MHR Sunday Bulletin - SPI's -"DELTA" "Thank You Note"
To All the Folks at Most Holy Redeemer,
Just a quick note to recognize the wonderful Mass (Oh,there they are! Look to the far left under the choir loft corner) yesterday at your Church to welcome Archbishop Niederauer. Your entire congregation was so welcoming and it was great to be able to participate in the Mass. The service was absolutely beautiful and I know that I personally walked away very inspired by both the Archbishop’s message and the angelic voices of your choir ringing in my ears! Amazing! Afterwards, one of the parishioners offered us a blue “MHRC: An Inclusive Catholic Church” pin that I was proud to wear through the Castro Fair. You are a wonderfully inclusive Church!
Best Regards,Delta (Goodhand)And this:
Street Fair (More info on 'Folsom fair')
We would like to thank the Young Adult Group for staffing the parish information booth at the Castro Street fair. Thank you also to the Support Group for facilitating the parish’s presence in this neighborhood celebration.
This is over the edge...that they (the parish) would publish this in their bulletin...come on... OBSTINATE! This also blows apart Bill O'Reilly's argument...doesn't it!? THEY WERE WELCOMED! Mr. O'Reilly there's a bigger problem in SF...and it's not just about the politicians and media!
THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL!
Again, Prayers of Reparation!
Prayer of Reparation
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore thee profoundly. I offer thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of thee the conversion of poor sinners.
REMEMBER THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED! THEY WERE WELCOMED!

One Step Away - 'Chipped Pets' 'REQUIRED'
[snip]State law requires all Texas shelters to sterilize animals that are being adopted and mark them with a tattoo or implant a microchip saying the procedure has been done. Most shelters are using microchips because it also IDs the animal. The law went into effect in 2006.
"It's one more tool to get the animal home. First and foremost, it's about reuniting the animal and the owner," said Paul Curington, operations manager for Dallas Animal Services. "But you can look at that microchip as an enforcement tool. It's a way to drive responsibility into someone."
A few jurisdictions, such as Los Angeles County, require all pets to have microchips. El Paso is alone among Texas cities in requiring them for all dogs, cats and ferrets within the city limits, said Lorenzo Hinojos, the city's animal regulation and disease control supervisor.
[snip]"It's a great idea," said Jay Sabatucci, president of the Texas Animal Shelter Coalition. "It's a relatively new idea, but I can see that coming in more places."
Most animal control officers carry scanners with them. [OUR FUTURE? Policeman carrying scanners?] They can return microchipped animals home rather than impound them, which frees up space in crowded shelters, Mr. Sabatucci said.
"Most people don't understand how the shelter business works," he said. "They don't want your animal."
The shelter charges $25 to microchip an impounded animal. Officials hope to
offer the service to the public later at a reduced cost. [Money, money,
monnnneeeyy...monnneeey...]SPCA of Texas hospitals charge $28 and Operation Kindness $15. Chips implanted by veterinarians can run from $45 to $75.

Reminder: Vatican Document on Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons
3."(Individual homosexual actions) were described...as being 'intrinsically disordered', and able in no case to be approved of...Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil; and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder. Therefore special concern and pastoral attention should be directed toward those who have this condition, lest they be led to believe that the living out of this orientation in homosexual activity is a morally acceptable option. It is not."
7."A person engaging in homosexual behaviour therefore acts immorally."
8."Nevertheless, increasing numbers of people today, even within the Church, are bringing enormous pressure to bear on the Church to accept the homosexual condition as though it were not disordered and to condone homosexual activity. Those within the Church who argue in this fashion often have close ties with those with similar views outside it...The Church's ministers must ensure that homosexual persons in their care will not be misled by this point of view, so profoundly opposed to the teaching of the Church. But the risk is great and there are many who seek to create confusion regarding the Church's position, and then to use that confusion to their own advantage."
9."The movement within the Church, which takes the form of pressure groups of various names and sizes, attempts to give the impression that it represents all homosexual persons who are Catholics. As a matter of fact, its membership is by and large restricted to those who either ignore the teaching of the Church or seek somehow to undermine it. It brings together under the aegis of Catholicism homosexual persons who have no intention of abandoning their homosexual behaviour. One tactic used is to protest that any and all criticism of or reservations about homosexual people, their activity and lifestyle, are simply diverse forms of unjust discrimination."
..."Even when the practice of homosexuality may seriously threaten the lives and well-being of a large number of people, its advocates remain undeterred and refuse to consider the magnitude of the risks involved. The Church can never be so callous. It is true that her clear position cannot be revised by pressure from civil legislation or the trend of the moment. But she is really concerned about the many who are not represented by the pro-homosexual movement and about those who may have been tempted to believe its deceitful propaganda. She is also aware that the view that homosexual activity is equivalent to, or as acceptable as, the sexual expression of conjugal love has a direct impact on society's understanding of the nature and rights of the family and puts them in jeopardy."
15."We encourage the Bishops, then, to provide pastoral care in full accord with the teaching of the Church for homosexual persons of their dioceses. No authentic pastoral program will include organizations in which homosexual persons associate with each other without clearly stating that homosexual activity is immoral."
17."All support should be withdrawn from any organizations which seek to undermine the teaching of the Church (regarding homosexual behavior), which are ambiguous about it, or which neglect it entirely. Such support, or even the semblance of such support, can be gravely misinterpreted. Special attention should be given to the practice of scheduling religious services and to the use of Church buildings by these groups, including the facilities of Catholic schools and colleges. To some, such permission to use Church property may seem only just and charitable; but in reality it is contradictory to the purpose for which these institutions were founded, it is misleading and often scandalous."
"During an audience granted to the undersigned Prefect (Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger), His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, approved this Letter, adopted in an ordinary session of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and ordered it to be published."

Archbishop Nierderauer Responds
"At Most Holy Redeemer Church Oct. 7, I noticed no protest, no demonstration, no disruption of the Sunday Eucharist," said Archbishop Nierderauer. "The congregation was devout and the liturgy was celebrated with reverence. Toward the end of the Communion line two strangely dressed persons came to receive Communion. I did not see any mock religious garb. As I recall, one of them wore a large flowered hat or garland."
MHR- VIDEO - Mass with SPI & Archbishop Niederauer-
In this month of the HOLY ROSARY... I beg Prayers of Reparation before the Blessed Sacrament:
O My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love you! And I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, and do not love you.
Prayer of Reparation
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore thee profoundly. I offer thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended.
Eucharistic Prayer
Most Holy Trinity, I adore you! My God, my god, I love you in the Most Blessed Sacrament!
Sacrifice Prayer
O my Jesus, it is for love of you, in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and for the conversion of poor sinners.
Why I am not a Republican-J. Corsi
[snip]We now have 10 percent of Mexico's population living in the United States as Mexican nationals. As a result, we have already become a dual country, whether we like it or not, and I don't remember that anybody was ever given the chance to vote on it.
Electing Republicans is not my priority. Electing moral Christian politicians who will remain true to constitutional principles is my goal.
[snip]
[snip]My point is that there are not enough Republican Party true believers to win a national presidential election without the moral Christians brought into the GOP by Ronald Reagan.
Today, unfortunately, on issues of illegal immigration and open borders, it is hard to tell apart many Republicans from most Democrats.
If we get a Bush-Clinton dynasty extending to a Hillary Clinton presidency, we will get more globalism. But the problem is that all the top tier Republican candidates for president are themselves members of the Council on Foreign relations. So what's the difference?

FOX: Long term, very long term. What we propose together, President Bush and myself, it's ALCA, which is a trade union for all of the Americas. And everything was running fluently until Hugo Chavez came. He decided to isolate himself. He decided to combat the idea and destroy the idea...
KING: It's going to be like the euro dollar, you mean?
FOX: Well, that would be long, long term. I think the processes to go, first step into is trading agreement. And then further on, a new vision, like we are trying to do with NAFTA.

Plan A: Keep “Plan B” Out of Catholic Hospitals
from Catholic Media Coalition's, Pres.-Mary Ann Kreitzer:
Your Excellencies:
I am writing with a profound sense of sorrow at your recent decision to allow Catholic hospitals in Connecticut to administer the abortifacient Plan B to women who are the victims of rape. It is simply inaccurate to state that "administration of Plan B pills in this instance cannot be judged to be the commission of an abortion because of such doubt about how Plan B pills and similar drugs work." That statement is simply untrue. Not only does the manufacturer of the Plan B regimen admit that one of the drug's modes of action is to prevent implantation of a developing baby, but the FDA states it as well. The way Plan B and other abortifacient "contraceptives" work is well-known. As a natural family planning teacher and crisis pregnancy counselor, I've been explaining it to women for years. While one doesn't know the mode of action in a particular case, it is certain that many babies are killed when these drugs turn the womb into a hostile environment. To allow Plan B because how it works in a particular case is unknown is like saying one can shoot a gun in a dark room because it's possible no one is there.
Please, Your Excellencies, withdraw this flawed statement that will corrupt our Catholic health care facilities by making them accomplices in murdering children. If the government can coerce complicity in Plan B abortions, coercion of later term abortions cannot be far behind. We need you to stand up to a government that has long-since abandoned the Constitutional principle of freedom of religion. In addition, consider the corrupting influence on Catholic doctors, nurses, and pharmacists giving a drug proven to cause early abortions. Please don't let yourselves be known as the bishops who washed their hands like Pontius Pilate as they sent the innocent ones to death, executed, like Jesus, for the sins of others.
Please rescind your statement, instruct Catholic hospitals not to dispense this drug, and fight the government's coercion in the courts. It would be better to close every Catholic hospital in Connecticut than to cooperate with this evil decision.
Sincerely in Christ,
Mary Ann Kreitzer

Because you are the "medicine of God," I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor {mention your petition} and the great grace of purity of prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Saint Raphael of the glorious seven who stand before the throne of Him who lives and reigns, angel of health, the Lord has filled your hand with balm from heaven to soothe or cure our pains.

Common Ground Initiative - Cardinal Avery Dulles -“Common Ground, Solid Ground,”
[snip]However Cardinal Dulles, widely considered one of America’s top theologians, said it was never Cardinal Bernardin’s intention to invite attacks on doctrine.
He said Cardinal Bernardin advocated for respectful listening, not doctrinal compromise. Additionally, Cardinal Bernardin believed polarizing disagreements frequently center on pastoral, not doctrinal issues.
Keep reading...I'm still pondering this article/lecture....hmmmm.During the lecture he referred to the pastoral instruction “Of the Means of Social Communication,” issued in 1972 by the Pontifical Commission for the Means of Social Communication.
“This instruction, while dodging the thorny question of dissent, advocated a responsible exchange of freely held and expressed opinion among the people of God, so that all may arrive at a loving consensus of truth under the guidance of the magisterium,” Cardinal Dulles said.
However, during the lecture, the cardinal criticized American Catholics who reject church teaching.
While they see the church as their home “… they do not really believe that the church can issue binding decisions about questions of truth and morality, and for this reason they contend that individual Catholics have a right to dissent, at least in their thoughts and private utterances,” he said.

Giuliani Cites Bible on Personal Life
Again...everybody always leaves out the other actual lesson HE said and taught...."I'm guided very, very often about, `Don't judge others, lest you be judged,'" Giuliani told CBN interviewer David Brody. "I'm guided a lot by the story of the woman that was going to be stoned, and Jesus put the stones down and said, 'He that hasn't sinned, cast the first stone,' and everybody disappeared.
"It seems like nowadays in America, we have people that think they could've passed that test," he said. "And I don't think anybody could've passed that test but Jesus."

It is hard to believe that if you knew exactly what kind of event the Folsom Street Fair is that you would want Miller to be sponsoring it. That is why I am sending the enclosed photos of this event (taken from previous years) to you.
In the outside chance you are not disturbed by these photos, please show them to your mother, wife and daughters.
I trust that you will do the right thing and withdraw sponsorship of this event immediately. Rest assured that we will not walk away from this issue. The public is rallying to our side, emboldening us to stay in this fight for as long as it takes.
"Over 200 religious organizations spanning six faith communities were sent a letter yesterday asking them to join us in the boycott. If S&M Miller doesn't pull its sponsorship, we will announce a game plan on Monday that will make the company regret it ever decided to insult Christians."
We have to PRAY FOR HER AND ALL THAT HAVE HARDENED THEIR HEARTS!
Dear LORD, send your HOLY SPIRIT and Archangel Gabriel to open their hearts to hear HIS TRUTH and repent.
