Vatican confirms that Pelosi will have audience with the Pope

Vatican City, Feb 16, 2009 / 11:55 am (CNA).- On Monday at noon in Rome, the Vatican’s Press Office confirmed to CNA that Pope Benedict will be receiving U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in an audience at noon on Wednesday.

Pelosi, a self-proclaimed “ardent Catholic” who has sparked significant criticism from fellow Catholics in the U.S. for her pro-abortion views, arrived in Italy on Sunday for an eight-day official visit.

[JR: Maybe we can pray that the Holy Father had a chance to explain the Church's position on abortion to this CINO?]

Pope to have own Google channel with video
Jan 17, 7:58 AM (ET)

*** begin quote ***

VATICAN CITY (AP) – The Vatican says Pope Benedict XVI is getting his own channel on Google.

It says the Vatican TV Center and Vatican Radio are collaborating with Google on the project.

The Vatican’s press office said Saturday that texts and video of the pope’s speeches as well as news about the pontiff would be posted directly onto the channel.

It says more information will be given next week.

[JR: Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, rest his soul, must be turning over. He was excoriated for going on TV with Theology, outreach, and teaching. Catholic school kids HAD to watch; it was on the test the next day. That was unfair. But, the man understood the power of TV. His rebuke led Holy Mother Church to abandon the medium to the secular progressives. Interesting.]

If this doesn’t make you sick…….

   Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Bishop Nicholas A. DiMarzio of the Diocese of Brooklyn unveiled a proposal on Saturday to convert four Roman Catholic schools singled out for closing into public charter schools, an 11th-hour lifeline meant to preserve the education provided in the buildings and stave off potential overcrowding in city schools.

*** and ***

The city would lease the buildings from the diocese, but religious instruction would be banned and religious symbols in the buildings would be covered.

*** end quote ***

[JR: This is nuts. And "Catholics" don't see it? Secular Progressives have destroyed religion in America. And, they have the audacity to move into the same buildings! Doesn't this enrage anyone else?]

MFound: MC mention in the Epiphany homily

Homily for the Week of January 4, 2009|
The Epiphany of the Lord, 2008
First Reading: Isaiah 60:1-6
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 10-11, 12-13
Second Reading: Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6
Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12

Manhattan College is one of the oldest Catholic Colleges. It is located in New York City. It was started by a group of Christian Brothers in the 19th Century. It athletic teams are called the Jaspers after Brother Jasper. One of the greatest achievements of Brother Jasper was that he brought the then little-known sport of baseball to Manhattan College and became the team’s first coach. During one particularly warm and humid day when Manhattan College was playing a semi-pro baseball team called the Metropolitans, Brother Jasper noticed the Manhattan students were becoming restless and edgy as Manhattan came to bat in the seventh inning of a close game. To relieve the tension, Brother Jasper called time-out and told the students to stand up and stretch for a few minutes until the game resumed.

Since the College annually played the New York Giants in the late 1880′s and into the 1890′s at the Polo Grounds, the Manhattan College practice of the seventh inning stretch spread into the major leagues, where it has now become a time-honored custom practiced by millions of fans annually.

In the Catholic Church this weekend is like the seventh inning stretch. It is towards the end of the spiritual season of Christmas, and today is THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS. As the song goes: on the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me twelve drummers drumming. Today is the twelfth day of Christmas, or what we call Epiphany.

ENDNOTE: Catholic Church has made no exception regarding abortion!

Catholic Church has made no exception regarding abortion since ancient times

October 26, 2008

Most Rev. W. Francis Malooly, bishop, Catholic Diocese of Wilmington

*** begin quote ***

In his interview with The News Journal published Oct. 19, Sen. Joe Biden presents a seriously erroneous picture of Catholic teaching on abortion. He said, “I know that my church has wrestled with this for 2,000 years,” and claimed repeatedly that the Church has a nuanced view of the subject that leaves a great deal of room for uncertainty and debate.

This is simply incorrect. The teaching of the Church is clear and not open to debate. Abortion is a grave sin because it is the wrongful taking of an innocent human life. The Church received the tradition opposing abortion from Judaism. In the Greco-Roman world, early Christians were identifiable by their rejection of the common practices of abortion and infanticide.

*** and ***

This Sunday, all the parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington will pray the Litany of St. Thomas More, martyr and patron saint of statesmen, politicians and lawyers. We will ask St. Thomas More to intercede so all statesmen and politicians may be courageous and effective in their defense and promotion of the sanctity of human life. We hope Sen. Biden will carefully listen to the Church’s 2,000 years of testimony on abortion and that he will join in the defense and promotion of the sanctity of life.

[JR: Seems to sum the issue up!]

ENDNOTE: Vatican starts to id CINO politicians?

Vatican official attacks U.S. Democrats as “party of death”

*** begin quote ***

Vatican officials seldom single out political leaders who differ with the Church on issues like abortion rights or embryonic stem cell research. But now that the Vatican’s highest court is led by an American, the former St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke, we can expect things to get more explicit in Vatican City — at least when when it comes to U.S. politics.

*** end quote ***

In the business world, protecting one’s brand is essential to preventing the consumer from wandering off out of cofusion. Guess Holy Mother Church has been too busy with pedophilia to notice that Catholic In Name Only politicians (CINOs) are leading the flocks astray. Nice to see that the “barn door” maybe getting locked long after the horse is so long gone. Maybe fifty years gone? Since the first CINO, JFK! They’ve lost generations here in the USA.

(We no longer deserve to call ourselves “The United States of America” any more. Since the “direct election of senators”, the States have been nothing more than extensions of the Federal Government. Sort of like a patient infected with a second form of cancer. Lysander Spooner was right about the Constitution with it’s “right to life”. And, while we are at it, let’s put the plastic bag of the Statue of Liberty or at least build a mile high fence around it. We should be embarased by it’s presence. A reminder of what a once great nation we were. I am ashamed of how far we have fallen fromt he Dead Old White Guy’s ideals.)

Respectfully submitted for your consideration, and action.
