FEMEN & Satan's Work

Jn 11:35

Lifesite News has a report about that on June 13, two self-described “sextremists” from the radical feminist group FEMEN chained themselves to the Cathedral of the Almudena in Madrid, Spain.

The two women walked into the Cathedral at 9:30 a.m. and approached the main altar. After shedding their shirts, they chained themselves to the base of the crucifix and began chanting “abortion is sacred,” among other statements.

On the back of one of the women was painted “Gallardón Inquisidor” in reference to Spain’s minister of justice, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón. Gallardón is seen as the prime mover of an attempt by the Spanish center right party, Partido Popular, to roll back Spain’s abortion-on-demand laws.

The attack on the Cathedral was timed to take place during the final deliberations by the General Council of the Judiciary (GCJ). On Friday, the GCJ, Spain’s constitutional body that governs the judiciary, voted 10-8 (with three abstentions) in favor of moving ahead with a plan that would limit access to abortion.

Currently, abortion in Spain is paid for by the taxpayers and has almost no meaningful restrictions up to viability. In 2010, the socialist government of ex-President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero eliminated almost all restrictions on abortion and declared the killing of a child in the womb to be the mother’s legal “right.”
You really do what motivates people to behave in a such an extreme way. Hardly seems to be motivated by a freedom of expression or ideas, when they attack the Church's non-personal defence of life in such extreme ways, especially in a country where what they are arguing for is received opinion. The Church and pro-life advocates take the radical, counter-cultural stand in this scenario.

A statement from the police said the FEMEN abortion activists were being charged with “crimes against religious sentiments” Femen desecrate churches, desecrate women's bodies and desecrate unborn babies. Such desecration is the work of Satan. Is there any doubt who is ultimately behind such acts?

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

    How often is this prayers said other than at EF Masses? Imagine that for many years this was said at the end of every Mass.

      Thrown out with everything else. You have to wonder why?

The Problem is the Bishops - Dr Janet Smith.

  Dr Janet Smith is a true gift to the Church. She is an American classicist and philosopher, and former professor of moral theology at the Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan. She is now retired and works helping victims of the sex abuse crisis where she does amazing work. It's my great pleasure to count her among my friends and I can assure you she loves Jesus and His Church with an incredible depth and honesty. She is wonderful company especially in that she is as sharp as a tack but also extremely warm and funny. This is a talk she gave recently at the Coalition for Cancelled Priests Conference at the end of June in Chicago. It's a must listen talk if you want to know the painful reality of the corruption in the Catholic hierarchy, corruption of all kinds, sexual, financial and spiritual/ theological. Having defended the Church during the paedophile crisis she was devastated when, after the Dallas Charter, the McCarrick scandal broke. She addresses the critici

Real Life Catholics on BBC TV defend Church Teaching on Contraception.

Image
This morning on BBC TV Sunday Morning Live there was a good debate inspired by Melinda Gates (who identifies as Catholic) comments about the pope potentially changing doctrine on contraception. The Catholic contributors were Fr Paddy McCafferty, Clare Short and Obianuju Ekeocha. I think they did really well. Uju's direction is very interesting and easily wrong foots those who want to impose western ideas of morality on Africans in an imperialistic way. Interesting that the presenter agrees with her on this. Fr Paddy gave a great account of his experience as a priest. He was compassionate, realistic and honest, while upholding the value and importance of the doctrine. Clare said she had experience of both ways and the Catholic way is better by far. I thought that was awesome! I especially liked her focus on equality and bringing the responsibility of both husband & wife into the discussion. Watch out for the bit where the other lady says "Pope Francis has ind

New Head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

Image
I can hardly bring myself to write about yesterday's announcement that Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernández to be the new head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith replacing Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. (now 79) who was previously the secretary to Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller. Fernández is certainly one of the Pope's men, his whole career has been crafted and guided by Jorge Bergoglio. He headed the Faculty of Theology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (CUA) and then on December 15, 2009, the then Cardinal Bergoglio appointed Fernandez as rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. However, much to the frustration of Cardinal Bergoglio, Fernandez was not able to take the oath of office until May 20, 2011, after he had answered objections to his appointment raised by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which assessed concerns about the orthodoxy of certain elements of his scholarship
