Far Exceeding Expectation One Million Demonstrated in Rome Against Gender Ideology

One Million Demonstrated in Rome for the Family Against
Gender Ideology and the Government

(Rome) The rally was called "Defending our Children" and not Manif Pour Tous as in France, but it was an Italian Manif Pour Tous and what a one it was. One million Italians got up last Saturday for the defense of the family and   protested against the gender ideology of the left-wing government. The magnitude is sensational for Italy. It was only for 18 days that  the organizing committee had appealed to the public to mobilize against a government decree.

"Let us defend our children" is a Catholic initiative, which has also joined with secular forces. But the impetus came, as the Manif pour tous in France, from the Catholic heart. That does mean something. The organizing committee wanted to act independently and, therefore, had not appealed to  any parties and who therefore could not also collect revenue. This new independence contributes considerable fruit in Italy.  The same has been happening for several years already  with the March for Life, which brought 50,000 people to the streets in Rome in May. These are orders of magnitude, which would have been unthinkable before, when the pro-life movement was hedged institutionally between Bishops and Christian Democratic Party.

The million that rose on Saturday to defend the children which so impressively raised its  voice, exceeded all expectations. The organizing committee deliberately chose before the Lateran Basilica, the Piazza San Giovanni, the traditional parade ground of the Italian left, which holds its May 1 celebrations there.  It's a  provocation against those who want to introduce the gender ideology with little discussion, but also a challenge to the organizers. The challenge was mastered brilliantly and the provocation succeeded. "The people are one step ahead, the politicians should take a pause for reflection," said Archbishop Luigi Negri in a first reaction. The Archbishop of Ferrara was one of the few bishops who had publicly called for participation.

All, especially the ruling Left were surprised. The surprise was so great that even the house journal of the Italian left-wing government, the daily newspaper La Repubblica , the event devoted  three pages to it. Likewise, the Corriere della Sera and other major newspapers in Italy. Giacomo Galeazzi's headline in La Stampa said: "A really impressive sight, beyond any expectation".  The gigantic participation was a bitter thorn in the eye to many editors. The anti-clerical tabloid Il Fatto Quotidiano headlined furiously: "The bigoted rights returns".

The Pope and the Transgender --- Scandal or No Scandal?

Transexual Receiving Communion at Prison Liturgy

(Rome) "The Pope and the transsexual", is how the media similarly described  the Holy Thursday liturgy of Pope Francis in the Roman prison Regina Coeli. On the first day of the Triduum Paschale, the Pope again followed his practice of having deserted the liturgically provided cathedral church of Rome and went to the "margins".

This year the Pope visited the Roman prison Regina Coeli. He washed the feet  of male and female prisoners and celebrated in the "Lord's Supper" in the prison hall.

Vatican Television rendered images all over the world

Among the prisoners, whose feet the Pope washed, there was also a transsexual. He then also received Holy Communion from  another priest. The Pope's visit was accompanied by numerous television cameras that transmitted the Liturgy on  Vatican Television and on other television stations around the world.

The sight was for pious Catholic, and perhaps unbelievers, a scandal.  "At first glance", the most famous of Catholic bloggers, Francisco Fernández de la Cigoña did not make it out.  De la Cigoña is known for his direct language and has already even criticized Pope Francis "with respect for his office  and  his dignity."

In prison one  meets the prisoners

"The Pope has celebrated the Last Supper  in prison. There are even murderers, robbers, pedophiles, cheaters, rapists, prostitutes ... " The Pope could not count on anything else "and we could expect nothing less in a prison."

"This time it was just a transsexual offender. Is it worse than a pedophile, rapist or murderer?  Innocent convicts are rarely found in a prison," said de la Cigoña. The Church doesn't go on the Penal Code, but the soul of man. " The transsexual has been excommunicated? Can they not be pardoned for  sin? Even a transsexual can become a saint."

Transsexuals are not the problem, but the impression

"It has even me, a little astonished," said de la Cigoña, "that one of the persons whom the Pope washed in prison, is a transsexual." But Jesus washed the feet of Judas Iscariot. The problem was not that person or other offenders. The question is whether those who were invited for Communion, were in a state of grace. However, the Church doesn't require a statement of confession. Why would they need one in a prison?

Precisely because of this connection: penitence, confession, contrition, forgiveness are not conditions for receiving Holy Communion and even faithful Catholics often are familiar with the scandal of the offense of images from prison that were carried into all the world. The Church has helped sinners at all times. She  has done well, not to broadcast certain things  out loud. Not to excite or give offense, but to avoid confusion. "We do not know what happened in the prison. But the wrong impression, however, should always  be avoided: all were able to unconditionally receive the Lord."

We are in a period in which the gender ideology and the homosexualization are imposed by force, nor is this a  question of whether there was an accidental or deliberate play with gestures and pictures. Someone had chosen those who were to be admitted to the washing of the feet, like two years ago someone had selected prisoners of various religions in youth prison in Rome. It is difficult to accept that it was done without consultation with the Vatican.

Austria's Minister Demands Gender Equality for Stoning --- Silent About Islam

Mrs. Minister Heinisch-Hosek Demands
Gender Equal Stoning

(Vienna) Austria's socialist Minister has been lost in the ideological gender jungle. Gabriele Heinisch-Hosek is concerned about disapproval of  a report by her Ministry. The SPÖ Minister and Senior Women's Representative of the Alpine Republic complains of alleged discrimination of women in stoning. The ministerial discontent is due to the fact that men  are buried upon stoning only to the waist, while women up to the shoulders.

As quoted in the report, "Tradition and Violence Against Women" the Ministry complained:  "Finally, the implementation of  stoning itself  clearly reveals disadvantages for women because men are, however, only buried to the waist, and women up to the shoulders."

Because, according to the brochure, which informs that stoning is practiced for example, in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan, Nigeria, Afghanistan and Iran:  "This is significant because in the case of, 'self freeing'  the male or female convicted may receive a pardon. This is thus far more likely in men."

However, the ministry said, "on this subject"  the indexes and statistical material "are just as hard to find as scientific arguments."

"SPÖ Forcing Gender-Sensitive Stoning"

The incident became known through the officially distributed report by the Austrian Federal Chancellery through  a parliamentary inquiry of FPÖ-General Herbert Kickl. He wanted to get more information on the "SPO forcing gender-sensitive stoning" and accused the Minister of "lacking sensitivity to the death penalty."

The Vienna State Parliament Barbara Feldmann of the Christian Democratic People's Party said: "Gendering must not cause the forgetting of the basics of human rights." Publications such as these did not help the women's ministry. 

Mrs. Minister Heinisch-Hosek declined to comment. In the Ministry one is angry and feels misunderstood. The report was drawn up "for the protection of women," said the minister through her spokeswoman.

Context of Islam and Stoning Concealed

The Austrian Kronen-Zeitung commented: "The absurdities surrounding 'Gendering' i.e., the gender-neutral treatment of women and men, apparently knows no boundaries."

Although the publication of the Ministry of Women complained about stoning, it especially decried  "discriminatory" non-gender-equitable stoning, but does not mention that they take place in Islamic states and are directly linked with Islam. Any reference to the context and background is not reported. The brochure did not succeed in squaring the circle of ideological constraints. Austria's federal government seems to get lost between gender ideology and a pro-Islamic "culture of welcome".

The War Against Reality --- Gender Ideology Brought Into Focus

The film Life of Brian by the British comedy troupe Monty Python met a lot of criticism with its appearance  because it is very disrespectful and questionable towards Christianity and the historical figure of Jesus of Nazareth. A scene of the 1971 film rounded  upon some ideological positions in a satirically pointed,  which were then represented only by sectarian factions.

A position that 35 years later, one might think it was a bad joke, has become the great ideological struggle of  prevailing opinion, with which mankind will be forced to be downright happy. In the humorous repartee, John Cleese fails to appreciate in the conclusion, Sten's  "desire" to be a wife and to have children.

The first discourse revolves around "rights", which actually or supposedly are supposedly entitled  to or stubbornly insisted upon. John Cleese brings the bizarre discussion at the end on the level of reality. It's not about whether something is a "right" or not, but the reality. Monty Python could not have imagined in 1979, when the grotesque sketch was filmed, to what degree the struggle against reality would take a few decades later. [There were such people like this roaming around the halls of academe on your tax dollar then, too.]

Bishop Schneider Attacks the Pharisaical Denizens of Gender Ideology at the Synod

Edit: from the Toronto Catholic Witness who offers some commentary on what he thinks are the highlights of the following interview translated below.  

The Church and the world do urgently need intrepid and candid witnesses of the whole truth of the commandment and of the will of God, of the whole truth of Christ’s words on marriage. Modern clerical Pharisees and Scribes, those bishops and cardinals who throw grains of incense to the neo-pagan idols of gender ideology and concubinage, will not convince anyone to either believe in Christ or to be ready to offer their lives for Christ - said + Athanasius Schneider Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana, Kazakhstan in interview with Izabella Parowicz. 

Your Excellency, what is Your Excellency’s opinion about the Synod? What is its message to families?

During the Synod there had been moments of obvious manipulation on the part of some clerics who held key positions in the editorial and governing structure of the Synod. The interim report (Relatio post disceptationem) was clearly a prefabricated text with no reference to the actual statements of the Synod fathers. In the sections on homosexuality, sexuality and “divorced and remarried” with their admittance to the sacraments the text represents a radical neo-pagan ideology. This is the first time in Church history that such a heterodox text was actually published as a document of an official meeting of Catholic bishops under the guidance of a pope, even though the text only had a preliminary character. Thanks be to God and to the prayers of the faithful all over the world that a consistent number of Synod fathers resolutely rejected such an agenda; this agenda reflects the corrupt and pagan main stream morality of our time, which is being imposed globally by means of political pressure and through the almost all-powerful official mass media, which are loyal to the principles of the world gender ideology party. Such a synod document, even if only preliminary, is a real shame and an indication to the extent the spirit of the anti-Christian world has already penetrated such important levels of the life of the Church. This document will remain for the future generations and for the historians a black mark which has stained the honour of the Apostolic See. Fortunately the Message of the Synod Fathers is a real Catholic document which outlines the Divine truth on family without being silent about the deeper roots of the problems, i.e. about the reality of sin. It gives real courage and consolation to Catholic families. Some quotations: “We think of the burden imposed by life in the suffering that can arise with a child with special needs, with grave illness, in deterioration of old age, or in the death of a loved one. We admire the fidelity of so many families who endure these trials with courage, faith, and love. They see them not as a burden inflicted on them, but as something in which they themselves give, seeing the suffering Christ in the weakness of the flesh. … Conjugal love, which is unique and indissoluble, endures despite many difficulties. It is one of the most beautiful of all miracles and the most common. This love spreads through fertility and generativity, which involves not only the procreation of children but also the gift of divine life in baptism, their catechesis, and their education. … The presence of the family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in their modest home hovers over you”.
