Bombshell: Sex Abuse Rocks Islamic England

Edit:  now that English-born Muslims are outspoken, they're also far less likely to tolerate their children being beaten and sexually preyed upon by unsavory Muslim clerics.  Obviously, there will be a greater call for more government regulation. 

But where's the bombshell and where are the highly publicized "crusading" attorneys with suspicious lobbying connections to Marxist hate groups moving in for the kill?

When will the keep the Imam away from my kids jokes start making the rounds in the West End comedy clubs?
[Press Association] More than 400 allegations of physical abuse at Britain's madrassas were made in the last three years, figures show.

But only 10 cases went to court, with only two leading to convictions, raising concerns over the extent of the abuse in the part time Islamic schools, a report found.

The figures, obtained by BBC Radio 4's File on 4 under freedom of information laws, showed tighter regulation of the schools, which take up to 500,000 students a day in England, Scotland and Wales, was needed, a Muslim think-tank said.

Archdiocese plans anti-gay marriage committees in every Minnesota Catholic church

St. Mary's Lavender Basilica
Edit: good luck with that.

Monday, October 17, 2011 at 6:00 am


Archbishop John Nienstedt sent a letter to every priest in the state at the start of October urging them to put every Catholic church in Minnesota tow work passing a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

“It is imperative that we marshal our resources to educate the faithful about the Church’s teachings on these matters, and to vigorously organize and support a grass roots effort to get out the vote to support the passage of the amendment,” the letter read. It went out on Oct. 4 to every priest in the state.

The archbishop said it wants priests in every parish to identify a “church captain” in order to create an “ad hoc committee” in every church in the state. The “church captain” is a component of the Schubert Flint strategy used in 2008′s divisive Proposition 8 battle in California.

Cardinal Turkson: The Pope Will be Praying with Catholics, Not at Assisi

Edit: it looks like the Pope is going to be in Rome, praying with Catholics, and the Assisi meeting's going to be more of a cultural event.



President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace: This year's meeting of religious leaders will not include inter-faith prayers

Vatican (kath.net) "The emphasis this time is on a pilgrimage and not prayer," said Cardinal Peter Turkson, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, to CNA.

On the 27th of October in Assisi, Pope Benedict XVI. has invited 200 representatives of all religions, but he's also invited representatives from science and culture.

"In fact, as I understand the program - and it's still going to happen - there will be no prayer, or very minimal," says the Cardinal, a native of Ghana, one of the main organizers.

The present title of the meeting is called "Pilgrimage of Truth, pilgrims of freedom". It will be the twenty fifth anniversary of the world peace meeting which was held by John Paul II in 1986.

Cardinal Turkson recalled why the meeting in 1986 had drawn criticism even on himself from some Catholics groups: while he and two other African priests were assigned a Rome at Cithy Hall and a few non-Catholics were allowed to have a Church. Events like this would have triggered protests at that time.

On the even of the meeting, a vigil will be held at St. Peter's Square. "thus, the prayer will not take place there (in Assisi), it will take place here (in Rome), and meanwhile, the Pope will be among his people, other Catholics."

In ASsisi there will be a time of silence for individual prayer after lunch. All will then go into the St. Francis Basilica, where each delegate will make a promise to peace.

Even representatives of culture and science, including atheists or agnostics have been invited by the Pope since peace, is "a concern for believers and non-believers".

The Life of a Carthusian is Still Too Short



"It's not enough to retire to a place like San Bruno in Calabria as a Carthusian - just as at the wedding, it is not enough to take the sacrament of marriage just once [...]. Monks need time, practice and patience. This is precisely the beauty of every vocation: to give God time to engage us as we grow with time according to the standard of Christ. In the eyes of the world, it sometimes seems impossible to stay too long a life in a monastery. But in reality, a human life is barely enough to get into the profound unity with God to enter, in this essential and profound reality that Jesus Christ. "

From the homily of Pope Benedict XVI. in front of the Carthusian monks in the monastery of Saint Bruno southern Italy

The Diocese of Regensburg: Priest Found Not Guilty of Abuse and Reinstated

With drums and trumpets a clergyman was public hung and left hanging for ten months. He was innocent.


(kreuz.net)Father Jakob Eder (69) of St. Pankratius in Parkstein was accused of abuse in December 2010.

Because of the politically motivated condemnation without a trial of the German Bishops, he had to leave his parish immediately.

Actually the case was pulled out of the thin air.

This is what the anti-Church newspaper "Suddeutsche" regretfully admitted on the 8th of October.

Parkstein is a town in Upper Pfalz, a suburb in the Diocese of Regensburg.

A Cool Reception for the "Suddeutsche"

On the Vigil Mass on the last Saturday, the clergyman was employed again.

The 'Suddeutsche' joked that in the front end the representatives of the Diocese wanted to ready a "cool reception".

In truth the "Suddeutsche" has driven the inflammation of the irrational abuse-hoax
in Germany.

The usual Abuse Language is Used

In December of 2010 the Diocese of Regensburg published a letter from the Vicar General Micheal Fuchs about the "Dear Brothers and Sisters in Parkstein and Kindenemenreuth".

In there pulsed the usual abuse-hoax language.

The exoneration of Fr. Eder has formed "disquiet and disappointment about the decision".

Many could not understand that the accusations would apply.

Representatives of the Diocese would have liked to have been "noticeably impressed" at a meeting with the Parish Council and administration on site.


"Even on our part there applies to the proof the contrary, the presumption of innocence," claimed the vicar-general - and treated the priest as a culprit.

The diocese gave the priest's full name with a description for the abuse-crazed mob, to which German public relations made an award for the kill.

The priest was allowed to hang

Then the Diocese and the State Prosecutor let a lot of time pass.

There were ten long months were Father Eder was in the Hell of being suspected of abuse.

For three months no one said anything to him about how it was going.

Stage Managed by a Psycholigist

Later it became known that the clergyman was being slandered by a mentally ill woman from Windischeschenbach -- or it would be better to say, by her female Psychologist.

The mentally ill woman lived in the halfway house Saint Elizabeth which was directed by Father Eder from 1975 to 2000.


Guidelines Not Covered by Praxis


The prosecutor considers these guidelines in dealing with abuse-delusions to be impractical:

"What the Church described to us as lay, I would describe in such things in the Church as lay" -- he said.

It is usual for investigations by the prosecution to first collect evidence and then not to confront the accused until later with that.

The scandal-guidelines do, however, exempt an accused priest immediately from duty.

So be Father Eder came into a situation where he was indeed suspended, but did not know why.

Cardinal Schönborn: "Feminist Theology is Good For the Church"

The oustered Catholic Bishop Kurt Krenn of Saint Polten sent the former Old Liberal director of the Pastoral Office of the Archdiocese of Vienna packing with good reason.


(kreuz.net, Wien) Apparently, Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul argue against the law in cases where the law leads to self-righteousness.

The sacked Old Liberal Pastoral Administratrix of the Archdiocese of Vienna and Feminist Ideologue, Veronika Prüller-Jagenteufel, is appearing for the former 'Reichsender Vienna', aka (ORF). [Reichsender was the old Nazi radio station.]

Mrs Prüller-Jagenteufe responded tin the broadcase to the Old Liberal "Pastor's Initiative' and the theme "obedience".

Mrs. Prüller-Jagenteufel didn't offer any evidence for her theory.


Fired by Bishop Krenn

Mrs Prüller-Jagenteufel complained about a "turning point" in her life.

After her theology studies, she worked under Bishop Krenn(75)who'd been forced into retirement in 2004 for the Archdiocese of St. Polten.

After a year and a half, she was thrown out by the Bishop.


Mrs. Prüller-Jagenteufel admitted openly that the reason was: "because the [Catholic] line, which Bishop Krenn was a party to, and my [Old Liberal] Theological attachment did not go together."

She had to "depart from the job".

Endorsed by Vienna Pastoral-Ideologue

Thanks to Old Liberal connections Mrs. Prüller-Jagenteufel got a new job immediately.

The rumored Vienna Pastoral-Ideologue Fr. Paul Micheal Zulehner received her with open arms as an assistant for his Institute.

Fringe Participant in Women's Ordination Groups

Prüller-Jagenteufel belonged for a long time as "a fringe participant of even feminist groups".

She had contacts to many feminist sects which "had little or nothing to do with the Church".

The Cardinal Was Understanding

As Cardinal Christoph Schönborn asked her, if she would like to take over Vienna's Pastoral office, she agreed after giving a very long preamble:

"I am by my fundamental orientation and till now, a feminist Theologian."

Frau Prüller-Jagenteufel asked if that would work if the Cardinal were conscious of it.

Cardinal Schönborn "smirked" and answered: "This impulse will do us some good in the Church".

The Prince of the Church has expressed that there is supposed to be this alleged "diversity of opinions" in the Archdiocse's leadership.

As far as women's ordination, the Pastoral Administratrix didn't want to give the former "Reichsender" a concrete answer.

That isn't the most important question for her.

Will Pope Benedict Ditch Assisi III?

Edit: was alerted to this development. Apparently, Asssisi III isn't on the Holy Father's calender.

VATICAN CITY, SEPT. 27, 2011 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI will preside at a canonization Mass and make at least one pastoral visit within Italy in October, and in November he will make his second international trip to Africa, reports the Vatican.

Today, the Office of Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff published the Pope's event schedule for the months of October and November.

Missing from the schedule is the previously announced pilgrimage to Assisi on Oct. 27, which will mark the 25th anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for Peace, convoked by Pope John Paul II in 1986. The day is being organized under the title "Pilgrims of truth, pilgrims of peace."

Archbishop Wants More Preaching on Heaven and Hell



Fulda (KNA)The Catholic Church should, according to the lights of the Bamberger Archbishop Ludwig Schick, talk more about Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, death and judgement. "Thinking about the judgment of God helps that we recall that we're responsible for our lives on earth", said Schick on Friday in a Mass held at the conclusion of the Autumn gathering of the German Bishops' Conference. "Without judgement life loses its seriousness, its responsibility, its value", said the cleric who cited the philosopher Max Horkheimer with the question, "Why should I be good, if there's no God?"

The faith in heaven and judgement belongs, according to the Archbishop's words to the creed of the Church; it is not optional to believe it or not. "Without God as judge, even God, who has created heaven and hell and man according to his image, will fall into question. Without the judge the righteousness of God will not be taken seriously, he who gave us free will", says Schick.

Minneapolis Basilica Lights Dome Lavender in Time for "Coming Out Week"


Edit: In light of Archhbishop Nienstedt's current campaign to oppose abberosexual marriage in the state of Minnesota, it seems self-defeating that one of his largest and most visible churches, the Basilica of St. Mary's in downtown Minneapolis, is illuminating the consecrated towers and dome of this august building, with purple lights.

Apart from being a frivolous expenditure, it's clear that these flashy things lack a spiritual dimension. And in point of fact, it's time for "National Coming Out Week" which involves homosexuals having parties where they tell their poor families that they are sodomites. This event begins on the 11th of October. You might think this is all minor stuff. We hope not, but this current confluence of events and lights seems to mesh well with the Basilica's other projects, like useless and scandalous interfaith events where Rabbis, Imams and Protestants are invited to give talks. One Rabbi was even invited to give the "homily" on Good Friday Liturgy, when a the liberal Rabbi who promotes Cabbala, was allowed to take over the pulpit and do the priest's job.

St. Mary's has also participated in the Gay Pride Festival with their presence at a booth representing area "churches" who all recognize abberosexual marriage.

Of course, Father Corapi, Father Pavone, Father Donat Gionet in Canada, Father Micheal Rodriguez in Texas and Father Andreas Skobliki of Austria and the saintly Father Michel of Thieberville, France, are singled out for suspension and other canonical punishments often based on the flimsiest evidence. Some of these priests are able to speak to much larger groups of people than the others, but they all preach to churches overflowing with faithful eager to hear what they say, and by their example they reach a lot of people, by their gentleness and prayerful outlook, they bring people into the Church.

Meanwhile, creatures like the present pastor of this lavender hangout keep their jobs.

Holy Father Encourages Couples to Trust God's Will Against the World

Confront the Resistance


Italy. Yesterday, Pope Benedict visited the south Italian region of Kalabria. At the Mass he wore a dalmatic under a newly tailored baroque chasuble. In the sermon he criticized the alarming unemployment, the criminality and the wounded social structure. The Pope encouraged the newlyweds to give evidence for their faith: "When you meet the opposition of the world, said the Apostle: "I may do everything in him, in whom my power lies."



Switzerland.  Bishop Vitus Huonder of Church celebrated the Immemorial Mass in the Monastic Church in Einsiedeln.  It was a High Mass.  The Church was packed to the gills.   The occasion was the yearly pilgrimage of the Society of St. Peter, which goes from the village of St. Pelagiberg in Canton Thurgau.   The Bishop assisted Father Martin Ramm as Deacon and Father Dieter Biffart as Subdeacon.  In the Choir was the Rector, Franz Banauch of Wigratzbad, Father Alexander Metz and Father Thomas Achatz of the Berlin Institute of St. Philipp Neri.  The boys of the newly founded Catholic Musical Academy of Albbruck sang the Latin choral Mass.  In the Sermon Msgr Huonder stressted that there can't be any love without following the divine Commandments,  especially when it comes to pre-marital chastity.


Hindu Flag flown above the ruins of a Catholic Church 

India  On the Hindu feast of Dussehra -- which is celebrated on the 6th of October and concerns the victory of good over evil -- 300 extremists marched to a village in the city of Bakinga, where a destroyed Catholic Church is being rebuilt. The extremists flew the Hindu flag there. This was reported by the US-Newagency 'Catholic World News' on October. The church is located in the province of Kandhamal in the east Indian state of Orissa. It was destroyed during the anti-Christian uprising in August of 2008.

Billboard of Father Paul Marx OSB Near Modernist Monastery


Edit:  Collegeville has been a locus of dissent and a cancerous tumor in the Body of Christ since the days of Dom Virgil Michel when the social reformer alleged to have restored the appreciation for a doctrine which had gone into abeyance, the teaching of the "Mystical Body of Christ" and its social dimension in the Mass.  The reformer monk, like other reformers of the past, was anything but an ideal of the religious life.  He willfully violated the rubrics of the Mass, which is a mortal sin.  Like many revolutionaries, he had a long list of prescriptions which he claimed would address the "injustices" inherent in the Capitalist system, but while he he was short on actually describing how these systemic issues could be addressed, and just what their moral dimension was, he flaunted the authority of the organization he claimed to belong and it is our opinion that even then, long before the Vatican Council and its disasterous aftermath, that he was one of those who, like his mentors and guides, Dom Beauduin and Pius Parsch, worked assiduously to undermine it.

By the time after the Second Vatican Council when Paul VI agonized over the publication of the Church's Encyclical, Humanae Vitae, there were those, including Father Paul Marx's own brother who signed a declaration against it. But it wasn't the rebels who were disciplined and cast out, it was Father Paul Marx, himself an admirer of Father Michel, who was hounded and attacked by the Abbey and the modernists who hated him.

Here's an excerpt from Pine Curtain:

In 1980 the authorities at St. John's Abbey and St. John's University, by underhanded means, forced Father Marx to leave Collegeville and his Human Life Center and carry on his pro-life work elsewhere. The full story of this persecution is told in this book. Benedictines at St. John's, including Father Marx's own brother, Father Michael Marx, OSB, signed a statement contradicting Humanae vitae, Pope Paul IV's official teaching concerning contraception, and the faculty at St. John's University overwhelmingly refused to endorse a statement opposing abortion. Father Marx then went to Washington, with little but an automobile, and started Human Life International, which today is by far the largest pro-life institution in the world. In the same year Pope John Paul II told him: "You are doing the most important work on earth." - "Faithful for Life"

Link to Pine Curtain...

When Father Marx died last year. The present Abbot gave a "homily" which defended St. John's seamless garment approach to doctrine and its heritage of dissent from the rules.

In fact, we cited an article earlier which dealt with the Abbot's attempt to coopt Father Marx's legacy for St. John's, attempting to steal something they don't own.  Full content of the letter still available, here.

You mentioned Cardinal Bernardin's Fordham University speech about the Seamless Garment. You implied or suggested this is what Fr. Marx stood for and fought for. Actually, Fr. Marx totally opposed Cardinal Bernardin's Seamless Garment rationale. He considered it a disaster for the anti-abortion movement for at least two reasons:

1.The Seamless Garment gives Catholics an excuse to vote for pro-abortion politicians on the specious theory that these politicians are, on balance, more pro-life than their anti-abortion opponents because they have good positions on some other issues that impact life. For example, I recall one Seamless Garment evaluation of politicians that rated Senator Ted Kennedy as much more "pro-life" than Senator Jesse Helms! (Kennedy consistently voted for abortion and for public funding of abortion, and Helms was probably the Senate's most stalwart opponent of abortion.)

It also seems we're not alone. Perhaps some of the German farmers in the area, good wholesome sorts, know the real story? Here's the billboard that's up around St. John's. It's not something you'd see at St. John's, because Collegeville, as anyone will tell you, undermines the Catholic Faith in its architecture and everything it does.
Father Marx, ora pro nobis, abolish St. John's

Egyptian Army Crushes Christians With Armoured Vehicles



Edit:  the drivers of these vehicles look pretty determined to run people over.  There are thirty nine dead so far.

Remember when the secular media was excited about the so-called Arab Spring? 

It shouldn't take an expert in Middle Eastern Affairs to know what happens in the wake of an Arab Revolt. The passions run high and so even the Army and the government can't resist joining in.

Here's an excerpt of an eyewitness narrative of the events so far.

The march from the Cairo district of Shubra was huge, like the numbers on 28 January. In the front row was a group of men in long white bibs, “martyr upon demand” written on their chests. A tiny old lady walked among them, waving a large wooden cross: “God protect you my children, God protect you.”

The march started down Shubra Street around 4 pm, past its muddle of old apartment buildings, beat up and sad but still graceful compared with the constructions from the Mubarak era next to them - brutish and unfinished-looking.

A man explained why there were bigger numbers than the march last week in response to the attack on the St. George’s Church in Aswan: the army had hit a priest while violently dispersing Coptic protesters in front of the Maspiro state TV building on Wednesday. A video posted online showed a young man being brutally assaulted by army soldiers and riot police.

The Passion of Cardinal Mindszenty

Cardinal Mindszenty -- a Priceless Grain of Wheat

Munich (kath.net/KIN) Father Werenfried van Straaten, founder of  the worldwide Catholic assistance organization "Kirche in Not" [Church in Need] preached free of charge on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the year about the popular resistance against the Soviet occupation of Hungary  began on 23. October 1956.  This talk was related to the fate of the Hungarian József Cardinal Mindszenty and his example for today.

Father Werenfried knew Mindszenty personally and visited him during the uprising on the 30th of October 1956.  The talk is only available now in a CD recorded on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of +Mindszenty's death in 1985 and praised him as a "priceless Hungarian grain of wheat".

The former Primate of Hungary is said to have "taken a cross on himself such as hardly any other Cardinal had to endure", said Father Werenfried.  After his incarceration by the Communist Regime on the 26th of December 1948, he was tortured for a week.  "On nights he was beaten with a rubber truncheon and by day he was prevented from sleeping", said Werenfried.  "So he was destroyed as a man, and appeared through the peep-hole in the door as one dead."

After his release +Mindszenty finally, as Werenfried criticized, became an "was sacrificed as an object of exchange in Ostpolitik to the illusion of the diplomats ."  "He had to leave his fatherland and was maltreated exactly as God's own son, who took the form of a slave and was obedient even unto death on the Cross."  That a "spiritual giant like Cardinal Mindszenty" was subject to this obedience, is a sign of his great holiness, stressed Father Werenfried and appealed to his listeners, never to be sparing, when it so happens, to help persecuted and oppressed Christians:

"We, who bear the smallest part of the cross of Christ, remain poor for eternity, if we don't take the greatest part of the love, that which the persecuted Christians need, to take as our charge.  While our brothers are washed in blood and tears, we will be tested in love.  If we are not eager in our superabundance and not heroic in our love, then we must tremble in our eternity."

To awaken this love in men, is the mission of the organization "Kirche in Not", said Father Werenfried, and warned therefore, that the persecution of the Church worldwide is a "symptom of a spiritual battle not unleashed by men".  With a view to the situation of the Church in the West he declared:

"For decades, the Faith has only been preached reluctantly and every has been done, to undercut God's Commandments.  People have ceased in the battle against evil and aligned themselves with perversions, which the fallen man feel enamored of."

Werenfried criticized further, that the defensive system of our society is disconnected by this false pacifism.  "The result of this infection is death", insisted Werenfield and said, "the less one believes in the Devil, the more dangerous he becomes."

The Society Wants Clarifications to the Preamble

The Assistant of the General Council for the Society of St. Pius X does not want to criticize Rome -- rather to criticize modernist Rome.
Father Niklaus Pfluger



(kreuz.net) The Vatican is allowing the Priestly Society of St. Pius X to bring corrections to the text of the Dogmatic Preamble.

This was according to the First Assistant to the General Council, Father Niklaus Pfluger in an interview with the website 'piusbruderschaft.de'.

Corrections are necessary in order only to eliminate "the shades of ambiguity and misunderstandings".

The Church Must Reject the Unbelief of the 60s

The Society will give an answer to the Preamble which will mirror its statement and make a clear statement about its concern about Tradition.

It will "not engage in compromise".

Earlier agreements, which the Vatican has made with other traditional Societies are considered to be unacceptable according to Father:

"If Rome is making an offer, it must be clear and not misunderstood, that it will be for the good of the Church and expedite a return to Tradition."

Because: "It was always the most ardent desire of our founder that Tradition would bloom again in the whole world."

A canonical recognition of the Society could effect that.

"Very, Very Difficult"

Father Pfluger criticized the hasty beatification of John Paul II and the upcoming, third inter-religious meeting of Assisi.

These examples show that the "leadership of the Church" -- therefore teh Pope and Bishops -- "are now as before unwilling to give up the false principles of the Second Vatican Council and their consequences."

A Vatican offer must guarantee the freedom for the Society to "to continue its direct criticism on <>."

At the same time the cleric considers that it will be "very, very" difficult for Rome to accommodate such criticism after reconciliation.

The Conciliar Church Will Become Increasingly Weaker


Father says the situation is different now than it was in the talks with the founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre († 1991), in 1988.

The Society has four Bishops with 550 world wide.

On the other side, the structure of the official Church is ever increasingly disintegrating.

Rome therefore can "not be as confrontational as it was twenty years ago."

Blank Recognition is Media Boss's Desire

Father Pfluger insists that diplomacy plays a large roll with Rome.

The Vatican wants to save face "in public" -- the powerful media bosses.

It has been suggested too often by the media that the Pope lifted the apparent Excommunications of the Society Bishops in 2009 without concessions -- recalled Father Pfluger.

The majority of the German Bishops are against that today and still desire that the Society first make a blank recognition of the Council.

The Bishops are demanding that now as before -- and don't even respect the Pastoral Council themselves.

Scotish Bishop Meets Sectarian Leader About Homosexual Sectarianism

Edit: you mean the sectarianism of homosexual groups who want unrestricted and eager acceptance of whatever it is they do by society at large? The author of this piece shows great sagacity in identifying the problem:

However, confusion now reigns as to what is a sectarian offence. First Minister Salmond said a clause guaranteeing freedom of speech would be inserted into the legislation, while details of past sectarian-related incidents would be published. He said this would continue on an on-going basis.

The Bishop is still concerned about same-sex marriage in Scotland.

Speaking after his October 6 meeting with First Minister Alex Salmond of Scotland, Catholic Bishop Philip Tartaglia of Paisley said, “I am grateful to the First Minister, for the opportunity to have raised these matters with him in a personal way. I share the concerns of the Scottish Government that sectarianism should be eradicated from Scottish society. Fears that the wide remit of the ‘Offensive Behaviour Bill’ might impinge on the freedom to hold and express otherwise inoffensive views appear to have been recognised and are being addressed.”


Bishop Tartaglia added, “I particularly welcome the First minister’s commitment to track and analyse sectarian crime on an on-going basis using all data relating to Section 74 of the Criminal Justice Scotland Act 2003. Clearly, we cannot tackle a problem without first measuring it.”


Bishop Tartaglia concluded, “Our discussions also afforded me an opportunity to reiterate the Catholic Bishops’ publicly stated commitment to “strenuously oppose” any moves towards ‘same sex marriage’. This matter remains unresolved for the moment since the consultation is on-going. I thank the First minister for his assurance that the Government has not reached a final decision on this issue.” The bishop’s statement followed an October 6 meeting with First Minister Salmond concerning legislation now being considered in Scotland’s parliament that seeks to abolish sectarian threats and violence.

Polish Pastor's Health Damaged by Psycho-Terror of Old Liberals

Father Skoblicki
Edit: there are a few gripes from the usual quarters that this priest isn't Catholic enough. He's promoting the Catholic Faith, he's building a side altar. He's doing a lot of the right stuff and he's making a lot of the right people angry.



Pure lack of respect for human dignity:  The anti-Church Kopfinger schismatics are working with psychological terror, false reports and death threats.

(kreuz.net, Kopfing) The Pastoral administrator of Kopfing, Fr. Andreas Skoblicki, will leave his parish for a few weeks according to the media bosses.

The health of the Pastor has suffered greatly in the past weeks.

A Doctor has advised that Father Skoblicki needs three weeks to recover.

The absence is the month long psychological terror of the Old Liberal Kopfinger Schismatics in league with the anti-Church media.

The Polish clergyman  has, since he's lived as a foreigner, hardly any personal support.

Father Skoblicki has even received death threats.

He will visit his Polish home and and stay out of the line of fire of the Austrian media which seems bent on executing him.

The Diocese of Linz has said on the website 'nachrichten.at' that the Diocesan Office will put together a priestly grant.

The Diocese is already in talks with priest.

The Lies about First Communion

The regional media concern has struck for months with false reports about the Pastor.

On the most forward front the ‘Oberösterreichische Nachrichten’. is the most rabid.


The last libelous lines from the paper:  next year there is apparently not going to any "first communion".


Actually the local grade school principal -- a bitter enemy of the Pastor -- immediately denounced  the report.


The parents in the first communicants can expect a beautiful celebration in Kopfing.


Why didn't the Diocese Clear this up?

Today the ‘Oberösterreichischen Nachrichten’ has published its most recent lie under the incendiary title, "New Explosives in Kopfing".

The Pastor has built a new side altar in the Church, "without a permit".

The construction was authorized, actually, by the Construction Office in Linz.

Thusly the question remains: why didn't the Bauamt denounce the lie from the anti-Church newspaper?

Antifa-Neonazis Mobilize Their Thugs Against Life

Left extremists are allowed to rule and operate how they like.  As a diversionary ploy the Joke-Republic hides behind the Nazi-craze.  [Meaning that it can use fascism in various ways to control people.]

(kreuz.net)  The regional group of Dusseldorf's ‘Aktion Lebensrecht für Alle’ [Pro-Life for Everyone] was brought to silence by violent left-extremists last Saturday.

The pro-lifers planned a demonstration on Saturday evening, October 1st.

From the beginning of darkness till about midnight the film "Wunder des Lebens" was to play repeatedly. [here]

The ten minute cut shows the high-speed filming of the development of a person from conception to birth.

This gripping demonstration is an impressive witness against the criminal violence of abortion.


Antifa-Neonazis rule the German Streets

The Pro-Lifers didn't get to bring their plan to fruition.

Over a hundred antifa-Neonazis came to do malicious violence.  They tore the improvised video screen down and cut the power.

The left-stormtroopers shouted various insults over megaphones and speakers like, "Mary should have aborted, so we'd be spared from you", "My uterus belongs to me" and "No God, no state, no patriarchy".

By the time the riot police of the national and local police finally arrived, most of the chaotisists had disappeared.

The  urgently advised cancelling the demonstration.

The left-idiots were even in such a case looking for "reinforcements" and finally brought the situation to a point of escalation.

Why are the left shock troops tolerated?

 The moral of the story: violent street thugs of the left are tolerated to operate and rule as they wish in Germany.

The millionaire media bosses -- who would otherwise be angry -- were silent.

The disruptive action was permited to proceed unhindered and was correspondingly effective.

To begin with, there were a few members of the Dusseldorf's Pro-Life organization facing about a hundred left street thugs in age from about twenty to thirty.

The left has some private storm brigades ready with which they cheapen the state by terrorizing the population  and the media.

The Antifa-Neonazis may be pleased with themselves

The Pro-Life event was advertised last week in the major media.

Already on the next day Dusseldorf's anti-constitutional initiative "see red!" alerted their thugs on a 'Facebook' page.

The Antifa-Neonazis were determined to impose their contemptible minority opinion against the value of children.

The 'Antifa-Socialist German Worker Party' must be pleased.

Pig Roast and Sushi-bar Bishop to be Vice Chairman of German Bishops' Conference same,

The Best Sushi in Northern Germany
Germany.  Yesterday the German Bishops elected the Old Liberal Bishop Norbert Trelle of Hildesheim for six years as the Vice Chairman of the Bishops' Conference.  Up until now the Old Liberal Bishop Heinrich Mussinghoff of Aachen has held the office.  Msgr Trelle qualifies because of his Old Liberal bonifides.  He formed his earlier seminary chapel in the style of a Sushi-bar without the tabernacle.  At the beginning of September the Bishop celebrated the wreckovation of his Cathedral with a beer bash and pig roast.

Old Liberal Benedictine Abbot Against Celibacy

Edit:  It's hard to say which order is worse.  All of the major orders have men like this running the show, though.  They all seem to suffer from a sickening uniformity of doctrinal non-conformity with the Church.  What is a lack of good will, results in what looks like no faith.

Altliberaler Benediktinerabt gegen Zölibat


Austria.  Celibacy doesn't belong to the nature of Protestantism.  The ‘Reichssender Wien’ (ORF) [the inheritor of the old Reichsender which was the Nazi broadcaster in Austria] conducted an interview where Abbot Otto Strohmaier of the Benedictine Monastery of St. Lambrecht said this.  The establishment lays in the district of Murau in Styria.   Abbot Strohmaier desires priestly marriage, "because it would be possible to see again that the existence of monks and nuns is something completely unique."  Most Austrian Monks are Priests.  The Abbot can imagine that priestly marriage would be better, as it supposedly is "so challenging to live as it sometimes unfortunately is".  He avoided mentioning that there are are many problems with married clergy, as for example those that are so frequent with protestant clergy. 

Edit: the article refers to a Lutheran Bishopess who got divorced in 2007 and another female minister.

In Better Times He'd Serve Some Time at Hard Labor


Edit: these are the fruits of having a secular, pluralist and morally indifferent society.   This might be laughable, but the other fruits, which include massive divorce, drug addiction, unrest, violence and the death of art and beauty aren't so laughable.

After discovering headgear was allowed in official pictures for ‘confessional’ reasons, Alm decided a pasta strainer would be a suitable representation of his faith.

He promptly sent off his driving licence application form along with some photos of himself sporting a colander headpiece.
