Republicans, Democrats strike immigration deal with White House
'DEAL STRUCK'...."an immigration overhaul that would grant quick legal status to millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S. and fortify the border."
The plan would create a temporary worker program to bring new arrivals to the U.S. A separate program would cover agricultural workers. New high-tech enforcement measures also would be instituted to verify that workers are here legally.

[snip]

The key breakthrough came when negotiators struck a bargain on a so-called "point system" that would for the first time prioritize immigrants' education and skill level over family connections in deciding how to award green cards.

The draft bill "gives a path out of the shadows and toward legal status for those who are currently here" illegally, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

Catholic Priest Invites
Gang of 18 To Leave Church

FRONT ROYAL, VA — The Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, STL, president of Human Life International, (HLI) today said “Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro (CT-3) and seventeen other members of Congress who describe themselves as Catholic not only are ignorant of their faith but also need a civics lesson.”

Father Euteneuer was responding to their rebuke of Pope Benedict XVI in a press release from DeLauro’s office which stated that the Pope’s recent comments that Catholic politicians risk excommunication and should not receive Communion by saying, “Such notions offend the very nature of the American experiment and do a great disservice to the centuries of good work the church has done.”

Father Euteneuer said, “It is an embarrassment that a Catholic, much less a member of Congress should make such an absurd statement. Even if this statement were true, the Holy Father answers to a Higher Power than Rep. DeLauro and the Gang of 18.”

“The truth is,” Father Euteneuer said, “nothing threatens the American experiment more than the legal but unjust killing of human beings by abortion which stands in stark contrast to the very first right enumerated by our Declaration of Independence: The Right to Life. The humanity of the unborn child is no longer even debated. It is a scientific fact. Abortion is murder, and murder is against the law. Like Dred Scott before it, which violated certain citizens’ Right to Liberty, Roe v. Wade is bad, dishonest law and will eventually fall.”

“Excommunication is a pastoral and medicinal penalty, not a political one. The Pope is well within his free expression of religion guaranteed by the US Constitution—and his pastoral duty—to warn any Catholic when their eternal salvation is jeopardized by their actions” Father Euteneuer said. “This is what the Catholic Church teaches and what Catholics believe. If the Gang of 18 believes otherwise, honesty and integrity requires they find another church that tells them what they want to hear. If they have that much of a problem being Catholic, no one is forcing them to stay. We certainly don’t need their hypocrisy.”

Prayer to Saint Michael
Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

CBC TV Offends Catholics with Show Mocking Sacraments in “The Altar Boy Gang”

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is coming under fire for a new show that depicts the Catholic Mass as a background for drug and gang-related activities, in what the Catholic Civil Rights League has called blasphemy of the sacred rituals of Catholicism.

Titled The Altar Boy Gang, the show features a group of Montreal altar servers who use their role in the parish to cover up their involvement in the drug trade. Two 30-minute pilot episodes of the show were aired at nine p.m. on Friday.

CBC’s program description at CBC.ca says the show is about “Teenage boys who use their “vocation” as altar boys to be bad.”

The Communion host is shown as “munchable snack food, possible poker chips and a repository for drops of LSD,” the CCRL stated in press release May 15. “Drug-laced hosts are left in the confessional for pick-up.”

UK - 'Big Brother' in mother's womb


PM unveils early intervention measures -Mothers and their unborn babies are to be targeted for help as part of the latest drive to prevent social exclusion.

A £7.5m government trial of the US initiative - aimed at using early intervention tactics to prevent vulnerable youngsters from falling into difficulty and becoming involved in anti-social behaviour - was launched earlier this month.

The pilots are in place in 10 areas nationwide, including London's Tower Hamlets and Manchester.

Under the scheme, those considered most at risk receive weekly visits from health workers or nurses from when the mother is 16 to 28 weeks pregnant until the child is two.

They will offer mothers advice on diet, exercise, relationships and parenting skills.


Oh, so we can monitor them and offer advice? Is this plan for all mothers? And what measurement are they using to determine what mother/child is at risk?

This prevents social exclusion? Really?
And doesn't this 'initiative' scream that a child is not just a fetus at 16 weeks?!

Greensburg, Kansas - Prayers HEARD!

Prayers were louder than the tornado, says Kansas parish secretary

During the storm she crouched down and closed her eyes. She could hear things batting against the house and before long she could feel pieces of her home's new insulation in her hair. Because of the wind she could hardly keep holding the blanket she had grabbed and she held on desperately to her oxygen tank, thinking that if she went, it was going with her.

"I didn't know what was louder, the tornado or me praying," she said, pointing out that she prayed whatever came to mind and certainly said a few Hail Marys "over and over" to make sure God heard her.

"He must have, because I'm here," she was quick to add.

Without any hesitation, she said her faith was strengthened by the tornado because she is convinced she would not have survived without praying.


Before and AFTER photos to see how her prayers were answered!

House Dems repudiate Pope’s abortion remarks

Eighteen House Democrats, led by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), are responding to Pope Benedict XVI’s statement that indicated he would support Mexican bishops if they were to excommunicate Mexican legislators who voted last month to legalize abortion in Mexico City.

This is very easy: Don't present yourself to receive the BODY AND BLOOD, SOUL AND DIVINITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST in THE EUCHARIST, while you continue to obstinately fight for pro-death issues! YOU'VE excommunicated YOURSELF!

Catholic Education in the UK

Catholic schools purge

John Haldane, professor of philosophy at St Andrew’s University, made his dramatic claim at the annual conference of the Catholic Headteachers’ Association of Scotland last week. He said an increasing emphasis on secularism among intellectuals would “trickle” through society over the next 15 years.

“Some of the most powerful forces are really quite hostile to Catholic education,” he said. Professor Haldane argued that there was already a “quite determined effort to purge the public space” of Catholic education, because it was “incompatible with a new ideal of public virtue”.

The battle has been going on, only now, the battle allows HIM to enlist more warriors. What graces await each of us in this moment. Will you answer if HE calls YOU?!

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
