Papa and the "President"

Before reading my posting below check out this incredibly offensive "Newsweek" article at this link. Please read what I wrote below. If you had no problem with what was said in the article above then definitely read what I wrote below. Comments please!

America will get what it "wants" but more importantly we will get what WE DESERVE. That scares me! God the Father is merciful but He is a father. An infinitely loving father at that. When you see your children behaving badly you don't let them run amok and destroy themselves. (Sadly many parents do today). A loving father corrects the behavior and doles out the prudent punishment for said misdeeds. He does this out of love! Abortion, Embryonic Stem Cell Destructive "research", Gay "marriage". These are just the tip of the iceberg and yet these three things in and of themselves call for our destruction! Sodom and Gomorrah anyone? The bible is not a book of pretty words. It is the recipe for your NON-DESTRUCTION! I quote the great and holy Father John Corapi, "Wake Up America!" The blood of the slaughtered and innocent babies cries out to heaven for justice. God will give it to them and He will give it to us, OUT OF LOVE! One day soon God will reach down with His divine hand and shake the fence of indifference that so many of us are really comfortable sitting on. Not taking a stand on Abortion, Embryonic Stem Cell Research, Gay Marriage, or any other LIFE ISSUES! Yes, these are ALL LIFE ISSUES................ETERNAL-LIFE Issues! Don't get caught sitting on the fence! I'm not saying everyone is called to hit the streets in protest! Not yet anyway! As Christians you are called to pray! So do it! Pray the Rosary! Spend time before the Blessed Sacrament! Ask God For Mercy! Our punishment is coming. Nothing short of a miracle can change the hardened hearts of most Americans to the love of Christ. I know God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I Believe in Miracles, but they won't come without hard work from us! Will you do it!

In Christ Jesus

Fr. Pavone to Lead Alternate ND Commencement

While the news that Notre Dame will not yield on its disgraceful invitation of President Obama remains heartbreaking, some good news on the Pro-Life front was recently announced.

Fr. Frank Pavone, founder and head of Priests for Life, will be leading an alternate commencement ceremony at Notre Dame this weekend. Fr. Pavone will lead a group of seniors and their families in prayer at the grotto to Our Lady of Lourdes on campus. Fr. Pavone's service will be held at 2 p.m, the same time as President Obama will be speaking at the official University commencement. Check out this LifeSiteNews article.

I would like to ask all of you to once again pray. Pray for Father Jenkins, President of Notre Dame. Pray for President Obama. Pray for the Church. Pray for those catholics who have lost their way. Pray for this nation and for a change of heart on life issues. We can make abortion illegal but what this nation needs more than anything is for people to not want abortion because they see it for the lie that it is.

Come Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of the faithful!

Catholic League Response to Obama/Georgetown Scandal

Catholic League President Bill Donahue has weighed in with his reaction to the Obama/Georgetown University scandal. Mr. Donahue's response is below.

When President Barack Obama spoke at Georgetown University on April 14, the White House requested that all religious symbols and signage that might appear as a backdrop to where the president was to speak be covered up. Georgetown acceded to the request and made sure that the symbol “IHS,” a monogram of the name Jesus Christ, was not in sight.

“The cowardice of Georgetown to stand fast on principle tells us more than we need to know about what is going on there, but the bigger story is the audacity of the Obama administration to ask a religious school to neuter itself before the president speaks there. No bishop who might speak at the White House would ever request that a crucifix be displayed behind him. Moreover, the same church and state fanatics who go nuts every time a polling place is set up in the basement of a Catholic school have been noticeably silent over this incident.

“Obama will be speaking at Notre Dame, and receiving an honorary award, on May 17. Will his advance team ask Notre Dame to scrub the campus clean of religious symbols? Or just the ones that might appear behind the podium? Obama is in enough trouble with Catholics—over his pro-abortion executive orders and appointees, his position on embryonic stem cell research and his war on the conscience rights of healthcare workers—that it seems almost suicidal for his administration to push the envelope one more time. This is getting old fast.”

Georgetown Removes Jesus for Obama!

Take a look at the picture above. This is our President speaking at Georgetown University this week. Let's just forget about the fact that Georgetown claims to be a Catholic University and give them a pass on why they are allowing Obama to speak there for a second. When the White House staff was setting up the details of the speech with Georgetown a request was made to remove the initials of Our Lord Jesus Christ from above the stage where Obama would be speaking. Now the great "Catholic" Georgetown University was outraged and rescinded the President's invitation to speak, right? WRONG! Take another look at the picture. The blacked-out area above Obama's head is where Jesus' initials "IHS" were located. I can expect letters of thanks to be sent from Notre Dame to Georgetown for taking the heat off of them for a short time.

Let's lay out the facts here. In a very short period of time President Obama has waged nothing short of war against the unborn in this country and abroad. He is threatening to make Medical professionals and Hospitals opposed to abortion perform murder against their beliefs. For some reason "Catholic" Universities like Georgetown and Notre Dame seem to be worshipping at the altar of Obama. Think I'm being over-the-top? Maybe, but why is Notre Dame honoring him. Why is Georgetown removing God for him? I'll take answers to these questions if anyone has them. Leave a comment. Please explain it to me.

We are at a crossroads here. Catholics need to be Catholic! Catholic Universities need to be CATHOLIC! Pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit. Please join me this weekend on Divine Mercy Sunday in praying for this nation, the Church, and the World. We need God's mercy now, more than ever! AMDG

ND Student Groups Join the Fight!

After days of hearing from so-called experts stating that Notre Dame students are overwhelmingly in favor of President Obama being honored at graduation, numerous ND student organizations have banded together to show their outrage. Notre Dame Response is a new website sponsored by angry student led groups on campus who think Notre Dame is still a Catholic University and would like to show that to the world. Please visit their website and show support to those brave men and women who are standing up for truth!

Brave Voice in a Cowardly World!

Fort Wayne/South Bend Bishop John M. D'Arcy has issued a statement about the sad controversy that has erupted at the University of Notre Dame. Bishop D'Arcy's statement can be read in it's entirety here.

In a sad contrast, the University of Notre Dame has issued a statement of their own. The University is standing firm in their determination to flush Church teaching away and scandalize millions of Catholics around the world. Here is a story on Notre Dame's statement. If you have not yet done so, please visit Notredamescandal.com to sign the petition against the honoring of President Obama. Stand up for truth NOW! The time for sitting on the sidelines is over. Stand up for TRUTH! Be Catholic!

How Some People View the President!?

I came across this photo today. It struck me immediately for its almost "halo-like" appearance around the head of Obama. It hit me that this is how many people in this country, and indeed around the world, view our Commander-In-Chief. He is seen as a savior to far too many people. In reality one person seeing any one man as their "savior" is scary, unless that Man is Jesus Christ. I can't say if the person who snapped this photo had that in mind but the imagery that it conveys to the world is stark in its contrast to where we should really be putting our trust. Here!

Shame of Notre Dame!

(Courtesy of Notre Dame Scandal.com)

Today is a dark day for the University of Notre Dame. It was just announced that the commencement speaker at this year's graduation will be none other than President Barack Obama. The call of the Holy Father for Catholic Institutions and Universities to speak the message of Christ to the world has fallen on deaf ears at this "once great" Catholic Institution of Higher Learning. This President has shown nothing short of utter disdain for the dignity of human beings. He has gone out of his way to promote the destruction of human life at every possible opportunity. Notre Dame is now condoning this despicable behavior by celebrating this man. He will be given an Honorary Law Degree at the commencement. Apparently it is not a doctorate of moral law! He could use a few lessons in that! My main beef here is with the leaders of Notre Dame University. You make my skin crawl! As a Catholic Institution you are called on to be a light of Christ to the world. If you think you are being this light then I suggest you take a few minutes and grab a copy of the Cathechism of the Catholic Church!

Another point in all this is that Notre Dame is being used by the President to subvert Catholic Teachings in this country. I do not think I am out of bounds when I say that I see a personal agenda against the Catholic Church in the policies of this administration. President Obama receives invitations from hundreds of universities each spring. Why did he choose to accept Notre Dame's invitation? While I can't read Obama's mind I can't help but see a pattern of false "catechising" of Catholics in this country. He seems to go out of his way to pick pro-abortion "catholics" for key places in his government. He institutes diabolical policies that will assure the deaths of millions more innocent children in this country. He has removed bans on U.S. tax dollars funding abortion around the world. Perhaps his goal is to make abortion our nation's number one export. Notre Dame is being used to promote this agenda! Think I'm being paranoid? You better wake up America! Societies throughout history that have practiced human sacrifice have been wiped off the face of the earth! Embryonic stem cell research is the modern era's human sacrifice! America's days are numbered and we have done it to ourselves. Don't sit on your hands and let this evil go unchallenged. Speak up! Let the University of Notre Dame know that enough is enough! Please check out this link to sign a petition to let the President of
Notre Dame know how you feel! http://www.notredamescandal.com

Obama defunds Ethical Research!

It was learned yesterday that not only has President Obama now opened the door for federal funding of Destructive Embryonic Stem Cell Research, he has also defunded non-destructive ethical forms of research. I can't help but to point out what seems to be a more and more diabolical agenda of this administration to attack the unborn. War is being waged on the most innocent in our world and their only crime appears to have been their conception. Barbaric! I've said it before and I'll say it again and again. Pray for this country and our President. God Have Mercy On US ALL! AMDG See the related article below.

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 10, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Besides removing all restrictions on using taxpayer funds for embryo-destructive research yesterday, President Obama also formally rescinded a Bush-era executive order pushing for more research into the most promising and ethical forms of stem cell research.

The executive order signed yesterday by Obama specifically rescinded Executive Order 13435 of June 20, 2007.

Executive Order 13435 pushed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to "conduct and support research" on stem cells that "may result in improved understanding of or treatments for diseases and other adverse health conditions, but are derived without creating a human embryo for research purposes or destroying, discarding, or subjecting to harm a human embryo or fetus."

Obama to reverse limits on stem cell research

Well here we are again! On Monday President Barack Obama will publically unveil his newest executive order aimed at the unborn. This newest order will lift a ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research that has been in place for nearly eight years. The ban was originally put in place by President Bush in August of 2001 during his first term in office siting the procedures destruction of human life. Millions of dollars were instead placed behind research involving adult stem cell research. This approach has produced countless advances in medical research but has gone relatively unheralded by politicians, scientists, and news agencies around the country. An unnamed Obama official has been quoted as saying that the new Obama policy toward embryonic stem cell research will "restore scientific integrity to the process".

Integrity indeed! These are dangerous times we are living in. God is merciful and patient and He loves us all. Like any good Father God will not let His children continue to revel in sin and disobedience with being set straight. I call on all of you to make a stand for our innocent brothers and sisters who have been robbed of the dignity of being conceived naturally to loving married parents. They have been treated as a right or as a science experiment. Now they are being treated as something less than human. Something to be discarded for society's selfish needs. I agree that we should do anything to help find cures for disease, but not at the expense of human life. Don't sit on the fence and watch this public abomination rule the day. Don't sit on the fence of indifference and passively watch the world go by. God will one day reach down with His divine hand and shake the fence. Don't get caught sitting on it. Speak up! Pray, Pray, Pray! The innocent blood of millions cries out to heaven for justice. Pray that God will touch the hearts of all those who condone this horrible crime. Pray also that the Holy Spirit will inspire the hearts of us all to speak the truth and take a stand for good, not evil. All that evil needs to exist is for good men and women to do nothing. AMDG

Abortion Rules to Be Overturned!

In another clear assault on the unborn the Obama administration is paving the way to abolish rules put in place by the Bush administration at the end of their term. The rules stated that Health Care Providers (i.e. Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, etc.) who morally objected to abortion and contraceptives did not have to suspend their beliefs in their jobs. In what is really not a surprise to anyone on the Pro-Life side, the Obama White House says that such restrictions could lead to services such as Abortions and artificial contraceptives becoming less accessible to those who seek them. Basically if you object to these disordered things you need to suck it up and accept that the Culture of Death outweighs your rights not to commit sin and take part in the diabolical agenda that is now commonplace in this country. Lord Jesus Have Mercy on this Nation. Now is the time, more than ever before, for the faithful to stand up for Truth. If you don't know what Truth is then I suggest a little trip to your nearest Catholic Church to spend some time with Our Lord in the Eucharist. Don't be like Pontius Pilate who looked THE TRUTH in the eyes and asked, "What is Truth?" To quote Father John Corapi, "Pontius Pilate should be the patron saint of modern politicians." PRAY THE ROSARY DAILY AND ASK FOR MERCY!!! AMDG
