Volcano in southern Japan erupts for 1st time in 250 years

TOKYO (AP) — A volcano in southern Japan has erupted for the first time in 250 years, and authorities set up a no-go zone around the mountain.

Mount Io spewed smoke and ash high into the sky Thursday in its first eruption since 1768. Japan’s Meteorological Agency on Friday expanded a no-go zone to the entire mountain from previously just around the volcano’s crater. Continue reading

Dear Reader:

Next week I will return to the thesis on Sacrament of Confirmation, concluding the treatise on Mary, Co-Redemptrix, in this issue. In between, on April 25 the Church will be asking Divine intervention as she prays the Litanies and processes through the streets. You may say this is now rarely done, and this may be true. Still, it is part of the Church Tradition and it is wonderful in those communities where it is still possible. The spirit of the liturgy will continue to be that of asking God’s divine intervention that we may be protected from natural disasters, wars, pestilence and famine. Continue reading

Sandy Hook Parents Sue Alex Jones for Defamation

Alex Jones, (the right wing’s Jesse Jackson) fake news reports are finally coming to an end once this case hits the courts. It’s sad one can’t charge these BUM’S criminally and put them in jail as well.

Three parents whose children were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 filed a defamation lawsuit on Tuesday against Alex Jones, the right-wing conspiracy theorist who has long claimed the shooting was “completely fake” and a “giant hoax” perpetrated by opponents of the Second Amendment.

St. Pope Anicetus Feast day April 17.U.S. coordinated the attack during the Octave of a Syrian Pope

St. Pope Anicetus  Feast day April 17.

Funny how the U.S. coordinated the attack during the Octave of a Syrian Pope.

Anicetus was a Syrian from Emesa. He became pope about 155 and actively opposed Marcionism and Gnosticism. His pontificate saw the appearance of the controversy between East and West over the date of Easter. St. Polycarp, a discipleof John, is reported to have visited him in Rome about the dispute, which was to accelerate and grow more heated over the following centuries. MORE

AntiChrist Francis is “probably the most popular pope in history

All of these AntiChrist popes will be popular with most Catholics because they have embraced all the religions of the world.

Amid the discussion triggered by Capuchin Father Thomas Weinandy’s recent decision to go public with a critical letter to Pope Francis, one well-known Catholic writer dismissed Weinandy’s claim that Catholics are “scandalized” by the pontiff, saying, “Bosh. Francis is probably the most popular pope in history.” MORE

Jews believe World was Created in September-October

In case you missed my article on the Creation falling during the same time as first day of the Passion. I became puzzled why Palm Sunday wasn’t one of the mystery’s of the Rosary. In my creation article I point out that Palm Sunday was the first day of the creation. So the significance here is, that the Jews are hailing Jesus as King, King of the Jews on the day He started the creation. Wow, I said this gives Palm Sunday a little more credibility. I decided to check out the Jewish calendar and customs. I have a Jewish teaching Catalog that I use to learn from. Well guess what, The Jews have many New Years or dedication Years. There first Month of the year is not their creation month. Instead Nissan is dedicated to all their “Reign of Kings.” Wow again, here is The King of Kings riding into Jerusalem on a donkey on their Reign of KINGS DAY, (If true) and hardly anyone can see the connection. Oh Oh but wait a minute, I see also that their New Years day is also their day of the creation, but it’s the month of Tishri-our September-October. Obviously one of us has the wrong month?

Have Iran, Russia and Turkey reached agreement on future Syrian state?

On April 4, the presidents of Iran, Russia and Turkey met in Ankara to hold a trilateral summit within the framework of the Astana process to discuss the latest developments in Syria. It was the second round of high-level talks between the three heads of government after their first meeting in Russia’s Black Sea resort of Sochi on Nov. 22, in which they agreed to continue their contacts in order to facilitate the process of finding a peaceful solution to the Syrian conflict.

Movie review of Paul, Apostle of Christ Fr. Paul Alvarez

Father Alvarez, eloquently confirmed my stated position on the movie

The Blood of Martyrs Is the Seed of Christians
Movie review of Paul, Apostle of Christ
Fr. Paul Alvarez
The film is based on the Acts of the Apostles, which Catholic Tradition has always accepted as canonical and has always attributed to St. Luke. Only some heretical sects, such as the Ebionites, Marcionitas and Manichaeans, denied the authenticity of this book. Thus they rejected St. Paul’s teaching in its whole or parts. Continue reading

Pickup on South Street 1953 ‧ Crime film/Black and white ‧ 1h 20m

Believe it or not. I watched this movie when I was a teenager and the one song they play was “Again” I forgot the name but the tune never left me. It took me awhile to put the song with the right picture together but finally found it and I was able to watch mostly all of it last night on the computer. Of course I fast forward some scenes which were not necessary to watch still took 45 min.
