Sex: the elephant in the room at Vatican youth synod

VATICAN CITY (AFP) – “We mustn’t be afraid of sexuality!” French prelate Emmanuel Gobillard urged the Vatican synod on the role of young people, trying to break down the enduring taboo in the 1.3 billion-member Church.

But while the young insist that sex is an unavoidable topic at the month-long meeting of world bishops, the subject has a low profile in the gathering’s 70-page working document.

Sins Against Faith: Bad Popes in the past, The deposit of Faith

Taken from.”Deliverance Prayers,” by Father Chad Ripperger
In recalling what the Church has always taught, Father Ripperger reminds us of the following “Sins Against Faith.”
Willful doubt of any article of faith: deliberate ignorance of the truths of faith which ought to be known; neglect in instructing oneself in the faith according to one’s state in life; rash credulity (e.g. giving credence to private revelation to easily or believing in a private revelations which has been condemned by the  lawful Church authorities.) apostasy; heresy; indifferent-ism (to believe that one religion is as good as another, and that all religions are equally true and pleasing to God, or that one is free to accept or reject any or all religions); reading or circulating books or writings against the Catholic belief or practice in such wise as to jeopardize one’s or another s faith; to remain silent when asked about one’s faith; engaging in schismatic or heretical worship; joining or supporting masonic groups who are out to undermine the faith or other forbidden societies.

Bishop Williamson, the Fake Resistance, and the Kentucky Fathers

Dear Friends: For the last 45 years I have been explaining to Traditionalists that the evidence that we are Living in the End Times is the confusion we have among ourselves and as you can see by the latest split occurring among the Resistance. The meaning of the “Great Apostasy,” is not being defined properly by most of the Fathers as what it means Biblical.  The Apostles use the term as a Schism within the Church, not as a total abandonment of the Faith. The Vatican II Council is part of this Great Apostasy.

Phony Amazon got a lot of publicity over their pay hikes then turned around and cut benefits

NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon made a big splash this week with its $15 an hour minimum wage announcement, but lost in the fine print: Existing warehouse workers will no longer receive stock in the company or collect bonuses.

The online giant says next month it will end bonuses, which paid workers extra based on their attendance and warehouse productivity, as it boosts its minimum wage. MORE

Francis new grotesque mockery of the Cross

Image may contain: 3 people, people standing

After more than five years of the Bergoglian occupation of Rome, there is precious little evidence that this man is Catholic in any sense of the word; much less that he is the “Holy Father” as some insist on calling him. And yet, there is a mountain of evidence that plainly attests to the fact that he is neither Catholic nor pope. For the simpleminded who simply cannot digest such solid food (yet), take a good hard look at the image below and ask yourself, would a man (much less a cleric) who loves Jesus Christ and the Holy Catholic faith ever carry such a grotesque mockery of the Cross?

St. Francis day September 4th

Image may contain: 2 people, indoor

This evening, 3rd October, Franciscan men and women throughout the world begin our observance of the Feast of St. Francis by gathering for a reflective ritual – the Transitus – to mark his passover to eternal life.

What kind of person could say, “Welcome Sister Death”? This ceremony reminds us that Francis’s whole life had been a process of dying to self and being born to newer, deeper levels of life since he first began following in the footsteps of Jesus. This last step would complete that journey and bring him to total union with the Risen Christ and with all people in the fullness of God’s life.

Pray for us as we continue our Franciscan path – as we keep praying for you and yours!

Women Are Winning in the Trump Economy

By almost every economic measure, women are flourishing in today’s economy. Female unemployment is currently at a 50-year low of 3.9 percent, less than half the rate it was as recently as President Obama’s second term. This summer, the female unemployment rate reached its lowest level in 65 years. When you consider how small the female labor force was back then, it’s safe to say it’s never been easier for a woman to find a job than it is today. MORE
