Christians, Islam and the Future of Europe

«How, and why, Islam can be part of “Catholic” Europe. On two conditions: a strong Christianity, and Muslim self-reform. A conference held in Denver, Colorado, at the invitation of the archdiocese.»

Notice the idiocy of the premise of this conference: «Muslim self-reform» is an impossibility, since Satan will never allow one of his chosen instruments for his attack on the Body of Christ to «reform» itself and become less useful to his evil plans. With respect to His Excellency, Archbishop Chaput, Islam is a gutter religion, founded by Satan, using the pædophile Muhammad, may he be damned eternally, as his instrument. It is the enemy of our Divine and Catholic Faith and must be treated as such. Awake, Christendom!

President rejects prime minister's request on partnership law

Once again, I ask my readers prayers and those of St Vaclav, for Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, that he may persevere and veto this attempt at «legalising marriage» for unrepentant sodomites.

From Radio Prague:

President Vaclav Klaus has rejected a written request by the prime minister urging the president to sign a bill on same-sex partnerships, which has been passed in both houses of Parliament. Through a spokesman on Sunday Mr Klaus criticised the prime minister, indicating he would not allow himself to be dragged into what he called a 'pre-election campaign'. The bill on same-sex partnerships recognises gays and lesbians' right to inherit from their partner, and also allows access to medical information. But, the president has suggested the bill is a threat to traditional institutions - namely traditional marriage. Mr Klaus has until next Thursday to decide whether to sign the bill, to veto it, or to allow it to pass into law minus his signature.

Anti-Christian Bias Seen in EU Governance

Note well the last sentence: «a community with no values cannot be either built or maintained.»! The EU as it exists, must be destroyed! Awake, Christendom!

TURIN, Italy, FEB. 10, 2006 (Zenit.org).- The faithful in Hungary often feel as if an anti-Christian minority rules over the European Union legislation and governance, says a bishop.

"Well, maybe our weak testimony may have helped," wrote the secretary-general of the Hungarian bishops' conference, Bishop Andres Veres, in a statement to Italian episcopate's SIR news service.

Taking stock a year and a half after Hungary's accession to the European Union, Auxiliary Bishop Veres of Eger noted that in the country "the number of disappointed people has increased."

"The government has not informed them appropriately," he said, and the "conditions of such accession have never been enforced."

He also cited the absence of "that spiritual communion that could create common values for the European peoples," and added that a "community with no values cannot be either built or maintained."

Some Wonderful Quotes On The Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass

"The Church must steadily and firmly heed that although the language of the people may change, the language of liturgy should not be altered. Thus, the Mass must be said in the language in which it was said from the beginning, even if such a language be already, antiquated and strange to the people, for it is wholly enough, if the learned men understand it. "

~Pope Benedict XIV

On the Mass in Latin:
"If there are some present who do not understand what is being said or sung, they know at least that all is said and sung to the glory of God, and that is sufficient for them to join in it devoutly. "

~ St. Augustine

"Mass badly celebrated is an enormous evil. Ah! it is not a matter of indifference how it is said! . . . I have had a great vision on the mystery of Holy Mass and I have seen that whatever good has existed since creation is owing to it."
~ Anne Catherine Emmerich

When you are before the altar where Christ reposes, you ought no longer to think
that you are amongst men, but believe that there are troops of angels and
archangels standing by you, and trembling with respect before the sovereign
Master of Heaven and earth.? Therefore, when you are in church, be there in
silence, fear, and veneration.?

~St. John Chrysostom


"If there are some present who do not understand what is being said or sung, they
know at least that all is said and sung to the glory of God, and that is sufficient for
them to join in it devoutly."

~ St. Augustine


"If there is anything divine among man's possessions which might excite
the envy of the citizens of heaven (could they ever be swayed by such a
passion), this is undoubtedly the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, by
means of which men, having before their eyes, and taking into their
hands the very Creator of heaven and earth, experience, while still on
earth, a certain anticipation of heaven.How keenly, then, must mortals strive to preserve and protect this
inestimable privilege with all due worship and reverence, and be ever on
their guard lest their negligence offend the angels who vie with them in
eager adoration!"

~ Pope Urban VII in 1634

The essential beauty [of the Mass] remains, whether the holy rite be performed under the golden vault of St. Peter's or in a wretched wigwam, erected in haste by some poor savages for their missionary.

--Pope Pius IX


"Nothing is so consoling, so piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass, said as it is among us. I could attend Mass forever, and not be tired. It is not a mere form of words; it is a great action. The greatest action that can be on earth. It is. . .the evocation of the Eternal."

~ John Henry Cardinal Newman

The New Martyr Andrea's Last Letter

Last Published Letter of a Murdered Priest
Father Santoro Writes of Vocation to Bridge the West and Mideast

ROME, FEB. 6, 2006 (Zenit.org).- Here is a translation of the last letter published by Father Andrea Santoro, in the magazine Window to the Middle East, which he founded in Italy.

The 60-year-old priest was shot and killed Sunday while praying in his parish in Trabzon, Turkey.

* * *

Beloved,

I am writing from Rome, where I have spent three weeks before returning to Turkey. They have been very intense days, dedicated to testimonies, meetings, catechesis, conferences, and times of prayer. Everything has been oriented to promote information and knowledge between the Middle East, seen through my personal experience, and our West, in line with the objective of Window to the Middle East.

I have found everywhere interest and participation, a sincere desire to understand and to establish bonds of communion. I have seen the importance and the possibility of undertaking an exchange of spiritual gifts between these two worlds. The Middle East, great "holy land" where God decided to communicate himself in a special way with man, has its riches and the capacity, thanks to the light that God has always infused, to illuminate our Western world.

But the Middle East has its darkness, its problems, often tragic, and its "voids." It needs, therefore, in turn that that Gospel that came from there be sowed again and that the presence of Christ be proposed again there. It is a reciprocal "re-evangelization" and an enrichment that the two worlds can exchange.

Meanwhile, in Trabzon, the minute Christian community has met every Sunday morning to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word and the Church has been opened twice a week to Muslims, under the responsibility of a trustworthy person. I will let you know how it goes.

I greet you, commending these reflections to you and exhorting you to always put faith in contact with the present moment. It must not be an abstract and generic faith, but a faith like that of the first "beginnings," which has been transmitted to us from generation to generation. As the Gospel says, leaven has a mysterious capacity to ferment the dough, if it comes into contact with it -- the dough of all times, all places, all generations.

Moreover, Jesus said: "I am the light of the world, he who follows me will not walk in darkness." If his light illuminates us, not only will it illuminate every situation, even the most tragic, but in addition we too, as He always said, will be light. The tenuous light of a candle illuminates a house, an extinguished lamp leaves everything in darkness. May he shine in us with his Word, with his Spirit, with the sap of his saints. May our life be the wax that is consumed willingly.

Affectionately,

Father Andrea

I'm posting this piece by an infidel swine because it is a «moderate» Muslim calling for «civic responsibilty». In other words, «Just be polite, you dhimmi dogs, and don't offend us!».

But there is another, much more serious reason for this post. In the article, the writer says, «(It)t is against Islamic principles to represent in imagery not only Muhammad, but all the prophets of Islam. (emphasis supplied) This is a clear prohibition.» Remember, our Blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, is honoured by the Muslims as a Prophet. If we give into the jihadist swine on the cartoon controversy, how long until they demand, in the name of «civic responsibility» that we remove the statues and pictures of our Blessed Lord from our Churches and our homes? Remember, too, that to the followers of the gutter religion, we are blasphemers because we worship the Triune God. According to them we have blasphemously divided God and made a man into a God. Despite what the liberal dhimmis say, we do not worship the same God as the Muslims! Muslims out of Europe!

From Radio Prague, 06.II.06:

Czech Miloslav, Cardinal Vlk has expressed sympathy with Muslims protesting against newspaper prints of Prophet Mohamed caricatures. His Eminence says Christians have also had to come to terms with several examples of what he called the "defamation" of Christian religious figures. Their objections, however, have not been heard because Christians are less sensitive and not as quick to fight for their beliefs. The Cardinal added that the media "crosses the limits of freedom of speech" when it insults religious figures with examples like the Prophet Mohammed cartoon.

It's Begun!

Breaking news - we have our first martyr. A teenage boy shot and killed the Italian Roman Catholic priest of a church in the Black Sea port city of Trabzon on Sunday, shouting "God is great" as he escaped, according to police and witnesses.

The priest was Fr Andrea Santaro, on secondment to Trabzon (Trebizond/Τραπεζούντα in Byzantine times) from the Diocese of Rome, and had just celebrated Mass. To think the Holy See made a statement supporting the just right for respect of the religious feelings of the Muslim world not long ago.

On the other side of the Bosphorus, we could also petition our hierarchs to add extra petitions to the litanies at Divine Liturgy, Vespers and Orthros (Matins): 'That the Lord our God may be mindful of our suffering brothers living under bitter tyranny and break the power of the fierce Hagarenes, let us pray to the Lord - Lord have mercy'.

«They Came for the Jews»

By Dr Brooks A. Mick, from The Conservative Voice

Some may recall the famous Martin Niemoller quotation:

"They came for the Communists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Communist; they came for the Socialists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Socialist; They came for the labor leaders, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a labor leader; They came for the Jews, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Jew; Then they came for me - And there was no one left to object." -Martin Niemoller, German Protestant Pastor, 1892-1984

It has application today.

First they bombed the Israelis, and I didn’t protest, for I was not an Israeli. Then they struck the Americans, and I paid lip service for a few days. (Sometimes I secretly cheered them on.)

Then they bombed the Spanish trains, and I didn’t stand up, for I was not a Spaniard. Then they bombed the British subway, and I didn’t protest, for I was not a Brit. Then they came for the Danish cartoonists, and I didn’t protest, for I was not a Dane. By the time I realized they were out to destroy western civilization in its entirety, including sympathetic, warm-hearted, fuzzy-headed left-wing moonbats like me, it was too late.-George Soros, George Clooney, Jacques Chirac, Steven Spielberg, John Kerry, et. al.

Oh, all right, I made up the signatures too. But I can just hear them screaming out, as the Muslim extremists torch the movie studios and burn their books and chop off their heads, “Were you guys serious?”

Ninth Circuit Says: Go Ahead and Kill the Children

Many years ago, when I was young and stupid (but already a blooming intellectual), I «ghost wrote» term papers for a fee. One day a friend came to avail himself of my services. He had a paper assigned in an ethics class which required him to choose an article from a recognised philosophical journal, either pro-abortion or pro-life, and write a rebuttal against it. I accepted the job and chose a pro-abort article to rebut (obviously!). After reading the article, however, I was so angry that it took me three days to begin the paper. Why? Because the writer, who was a short time later apointed «philosopher-in-residence» at Wichita State University in Kansas, argued that not only was abortion acceptable, but that since children did not fully develop their personalities for the first couple of years of life, infanticide until the age of two should also be acceptable! The Loony Ninth has set us on this «philosopher's» path! God have mercy on our society!

Our Holy Father Defends Marriage And The Family

Concern Over Fate of the Family
Pope and Prelates Warn of Threats to Foundation of Society

ROME, FEB. 4, 2006 (Zenit.org).- The future well-being of society depends on strengthening family life. This is a constant message in many of the Pope's recent speeches. On Dec. 1, in a speech to the newly arrived ambassador of St. Lucia to the Holy See, Benedict XVI stated that "the sacred institution of marriage is vital to the well-being of every nation."

He warned that "any hope for renewal of society which does not adhere to God's plan for matrimony and the family is destined to founder, for it is there that the God-given dignity of every person is first realized and the self-esteem necessary for mature adult relationships is first experienced and nurtured."

In the face of current challenges to marriage, both civic and religious authorities need to work together to uphold this vital institution, the Pope insisted.

In his speech to another new ambassador, from France, on Dec. 19, the Pontiff called for "special attention on the institutions of marriage and the family." These institutions are, he said, "the basis of social life."

The Holy Father had earlier referred to the recent riots by young people in France. Marriage and the family, he said, "have an irreplaceable role in the education of the young, combining authority and emotional support, imparting to all young people the values that are indispensable to their personal development and sense of the common good, and the necessary reference points for social life."

The Pope has also raised the issue of family life in a number of meetings with bishops. On Nov. 18 he told visiting bishops from the Czech Republic that they had done well to make family life one of their pastoral priorities. The family is a basic building block of society, and plays a vital role in handing on the Christian faith, the Pontiff noted.

On Dec. 3 he spoke to the presidents of Latin American episcopal commissions for family and life. Marriage and the family, noted Benedict XVI, are threatened both by the phenomenon of secularization and the pressure of unjust laws that fail to recognize their fundamental rights. As a result, "Today, it is necessary to proclaim with renewed enthusiasm the Gospel of the family," he said.

Elementary truths

The Pope has also spoken about family life to local Italian groups. On Dec. 30, the day when the Church celebrated the feast of the Holy Family, he visited the Vatican's St. Martha's dispensary.

In his speech to those working there, Benedict XVI thanked them for their devotion in helping children and their parents. The mission of being parents, he noted, often receives little help from modern society.

Then, in a Jan. 12 encounter with government officials from Rome and the surrounding Lazio region, he noted that in recent years the family has been a priority for the local diocese.

Benedict XVI explained that in insisting on support for the family the Church is not imposing Catholic doctrine or morality on a secular society. Rather, it is a question of "elementary truths that concern our common humanity." For government officials to respect these truths is perfectly legitimate since these realities are "essential for the good of the person and of society," the Pope said.

He further contended that local government can play an important role in supporting young couples, particularly regarding matters such as the cost of housing, and the availability of nurseries and schools.

And, in a clear reference to efforts to claim legal status for de facto couples and same-sex unions, the Holy Father insisted: "It is a serious error to obscure the value and roles of the legitimate family founded on marriage by attributing legal recognition to other improper forms of union for which there is really no effective social need."

His words were echoed by Cardinal Camillo Ruini, the Pope's vicar for the Diocese of Rome and president of the Italian episcopal conference. Addressing a meeting of the Italian bishops on Jan. 23, Cardinal Ruini insisted that in the forthcoming elections one of the central themes voters should take into consideration must be the defense of the family and marriage, along with respect for human life from conception through to natural death. National parliamentary elections will be held April 9.

The cardinal was careful to point out that the Church had no intention of allying itself with any political group or party during the electoral campaign.

Spain and Scotland

Bishops in other countries are also speaking out to defend the family. On Dec. 30 the subcommission on family and life of the Spanish episcopal conference issued a message on the theme of transmitting the faith to children.

The document also spoke of the shadows cast on family life due to the "culpable omission" of support from the state for families in matters such as housing and education. The bishops also renewed their criticism of the Socialist government's law giving recognition to same-sex unions, as well as easing rules to make divorce easier.

And in Scotland, on Jan. 25 the Catholic Media Office released the text of pastoral letter on the family, written by Archbishop Mario Conti, on behalf of the bishops. "Nothing is more fundamental to the common good than the stability of family life," the letter stated. But this is being ignored by civil leaders and, hence, there exists "a society in moral decline, a civilization in cultural decay."

Instead of supporting married couples and family life, the government is extending benefits "to partnerships which are of their nature incapable of providing tomorrow's citizens whose values will determine our society," Archbishop Conti lamented.

The law is creating "a fiction of marriage" by permitting the registration of civil unions, his letter noted. We should not exclude people from society based on their sexual orientation, the letter said. But neither should we extend to same-sex unions "an equivalence in law and public esteem to that of conjugal love," it added.

"This is a time when marriage and the family are in crisis with many of our social ills traceable to this cause," Archbishop Conti noted. "Therefore we must be at the forefront of promoting family life."

This involves activities such as assisting families to find suitable and affordable accommodations, and offering young people counseling in preparation for marriage, he said. Also needed, at times, are conciliation services, instead of easier access to divorce.

In a New Year's Day homily preached in St. Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, Cardinal Keith O'Brien also spoke out on family issues. According to a press release from his office, the cardinal's comments followed the introduction of legislation to allow same sex civil partnerships and the vote by the Scottish Parliament to dramatically reduce the waiting periods for divorce.

The family is "the basic social unit, which needs to be recognized protected and promoted as the most vital cell of society," the cardinal commented. Unfortunately this truth is being obscured today, he said. "It is not without reason that human societies throughout history and across cultures have flourished only when they have built their human relationships on the rock of marriage." A somber warning that the Church hopes governments heed.
