VATICAN CITY: A papal commission on the role of female deacons met for the first time Friday in a move reformers hope could open the door to women eventually entering the Catholic clergy.
As things stand only men can serve as priests or as deacons. The latter are church officers who are authorised to give sermons and preside over baptisms, marriages and funerals but not to hear confessions or give communion, tasks which remain the preserve of ordained priests. MORE
Back in May, we obsessed over the D.C. mansion where the Obamas will move after they leave the white house, and now it sounds like the family plans to be bicoastal. The New York Post reports that the President has purchased a second home in Rancho Mirage, just outside of Palm Springs. MORE
STOCKHOLM – Norway’s state Lutheran Church has condemned the anti-Jewish legacy of Martin Luther, the 16th century German theologian who started the Protestant Reformation.
In a statement issued Friday ahead of next year’s 500-year anniversary of the Reformation, the Church of Norway’s General Synod said some of Luther’s writings were later used in anti-Semitic propaganda, including in Nazi Germany. MORE

Before Vatican Council II the Church Taught
Excommunication. A penalty imposed by the Church on a sinner in order to bring about his correction and amendment. It consists of the exclusion of the sinner from the communion of the faithful with certain legal effects, including the loss of his right to assist at divine services, exclusion from all the sacraments, Continue reading
Here is a protestant minister who sees the light.
The church world as a whole has been captured by evil spirits to almost the same degree as the secular world.
This bondage by the antichrist spirit world has reached a level that guarantees God’s judgment must be at hand. Remember those words of our Lord in St. Matthew chapter twenty-four, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” (Matthew 24: 12-13) The level of deception is so intent and even beyond the discernment in the church that survival is scary. Men and women that have been “rocks” of spiritual courage are being deceived. Many are wondering if the church can survive. Our enemies are declaring the end of Biblical Christianity. MORE
Remember God is always the main factor in a death. In this case because of the sinful behavior of the Catholic society at the time God allowed Kennedy to be killed and I’m a witness to this fact. I also question his liking Kennedy,(as stated below) since he was in defense of Cuba, was well known.
In the hours after the Kennedy assassination, after Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit and was identified as the president’s assassin, a Secret Service officer named Mike Howard was dispatched to Oswald’s apartment. Howard found a little green address book, and on its 17th page under the heading “I WILL KILL” MORE

According to Indian newspapers of today, Bergoglio has given his own “priests” the power to absolve persons guilty of abortion. So, in his own sinister way, he is telling Fellay at the same time that his priests can continue to hear confessions validly in order to forgive such persons guilty of abortion.
To ensure no opposition to his program, Bergoglio disbanded the Pro Life Congregation (Family committee at the Bishops conference was pro-life) of all its members two days ago to leave him free to pick anti-Life members. This man is Satan.
MY REPLY:
So now abortion is just another sin now? You can have as many abortions as you want and still be forgiven? – Before the priest had to seek the Bishop to get permission, but SSPX does not have Bishops near by. So I guess they would have to call them on the phone? What about murder?
