Socialism in the US & The Culture of Death

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

"The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192). The goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system."

More....Stimulus contains rationed medicine'Safe, effective' treatments soon to be limited by 'cost'

I spoke with a dear friend of mine last night, as President Obama's press conference was beginning. She shared with me her concerns over the condition of her brother. He lives in Hungry and was just recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Doctors found many spots on both lungs. Under their socialist medicine, he is presently scheduled and waiting a month for his CT scan of his lungs.

Here we go.... Abortion and euthanasia....

Reminder: The Year of St. Paul








Vatican II - 50th Anniversary

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of Vatican II (has anyone noticed this? & near the Feast of St. Paul's Conversion):

Pope lifts excommunications of 4 bishops

Q&A: Why has the pope welcomed back traditionalists?

Liberal archbishop drove Catholic reform



He helped lead a largely successful effort to push the American church to welcome minorities, widen the role of women, increase participation by the laity and relax some rules, such as the automatic excommunication of divorced people.


Although Jadot strongly adhered to most of the church's teachings, including its opposition to abortion, his willingness to leave some questions to individual consciences rankled some church leaders.


Priest's ministry of reconciliation - "Rev. Bernard de Margerie was a young priest, newly ordained, when Pope John XXIII put out a call for Vatican II in 1959."

Rev. Bernard de Margerie -"I coined the phrase 'ecumenical formation' or education of our Catholic people."

Everyone knows!

Judge Obama on Performance Alone

"Our history, so marred by the sin of slavery, has come to the day when a man that an old segregationist would have described as "tea-colored" -- the child of a white woman and an African immigrant, who identifies as a member of the long oppressed and despised black minority -- was chosen by a mostly white nation as the personification of America's best sense of self as a nation of power and virtue."

Am I missing something?

Please LORD, let the truth be revealed.

O Dearest, Mother Mary, Mother of God, we beg of you - your intercession for each of us - your small unworthy children.
We ask with child-like confidence that you please assist us in all our needs.
HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
May we all resolve to spend time with our Mother in daily prayer - the rosary. What graces abound and await us in those moments spent with HIS Mother - praying & living through HIS life and Hers.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

May All Have a Very Blessed, Healthy, & Happy NEW YEAR - 2009!

Update on PlainsRadio News Item

I.O., "12/31, 2:30pm CT: Ed Hale has sent an email stating that his delivery has been delayed until Friday, 1/2. We wait another day for what he has to show. We can be patient in light of how long we wait for Barack Obama to admit the truth of his ineligibility per Article II (and show us the whole truth of his actual Hawaiian birth certificate, besides)."

Be cautious of this info...as 'they' are saying (right now) that Ed Hale will be making an announcement....

Whatever...

We wait to see if this is true.....

Revealing Information from 'Ministers'

First One -from Minister Louis Farrakhan:Farrakhan on President-Elect Barack Obama (he doesn't say born in Hawaii...hmmm)

RK: Minister, I’ll get back to the theme in a second, but we have a chat room that runs live as we go live on the air, and there is some great discussion going on in there right now. “[Mr.] Thomas” from Germany [asks]: “Can Obama function as a bridge between White and Black people, as well as the Muslim and Western world?”

HMLF: Absolutely. The very fact that Barack Obama has a White mother and an African father, and he grew up in Hawaii; and even though his African father left him at two years old, his mother married an Indonesian, and moved him to Indonesia where he spent four or five years growing up, again, in a Muslim country.

Although he is a Christian, he has great depth of understanding of the Muslim world. He has grown up in a multi-cultural and multi-racial setting, so who is better to build a bridge between Black and White? Between religious differences and different ethnicities?

We thank God for this young man, and I hope that the American people will realize that he is a mercy from God to the United States of America, to help America come up out of the condition that America’s leadership has placed the American people in.


Second one from Rev. Rick Warren: Pastor talks of faith, turmoil

In the same speech, Warren described the United States as a land of immigrants, telling his audience: “I think it’s historic that we have a first-generation immigrant who’s just been elected president.”

These people know the information.

Feast of the Holy Family - Jesus, Mary, and Joseph


+ JMJ+


'Pushin' it'

A talk with The Rev. Richard P. McBrien

"And why don't you leave?"

"McBRIEN: Because it's my church. It's my home. And I was born in it. I've been a Catholic all my life. And I have affirmation from so many good people. I feel that I have a responsibility to them to continue working at it and doing the best I can."

"Born in it."

But, continues to dissent against Holy Mother Church and her teaching...


A Good Question:

"Why don't you wear a collar?"

"McBRIEN: I only wear a collar when I go to my home parish in West Hartford to say Mass on a Sunday when I'm home. My Roman collar is my television uniform. You don't see the apostles with Roman collars on. It's a custom. And the custom in the academic world is that most priests who teach in Catholic colleges and universities wear a tie or just have an open sport shirt."

And there's your answer...

Pray for Fr. McBrien and for all priests.

"Until we face the issue of mandatory celibacy and the ordination of women, we can't deal with the lack of response to the invitation to priesthood."
