What does Mgr Stock think of A Call to Action calling Catholics faithful to the Church ‘the Catholic KGB’

What does Mgr Marcus Stock think of ACTA calling Catholics who express concern about heresy against the Faith of the Church as the ‘Catholic KGB’? Does the General Secretary of the Bishops Conference of England and Wales think this is fair comment? If he heard this characterization of faithful and loyal Catholics did he object to, or challenge, this misrepresentation? . . . → Read More: What does Mgr Stock think of A Call to Action calling Catholics faithful to the Church ‘the Catholic KGB’

Ex Head of Family Planning Association oversees Girl Guides dropping ‘God’ and ‘country’ from Promise

Robert Baden-Powell and Agnes Baden-Powell, his sister,established the Scout and Guide movement as an explicitly Christian and patriotic youth movements. Christianity is at the heart of their identity. If secularists did the same with Amnesty International when they foisted their culture of death agenda on the human rights group established by its Catholic founder. The thing is these secularist infiltrators don’t just want to organise youth groups or human rights groups, they want to completely eradicate their Christian identity. Maybe the next thing Julie Bentley will do is re-name the Girl Guides the ‘Family Planning Girls club’? and include a promise about always using ‘safe-sex’? . . . → Read More: Ex Head of Family Planning Association oversees Girl Guides dropping ‘God’ and ‘country’ from Promise

Belgium and Netherlands ready to expand euthanasia to children, babies and dementia patients

As if coping with a seriously ill or dying child was not bad enough now Belgium and Dutch parents are facing the hellish situation of doctors pressuring them to allow medical staff to kill their children. What is the state of palliative medicine in Belgium and Holland? How is the hospice movement doing in these two countries? The extension of euthanasia will grab all the headlines, allowing the legalisation of compulsory euthanasia to dementia sufferers to be slipped in without notice or much comment. Then we can expect the scope of compulsory euthanasia to be widened in successive acts of parliament. . . . → Read More: Belgium and Netherlands ready to expand euthanasia to children, babies and dementia patients

President Obama undermines the Irish Peace Process by attacking Catholic schools

President Obama’s misguided attack on Catholic schools proves once again that he is definitely in the camp of those militant secularists who are seeking to constrain, marginalize and diminish the human rights of Catholics and the Catholic Church. The UN Human Rights Convention states that parents have the right to educate their children in their Faith. For Catholics this necessarily means the Catholic Church have her own autonomous schools in order to create a Catholic ethos throughout the school. President Obama did the Peace Process a bad turn in Belfast by threatening our Catholic identity. . . . → Read More: President Obama undermines the Irish Peace Process by attacking Catholic schools

The House of Lords agrees with Catholic lawyers that clergy are open to prosecution over same-sex marriage

Since David Cameron announced that he was going to push through same sex marriage legislation campaigners seeking to defend marriage have pointed out that the ‘Gas and Dubois’ ruling made by the European Court of Human Rights categorically states that if a state legalises gay marriage then every institution that provides marriage services cannot refuse to conduct same-sex marriages. This is the legal advice given to the Catholic bishops and the conclusion of the House of Lords. If Cameron doesn’t provide cast-iron protection of churches who oppose same-sex marriage then it is 100% certain that Tatchell and Stonewall will engineer a legal challenge against the Catholic Church in the full media spot light of the pro-homosexuality media. . . . → Read More: The House of Lords agrees with Catholic lawyers that clergy are open to prosecution over same-sex marriage

‘I can assure you that the European Commission is not the Antichrist’ – EU official tells New York Times

The European Commission may not be the Antichrist, but it is creating an antichrist culture through its militant promotion of abortion, homosexuality, gay marriage, and the exclusion of Christianity from public life. It is in this antichrist culture that eventually the Antichrist will emerge. . . . → Read More: ‘I can assure you that the European Commission is not the Antichrist’ – EU official tells New York Times

As an anti-life act contraception is the beginning of the abortion culture – Cardinal Raymond Burke

There is either a great deal of ignorance about contraception among Catholics or a great deal of evil. How many Catholic women know that many of the contraceptive pills being prescribed by GPs are abortificient? If they don’t know then responsibility for this tragic ignorance is down to the Pastors of the Church and Catholic schools because we can’t rely on secular GPs to tell the full truth about the nature of the contraceptive pill. If Catholic women do know that the pill they are taking is abortifacient then the act of taking such contraceptive pills is an evil act. (The degree to which it is sinful depends on their freedom to act, and their knowledge, among other things). Failing to teach Humanae Vitae and Evangelium Vitae from the pulpits and Catholic media isn’t being pastoral, and it definitely isn’t showing Jesus’s love. Heresy isn’t a matter of different opinions, heresy kills, and in this case, it kills innocent babies.The failure of so many bishops, priests and deacons, to teach and preach Humanae Vitae and Evangelium Vitae has contributed to this Catholic collusion in creating this blood-soaked abortion culture. Catholic women should be outraged at this failure of sections of the Church to give them the full knowledge they need to reject abortificient contraceptive pills. How many innocent babies have been killed because Catholic mothers taking the pill didn’t know that the human pesticide they have been taking stopped implantation? . . . → Read More: As an anti-life act contraception is the beginning of the abortion culture – Cardinal Raymond Burke

Is this the start of the Soho Masses Pastoral Council taking over the 18:15 pm Farm Street Masses?

No one can complain about the provision of pastoral care to persons suffering the condition of homosexuality, because it is an act of mercy to help others with a disordered sexual attraction lead chaste lives according to God’s purpose for sexuality. But this is not what the Soho Masses Pastoral Council does. The Soho Masses Pastoral Council celebrates and affirms this disordered sexual attraction. Archbishop Nichols must know this, but he decided not to disband the Soho Masses Pastoral Council and instead gave them his mandate to organise pastoral provision for homosexuals in London. This one move on his part has guaranteed that they will not integrate into an ordinary Catholic parish but will remain a distinct group. The concern must be that the SMPC plans to gradually take over the 18.15 pm Masses at Farm Street until it is in a position to reproduce the ‘rainbow’ Masses of Warwick Square. . . . → Read More: Is this the start of the Soho Masses Pastoral Council taking over the 18:15 pm Farm Street Masses?

St Mary’s University, Twickenham, subjects PGCE students to a two hour Stonewall-based training workshop

A simple question, what does Archbishop Nichols think of St Mary’s university engaging Stonewall, a gay militant lobby group, to conduct a two hour ‘training’ workshop for its PGCE students? This is what Ruth Hunt, Stonewall’s director of public affairs said about Archbishop Nichols Christmas homily defending marriage: ‘“It is a real shame he’s taken away an opportunity for gay Catholics to celebrate mass in a safe environment. Given what’s happened over Christmas, where there were vitriolic and mean messages from pulpit about same-sex marriage, there has never been a more important time to provide a safe space for gay Catholics to pray. The archbishop’s views on gay issues are well rehearsed and have nothing to do with the spirituality of some lesbian and gay people and their desire to express their faith.”‘ And a simple question for the Chair of the Board of Governors and the governors appointed by the Catholic Education Service, how do you justify paying for the services of Stonewall who oppose the Church’s teaching on sexual morality and publicly criticise Archbishop Nichols when he defends marriage in his Christmas homily? . . . → Read More: St Mary’s University, Twickenham, subjects PGCE students to a two hour Stonewall-based training workshop
