It's good that there is talk of handing over to the secular arm for punishment, but what about the severe penances? If it sounds like too much of a government program, it'll sound like an empty and faceless bureaucratic and cynical maneuver, designed to frustrate, stonewall and disarm detractors while protecting the guilty from justice.
Again, would that we hadn't abolished juridical torture and made severe penances a thing of the past.

He Introduced the Index of Forbidden Books
Paul VI in a conciliar delirium: The United Nations is the great school, where humanity is brought to peace.
-Fr. Luigi Villa
(Kreuz.net) On 20th March Paul VI received the Administrative Council of the 'Rotary Club'.
In a talk he explained, that the organisational form of this para-masonic organization and their methods were good, and the goals, the Pope maintained, were good.
On 4 October 1965 he spoke to the UN - General Assembly in New York and declared: "Gentlemen, you have achieved a great work. You teach men peace. The UN is the great school, where one receives this education."
Paul VI. even visited the abstract meditation room of the United Nations, which is consecrated (geweiht) to God, who men honor under many different names and forms .
The Old Was Disposed of
On 23 March 1963 Paul VI let the lay-Archbishop of Canterbury, Michael Ramsey (+1988) bless a wall of Cardinals, Bishops and faithful.
On 14 June 1966, he abolished the Index Liborum with the notification "Post Litteras apostolicas".
Simultaneously, a de facto Index was reestablished according to liberalistic theology.
Primarily, the Roman Missal and the works of right believing Catholic Theologians landed on the list.
On 3 April 1969, Paul VI replaced the ancient Roman Missal with the constitution "Missale Romanum" and later with the constitution "Novus Ordo Missae", above all this was done, in order to please the protestants.
With the Motu Propio "Matrimonia mixta" he forged the solemn vow between non-Catholic marriage partners to inform their children of the Catholic Faith.
On 22 November 1970 he avoided Ingravascetem aetatem by the Motu Propio, "over eighty-year old Cardinals, participating in the conclave."
Later bishops upon reaching the age of 75 were forced to retire.
Thus the old bishops should be removed, who might obstruct the development of the Conciliar Church.
A Suction Tube?
With the instruction "Fidei custos", Paul VI permitted laymen to give Holy Communion with the unspecified pretext, "special circumstances and new necessities".
With the instruction "Memoriale Domini" he permitted the Episcopal Conferences of those countries to allow Communion in the hand with their permission, despite this being done already, illegally.
Still, briefly before, the Pope himself had condemned the practice because of the, "danger of profaning the Holy Eucharist," and for the reason of "pious respect for believers towards the Eucharist."
Paul VI signed also an Edict, which maintained, that under both forms, the Precious Blood could be consumed through a straw.
When he died, there were no Christian symbols to be seen on his coffin.

CCHD Stations of the Cross
This just in from "Reform the CCHD". Reform it out of existence would be a better idea. This most recent evil shows a station of the Cross dedicated to a Planned Parenthood funded recipient of CCHD funds, the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, here.

This year, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) released its own version of this ancient devotion. This self-promotion offers a few scriptural passages relevant to each of the 14 Stations of the Cross (Jesus is Condemned to Death, Jesus Takes up His Cross, Jesus Falls the First Time, etc.), which are followed by commercial commentaries on groups receiving grant money from the CCHD. Even the prayers at the end of each station are tainted with these commercial insertions.

Pope establishes structure for Anglicans uniting with Rome
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI has established a special structure for Anglicans who want to be in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church while preserving aspects of their Anglican spiritual and liturgical heritage, said U.S. Cardinal William J. Levada.
The cardinal, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said a new apostolic constitution would establish "personal ordinariates" -- similar to dioceses -- to oversee the pastoral care of those who want to bring elements of their Anglican identity into the Catholic Church with them.
Anglican priests who are married may be ordained Catholic priests, but married Anglican bishops will not be able to function as Catholic bishops in keeping with the long-standing Catholic and Orthodox tradition of ordaining only unmarried clergy as bishops, Cardinal Levada said.

Despite The Danube Cardinal's Remarks: Pope Benedict Defends Celibacy
Perhaps good can come of evil. The Cardinal on the Danube has caused a furor on-line while appearing to question the salutory nature of clerical celibacy, and indeed, it's what we've come to expect from him, but while he has stopped short of criticizing celibacy, he's very interested in giving voice to dissident communities in Vienna who ARE opposed to everything the Church teaches and expect that because they have an opinion celebrated by the mass media and entertainment complex, that they deserve to have their views put into effect. Remember when the Cardinal did such and such, like when he tried to blame the orthodox Father Wagner of Linz for the decline in Austrian Church membership?
Truly, our current Pope has ideas that are a sign of contradiction to the consensus; with not a little courage.

Truly, our current Pope has ideas that are a sign of contradiction to the consensus; with not a little courage.
Pope Benedict Defends Celibacy
He was speaking at a theological conference before meeting Germany's top bishop for talks about a new crisis over sexual abuse of children.
German Bishop Robert Zollitsch apologised again to victims of abuse by German priests. [This Bishop made some excellent comments on sex abuse.]
The Archbishop of Vienna had suggested that the Church should examine celibacy and priests' training. [Yes, perhaps we should examine celibacy and learn how it has been the discipline of the Church for many centuries for good reasons.]
'Honesty needed'
Europe's Catholic paedophile scandal now affects institutions in Ireland, the Netherlands, Austria and Germany.
The Vatican has also admitted married clergy who converted from the Anglican faith
In Vienna, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn wrote in a diocesan magazine that "the issue of priest training, as well as the question of what happened in the so-called sexual revolution" needed to be addressed.
But the Pope said on Friday that celibacy is "the sign of full devotion, the entire commitment to the Lord and to the 'Lord's business', an expression of giving oneself to God and to others".

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- A greater presence of women in decision-making roles in the church might have helped remove the "veil of masculine secrecy" that covered priestly sex abuse cases, a front-page commentary in the Vatican newspaper said.

US museums lend masterpieces to major Caravaggio exhibit in Rome
By Father Matthew Gamber
Catholic News Service
ROME (CNS) -- Three Caravaggio masterpieces, originally painted in Rome but now part of U.S. museum collections, returned to Rome as part of a historic exhibit of the artist's work.
In a way, the paintings are on a pilgrimage back to their birthplace, said Elizabeth Lev, a Caravaggio expert and professor of art history at the Rome campuses of Duquesne University and the University of St. Thomas.
"Caravaggio's vision was carried across the ocean thanks to these works, but now these paintings are making a pilgrimage back to the city where they were born," Lev said.

CONFESSORS: OPEN A "DIALOGUE OF SALVATION" WITH PENITENTS
VATICAN CITY, 11 MAR 2010 (VIS) - At midday today, the Pope received participants in an annual course on the "internal forum" organised by the Apostolic Penitentiary. By participating in the course, he told them, "you have shown the pressing need to dedicate deeper study to a subject that is essential for the ministry and the life of priests".
Benedict XVI recalled how this year's course coincides with the current Year for Priests, dedicated to St. John Mary Vianney, "who heroically and fruitfully exercised the ministry of Reconciliation. ... From the saintly 'Cure of Ars' we priests can learn not only a limitless trust in the Sacrament of Penance which leads us to reinstate it as the focus of our pastoral concerns, but also the method of 'the dialogue of salvation' which must be part thereof", he said.
"Awareness of one's own limits and the need to turn to Divine Mercy in order to ask forgiveness, to convert the heart and to find support on the path of saintliness, are fundamentals in the life of priests. Only someone who has himself experienced greatness can convincingly announce and administer the Mercy of God", the Holy Father explained.
The current cultural context, characterised by "a hedonistic and relativist mentality which tends to remove God from the horizon of life, does not facilitate our acquisition of a clear picture of reference values, and does not help us to discern good from evil or to develop a correct sense of sin". This, the Pope noted, is not very different from the period in which St. John Mary Vianney lived, marked as it was by "a mentality hostile to the faith, as expressed by certain forces that even sought to prevent the exercise of the priestly ministry.
"In these circumstances, the saintly 'Cure of Ars' made 'the church his home' in order to lead men and women to God", the Pope added, "and he appeared to his contemporaries to be an evident sign of God that he encouraged many penitents to come to his confessional". Thus, the Holy Father went on, "it is necessary for priests to live their own response to vocation 'exaltedly', because only someone who daily becomes living and clear presence of the Lord can arouse a sense of sin in the faithful, give them courage and stimulate their desire for forgiveness from God".
"The 'crisis' in the Sacrament of Penance, which is often spoken of, is an appeal addressed first and foremost to priests and to their great responsibility to educate the people of God in the radical demands of the Gospel. In particular, it calls on them generously to dedicate themselves to hearing sacramental confessions, and courageously to guide their flock not to conform itself to this world, but to make choices that go against the tide, avoiding deals and compromises".
Finally, Benedict XVI invited priests to open a "dialogue of salvation" with their penitents, as suggested by the "Cure of Ars". A dialogue that, "arising from the certainty of being loved by God, helps man to recognise his own sin and progressively to introduce himself into a stable process of conversion of heart, which leads to the radical rejection of evil and to a life lived in accordance with God's wishes".

Obama's Controversial Catholic Advisor
Obama has a number of strange advisors, in addition to Cardinal McCarrick.
Yes, we have to thank Rocco Palmo for spotlighting Mr. Denis McDonaugh, brother of Fr. Kevin McDonaugh, who is Obama's advisor on things Catholic. He graduated from St. John's University. Fr. McDonaugh, one of whose other brothers is also a Catholic priest. Comically, Fr. Kevin McDonaugh, formerly the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of St. Paul, Minnesota, insisted that there was no homosexual subculture in the Archdiocese, despite many priests active in one way or another in homosexualist causes. Closer to home, his brother own, Fr. William McDonaugh doesn't agree with the Church's teachings on homosexuality, and his advocacy of that cause seems more than personal.
Denis McDonaugh also has contacts, as Rocco Palmo mentions, with the Ambassador to the Holy See (another dissenter), Dr. Diaz, whom he prepared for the post.

Vatican Criticizes Condom Machines in Rome School
Yes, the Bishops in the Philippines are following through with the Pope's attack on one of modernism's false sacraments,fornication, and the Vatican renews its criticism of this mendacious evil. Condom use, despite the proliferation of their availability in the United States, doesn't seem to be the effective preventative it's supposed to be since 1 in 5 adults in the US suffers from the disease.

ROME — A Rome high school has decided to install vending machines selling condoms for its students, sparking angry reaction from the Catholic Church which claims the move will only encourage youths to have sex.
Cardinal Agostino Vallini, the pope's vicar for Rome, criticized the decision as trivializing sex.
L'Avvenire, the newspaper of the Italian Bishops' Conference, said Thursday that sex was being reduced to "mere physical exercise." The paper lamented that young people these days have no spiritual guidance when it comes to sexuality, and that educators are more concerned with "the health and hygiene consequences of sex" than the moral implications.

Kolbe Academy: A Classical Education
Suite101
Catholic education has a long history, even in the U.S. Elizabeth Ann Seton founded a Catholic school system more than two hundred years ago. The movement climaxed in 1965 with more than 5.5. million students, but began to decline after the Second Vatican Council.
Now, there is a growing interest in classical education including Catholics. In homeschools and private schools, there is a movement to return to the traditional ways of education offered in the Church for hundreds of years.
Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum
Laura Berquist wrote her book, Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum to aid Catholics to be able to develop their own Catholic home schools. In the preface, Donna Steichen describes how Catholic culture has been embattled. Secularism has taken root, with fewer and fewer faithful pursuing a true Catholic education. However, a remnant remains and is growing as parents, disgusted with the state of public education, turn back to the tried and true ways of a traditional Catholic education.
Catholic Educational Theory
Education has its roots in five main values which make a school Catholic. Veith and Kern describe this in their book, Classical Education: the Movement Sweeping America. The first value centers on man. Man is created in God's image. Because of that, students are imbued with value, creativity, significance and meaning in life, and are to live as responsible citizens in the world. Secondly, God is in all things. This means that the curriculum is seen as pointing to a transcendant God - God is in all and through all.
Thirdly, Catholic education reflects the value of community - students and teachers are encouraged towards excellence, a reflection on the whole community. Fourthly, students learn not just about the Catholic faith, but begin to learn from it. Students' minds and hearts reflect the values of the Catholic tradition. Finally, knowledge is to be attained - rational, logical thought, critical reasoning are infused at all levels resulting in a rigorous education.

Now, a major news organ finally puts the sex abuse scandal at the doorstep of the one who's in large part responsible for it, yes, and those who, driven by fear or lust for power and money, decided to serve him. No, it's not all of those things that the Church has done for the good throughout history which the modern age says are erroneous and unhealthy, it's the Devil.

What’s Wrong With Israel’s Proposed Conversion Bill
Another admission that Israel is the last confessional state in the world, simply fascinating that only a few rabbis, the ultra-orthodox, like our friend, Meir Kahane, are able to decide who is Jewish.
What’s Wrong With Israel’s Proposed Conversion Bill
Only in Israel. On the day that the U.S. vice president arrived in Israel, reportedly to thwart Israel’s bombing of Iran, and following two days of intensive talks between Israel’s prime minister and President Obama’s special envoy to the Middle East, the Israeli government almost fell ... because of a proposed bill about conversion to Judaism.
How could a conversion bill, which set out to marginally expand the list of rabbis who can perform conversions in Israel, set off a string of events that almost brought the government down? Though hard to imagine, the Israeli government coalition agreements include clauses that call for legislation to improve conversion in Israel. This week, such legislation was discussed in the Knesset law committee, and the proposed

This is nothing to lose your Faith over, as Catholic Knight suggests, it's something to steel your heart and renew your baptismal promises, and hie thee to a real Monastery for some meditation and spiritual reading; keep alive those theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity by nurturing them with good deeds and spiritual works of mercy.

Cardinal Schönborn analyzes Celibacy
He is more sly in attempting to evade criticism from Rome while placating his aging progressive constituency.
Whoever puts celibacy in the context of child abuses, acts irresponsibly. The newest author: Cardinal Schönborn of Vienna.
Cardinal Schönborn(kreuz.net) the old liberal archbishop of Vienna, Christian von Schönborn, wants to look for the causes of homosexuals violating children in the church.
That he wrote in a contribution for the collaborator magazine of the Archdiocese `to thema kirche'.
The cause of the homosexual violation of pubescent males are the result of sodomites who've crept into the Church.
But Cardinal Schönborn indicates to it cold-bloodedly and wishes everyone thereby, "a large portion honesty in the Church.“
The Prince of the Church writes up some possible causes for the homo violating:
"Applicably the question of priestly education belongs exactly to the same question about what happened in the 68er-Generation in the `the sexual Revolution'.
In addition the topic Celibacy belongs exactly to the same topic as personality development. “
Particularly irresponsible Cardinal
Cardinal Schönborn could easily foresee that this quiet allusion would be sufficiently made toward the subject of married priests; in order to obtain media concerns, his intended heading: "Schönborn analyzes Celibacy."
Any connection between Celibacy and Homo-abusing Educators was occasionally denied in the meantime.
One of the prominent experts in Germany, Hans Ludwig Kröber, does not see any indication that celibate teachers are more frequent abusers than others.
The well-known psychiatrist Manfred Lütz explained to `the Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung', that it "is particularly irresponsible to name celibacy in this connection"“
"On a conference 2003 in Rome the internationally leading experts - all not Catholic - concluded that there was in no way any connection of this phenomenon with the Celibacy. “
He wants to make himself popular for the Upcoming Diocesan Conference
Nevertheless Cardinal Schönborn keeps this misleading connection upright.
Thus it looks for Diocesan Conference in the Stepensdom Cathedral from tomorrow until Saturday sympathizers in the old liberal church wing obviously for the progressive Viennese.
Already with the first Diocesan Conference `Apostelgeschichte 2010 ' in the autumn, the delegates demanded the woman's ordination and married priests.
The invited old liberals of guests applauded these topics at that time. Cardinal S was silent and approving.
