from selfishness of someone who is living only for himself and entering into the great basic orientation of existing for the sake of another…

3rd Sermon – Above All: Love: “The fate of all history, our fate, depends on one individual: Jesus of Nazareth.

Rabbi Hillel, “Whatever is offensive to you yourself do not do that to your neighbor. That is the whole law. Everything else is interpretation…” “Whoever loves is a Christian… For love, as it is here portrayed as the content of being Christian, demands that we try to live as God lives… he loves us not because we are good, but because he is good… be good to someone who needs our kindness, even if we do not like him…

“We have begun to accept quite seriously that we are one of many among God’s creatures, all of which turn around God as their center… Being a Christian means having love; that is unbelievable difficult, at the same time incredibly simple… By being a Christian means having love; it means achieving the Copernica revolution in our existence by which we cease to make ourselves the center of the universe with everyone else revolving around us… {The definition of Faith is on pages 74-5.}]

“The Christian is the person who does not calculate, rather he does something extra. He is in fact the lover who does not ask, “How much further can I go and still remain with the realm of venial sin, stopping short of mortal sin.” … Seeks what is good without calculation… not merely righteous is the beginning to be a Christian…

“Everyone deserves damnation and everyone is saved by grace… Adopt the attitude of the lover who does not calculate but simply – loves. God himself lives and works according the rule of superabundance of that love which can give nothing less than itself.” +++ George H. Kubeck +++

An Insightful Analysis of U.S. Catholic Bishops - Part 2 of 2

Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, October 24, 2011

The following is Part 2 of 2 excerpts from the Mindszenty Report - October 2011 titled, An American Crucible, Barrack Obama and America’s Two Great Debates. [W. A. Borst – BBPROF@sbcglobal.net ]

“The Tipping Point: Obama’s liberal fiscal policies of punitive taxation, profligate spending and erosion of cultural mores with regard to sex, marriage, drug use, illegal immigration, and health care have already exacted a high toll on American culture. These policies have mired the country in the throes of an optical illusion that has distorted the American reality. They have created an unrecognizable America that has turned its back on freedom and responsibility.

“During his three years in office, President Obama’s feckless leadership and his belligerent attitude toward the eternal values that once reigned in the United States, has accelerated this process. Americans are waking up to the fact that this solipsistic president wants America to be more like Europe. Most Americans flatly reject the ideas of European Social Democracy. They refuse to follow (Europe) down the same tumultuous path become more like France or even worse, Sweden.

“America has reached its tipping point. The gravity of the financial situation has created a new American crucible, making it clear that the 2012 election will be the greatest test America has seen since 1787. The 1st Great Debate, which took place approximately 112 years, deliberated over what kind of country America would be – a strong nation with big government, or a modest country with a small government.

“In the ensuing 112 years America has seen its power, its future and its reputation slowly diminished by both internal influences and philosophical thinking that runs counter to its original vision. American politicians have squandered the values and the constitutional principles that characterized American exceptionalism. The 2nd Great Debate now underscores the unenviable choice between the forces of entitlement and fiscal unsustainability and a dedication to reasonable and responsible government.

“If President Obama is re-elected, even with a Republican Congress, his cavalier use of extra-constitutional instruments, such as executive orders; the creation of dozens of personal Czars and the use of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to legislate the ominous Cap and Trade bill will make it imperative that he become a one-term president. If he wins somehow, America will more like sink to the ocean floor with the other failed hegemons of his history such as Greece, imperial Rome and Great Britain.”

George H. Kubeck

The views of Cardinal Francis George, Archbishops Timothy Dolan and Charles Chaput will prevail within the USCCB and the Catechism of the Catholic Church will win. The enemies of the Catechism are lefties: “Call to Action” agenda: ordination of women: promote gay and lesbian agenda: priests option to marry and accept back into the fold divorce Catholics who have remarried: “Catholic Democrats” and “Catholics for Choice” and The National Catholic Reporter promoting heresy?: Angry waste of time theological debate on accepting homosexuality with same-sex marriage: “The ecclesiastical authorities in North America appear unwilling or unable to use the canonical tools available to them.”CMW

The Rediscovey of Sunday

The Rediscovery of Sunday*
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, October 23, 2011

• We learn what a man thinks, who he is, from that for which he has time. To observe the Christian Sunday is to have time for God, to acknowledge him properly and privately by reserving a piece of our time for him.

• It follows then, that our Sunday outings should be planned so that there is always time for divine worship. Far from diminishing the effectiveness of our recreational excursions, this will animate them. To have time for God means to have time for one another.

• Sunday should be a day for conversation, a day on which we are present to one another and learn anew, to understand one another. Because Sunday is God’s day, it is also humanity’s day: It should offer the possibility of a broad range of common undertakings: play together, cultivation of common interests, music in the home, observance of local customs, hospitality, neighborliness – many other suggestions could be made here.

• Integral to the observance of Sunday should always be a festive and religious-oriented meal that recalls the communal participation in the Eucharist and that, precisely by its religious form, by its turning to the Giver of all things, will also be the surest defense against meaningless arrogance that is often an attempt to compensate for one’s spiritual hunger and spiritual emptiness.

• The way we order our time is dependent on the way we order our Sunday. The rediscovery of Sunday is of crucial importance for our future – the future of the individual, of the family, and of society.

New Tensions between Bishops, White House

New Tensions between Bishops, White House

Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com –Memorial of Blessed John Paul II, Saturday, October 22, 2011

Preface: The tensions are really between “The Catechism of the Catholic Church” and the “White House.” I like Russell Shaw’s article on page 5 of the “Our Sunday Visitor” of October 23, 2011. Right beside that article is the new introductory note to “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship.” In early October, with an eye toward the 2012 elections, the U.S. bishops re-released this document.

If anyone from the ABO (Anybody but Obama) Republican presidential candidates can deliver this page 5 to each Catholic family in the nation, Obama’s Catholic vote in 2008 of 53% will plummet to 43% in /12. The CINOP (Catholic-in-name-only politician) promotes abortion & same-sex marriage.

Today is the Memorial of Blessed John Paul II. He is an apostle for life. Sadly, many Catholic politicians have put him out of their minds. However, there is hope that the nation next year will open the door to Christ. Be not afraid to vote for change that will restore our nation’s well-being not only economically but also spiritually.

The Obama presidency has a radical secularist agenda. It is supported by about 60 CINO (Catholic-in-name-only) politicians* in Congress and 12 in the Senate. They must also be voted out of office. Then we will have this cancer, scandal, shame and albatross around our necks removed.

•The Obama regime claims that support for DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) was “rooted in prejudice and bias.” Archb. Dolan in his letter to the President stated “The administration’s failure to change course on this matter [DOMA] will … precipitate a national conflict between Church and State of enormous proportions to the detriment of both institutitions.”

•The president and his people* consider gays as part of their base constituency while more or less dismissing the Catholic bishops as a threat to his reelection.

•Cardinal Francis George of Chicago calls Obama a secularist. A mindset firmly set in this mold. “Never before have we faced this kind of challenge to our ability to engage in the public square as people of faith and as a service provider…. If we do not act now the consequences will be grave.”…

On the matter of forming consciences for faithful citizenship voting; here are the first 3 of 6.

1.Continuing destruction of unborn children through abortion and other threats to the lives and dignity of others who are vulnerable, sick or unwanted.

2.Renewed efforts to force Catholic ministries - health care, education, and social services – to violate their consciences or stop serving those in need.

3.Intensifying efforts to redefine marriage and enact measures which undermine marriage as the permanent, faithful and fruitful union of one man and one woman and a fundamental moral and social institution essential to the common good…

Dr. William A. Borst of the October, 2011 Cardinal Mindszenty Report will do the analysis: Excerpts:

"Big Government and God’s Gifts: “The Catholic Church will play a large role in the 2nd Great Debate. (2012 Elections) One of the most disturbing aspects of this battle between government and a more manageable government is the role of the Catholic Church. With the main exception of ObamaCare’s strong pro-abortion plank, the Church has expressed little concern with the overall absorption of one sixth of the American economy under the wing of the Democratic rule.

“This is an outrageous and irresponsible position of the largest denomination in the country to take, especially when bishops and clerics have been preaching about stewardship and the responsible management of God’s gifts to its faithful for many years. Would it not be a wise idea for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to apply these same principles to the federal government, which has no compunction in wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars down a partisan sinkhole?

“Echoing Obaman rhetoric, the bishops said balancing the budget requires shared sacrifices by all. Packaged talking points from the Democrats obscure the reality that 51% of Americans pay no income taxes. Like their Democratic mentors, their focus is always on the 10%, whose Catholic members are the very people the bishops expect to give generously to the Church.

“While the bishops pay lip service to the difficult challenges of getting the nation’s financial house in order, they echo the arguments of many other religious groups by declaring that the budget is a moral document. If that is true, the real sinner is not Republicans, such as House Speaker John Boehner who is a faithful Catholic and sounds more Christian in preaching for America to live within its means than bishops who support a president who has been the most wasteful president in American history.

"The Tipping Point: According to blogger Henry Makow, the more America becomes liberal, the more it becomes susceptible to Solipsism. This word was coned in 1874 from the Latin solis, which means alone and ipse, which means self. In common usage it means a self-created reality that has little or no connection with Truth*. As American society has turned more to the left, its political and religious leaders have increasingly strayed from the real world of responsibility and fatal consequences.

"Since he took office in 2009, President Obama has shown little pride in his American heritage [on the part of his mother] and a great deal of disdain. Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, who analyzed Obama’s ideology in a speech The New Liberalism the End of American Ascendancy, is rooted in his conviction that America is so rooted in his conviction that America is so intrinsically flawed and congenitally sinful that it cannot be trusted with, and does not merit, the possession overarching world power." (To be continued)

George H. Kubeck,

*Sadly, the USCCB has an overall liberal perspective. Have we learned anything from history? Can we read the present times properly? Can we not compare our times to the socialism in Germany during the early 1930’s? Any kind of socialism is destructive to a nation! U.S.A. doesn’t want Obama’s socialism! WAKE UP USCCB!

Wanted: A Protestant Christian Journalist

Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, Oct. 20, 2011

It seems that Catholic journalists because of false religious correctness and intimidation haven’t got the guts to do it. I believe a Protestant Christian journalist can do it. He or she needs to research the voting and talking positions of politicians specifically Governor Jerry Brown, Congresswomen Nancy Pelosi, Loretta Sanchez, Senators Patrick Leahy and Tom Harkin.

These five politicians are using a false Catholic label when they run for Office. This fraud must stop and be exposed in the public arena. This research will reveal how different these five publicly elected politicians are to the historic beliefs of Catholics, to “The Catechism of the Catholic Church”, The Magisterium, and the Encyclicals and writings of Blessed John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.

The main focus should be in the areas of life (abortion on demand, infanticide), marriage (same-sex marriage), and also Catholics principles with respect to embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. All of these are absolutely and intrinsically evil.

I will pay one hundred dollars for a ten or more page report to be posted on this blog.

George H. Kubeck

P.S. I am looking for clarity and the writer’s insight and unique perspective. I will pick the best report. Deadline Dec. 31, 2011. Writers can check out the hundreds of letters posted on this blog.

Michael Voris, Keynote Speaker, Irvine, Ca. – Part 2 of 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, Oct. 17, 2011

We continue with excerpts of the closing remarks of Michael Voris’ talk on Friday evening:

“We are in the Trinity. We live our lives in that plane. You’re a reservoir of grace. You can be a channel of grace. God can use anything He wants. Our first and foremost is loving God.

“This is what brings about conversion. Jesus said, “I am leaving you and your hearts are full of sorrow.” Peter gets to suffer for Christ. Your suffering is meritorious. Love our Lord. Deepen this we do now:

“Make me love you more! Voris recalls the motto of his mother, “Holy Spirit Command Me to do Your Will.”

“This life is meaningless … Steve Jobs: What you are measured by our love of Lord. To sacrifice – join ourselves to the Cross: Being Catholic is Tough:

“With God all things are possible. Why do you still have you faith? Given the condition of the World: What’s in you that you still believe?

“You have been given a comprehensive gift! No time to walk away from the Catholic faith: “To whom much has been given much is demanded.”

“Getting rid of the old person: Add to the ability to know God: I want to suffer for the salvation of souls. Doing it because you love our Lord: It’s about saving souls… From a center of sacrifice that is what we do to change the world.”

George H. Kubeck,

Personal: “In what ways would you want to be more like Stephen? Stephen saw the Glory of God and Jesus the Messiah standing at God’s right hand… People may not kill us for witnessing about Christ, buy they will let us know they don’t want to hear the truth and often try to silence us… Remember Stephen’s death made a profound impact on Paul, who later became the world’s greatest missionary. Even those who oppose you now may later turn to Christ.” – Oct. 17th entry in “The Best of the Bible”.

We have also the message of the thirteenth Century’s Saint Melchtilde’s, “The Three Hail Mary’s Devotion.”

The Enemies of Traditional America and the Constitution
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com. – Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011

When our Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution they studied all the past forms of government. They pursued American not European tradition, common sense, reason & natural law. In the past 100 years a strong movement arose in America to transform American constitutional government.*

You can identify them as Progressives, Liberals and, or Leftists. [Talk show host, Dennis Prager explains leftism to you almost daily.] It has also been called the welfare state, bureaucracy and the administrative state. We are now under progressivism via political correctness and a dead journalism.

“Their thought was greatly influenced by the doctrines of relativism and historicism – the denial of objective truth and the doctrine that “values” change over time. This rejection occurred over time. This rejection occurred in both the political right and the political left.” [Ordinary Americans and normal legalized U.S. citizens believe that all of this hog wash. Think of S.B. 48 and repealing DOMA.]

“Woodrow Wilson openly criticized the Declaration of Independence as outdated bunkum, complaining that “some citizens of this country have never got beyond this document signed in Philadelphia, July 4, 1776.” [The characteristics of Progressivism are its smugness, attitude of superiority, [the elite or lord] and knowing and telling what is best for ordinary folks.]

“Liberal Richard Rory … dismissed the Declaration’s natural law arguments as a “language game” that is no more true than another “language” that would promote slavery over freedom.

Modern Liberalism redefines equality and rights: Historian Richard Hofstadter, “No man who is as well abreast of modern science as the Fathers were of eighteenth-century science believes any longer in unchanging nature.”

John Dewey: Men are born as empty vessels, as nothing in themselves. The individual becomes a product of an historical context: “Social arrangements, laws, institutions … are means of creating individuals … all the things the Founders said human were born with – must be produced by the social order.” [Also, we are going to do away with the Ten Commandments and via S.B. 48 for change in order to accept homosexuality as normal.]

“The denial of human nature leads from an understanding of equality in terms of natural rights to an understanding of equality as something to be produced by government through unequal treatment. President Lyndon Johnson in 1965: “We seek … not just equality as a right and a theory as a fact and equality as a result.”

“In essence, “rights” have come to mean that people who are not as hardworking, as talented, as responsible, or as fortunate have rightful claims on the money and resources of others. For the Founding Fathers rights adhere to the individual. Liberal of view of rights is now assigned to group membership (minorities, women, farmers, etc.) and existing not prior to government but as government gifts. [Think of the Wall Street demonstrators.]

I attended a stimulating conference presented by Truly Catholics presents “Catholic Challenge or Catholic Crisis? The Laity’s Role” First talk:”Who’s in Charge Here, Anyway?” Hierarchy & Authority

These are excerpts on the first talk given by Michael Voris, STB, founder of St. Michael’s Media and RealCatholicTV.com at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 15 – 16, 2011.

The Nightmare of the Church

The danger of being focused on the battle and miss the love: The Church is our Lord’s mystical body of the Church… People know when you are in love. “The desire to be known intimately:” The hole needs to be filled by God who only satisfies.

Because we love Christ so much, that’s why it hurts. “Why does the condition of the Church hurt so much?” It hurts because you love our Lord. There is sadness in heaven for the pain of the Church. To know you are called to do and spread the faith. We have a job to evangelize. The power of the laity:

It is the maxim of Christianity that the innocent pay for the guilty! Look at the list [of things] that keeps us busy. To make me love more in the Church: What do you drop? Human strength and weakness:

Set aside an hour a day. Sit down and read Papal Encyclicals. The love of the Holy Spirit comes through them. Leo XIII – 1890 – “Catholics are born for combat.” Sapientie Christianae. Most encyclicals were written for bishops to read. Encyclical against modernism: Pope Pius X –Pascendi…

When you are in love and it starts to decrease, do you love the faith (Christ) simply not to do what you’re {ought} to do? Have you found a good spiritual book? Here is a St. Francis Xavier question. “What is the quickest way to hell?” The channel of grace flowed through Pontius Pilate without affecting him. It was the same way with Judas.

You must be a reservoir of grace. Being deeply in love with our Lord. The world was redeemed. When we fashion a world that needs God. What more can we do? To be like candles that burn themselves out completely giving light to others.

Ours is a demanding faith, to be totally 100% Catholic. Giving only ¾ loves: The nature of love is to give everything. We need to think in terms of where am I not loving enough of Christ? Money – time – to give specifically for our Lord, to convert ourselves. To study some aspect of the faith and immerse myself and be inspired by this saint.

Monday night for Jesus and find some time for him and we can jettison other things for him… Father Hardin, “Love God as he loves himself.” The Trinity is infinite. We get to be caught up in that love and contemplate like that. Go find something wonderful about the Incarnation or Trinity is first … just God. What does the mind of God think? God is infinite. God thinks about himself…The Son is the Word of the Father and the relationship between them. We are going to be in that for all eternity. We should be concentrating on it now at communion..

Background on Our Lady's Messengers

Background on Our Lady’s Messengers
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Friday, October 14, 2011

Ref. Knights of Columbus magazine “Columbia” Oct. 2011 – p. 14-6

“In the evening before the current Marian Prayer Program was launched, Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura at the Vatican, reflected on the meaning of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s apparitions and message. During his keynote address at the States Dinner, he described the cultural environment during the time or Our Lady’s apparitions from Dec. 9-12, 1531.

“Our Lady appeared on the continent of America at a time when many men were drifting from God and his life-giving law,” explained Cardinal Burke, a member of Bishops [Knights of Columbus] Council 10490 in St. Louis, Mo. “On the one hand, under a long and macabre leadership, the religion of the native Americans, the Aztecs, was increasingly by a diabolical worship which demanded constant and mass human sacrifice.

“On the other hand, the arrival and activity of European explorers in the same territory had developed into a conflict between Spanish and Native Americans, which threatened an increasingly massive destruction of human life and goods. In the context of so much and so great suffering and death, the Mother of God was sent to draw men once again to the one and only source of hope and life in the love and mercy of God the Father, made present in our midst by his incarnate Son.”

“The appearance of the Virgin Mary to humble Indian, a Christian convert named Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, soon changed the face of the continent. Our Lady appeared as a mestiza, or mixed race woman, who was pregnant with the Son of God, Mexico’s first bishop, Friar Juan de Zumarraga, and the native people comprehended the Gospel message contained in the symbol-rich image that was miraculously imprinted on Juan Diego’s tilma, or cloak. And inspired the message of divine love, some 9 million Native Americans were baptized from the time of the apparitions until the death of Bishop Zumarraga and Juan Diego in 1548.

“At the conclusion of a votive Mass in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Aug. 3 at the 129th Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus launched a new Marian Prayer Program. The choir of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception sang Totus Tuus, a choral work dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, as state deputies processed toward the altar carrying large, framed images of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

“Hundreds of copies of the image have been distributed and will be used for a two-year prayer program in which local councils will organize special prayer services at churches and other locations. The first year of the program will culminate with the second international Guadalupe Festival, scheduled to take place in Los Angeles in 2012, immediately prior to the 130th Supreme Convention in Anaheim, Calif.”

George H. Kubeck, undoubtedly, prayer is our most powerful weapon. Without it, we cannot win what Blessed Pope John Paul II described as the culture of death agenda in America. Also in the spirit of Venerable Michael McGivney we must resolve the challenge of how to deal with the Catholic-in-name-only politician [CINOP], both members and non-members. SIMPLY: CENSOR THE CINOP: STOP THE FRAUD OF USING THE CATHOLIC LABEL:

President Herman Cain

2011-10-11T14:38:00.000-07:00

President Herman Cain
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, October 11, 2011

If he wins the Republican primaries, he will be elected President of the United States. He is authentic, has character and charisma. It would be the best thing for America and particularly for millions of Black American families. Free at last from the plantation politics of the leftists.

Here are excerpts of an article written on “National Review Online” by Mona Charen on Herman Cain, September 27, 2011.

“In the Florida straw poll, Cain received a resounding victory with 37.1 percent of the vote – more than twice the percentage of his nearest competitor, Rick Perry, who received 15.4 percent.

“And it wasn’t that Republicans and conservatives were acting upon an affirmative action spirit – trying to prove that they too could pull the lever for a black guy. It’s that Herman Cain delivers a great speech, is willing to propose solutions commensurate with our problem, and possessed of a remarkably sunny personality.

“As the “Washington Examiner’s” Byron York reported, “It’s not an exaggeration to say that his power as an orator sealed the deal for hundreds of delegates. They believed Cain was speaking to them from the heart, and they were carried away by it. And it doesn’t hurt that Cain embodies the Horatio Alger rise to success that liberals dismiss as myth but conservatives still believe.

“Raised in pre-civil rights Georgia by working-class parents (his mother was a maid and his father worked as a janitor, a barber, and a chauffeur), Cain got a degree in mathematics from Morehouse College and then a master’s degree in computer science at Purdue. While in school he worked for the Navy in ballistics.

“Upon leaving the Navy, he entered the heart of corporate America, working first for the Coca-Cola Company, later for Pillsbury, and then Burger King. The division of Burger King he headed went from the least profitable to the most profitable in three years.

“He performed similar magic for Godfather’s Pizza, but in shorter time, turning the company to profitability in a mere 14 months. He served as chairman and later CEO of the National Restaurant Association and as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, before achieving the true pinnacle of human achievement with a syndicated newspaper column.

“Cain’s proposal to reform Social Security along the lines that Chile and 36 other nations have adopted is the sanest entitlement-policy prescription of the campaign thus far – and with Mitt Romney playing it safe and Rick Perry having taken so much for the Ponzi-scheme wording – likely to remain so.

"Cain’s “9-9-9” tax plan is similarly refreshing. Our 11,045-page tax code, barnacled by layer after layer of complexity and special-interest loopholes, is a drag on productivity and national sanity. A government-watchdog agency estimates that Americans spend 6.1 billion hours annually complying with the code. Something like Cain’s plan would cut the Gordian knot…”

Teacher Exposes Idiocy at Occupied Wall Street

In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Columbus Day, Monday, October 10, 2011

Ref: 1.The most recent report from Intercollegiate Studies. 2. ABC News Sunday – 8-9 A.M. with Nancy Pelosi, George F. Will etc. - 3. Dennis Prager, KLAC 890 Talk Show Host, - M – F, 9-12 Noon

Recall during the Cold War with Communist Russia, the many Communist front organizations. Most participants were called “useful idiots” for supporting the Commie programs. Then we had national suicide demonstrations for Unilateral Disarmament. Today we have occupied Wall Street demonstrations. For me, Occupied Wall Street demonstrates the collapse of liberal progressive public education particularly in the universities and the lost integrity of investigative journalism in America.

1.As you read this, consider that 16,000,000 will have just started the new college semester. And what will nearly all of these potential leaders of our economy be taught? That capitalism and free market economics have FAILED. – That the American experiment in self-government has FAILED. – That personal responsibility and prosperity are UNJUST. – That America WILL no longer and SHOULD no longer lead the rest of the world.

As a result, America has: - Faced the worst economy since the Great Depression. – Accumulated catastrophic debt that equals more than $500,000 per every household. Forced Standard and Poor’s to downgrade America’s credit rating for the first time in history – Allowed Big Government to move in on your healthcare decisions through ObamaCare.

2.Sound Bites: “Can’t solve our problems with austerity:” “Money Hungry Fascist Banksters:” “America is in distress and very upset about the future:” “Human needs over Corporate needs:” “One earth, one humanity, one loved:” The leftist blogs like Jesse from KOS are trying to create a positive narrative. Hermann Cain, “Don’t blame Wall Street … blame yourself.” Nancy Pelosi, “Support the message to the establishment; change has to happen; concerning the growing mob and occupying Wall Street and pitting Americans against Americans; It’s the American system, class warfare or fair share; enduring American values – fairness.

3.A report from the site identifies as one-third Communists and Socialists; one-third college students; and one-third Hippies: They want to make the national debt null and void and start over again. They don’t know basic economics. They hate money and national sovereignty. They hate America. This will be an education for all America. Watch, however as the corrupt Media twists it into something positive; for they are also products of our educational system.
George H. Kubeck,

P.S. To explain what happened to our public school system during the last 36 years in California, let’s start off with the Rodda Act- SB. 164 signed by Governor Jerry Brown in 1975. His Chief of Staff was Davis. The law legalized liberal industrial type unionism in public education. Over the years it eliminated the influence of independent type teachers like conservatives, republicans and libertarians. I was member of the NEA, CTA and WTA when they were professional teachers. (1963-1968). HELP to rectify all of the above with ballot petitions “Californians Against Special Interests,” 19002 Irvine Blvd. #108, Tustin, CA 92780

Stop the Prostitution - Part 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, October 8, 2011

This is a most serious matter. The committee is about stopping the prostitution of Catholic identity in the public sector by Catholic Label Politicians. The mindset that they can define Catholicism on their own terms with the help of false theologians is wrong. INFORM - EDUCATE ALL PARISHIONERS.

Also the Catholic Label Politicians’ house rules are those set by believers themselves is a false and anathema for it mocks the reception of Holy Communion* and contrary to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Catholic Label Politicians are promoting absolute evils like abortion-on-demand (infanticide), the gay agenda including same-sex marriage, embryonic –stem cell research, euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Within their religion, the Mormons, the Evangelicals and Baptists would not put up with this fraud. Why should Catholics in their own religion?

Who are these Catholic Label Politicians in California and throughout the country? When you Google “Catholic in name only Politicians” you will come up with the mug shots of many Catholic Label Politicians at “The O Percenters ‘Bad Catholic politicians’” You tube. It is not completely up to date with Ex-Governor Arnold Swatzennegger, Governor Jerry Brown and Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom and many others missing. THE CINOP PROMOTES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA AND U.S.A.

*THE EUCHARIST

“The Eucharist is the heart and center or our worshipping life, but in order to be this center it must have a many-layered whole in which to live. Eucharist presupposes Baptism; it presupposes continual recourse to the sacrament of penance. The Holy Father has emphasized this most strongly in his encyclical “Redemptor Homini”.

“The first element of the Good News, he stresses, was “Repent!” “The Christ who invites us to the Eucharistic meal is always the same Christ who exhorts us to penance, continually saying ‘Repent!’ (IV. 20). Where penance disappears, the Eucharist is no longer discerned and, as the Lord’s Eucharist, is destroyed.

“But Eucharist also presupposes marriage and ordination, the social and public structure of the Church. It presupposes personal prayer, family prayer, and the paraliturgical prayer of the parish community. I would just like to mention two of the richest and deepest prayers which are able to draw us again and again into the vast river of Eucharistic prayer: the Station of the Cross and the Rosary.

“One of the reasons why, nowadays, we are so discountenanced by the appeal of Asiatic or apparently Asiatic religious practices is that we have forgotten these forms of prayer. The Rosary does not call for intense conscious efforts which would render it impossible but invites us to enter into the rhythm of quiet, peaceable bringing us peace and giving a name to this quietness: Jesus, the blessed fruit of the womb of Mary.

“Mary who cherished the living word in the recollected quiet of her heart and thus was privileged to become the Mother of the incarnate Word, is the abiding pattern for all genuine worship, the Star which illumes even a dark heaven and shows us the way. May she, the Mother of the Church, intercede for us so that we may be enabled to fulfill more and more the Church’s highest task: the glorification of the living God, from whom comes mankind’s salvation.” Oct. 8th entry in J. Cardinal Ratzinger’s classic, Co-Workers of the Truth. - G. H. Kubeck

Prostituting Catholic Identity in the Public Sector – Part 1
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, October 6, 2011

Within their religion, the Mormons, the Evangelicals and Baptists would not put up with this. Why should Catholics?* let’s check out the Editorial and the letters to the editor of “The Catholic World Report” – Oct. 2011.

Writing for the Huffington Post, author Julian Guthrie wonders “how progressive Democrats remain Catholic.” The answer is, she concludes, that they define Catholicism on their own terms:

“… When I look at prominent Catholic politicians with liberal social agendas and wonder how they attend Mass on Sunday and legislate something very different on Monday, I have my answer. Catholicism, a club with magisterial rituals, good deeds, arcane teachings, and more than one billion adherents, is far from monolithic.

“The house rules that apply are those set by believers themselves. These are the everyday Catholics who may honor their pope but disagree with papal positions, and who hold their faith close but have disdain for much of the dogma. The Catholics who fill the nation’s pews share something with the politicians at the podium: they believe that resistance and reverence can go together like bread and wine.

The Legacy of Cuomo Catholicism: Here are 3 letters to the editor:

The title of your August/September editorial, “Destruction from Within,” was more prophetic than you probably realized. Our problems are indeed from within and unfortunately many have their seeds in an incompetent hierarchy. Public scandal is a sin and the failure of the American hierarchy to call out so-called Catholic politicians for their anti-Catholic policies is a disservice to us all, and a harbinger of the disaster to come for our Church. Robert H. Kammer, Rockville, Maryland

“The Legacy of Cuomo Catholicism” would be better stated as, “The Legacy of Weak-Bishop Catholicism.” When the bishops sat on the sideline and let John F. Kennedy and other Democrats thumb their noses at the Church, as they do to this day, that was when the “Destruction from Within” began. Bob McKissick, Wausau, Wisconsin

The Church has always had her theological prostitutes. What is astounding today is that so many of them – lay and ordained alike – are proud to ply their trade in public. It is bad enough that politicians like the Cuomos and Pelosi act as if they are theologians and preach their partisan preferences in the guise of Church teaching. What’s worse is that the Church tolerates her bishops giving Holy Communion to Nancy Pelosi and Andrew Cuomo and his live-in girl friend as if public scandal, promotion of abortion, and the creation of “gay marriage” are quite all right with the Catholic Church.

Perhaps the Church distinguishes between the serious wrong but “serious” theologians like Charles Curran (who ultimately get the boot) and the seriously wrong but unserious, merely partisan politicians who preach the gospel according to the Democratic Party... Dan Sullivan, Arlington, Virginia.

Saving Nancy Pelosi from Planned Parenthood

Saving Nancy Pelosi from Planned Parenthood

In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, October 5, 2011

It is also about saving her soul!* In some of her comments in the past she seems to be spaced-out. “We have to pass this bill [Obama Care] so that we know what was in it.”

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, now the Minority Leader for Democrats in the House following the 2010 elections, calls cutting funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business a ‘HORROR.”

“Let’s hope that they’re not playing games with us – and now we are getting into new games,” Pelosi said, when asked by CNSNews.com how committed she would be to stopping a provision to defund of Planned Parenthood.

“Why don’t we come back and have another press conference after they say what they are going to do,” said Pelosi. “Because I think it’s a waste of your time and my time to speculate on the HORRORS that they could come up with-because we know they are endless and we could be here a long time.”

Matthew Archbold at the Creative Minority Report, a pro-life Catholic blog, guffawed over her response. “Sooo … defunding Planned Parenthood would be a “HORROR?” he said. “What kind of sick twisted mind thinks that way?”

“You know what the real HORROR is? Babies are being torn apart every day by the thousands and the party of death is willing to shut down the entire government in order to keep footing the bill for their Big Abortion buddies. That’s a horror,” he said.

A. Let’s check out some old history on Planned Parenthood. “This heinous group has killed millions of children in its abortion mills over the past several decades since the most infamous Supreme Court decision in history, Roe v. Wade, in 1973 – was founded by the racist and eugenist Margaret Sanger in 1921 in Brooklyn with the name “American Birth Control League” which became a part of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) in 1942. In 2006 Planned Parenthood brutally killed 289,750 unborn children in their mother’s wombs. Even as America’s abortion rate is going down, Planned Parenthood performs more abortions each year.”

B. Rep. Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican and chairman of the House Committee On Oversight and investigation has written a letter [September 15th] to Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood.
“Pursuant to Rules X and XI of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Committee on Energy and Commerce is examining the institutional practices and policies of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and its affiliates, and it handling of federal funding,” Stearns writes. “That Committee has questions about the politics in place and actions undertaken by PPFA and its affiliates relating to its use of federal funding and its compliance with federal restrictions on the funding of abortion.”

C. Heritage Foundation blog “The Foundry” by Mary Francis Boyle, July 9, 2011. – “Planned Parenthood Federation of America has gotten itself into a bunch of trouble this year. It all started with the series of “Live Action videos” revealing the willingness of several Planned Parenthood affiliates to clandestinely assist sex-traffickers exploiting minor girls. How documented misuse of federal health care and family planning funds have led multiple states to defund the organization entirely…

George H. Kubeck – *Nancy Pelosi voted against the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban (108th), and against the Marriage Amendment Act- [DOMA] (109th), and prostitutes’ Catholic identity and beliefs in the public sector.

In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, October 03, 2011

Let’s have a breadth of fresh air and common sense with Pope Benedict XVI’s article written in 1983. [It is in that classic book by Cardinal Ratzinger, Co-Workers of the Truth, Sept. 27th entry.]

“Ninety years have elapsed since Pope Leo XIII issued the encyclical “Rerum Novarum”, which has become the “Magna Carta of Christian Social Work”, as Pius XI called it.

“This encyclical provides a Christian answer to the social question of the Marxist interpretation of mankind and of society. The struggle of the oppressed against their oppressors is for Marxism the whole content of history and the way to liberation, to the paradise of a classless world.

“As a Christian, the Pope bases his argument on a radically different concept: “Precisely the opposite is true”, he replied to the idea of saving the world by means of a class struggle. “On the contrary, the Creator ordered all things toward peace and mutual harmony … Capital is oriented to work to capital.”

“To the atheistic concept of a struggle, the Pope proposes solidarity as the Christian standard. Solidarity – that includes justice as its central demand. We are solidarity as its central demand. We are solidaristic only when we give to others what is rightfully theirs by reason of their creatureliness, their humanity.

“For us, therefore, the foundation of all economic and social relationships is not confrontation but charity and cooperation. Confrontation is destruction. Violence solves no problems. Pope Leo says in this regard: “Constant struggle breeds barbarism and confusion. Today we can see the truth of this statement demonstrated all over the world.”

“Constant conflict barbarizes humanity, barbarizes the world. It destroys men interiorly, and this interior destruction leads, with incontestable logic, to exterior destruction. It follows, then, that the great social achievements, the gradual construction of a system of social justice, do not owe their existence to the program of Karl Marx, whose disciples wanted, not reform, but a progressive deterioration that would pave the way for their paradise. What are we to conclude from all this?

“To the concept of a class struggle and its inhumane utopias we are to oppose the fundamental principle of solidarity and justice. The decision as to what is right or not right is not to be made lightly. Respect for what is right is the basis of every human community. Without it, there is, in the long run, no respect for humanity itself and no preservation of human dignity.”

George H. Kubeck

P.S. Class warfare is a European sick idea. The Wall Street Protest that is going on today in America is a tragedy of public education and honest journalism. Karl Marx is alive and well in our public universities. They have brainwashed our students who spew out their leftist hog wash. SHAME ON THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY!

We have a mindset among many of the elite in California and Canada that is not based on science but on political correctness and is contrary to common sense and natural law. Here is a news breaking story from Canada which is absolutely pathetic and will not stand in this country.

National Post apologizes for pro-family ad, donates proceeds to gay activist group

September 30, 2011 (LIfeSiteNews.com) – The Canadian National Post, which until the advent of SUN news network was thought to be the most conservative national mainstream media outlet in the country, has shocked by apologizing for running a pro-family advertisement. Moreover the National Post says it will be donating the thousands of dollars paid for the ad by the pro-family group to a homosexual activist group.

The ad, sponsored by the Institute for Christian Values, depicted a large picture of a little girl with the header: “PLEASE! DON’T CONFUSE ME.” Below the photo, the youngster said, “I’M A GIRL. DON’T TEACH ME TO QUESTION IF I’M A BOY, TRANSSEXUAL, TRANGENDERED, INTERSEXED OR TWO SPIRITED.”

THE AD SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED THE TORONTO DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD’S POLICY OF FORBIDDING PARENTS TO OPT OUT OF ITS PROHOMOSEXUAL CURRICULUM.

In its published apology, the National Post editors wrote: “The fact that we will not be publishing this ad again represents a recognition on our part that publishing it in the first place was a mistake. The National Post would like to apologize unreservedly to anyone who was offended by it. We will be taking steps to ensure that in the future our procedures for vetting the content of advertising will be strictly adhered to.

“The Post will also be donating the proceeds from the advertisement to an organization that promotes the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people."

Looking for a Few Good Men and Women
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, October 1, 2011

Rome, Nov. 20, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Speaking at the opening of the 23rd plenary assembly for Pontifical Council for the Laity, the president of the Council, Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, warned, “The idea of creating a ‘new man’ completely detached from the Judeo-Christian tradition, a new ‘world order,’ and new ‘global ethic,’ is gaining ground. [This is crazy.]

The cardinal denounced the “dictatorship of relativism,” rampant in Western societies, in which there is a growing “anti-Christian attitude” that makes “attacks on Christians, and particular on Catholics, pass off as politically correct.”

Speaking of Christians today he said, “Our true problem is not being a minority, but having voluntarily become marginal, irrelevant, because of our lack of COURAGE, so that we will be left alone, because of our mediocrity.” “For Christians,” Cardinal Rylko added, “the moment has arrived to free themselves from a false inferiority complex… to be valiant witnesses for Christ.”

This is, he said the “hour of the laity,” to take on their responsibility in the diverse fields of public life, from politics to the promotion of the life and family, from work to the economy, from education to the formation of youth.” … “Whoever wants to live and act according to the Gospel of Christ has to pay a price, even in the highly liberal societies of the West,” he said.

“Gender Mainstreaming”: A Silent Revolution Dismantling Civilization

November 25, 2008 (LIfeSiteNews.com) – “Gender Mainstreaming,” and ideology that proposes to erase the foundational unit of western society, the natural family, is being infiltrated into laws and institutions around the world under the rubric of “equality” legislation (S.B.48) and guidelines, says author Gabrielle Kuby.

Kuby, the author of a 2003 book, endorsed by the former Cardinal Ratzinger, warning Christian parents of the danger of the Harry Potter book series, has written on the threat of ideologues on the far left who are working to create a “new man” who can arbitrarily decide whether he is a man, a woman or some other “gender” unrelated to the natural distinctions of biology. “According to them,” she writes, “there are not two sexes, but six or more, depending on sexual preference... [This is also crazy and sick.]

Kuby’s contention is supported by John Smeaton, head of the UK’s Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, who wrote this weekend that people in Europe [and U.S.A.] who adhere to traditional Judeo-Christian values and ideas are under threat by anti-family ideologues working to enforce their anti-family policies and silence dissent? “Pro-life and pro-family campaigners,” he wrote. “Must expect to see publication of documents, funded by the European Union, which promote abortion, euthanasia and other anti-life and anti-family practices – with a special emphasis on zero tolerance for dissent…

“We are never alone surrounded with the Saints. Find a shelter in the Community of the Saints. Christians live in the prayers of the Saints: The walls between heaven and earth are like glass.

“Contemplation and giving the fruit of your contemplation to others… We are all called to be Contemplative – called to be Saints.

“Focus on 3 things: Joy - Today’s Saint and Martyr Wenceslas was a joyful Saint… Joy flows from knowing God and His love. G.K. Chesterton, “Man is no more himself when joy is part of him.”…

“When we are gifted with so much love and grace, we are bound to share this with others. [St. Thomas Aquinas is usually given credit for the following phrase.] Contemplare et contemplata aliis trader] – “To contemplate and give others the fruits of your contemplation.”… Founded the contemplative nuns: They pray for us.

“The power of prayer; God wants to use our prayers to accomplish great needs in the world. St. Thomas Aquinas, “Our privilege is to serve and love God.” [More is wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.]

“Pope Pius V was a Dominican. He called for the praying of the Rosary for victory in a historic event in the battle of Lepanto Oct. 7, 1571. Outnumbered we won and lost 5,000 and the Ottoman Turkish Muslims lost 30,000. On that day we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary.

“Come to be your true self through prayer. Accomplish his will in us. Sometimes words are inadequate.

“St. Catherine of Sienna was the busiest person in the world. She spent three years of prayer in her own room. Then God told her to go into the world. Do God’s will! Note her mother had 24 children.

“A third way: Study the faith in order to share it with others. How important it is for each of us to be what God wants us to be! No one else can take our place and it will not be done.

“The laity can go into areas which we [religious] cannot go. A call to which only you can respond.

“I will have Thyself.” “Only Thyself.” This was St. Thomas Aquinas response to Jesus when offered a reward for having written rightly.

“We are in union with Christ and support each other and Our Church. Profess together. Reclaim our culture for Christ.”

George Soros - Fact or Fiction

George Soros - Fact or Fiction*
In pursuit of the truth - www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, September 29, 2011

“The Colorado Miracle” wasn’t fiction. It was fact. The success of the “The Secretary of State Project (SoSPP)” wasn’t fiction but fact. Do you remember the passage of so-called Marijuana Health Laws in California and Arizona? Billionaire George Soros’s money made it possible. I wish we had this billionaire on the side of traditional America. Soros wants to change America into a European one and has the money to harm us. It is the secular Soros religion and he has many rich useful idiots who believe in him and support his anti-religious and socialist agenda.

We must study his successes in the past in order to prevent disasters occurring in the coming 2012 elections. Here is an example of an outstanding Soros success.

“The Colorado Miracle” Everyone in the room knew that the phrase referred to a stunning political development generated virtually overnight by a chain of Soros-funded holders told the tale. In October 2004, Republicans held two U.S. Senate seats, 5 of 7 congressional seats, the governorship, the secretary of state office and both houses of the legislature.

When the 2008 elections scarcely two months away ended, the exact opposite would be true, and Colorado would have been changed from a red [Republican] state to a blue [Democratic] one brief election cycle. p. 2

Now let’s take a look at what happened in Minnesota in 2008 with Soros’s “Secretary of State Project”.

“When Republican incumbent U.S. Senator Norm Coleman finished 725 vote ahead of Democratic challenger Al Franken, the thin margin of victory triggered an automatic recount. With Richie (Democratic Secretary of State) presiding, Coleman’s lead gradually dwindled in the ensuing weeks as a result of what journalist Matthew Vadum described as a long series of “appalling irregularities” that invariably benefited Franken.

For example, during the recount process a number of ballots were suddenly “discovered” in an election judge’s car; one Minnesota county similarly “discovered” 100 new votes for Franken and claimed that a clerical error was responsible for the fact that they hadn’t been counted before; another county tallied 171 more votes than it had recorded on Election Day; yet another county reported 133 fewer votes than its voting machines had originally tabulated. “Almost every time new ballots materialized, or tallies were updated or corrected, Franken benefitted,” writes Vadum.

In addition, at least 393 convicted felons voted illegally in two particular Minnesota counties. By the time the recount (and a court challenge by Coleman) ended in April, 2009, Franken held a 312-vote lead and in June was officially declared the victor.” p. 33-4

P.S. Note also in Minnesota the work of ACORN in turning in many fraudulent registered voters. Since honest journalism is dead, the possibility of Obama’s reelection exists. Also, teacher unions throughout the country support Democratic candidates. In California, the compulsory dues are about a thousand dollars each year. We need to push for vouchers and chartered schools.

Most Reverend Dominic M Luong, D.D., M.S. Auxiliary Bishop of Orange County, “In the public square we have materialism and relativism. I am a different person in private… Ask God’s grace to make public affirmation of our faith. That is why we are gathered today.”

Preface: Called by Cardinal John O’Connor Mary Assumpta Long O.P. helped start the “Sisters for Life.” She moved on to found and be the Prioress General of the Dominican Sisters of the Eucharist located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In 1997 she, along with three other Sisters, founded the Dominican Sisters of Mary of the Eucharist. In these 14 years, the Community has grown from these four Sisters to 100. Their average age is 28 years. They have 37 novices.

The Sisters currently teach in a dozen schools located in eight dioceses in seven states, and continues, yearly, to send more young women Religious into various Catholic schools across the nation. Currently the Sister have three missions in California: Loomis, Sacramento and San Francisco.

It would be a good idea for Catholics and other Christians to purchase the DVD of Sister Long’s talk and have a discussion of it afterwards. In some ways, it can be used as a presentation to join the local Dominican laity. What follows are selected excerpts of Mother Mary Assumpta Long O.P. talk:

"[Each of us is called to accomplish great things. Walk on the water whenever Christ asks you.] What to say at a Catholic Prayer Breakfast? We need to circle the wagons around all the Catholics in the world. To fight the power of evil in the world:
I got the idea from the book of Joshua. When Moses died it was the task of Joshua to lead the people. He went through the whole history of salvation. God delivered them from their enemies. Serve the Lord completely and sincerely: As for me and my household we will serve the Lord."

"Recall the Lord and what he has given us: fullness of faith: sacraments: Sacred Scripture: Tradition: Magisterium: We believe in the Community of Saints. We need to remain Church in our covenant today. To change the culture: For all he has given to us in our faith. It helps to look at Joshua."

"Joshua was chosen by Moses along with 11 other men. Ten believed the nearby inhabitants were too strong. They threatened to kill Joshua and Caleb. But it is the Lord’s will. Only Joshua and Caleb remained alive. Keep the law. Don’t swerve to the right or left. Be fearless. We can be like Joshua and Caleb. What made them so strong?"

"Moses put a veil over his face. The Lord spoke to him face to face. Joshua was a contemplative. We too can do great things for the Lord. Strong prayer life and united with the Saints in heaven: Reference Pope Benedict XVI’s writings..."

The Good News and Bad News for our Bishop

2011-09-25T15:25:00.001-07:00

The Good News and Bad News for our Bishop
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, September 25, 2011

The Good News: Bishop Tod D. Brown has authorized The Bush Law Firm and other lay advisors to the diocese to explore possible engagement and purchase of this property. I beg to differ with many and sincerely believe that the purchase by the Orange County Catholic Diocese of Rev. Robert Schuller’s property including the Crystal Cathedral is a wise decision.

Having visited the Hospitality Center at the Crystal Cathedral a few times in the past, I noted the three statues on the second floor of the building. They are Norman Vincent Peale, Bishop Fulton Sheen and Reverend Robert Schuller. Without doubt the achievement and legacy of all the buildings are that of Robert Schuller. But I believe that in his heart he wants to transfer that legacy to Jesus Christ. We believe that the Roman Catholic Church is the one that Jesus Christ founded.

I have a great admiration for Reverend Robert Schuller. During the 1980’s, I listened to him and his guests many times. They gave motivational, inspirational and spiritual talks. I believe that thousands of Catholics throughout the country sent donations to his ministry and did not consider themselves members of his Church. Thousands also participated when they saw the religious presentations at Christmas and Easter. With the purchase; let God’s will be done.

The Bad News: It was a serious mistake by any pastor in the Orange County Diocese not to give permission to their flock to collect signatures on the petition S.B. 48 to put it on the ballot for Californians to vote on. Let me begin this way: S.B. 48 is not based on science, common sense and natural law. The legislature is not upholding traditional American values. We live in a totalitarian state where the leadership wants to change us into PC zombies. To Hades with political correctness:

I am a retired 23 veteran public school teacher. (1986) S.B. 48 prostitutes the integrity, conscience-protection, and good character of the public school teacher. Does anyone care about teacher integrity? Can you figure out the silence of the PTA organizations?

The prayer intentions of Pope Benedict XVI for September are: Teachers: That all teachers may know how to communicate the love of truth and instill authentic moral and spiritual values.

Also Cardinal Sean O’Malley in an address to the legal profession called physician-assisted suicide “a corruption of the medical profession and pointed out that it violated Hippocratic Oath.” IN THE SAME MANNER, S.B. 48 IS “THE CORRUPTION OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION.”

S.B. 48 is flawed thinking and introduces ideas which are confusing to the young and to the scientific knowledge that we have of child development. For example, there is transgender. [Trapped in the wrong body] This does occur in 8 out of 100,000 boys and girls. S.B. ignores normal child development, the time of gender permanence etc. A child is not a miniature adult.

To correct the mistake, Bishop Brown can have the dissident priests collect signatures with their parishioners for S.B. 48 at the Orange County Prayer Breakfast this coming Wednesday morning.

The Catholic Identity Crisis

The Catholic Identity Crisis
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, Sept. 24, 2012

I took a six-month subscription to www.RealCatholicTV.com and Michael Voris had this to say:

“There is a huge monumental fight going on inside the Catholic Church these days … in case you haven’t notice. And if you haven’t noticed … it will be pretty difficult to understand and process events that are going on. Unlike most neat and tidy wars where there are usually two sides… in this case there are three. And this is what makes things so difficult to get a grip on.

1.)In one corner of the triangle… the liberal progressive modernist gang. The provocateurs with their dingbat theology about women priests and rejection of anything traditional. These are the folks who think the Church suddenly sprang into being in the middle of the 20th century and should accommodate the world whenever possible.

2.)In the second corner of the Catholic Triangle are those who actually believe in God… at the least the God that Our Blessed Lord came to real to us. They believe everything right down the line that the Church teaches… that the Pope is the successor of St. Peter and is infallible when speaking on matters of faith and morals. This is the crowd that actually deserves the name Catholic because … well… they ARE.

3.)Then there is the third group … the vague and ambivalent crowd. There are a LOT of people in this corner. Here you will find the talk the talk but not walk the walk crowd… those leaders who for a variety of reasons … SOUND like the traditional crowd but allow much of what dingbat theology crowd pushes.

And this crowd is precisely where the heart of the problems is. The group … clergy and laity … acts or may actually believe they are faithful … but turn a blind eye to all the corruption and evil and sin in the Church when it comes to actually doing something about it.

Now the reasons for this are varied. Some Church leaders … again clergy and laity … think they are doing the right thing. They call it prudent by allowing and/or agreeing with homosexual masses… pro-abortion Catholic politicians to receive Holy Communion … emphasizing so-called social justice concerns to the detriment of spiritual concerns.

And while they allow much of this malfeasance to exist and prosper and flourish … all in the name of charity … they get downright nasty with virtually any Catholic from the faithful crowd. They support … and sometimes promote smear campaigns …threaten like bullies…wield whatever ecclesiastical weapons they can … in short … anything they can do to bring down those horrible tradition minded Catholics to heel.

In this crowd you will find every stripe of contemporary Catholic imaginable… The problem with this third group … and they are definitely the majority in the Protestant-friendly liturgical abusive watered down and theologically malformed crowd is that they LOOK very Catholic and often SOUND very Catholic because quite often they actually are.

Theirs is a new type of Catholicism that has been banged into the heads of almost anyone raised in the post Vatican II Church. Problem is … a large part of went before the mid-20th century has been jettisoned or better yet … just ignored. This has created a war for the soul of the Catholicism and there are no signs that this war is anywhere near achieving a truce.”

GOD love you. I’m Michael Voris

Cardinal S. O’Malley, Archbishops T. Dolan and C. Chaput
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, September 24, 2011

1. Archbishop Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote in a September 20 letter to President Barack Obama. The Administration’s assault on DOMA will “precipitate a national conflict between Church and State of enormous proportions and to the detriment of both institutions…

Dolan especially objected to the Justice Department’s legal arguments that equate those in favor of DOMA to racists. It is “particularly upsetting,” he said, when the Administration attributes to those who support DOMA “a motivation rooted in prejudice and bias.

It is especially wrong and unfair to equate opposition to redefining marriage with either intentional or willfully racial discrimination, as your Administration insists on doing,” he said. He underscored the Church’s position recognizing “the immeasurable personal dignity and equal worth of all individuals, including those with same-sex attraction” and said “we reject all hatred and unjust treatment against any person.

“While all persons merit our full respect, no other relationships provide for the common good what marriage between husband and wife provides. The law should reflect that reality.” “Push the reset button on your Administration’s approach to DOMA.” [Article taken from www.calcatholic.com - Sept. 23, 2011]

2. Archbishop Charles Chaput, “If they don’t believe what the church teaches, they’re not really Catholic.” Chaput has been an outspoken proponent for pro-abortion politicians not receiving Communion. [The CINOP, if he has any integrity should on his own not receive Communion.]

3. Cardinal Sean O’Malley condemns efforts to legalize euthanasia in Massachusetts. Dignity 2012 is a pro-euthanasia group which seeks to legalize assisted-suicide in Mass. Addressing member of the legal profession, for whom a Mass is held every year, O’Malley called physician assisted suicide “ a corruption of the medical profession,” and pointed that it violated the Hippocratic Oath. [In like manner California’s SB.48 corrupts the teaching profession.]

George H. Kubeck

P.S. What does all of the above mean? It’s crunch time! The charade by Catholic label politicians is over. It’s a message to Catholic American voters and to the CINOP throughout the nation whether you are registered Democratic, Republican or Independent. It is impossible to vote for a leader and this kind of political party with their national agenda. The Catholic vote in 2008 was 53% for Obama. The Catholic vote is a swing vote in Presidential elections and got Obama elected.

This will not happen again. We have an opportunity in 2012 to decisively defeat much of the culture of death agenda and their supporters. On our side we have common sense, reason and natural law, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Magisterium and the bishops. Catholic writers need to talk about the Catholic-label politicians. Censor the CINOP: End the fraud and the use of the Catholic-label.

CINOP definition: A Catholic politician or person who not only promotes publicly pro-abortion, (partial-birth abortion, infanticide), but also same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, euthanasia and assisted-suicide. All of these are absolutely and intrinsically evil. We can disagree and fight about the prudential issues.

Atheism is Such a Waste of Time

Atheism is Such a Waste of Time
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Friday, September 23, 2011

Preface: Atheism is such a waste of time particularly for young people. It’s the secular religion of fools. Sadly, many of the advocates of the culture of death in America have succumbed to it. I am thinking of the programs of the ACLU; and immigrant and now U.S. citizen George Soros with his agenda.

However, we have writer Edward Feser with his book The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism. We will share poignant excerpts from the book reviewed by New Oxford Review, Sept, 2011.

The author has a response to the “New Atheism “of Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens. Edward Feser is not above belittling the atheists, stating that one is “ almost tempted to think Dawkin’s research for the philosophical chapters of his book consisted entirely of quick thumbing through Philosophy for Dummies …” Harris shuns Aquinas and seems to “dismiss the great religious thinkers of the West without having read them...

While asserting that “atheist chic is now,” Feser exposes atheism as the “ultimate superstition” with a goofy catechism that preaches environmentalism and animal-rights activism. He also takes on secularism, a snobbish creed that worships science, abhors religion and traditional values, and ignores the fact that “Western religious tradition itself very firmly rests on and embraces reason and science.”

A conversational, snappy pace propels lessons from Plato and Aristotle, showing that “reason can reveal to us that there is a God, that we have immortal souls, and that there is a natural moral law.”… The great medieval Scholastic realist, St. Thomas Aquinas, supported Aristotelian logic for God’s existence…“Abandoning Aristotelianism, as the foundation of modern philosophy did, was the greatest single mistake ever made in the entire history of Western thought.” …

Traditional morality, based on natural law, is shown to rest on an “analysis of human nature entailed by classical philosophy.” Homosexuality may exist like other deformities, but it is not natural. Feser argues that supposed genetic basis for homosexuality is irrelevant since the unnatural character of a homosexual act does not conform, in the Aristotelian sense, “to the essence or nature of a thing.” (Plato and Aristotle both condemned homosexual acts.) Marriage is defined as “an objective metaphysical fact determined by its final cause, inherently procreative, and thus inherently heterosexual.”

FEDER BEGS READERS TO NOTE THAT “AT NO POINT SO FAR IN MY EXPOSITION OF NATURAL LAW THEORY IN GENERAL OR ITS APPROACH TO SEXUAL MORALITY IN PARTICULAR HAVE I APPEALED TO SCRIPTURE, OR TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS TEACHING, OR EVEN TO A PURELY OF PHILOSOPHICAL NOTION OF GOD.”…

“THE LAST SUPERSTITION” FLOWS WITH BONHOMIE AND GUSTO SIMILAR TO A RINGING ORATION…

President Obama in the Twilight Zone

2011-09-19T16:34:00.000-07:00

President Obama in the Twilight Zone*
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, September 19, 2011

*We close with Mark Steyn’s article in OC Register, Sept. 18, 2011 … But not to worry on Thursday night, the president told a Democratic fundraiser in Washington that the “Pass My Jobs Bill” would create 1.9 million new jobs. What kind of jobs is created by this kind of magical thinking? Well, they’re “green jobs” – and, if we know anything about “green jobs” is that they take a lot of green.

…German taxpayers subsidize “green jobs” in their wind-power industry to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars per worker per year: $250,000 per green job would pay for a lot of real jobs, even in the European Union. Last year, it was revealed that the Spanish government paid $800,000 for every “green job” on a solar panel assembly line. I had assumed that this must be a world record in terms of tax payer subsidy per fraudulent “green job.”…

The Obama administration’s $38.6 billion “clean technology” program was supposed to “create or save” 65,000 jobs. Half the money has been spent – 17.2 billion – and we have 3,545 jobs to show for it. That works out to an impressive $4,851,904.09 per “green job.” A world record! Take that, you loser Spaniards! USA! USA!
So, based on previous form, Obama’s prediction of 1.9 million new jobs will result in the creation of 92,00 new jobs, mostly in the Federal Department of Green Jobs Grant Applications.

Just to put it in perspective, the breezy $447 billion price tag for the “Pass My Jobs Bill jobs bill is about 20 times higher than the most recent Greek government deficit currently threatening the stability of the entire Eurozone. Indeed, Greece projected 2011 deficit - $24 Billion at last count – is a little more than half of just one of Obama’s boutique, niche “green jobs” programs. As Churchill almost said, never in the field of human con tricks has so much been owed by so many to so little effect…

But back on the campaign trail the chanting goes on, last week’s election results in Nevada and New York withstanding. America has the lowest employment since the early Eighties, the lowest property ownership since the Mid-Sixties, the highest deficit-to-GDP ratio since the Second World War, the worst long-term unemployment since the Great Depression, the highest government dependency rate at all time, [ 45 million on food stamps] and the highest debt mountain in the history of the planet...

In my new book, I point out that Big Government leaves everything else smaller – and, when it’s bigger than anything ever attempted, the everything else is going to be way smaller. .. Look at your home, look at your savings, and figure out what’ll be left after another four years of “stimulus.”

“I love you!” squeals the Obammybopper in North Carolina. “I love you, too” says Obama. “But …” But: You gotta take this half-trillion dollar bill, and the next one, and the one after that. Like Al Gore says in “Love Story,” love means never having to say you’re sorry.

George H. Kubeck, Don’t forget the other fraud, Censor the CINOP: End the Fraud and Catholic Label. Pray that journalists in Catholic magazines will at last focus in on Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Governors Jerry Brown and Andrew Cuomo for supporting same-sex marriage, besides abortion throughout the country.

Mark Steyn's Obama Jobs Bill Twilight Zone*

Mark Steyn’s OBAMA JOBS BILL Twilight Zone*
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.come – Sunday, September 18, 2011

The president has taken to the campaign trail to promote his American Jobs Act. That’s a good name for: an act. “Pass this bill now!” he declared 24 times at a stop in Raleigh, N.C., and 18 times in Columbus, Ohio, and the act is sufficiently effective that, three years in to the Vapidity of Hope, the President can still find crowds to chant along with him: “Pass this bill now!”

Not all supporters are content merely to sing along with the prompter-in-chief. In North Carolina, a still devoted hopeychanger cried out, “I love you!”

“I love you, too,” said the president. “But …” Oh, here it comes, you’ve got to help me pass this bill!” You’d be surprised how effective this line is: I tried it on Darlene in the back of my Ford Edsel when I was 17, and we didn’t get home till two in the morning.

Pass this bill now, of I’ll say “Pass this bill now!” another dozen times! With this latest inspiration, Obama has taken the post-modern phase of democratic politics to a whole new level. “Pass this jobs bill”? Simply as a matter of humdrum reality, there is no bill, it won’t create any jobs, and it will be paid for with money we don’t have.

But the smartest president in history has calculated that, if he says the same four monosyllable over and over, a non-existent bill to create non-existent jobs with non-existent money will be another legislative triumph in the grand tradition of his first stimulus (the original Dumb And Dumber to the sequel’s Stimulus And Stimulusser).

The estimated cost of the non-bill is just shy of half a trillion dollars. Gosh, it seems like only yesterday that Washington was in the grip of a white knuckle, clenched teeth showdown over whether a debt ceiling deal could be reached before the alleged looming deadline. When the deal was triumphantly unveiled at the 11th hour, it was revealed that our sober, prudent, fiscally responsible masters had gotten control of the runaway spending had had carved (according to the most optimistic analysis) a whole 7 billion of savings out of the 2012 budget. The president then airily breezes into Congress and in 20 minutes adds another $447 billion to the tab.

That’s what meaningful course correction in Washington boils down to: seven billion steps forward, 447 billion steps back. This $447 billion does not exist, and even foreigners don’t want to lend it to us. A majority of it will be “electronically created” by the Federal Reserve U.S. Treasury debt. Don’t worry; it’s not like “printing money”: we leave that to primitive basket-cases like Zimbabwe. This is more of those Nigerian email schemes which a prominent public official promises you a large sum of money in return for your bank account details.

In the case of Ben Bernanke and Timothy Gethner, one prominent public official is promising to wire a large sum of money into the account of another prominent official, which is a wrinkle even the Nigerians might have difficulty selling….

Father Frank Pavone's Work and Travel Schedule

Father Frank Pavone’s Work and Travel Schedule

In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, September 17, 2011

Preface: Just think we would not be talking about the above without Bishop Patrick J. Zurek concern about Priests for Life President Father Frank Pavone. Saint Paul exclaims that he speaks “… not to please mortals, but to please God…” (1 Th 2:4). To please God - because that is his criterion.*

Correcting the behavior of those gone astray is an essential part of Christian life, said Pope Benedict XVI in his Sunday Angelus address on Sept. 4.

The text of the Gospel “tells us that brotherly love also involves a sense of mutual responsibility,” said the pope, “so if my brother sins against me, I must use love towards him, first of all, speak to him personally, pointing out to what he said or done is not good.”

“My people are destroyed for lack of information”. In California, for example, S.B.48 and AB. 499 are destructive anti-family laws passed by the California Legislature with the help of the Catholic-label politicians. Assemblyman Jose Solorio voted for S.B. 48. [I just called CINOP Governor Jerry Brown to veto AB 499. Finally got through. The number is (916) 445-2841, Fax (916) 558-3160]

Bishop Patrick J. Zurek vs. Father Frank Pavone
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Friday, September 16, 2011

Join us in our conversation. Without doubt there could be a personality conflict between Amarillo Bishop Patrick J. Zurek and Priests for Life President Father Frank Pavone. There are lessons to be learned by both sides. In fact this is a two-edged sword for pro-life.

It will be a great victory for both sides if pro-life accentuates the positive; turns a negative into a positive; corrects the negative; and tries to focus on the education of the U.S. Bishops and the Catholic laity on what it means to be pro-life and the wonderful work “Priests for Life” is doing in the public sector and the education of all American voters.

The Background! Ref. http://www.lifesitenews.com/home/print/news/31626/
September 13, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – LifeSiteNews spoke with Priests for Life
President Fr. Frank Pavone this morning regarding the letter by his bishop, Patrick J. Zurek, demanding that Fr. Pavone restrict his ministry, at least for the time being, to the Diocese of Amarillo, commencing today September 13, 2011.

In a September 9 letter to bishops across the U.S., Bishop Zurek said, “My decision is the result of deep concerns regarding his stewardship of the finances of the Priests for Life (PFL) organization.” “PFL has become a business that is quite lucrative which provides Father Pavone with financial independence from all legitimate ecclesiastical oversight,” the letter said.

Fr. Pavone told LifeSiteNews that he was “perplexed” by the demand and added that he has begun a process of appeal to the Vatican. He stressed that “Priests for Life is above reproach in its financial management and the stewardship of the monies it received from dedicated pro-lifers, [yours truly] raised primarily through the direct mail at the grassroots level.”

Financial reports, he said, are submitted to all 21 bishops and cardinals who sit on the organization’s Advisory Board. Fr. Pavone also said that he does “not receive any salary or financial remuneration from either the Diocese of Amarillo or from Priests for Life.

May we use the article by Father Raniero Cantlamessa, OFM Cap titled, The Duty of Fraternal Correction, by Zenit: http://www.zenit.org/article-23555?1+english - We read: “Jesus said to his disciples: ‘If your brother sins, go & admonish him privately; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother.’

Also, we have a book coming out by Judie Brown, [Leader of American Life League] titled, The Broken Path – How Catholic Bishops got lost in the weeds of American Politics. + www.brokenpathbook.com

May I add to Judie Brown’s book, the importance of the bishops to get with it: “Listen to Talk Radio?” Specifically to Dennis Prager, Michael Midved and Hugh Hewitt on KLAC 870 - locally M-F and other stations nationally. The bishops will meet this Nov. 14-17/11 on voting and need other information.

George H. Kubeck, We will focus on the Talk Schedule of Fr. Frank Pavone and the work he has done to organize with over three-dozen national groups: Voter Registration Sundays in 2012. Mark your calendar May 27, July 1, and Sept. 9th: Send your check to Priests for Life, PO Box 141172, Staten Island, NY 10314-9920.Mine will be $45.

The Times of Venerable Father Michael McGivney
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, September 15, 2011

Ref. Father Michael J. McGivney Newsletters, Jan. –Feb. 2010 and Sep.-Oct. 2010

Father Michael McGivney is the founder of the Knights of Columbus. “If we follow the Father McGivney’s program for spiritual vitality, reflection on our lives must begin on a note of hope and gratitude. The precious gift of life and the power to direct one’s own life under the influence of the Holy Spirit is the true source of hope and optimism.

“Father McGivney knew this well as he faced the brokenness of Catholic families and the social ills of his day. Weighed down with the sufferings of his flock, faced with uncertain financial conditions of the parish and hostility from outside the Church. He was ever a man of steady encouragement and hope.

“In fact, his faith in God’s providence was contagious. It was hard to be around Father McGivney and not to be hopeful. He was energized by the difficulties that confronted him and was always creative in devising ways to face problems and work towards solutions. The venerable parish priest loved his parishioners with a great intensity. In return, they followed his example of optimism undertaking all manner of projects to relieve the sufferings and burden of others.

“Today, hard economic times bring plenty of suffering. Besides the usual tensions and problems typical of family life, the possible loss of a job, the need to cut back on the “extras” that enrich the formation of children or the threat of not making the mortgage put extra strain on parents and children.

“Part of Father McGivney’s pastoral genius was his ability to find ways of bringing people together to enjoy one another and have plenty of fun. It could be a picnic or dance in the parish hall, but this man of God wanted his people to enjoy life in spite of their poverty. For him, as for all the saints, the need to depend upon God in hard times was a blessing.

“The scriptures speak often and eloquently of God’s particular love for the poor, the outcasts, the widows and the orphans. These were the “clients” of Father McGivney’s remarkable priestly ministry. The life and work of Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney is a witness to the truth that one can be happy and enjoy a rich life of union with God even when deprived of material necessities.

“Father McGivney is a great patron for us as we face the struggles of the 21st century. He teaches us how to find meaning in all of the moral relativism and materialism of our time.

Fraternally yours,
Respect Life Chairman,
George H. Kubeck

Bishop Fulton Sheen - The Virgin Mary - Communism

2011-09-11T10:26:00.000-07:00

Bishop Fulton Sheen – The Virgin Mary – Communism

In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – 10th Anniversary of 9/11 -Sunday, Sep. 11, 2011

Preface: Again thanks to William A. Borst, PH.D, (BBPROF@sbcglobal.net ) for the August, 2011, Cardinal Mindszenty Report titled, The Gramsci Stratagem – “The Blessed Mother and the Feminist Attack on Women.” The following are excerpts of this report:

“As an adult Sheen extended his compassion, thanks to his relationship with the Blessed Mother, to those suffering under Communist yoke. In Gaelic Fulton means war and Sheen means peace, a Toltoyan oxymoron that had to be inspired by the Lord of History.

“Because of Marxism the world is obsessed with the love of the body and in denial of the spirit. This is at the essence of the culture war. One side seeks the constant pleasure of an artificial earthly paradise while the other yearns for eternal life with God.

“A Godless Cross: Sheen dedicated his life to the defeat of Soviet Communism and its hold on America. Because of his devotion to Mary, Sheen made ten visits to Our Lady’s shrine in Fatima. Of Mary’s many apparitions, Fatima had the most significance… the importance of Fatima centered on its message. Sheen saw four things in Fatima. First, he came to realize that Communism was an evil that was trying to conquer the world and destroy the Catholic Church. This warning has taken on a more ominous tone during the tenure of the more subtle disruptions of the Marxist culture war.

“Secondly, Sheen believed in the Blessed Mother’s ability to combat the evils of the world…

“Thirdly, Sheen believed that Our Lady called for constant conversion from the world to Christ. For him, the West had Christ, but without the cross, it lacked the necessary discipline, self-denial, and mortification. He called this Western conception a soft, effeminate Christ Who cannot save us! In contrast, the Communist world had the godless cross of oppression, persecution, and suffering.

“Fourthly, At Fatima the Blessed Virgin spoke about the battle being waged in these perilous times, ravaged by wars, economic hardships and worst of all, a malaise of religious faith. The worst death is that of a soul who loses faith, isolating himself from the healing power of God’s love. Bishop Sheen also saw in Fatima a hope for the Muslim people. He regarded Fatima as, not just an invitation for the conversion of Russia, but also the Muslim world as well. Fatima then also speaks to another aspect of the culture war with Islam that disguises itself as the war on terror.

“Bishop Sheen recognized the importance of the Rosary in the Fatima message. The Blessed Mother asked in each of her appearances: Pray the Rosary every day! She also stressed the power of the Rosary. The Rosary can end wars! The Rosary can bring peace! …

the Rosary has been credited with overwhelming European victory over the Muslims’ fleet at the Battle of Lepanto on Oct. 7, 1571. This date is now celebrated as the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary…. Sheen prayed the Rosary daily… “

George H. Kubeck – Pray for Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis that she will make a decision pleasing to God.

“CENSOR THE CINOP: END THE FRAUD AND CATHOLIC LABEL”

OUR SACRED HONOR # 6 OF 6

2011-09-10T14:06:00.000-07:00

FYI: AT ISSUE - PRO-ABORTION CATHOLIC POLITICIANS - WRITTEN 6 YEARS AGO - POSTED SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2011 -

CENSOR THE CINOP: END THE FRAUD AND THE CATHOLC LABEL

Our Sacred Honor # 6 of 6

This is the sixth E-mail letter to you our Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson, Knights of Columbus. They are sent prior to the great Convention which you and your committee have planned in Chicago, August 3-5th, 2005. (Columbia@kofc.com)

People need the truth. We need courage to speak the truth. The truth about abortion and marriage is a matter of life and death. Everything is a gray area for dissenters. God came up with life and marriage. It has to be done His way.

What are the lessons from Canada where nominal pro-abortion Catholic politicians passed this month the same sex marriage C-38? We witnessed political correctness & the dissenter’s religious correctness. It sacrificed the truth and natural law. We ended up with a Canadian Catholic Church leadership that is shameful & scandalous.

As Knights, we have a special loyalty and relationship with our Holy Father past and present, and it overrides any other. Dissenters believe that they are wiser than Pope John Paul II. We have at least 100,000 Knights in Canada. Hopefully, at the next election their faith supersedes party affiliation. On the matter of pro-abortion U.S.A. Catholic politicians, our Shepherds put us into this predicament.

They could have easily resolved this matter 25 years ago in accordance with Cannon Law. Sadly, I recall a case in Los Angeles where a pro-abortion Catholic politician Knight was blocked from removal by our bishop. On Apr. 22, 05, we met our local pro-abort State Senator. He suggested we check Mario Cuomo on the Internet. I found his writings clever but hogwash.

Let’s focus in on the following news items from LifeSiteNews.com 7/25/05

“In mid-July, the Windsor Star newspaper (in Canada) conducted a survey contacting 51 Catholic MP’s who had voted in favor of homosexual ‘marriage.’ While most did not respond, 11 said they were not reprimanded in any way, four refused to say, 34 were unavailable and two NDP MP’s noted their reprimands.”

“Public Discomfort With Canadian Bishops’ Approach to Catholic Politicians Growing: …In a column, published in the Ottawa Citizen on Sunday, David Warren. A recent convert to Catholicism writes … It can be no secret that the majority of Canadian Catholic bishops… run away from almost any opportunity to defend the faith they were entrusted to defend…. Some appear to be themselves opposed to most Church teaching.

It is thus left to the laity to do for the Catholic Church that for which its “hands on” leadership have not the stomach.”

“According to Francis Cardinal Arinze, the Vatican’s chief over the administration of the sacraments, the denial of Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians is a no-brainer.”

“In a book-length interview with journalist Peter Seewald, the future Pope Benedict XVI said of bishops whose first instinct is to avoid conflicts, ‘Peace is not the first civic duty and a bishop whose only concern is not to have any problems and to gloss over as many conflicts as possible is an image I find repulsive.’”

Ours is the faith of our fathers and mothers. With the daily rosary and weekly Eucharistic adoration, we strengthen our religious integrity. Once a Catholic, always a Catholic 100%! We love Pope Benedict XVI, the Magisterium, and our priests and bishops. The gates of hell shall not prevail.

Fraternally yours,

George H. Kubeck, Knights of Columbus, Cypress Council #8599, and Mission San Juan Capistrano Assembly 0062, July 27, 2005
