The future? City plan for ID cards hits a nerve
The purpose of the card, which is available to everyone, but pitched to senior citizens, students, children and immigrants, would allow access to city libraries and parks, while a debit component would facilitate purchases at some 50 stores and payment at parking meters.
Documents needed to verify identification are the same as those required by banks to open accounts, so it is viewed as a way to get immigrants to use banks to make them less vulnerable to thefts.

MATT -Mexicans and Americans Thinking Together - What's this?
Watch this video too.
Instead of 'building walls' this 'foundation' - 'think tank'-proposes building a different wall altogether-
[snip]One of the major proposals incubated at MATT would provide unprecedented investments in small businesses in Mexico. Instead of spending $7 billion to build the impractical and un-American border wall, the money should be used to build a wall of wealth in Mexico that will benefit both nations.
A decade ago, U.S. officials funded a venture with Mexico called the North American Development Bank (NADBank). Based in San Antonio, Texas, this bank was created as a response to environmentalists who were concerned about the impact the new trade agreement would have along the U.S.-Mexico border. To date, this money has not been used effectively and much of it remains uncommitted.
VeriChip, Biometrics, Immigration, and other Issues
Then watch these clips...you decide!
Republican Candidates Questioned on Real ID, Biometrics and Verichip
Update...today info on what is taking place in Canada...Canada quietly paving way for national ID card
Look at what Michelle Malkin wrote in 2005 about the SPP...Welcome to "North America"The United States, the researchers say, appears to be driving these changes through three policy initiatives. One is the 2001 Canada-U.S. Smart Border Declaration. Another is the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), initiated in 2005. The third is the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which will require Canadians to present a passport or other secure document when entering the United States.
And this from Judical Watch:New “Security & Prosperity Partnership” Records Reveal Proposal for U.S.-Canadian Funded Grants for Mexico
Michigan issues illegal aliens drivers licenses [and voter registrations?]....hmmmmm!The “work plan” details 24 specific “deliverables” by officials from the U.S. Treasury, Finance Canada, BANXICO, the Federal Reserve Board – Atlanta, and regulatory agencies from all three countries. The deliverables include “cross-border” cooperation in the areas of car insurance, Social Security totalization for Mexico, banking, and Federal Reserve’s “Directo a Mexico” remittance program.
Among the specific deliverables outlined in the “work plan” is a taxpayer-supported program to improve Mexico’s infrastructure: “Improve North America’s competitiveness by enhancing Mexico’s competitive position through the establishment of a grant fund for development with U.S. and Canadian resources to finance the development of physical infrastructure in Mexico.” The objective has a timeline for completion of 6-18 months.
And so what's such the hurry to get the Immigration Bill passed? Bush appeals for return of immigration bill --Something smells so very FISHY!
What do you think this is all about?"The president urged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to bring the bill back for another vote quickly and continued his pitch on some of its more controversial points."

A 'Pass' in New Haven,Connecticut
City officials approved a plan Monday to offer illegal immigrants identification cards that would let them open bank accounts and use other services that may be unavailable without driver's licenses or state-issued IDs.
"Today I Am Proud To Call New Haven My Hometown"
I'm all for people coming to our country and doing the right thing when they get here...but if we appeared at a bank without a license-ID and wanted to open an account, we'd be stopped in our tracks. That's discrimination against law abiding citizens. This is just one more reason the currently proposed Immigration Bill needs to be scratched totally! Contact your Senator and Representative today!
And one more thing...have you seen the commercial from the Texas Employers for Immigration Reform (TEIR)? I don't LIKE IT! Their supporters here.

NCReporter - DISSENT
This is what the Church is supposed to teach! IT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE!The Catholic hierarchy’s approach to abortion is, as the Vatican most recently described it, “not negotiable.” So not negotiable, in fact, that Catholic public figures, commentators and policymakers who express pro-choice views, or even voice support for contraception, risk public admonition and denial of Communion. I am concerned when bishops threaten to use Communion as a political weapon. Thank God only a tiny minority is so extreme as to threaten such an abuse of the sacrament.
LIFE -we have to defend IT always! And I beg to differ that there exists a 'tiny minority' that would 'use Communion as a political weapon'. WE have BXVI!
Until that happens, lay Catholics must take the lead and keep up the pressure on our policymakers to introduce policies that will be effective in reducing the need for abortion.
LORD HAVE MERCY!
Slaughter predicts passport failure
The Bush administration’s proposed requirement for passports to cross the U.S. border from Canada will not meet a Jan. 1 deadline and may never be implemented by a new administration, Rep. Louise M. Slaughter predicted Monday in Buffalo.
The Fairport Democrat called the idea “one of the biggest mistakes I think they’ve made — among many” and said there is “no way” the Department of Homeland Security can meet a Jan. 1 target when it hasn’t even determined whether it will require passports or ultimately settle on some other form of identification.

hearts the sweet empire of Your love. Pope Pius X, 16 June 1906

Catholic bishop calls deportation policies immoral
Opponents of illegal immigration have expressed concerns about the church lobby effort, arguing that church leaders are encouraging illegal behavior by ignoring the fact that undocumented migrants have violated federal immigration laws.
Barnes and Soto argue that the current immigration debate fails to make the connection between the economic system that encourages such migration and produces low-priced products and services.
"Those that have been given more," Barnes said, "have a moral obligation to help those with less."
Erie, Pa - Bishop Trautman 'stirring it up'!
Proposed rewording of Catholic Mass draws defiance
In a rare show of defiance, a Roman Catholic bishop is using increasingly fiery language to spark a grass-roots revolt against a new Vatican-ordered translation of the Mass.
[snip]Bishop Donald Trautman of Erie, Pa., chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on the Liturgy, has used several essays and speeches to denounce the proposed translations, which he calls "not acceptable."
Tooo bad! BXVI's in charge! You gotta get in line BEHIND BXVI! HE leads us and we are ALL to follow!"He's really being a true churchman," Father Reese said. "He's putting the good of the church over his own advance or standing in the Vatican or with other bishops."

Catholic teachers 'must take public vow'
This is strange...why would you send this around to parishes for comment? Maybe to float a balloon, or placate someone? This would be like me asking to take a vote on the 10 commandments. Give me a break. Or unless this is a way for the media to leak this info to everybody before it gets to the parishes. If momma and daddy are in charge they don't take a vote or ask comments from the children about how they're going to discipline them. Talk about misguided compassion. Cardinal Pell should say this is what we're going to do and stand by it! Don't ask for ANY COMMENTS! Craziness.
The Catholic archdiocese of Sydney wants its school leaders to publicly commit to a vow of fidelity by adhering to church teaching on homosexuality, birth control and women's ordination.
The vow would apply to its 167 principals, its deputy principals and religious education coordinators and would be a first for the Australian church, Fairfax newspapers report.
The Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal George Pell, is behind the move to extend the oath - which is a requirement of church law for bishops, priests and heads of seminaries - to all senior educational leaders.
The requirement is contained in a draft pastoral plan circulated to all parishes of the Sydney archdiocese for comment.

Columbariums BANNED in Florida
Wiser heads are now prevailing...
Bishops don't want responsibility of caring for 'burial grounds'
Ahhh, too late...remember New Jersey's -Bishop Paul Bootkoski of the Metuchen Diocese?For a combination of earthly and theological reasons, the bishops have banned construction of new columbaria -- or cremation vaults -- at the state's Catholic churches. While funeral home directors like Dave Woodward, Holly Hill, say cremation is a popular trend in the funeral industry, Archbishop John C. Favalora of Miami said he worries about the legal ramifications of local churches taking on cemetery-like responsibilities.
"The care and tending of burial grounds is not a parish's primary mission, and its grounds are not set aside in perpetuity for that purpose," said the archbishop in an open letter last month. In a sentimental note, Favalora recognized that parish columbaria are "well-intentioned attempts to return to the ancient practice of having church members buried in the church yards."
But Catholic leaders also fear the parish columbaria will give the wrong impression that the church favors cremation over burials.
"This is what's happening today. This is the reality. It is the wave of the future."

I'm Confused! Catholic Crematorium?
"This is what's happening today. This is the reality. It is the wave of the future," said Bishop Paul Bootkoski of the Metuchen Diocese, which is building the crematory. "We're going along with what our Catholic population is looking for."
So, now dioceses are allowing columbariums and crematoriums? The Cathedral of another diocese has recently built a columbarium on their property and I understand that the diocese has allowed (& promoted-?)the building of Columbariums. I can't understand why this is being allowed. If we're teaching that cremation should not be encouraged then why are 'we' building them on church properties?

Evangelizing with a smile
"I am hopeful I can walk again, but I am more hopeful that God will restore in me what he wants to," Father Ogbuji told the Arkansas Catholic, Little Rock diocesan newspaper. "Even if he doesn't, I will still be the same person."Life is not just about physical appearances. It's much more than that," he added.
"Life is more about the image of God. It's about patience and understanding and accepting the will of God even if it conflicts with your own personal plans. Life is about service (even) if you are only able to smile at people. Even if I can't use my legs and limbs, I can smile and help people who are going through the same things."

Something to be proud of...NOT!
A forerunner of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, the Clergy Consultation Service was a network of more than 1,400 ministers and rabbis who, despite the risks of public censure and criminal prosecution, helped thousands of women obtain safe abortions in the years before the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade making abortion legal. At that time, as many as 1 million women underwent dangerous illegal back-alley or self-induced abortions each year, without safety standards and often in unsanitary and dangerous conditions.
LORD HAVE MERCY!
Spiritual Warfare - Fr. Euteneuer before Pentecost
[snip]In a few months I will publish a book on exorcism and deliverance by which I hope to educate the Church Militant on the reality of spiritual evil and the truth of the Church’s power against it. On this weekend where our Church celebrates Pentecost, the great Feast of the Holy Spirit, I offer an excerpt from this upcoming book to highlight the influence of the Holy Spirit in defending our cause against the accusing spirit of the devil. If we are to fight for the salvation of souls, we must know our enemy and experience God’s love as the protective shield against all his evil.
We will all need to learn these lessons. Thank you, Fr. Euteneuer, for your courage and wisdom and for sharing it with the warriors under your charge. And I too, pray that the HOLY SPIRIT will bless all of us with the gifts needed to assist GOD OUR FATHER in these battles.As we celebrate the feast of Pentecost with our Church, let us make a profound act of faith in the Holy Spirit, that, no matter how evil our times may be, God will never abandon to the power of evil those who call upon Him. Let us call upon the Holy Spirit to protect us and our loved ones and to renew the face of the earth!
VeriChip - The Future
And it will be a matter of time. Again, why would this company offer to implant for free the chip in the arm of a emergency personnel and their families?--"free to emergency services personnel and their families in tribute to Emergency Medical Services Week."Yet to be approved by insurance companies as a covered procedure, the concept is still relatively new for use in people but based on the ongoing push by the company and its placement of chip readers in the hands of doctors, insurance company approval is strictly a matter of time.
Why? How does this help them and their families?
Device holds key to medical history
Again, what is the purpose?That hasn't stopped VeriChip from pushing its product. Firefighters, police officers and emergency medical workers, and their families, can have the chip implanted for free and maintain the service for life through Wellington Regional. They must sign up by Friday at the hospital's emergency services area.
Tranchant lifted weights a few hours after his implant - working on his triceps, no less. He's hoping his initiative will inspire others in law enforcement and the fire service to do the same.

APPLIED DIGITAL PRESS RELEASE HERE
CONTACT YOUR SENATORS!
'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.
What's wrong with the laws we already have?

Day 2 Novena to Our Lady Help of Christians
PRAYER ALERT - Fr. Euteneuer 'Calls Out' 'Gang of 18' - Dems
Catholic Priest Invites
Gang of 18 To Leave Church
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 & ACTION ALERT - Contact The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
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.”
Blessed be God.
Blessed be His Holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man.

UK - 'Big Brother' in mother's womb
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.

Greensburg, Kansas - Prayers HEARD!
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.

Catholic Education in the UK
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.
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?!“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”.

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