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.

Investigate the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Transgender Clinic

The latest victims of the sexual revolution are children. Our culture obsessed with promoting this twisted and distorted view of sexuality and many are now using children to promote it.

Such is the case at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. At their Transgender Health Clinic, they are telling parents that children as young as three-years-old know their gender identity and that they will begin “medical” (meaning chemical) treatments on children as young as five-years-old.

This insanity has to stop. Children must not be sacrificed to the god of the sexual revolution. Please sign this petition to the Ohio Medical Board asking them to investigate the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for these practices on such young children. MORE

 

 

Divorce and single-motherhood rates are soaring in Egypt

El-Monitor….So much for freedom.

When TV presenter Doaa Salah broached the thorny issue of single motherhood on her weekly “Dodi Show” on Al Nahar last July, she probably had no idea that she would end up fired and sentenced to three years in prison.

Sporting a fake baby bump in the studio, she boldly asked female viewers if they had ever considered engaging in premarital sex. She also suggested that women marry for a short period to have a baby and lamented that sperm donation is prohibited in Egypt. She faced a fierce backlash for her “immoral remarks.” MORE

Msgr Lefebvre and the Society of Saint Pius X

Declaration November 21, 1974

The following short article appeared in the January 1987 issue of Catholic. It sets out clearly the position of Msgr Lefebvre and the Society of Saint Pius X as it was only four years after the SSPX was founded. In 1976 Msgr Lefebvre was suspended ‘a divinis’ because he ordained more priests. His comment then was “Suspended from what, and by whom?” Continue reading

Cardinal Burke: Scalfari Episode ‘Went Beyond What Is Tolerable’

National Catholic Register 4-7-2018 ( Confusion among the confused.)
The American cardinal says the recent ‘interview’ regarding hell was a ‘profound scandal,’ and that the Holy Father is not only failing to proclaim the Church’s constant doctrine and sound discipline but also ‘increasing the confusion’ over crucial issues. – Edward Pentin
Cardinal Raymond Burke has said Pope Francis is not only “refusing to clarify” the Church’s doctrine and discipline but also “increasing the confusion” on the “most fundamental and important issues.” Continue reading

Can the Pope be removed from office?

My Dear friends:

No one can excommunicate a Pope. I have given everyone that has been involved in the Status of the Church, the proper answer and the facts on these Vatican II popes for over 50 years. Any position other than the one I give you is paramount to SLANDER. So unless you want to go to HELL for slander you had better adopt the lawful facts that I have presented to you or wind up losing your Soul.
So preach the TRUTH and save your soul or promote Slander and lose it. The Pope is the Pope unless he’s the AntiChrist period.
In Christ, the prophet, Joseph www.catholicendtimetruths.com

Q. 1. Can the Pope be removed from office? Let’s say he is too sick to administer his position as the head of the Catholic Church, can he be removed? Continue reading

The Feast of the Annunciation – This year April 9th

The Feast of the Annunciation, contemporarily the Solemnity of the Annunciation, also known as Lady Day, the Feast of the Incarnation (Festum Incarnationis), Conceptio Christi (Christ’s Conception), commemorates the visit of the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, during which he informed her that she would be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is celebrated on 25 March each year, except in those years when 25 March falls during the Paschal Triduum, when it is transferred forward to the first suitable day during Eastertide.[1

The Feast of the Annunciation is observed almost universally throughout Christianity, especially within Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, Catholicism, and Lutheranism.[2] It is a major Marian feast, classified as a solemnity in the Catholic Church, a Festival in the Lutheran Churches, and a Principal Feast in the Anglican Communion. In Orthodox Christianity, because it announces the incarnation of Christ, it is counted as one of the 8 great feasts of the Lord, and not among the 4 great Marian feasts, although some prominent aspects of its liturgical observance are Marian.[3][4][better source needed] Two examples in liturgical Christianity of the importance attached to the Annunciation are the Angelus prayer, and especially in Roman Catholicism, the event’s position as the first Joyful Mystery of the Dominican Rosary.[5]

US has highest gun-related murder rate in developed world: Letters

Here’s a question for any 16-year-old genius anti-gun protester. What law would have stopped the Florida massacre or all the ones before it?

When you don’t find the answer, because there isn’t one, you should then ask yourself this question: What current laws if fully enforced could have stopped these massacres?

Warning: You will have to do the work yourself to find these answers and when you do you might just become a conservative.

Studies link legal marijuana with fewer opioid prescriptions

Some good news?

Can legalizing marijuana fight the problem of opioid addiction and fatal overdoses? Two new studies in the debate suggest it may.

Pot can relieve chronic pain in adults, so advocates for liberalizing marijuana laws have proposed it as a lower-risk alternative to opioids. But some research suggests marijuana may encourage opioid use, and so might make the epidemic worse. MORE
