Don’t we realize that the world system we’ve been drawn into (without our consent!) is controlled by homosexuals and perversion! If there are any true-blue Americans in S Korea, then let them TAKE THE KNEE to this fraud of an Olympics!!!! Boycott this scam and charade.

For the first time, the IOC [International Olympic Committee] has ruled that transgender athletes can take part in the Olympics. Female-to-male athletes can compete “without restriction,” while male-to-female athletes must undergo hormone therapy.  MORE

(OAS), is putting pressure on 23 member countries to recognize “marriage between persons of the same sex.”

On January 9, 2018, in answer to a request from Costa Rica, a member State of the OAS, the Court demanded the recognition of the “right to homosexual marriage”, that ensures the same legal protection as marriage.

Juan Puertas, a lawyer and President of the Asociación Antonin Scalia in Peru, told Fides that “as a consequence of the Court’s decision, marriage will cease to be an institution”; “we are renouncing true law,” he explained, “because law is a science based on reality and not on sentiments.” MORE

Lenten-tide


Unless the mind and will are ready to believe in God’s absolute right to teach and command, there is little likelihood that fasting and penance with extra prayer will be followed carefully.

The will must be free of self-interested desires and fears in order to bend the mind to assent to an unseen God and to His whole mysterious order of salvation. Prejudices and sinful habits easily find excuses for refusing assent to truth and to self-discipline. Continue reading

St. Valentine Feb. 14 ~ Italian Version

There’s a lot of confusion, actually, about St. Valentine, whose feast we celebrate today.
The most popular legend places Valentine near Rome in the third century, during the reign of the Emperor Claudius III (nicknamed Claudius the Cruel). According to the story, Claudius sought to expand the Roman Empire, and so needed a strong army to conquer new settlements. He was having trouble getting soldiers to join his military forces; and Claudius believed that this was because young men were unwilling to leave their wives and families. Therefore, the Emperor banned all marriages and engagements in Rome.(For Soldiers) Continue reading
