Dear Reader:

Last week, on August 2, Jorge Bergoglio announced that in the teaching for his Church as contained in the new Catechism of the Catholic Church(Wojtyla, 1994) the death penalty was to be inadmissible and an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. (cf. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/pope-francis-and-the-death-penalty-a-change-in-doctrine-or-circumstances-39898) Continue reading

We must stop Bill AB 2943!

We must stop Bill AB 2943! State Senate voting on odious bill that would make Christian counseling illegal.
Dear MassResistance Activist:

The California State Legislature is at it again.

They want to hurt your children, they want to hurt suffering adults, and they want to take away their right to live life freely and in good health.

The LGBT Hate Machine will stop at nothing until they have captured our youth in their trap to push their destructive worldview on everyone.

Their latest bill, AB 2943, would ban any form of conversion therapy for individuals struggling with gender dysphoria or same-sex attraction.

The title could not be more misleading or provocative: AB-2943 Unlawful business practices: sexual orientation change efforts.

Here’s the link to read the text of the bill.

The evidence could not be clearer. Continue reading

‘Apocalyptic’ Carr Fire in Shasta County

How come those who eyewitness the fires and everything else, can say it’s Apocalyptic but when Joseph points it out to the Traditionalists they say I’m a dreamer.  Well maybe there half right, all of us JOSEPH’S in the BIBLE are dreamers. NO?

The Carr Fire burning in Shasta County near Redding has expanded its destructive path. With nearly 50,000 acres burned, 500 structures destroyed, one firefighter killed, one dozer operator killed, and several others injured — this fire is creating heartbreaking chaos. MORE

Latest Holy Fire

I feel a little bit like Nero when he had the slums of Rome destroyed by fire and then blamed it on the Christians. As God’s wrath is hitting California hard. California is one of the most sinful states in the country. This latest Holy Fire is named such because it started on a street called Holy Street.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned I took after Noa and drank Boiler makers, Ha. Only two. Fire fighters coming here from all over the world and Washington State is sending 200 Army soldiers.

The silent African-American minority speaks New coalition seeks sainthood for five African-Americans

(RNS) — The founders of two religious orders and an African-American priest who had to train in Rome because no U.S. seminary would accept him are among five candidates being supported for sainthood by a new coalition of black Catholic organizations. Continue reading

EUROPE ON BROIL! HOTTEST DAY EVER?

EUROPE is braced for its hottest day since records began today with temperatures likely to soar above the 118F high set 40 years ago.

Thousands of Brit holidaymakers and expats in Spain and Portugal will pile on to packed beaches as the heatwave peaks.

 

The blistering sunshine is widely tipped to pass the 118.4F (48C) recorded in Athens, Greece, on July 10, 1977.

And the deadly scorcher — driven by an African plume carrying Saharan dust with it — will spark a mini-revival of Britain’s heatwave with temperatures of 88F (31C) expected all weekend.

But it could also lead to a humanitarian crisis across Europe with the number of heat-related deaths likely to rise among the old and sick.

The Transfiguration, (Aug. 6.) The Assumption and Speculative Theology

One of the reasons for the transfiguration of Our Lord  was to demonstrate the relationship between our body and our ghost, (soul). The reason being to what transpires during the general judgment. ” In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,…” I Corin. 15:52.  Often to illustrate this at some of my lectures, I would go over to a light switch. Then point to the light bulb in the off position. Then say,  with the light bulb turned off, think of it as our physical body. When God turns the switch on, you go immediately to your Ghost, then those who go to heaven, in our glorified body, (We become like the Angels)  However once in this state of our Ghosts it still takes a week during the general judgment for all to be judged then after sent to their destinations. Heaven or Hell.  (Pentecost Sunday to the eve of Trinity Sunday.)  Apoc. 17:11.(Pentecost symbol) Continue reading
