    Red Tony Loses!!

    Red Tony's anti-faith «Racial and Religious Hatred Bill» has been significantly watered down, against the expressed policy of his government, by two votes in the Commons! Good news for Her Majesty the Queen, because under Red Tony's plans she could have been prosecuted for inciting religious hatred by her recent speech to Convocation!

    Despite the pagan elements in this presentation (many of the Sioux were Catholic before the council, but the heresy of inculturation has destroyed that!) are a problem, but it would be nice if every Catholic soldier was laid to rest in a comparable way, with a real wake and a full TLM! Pray for this valiant young man's soul. He died in our cause!

    Just got an email thanking me for an anti-EU comment I left on the Telegraph website. My correspondent has two blogs. The first is «Catholic Church Conversation», dealing with Church closings. (Krusty, are you reading this?) «News and comment on Catholic church closings throughout the world. Under the Patronage of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the practice of Catholic devotions as a remedy and in reparation will also be encouraged. If anyone has any news on any Catholic Church closures anywhere in the world, pictures and suggested links please feel free to e-mail mailto:churchclosing@hotmail.com»

    The second is «UK Freedom»: «The blog for a free and prosperous United Kingdom written at the very heart of Brussels. Much more coming soon. Contact me on mailto:gillibrand@belgacom.net, an Euro-Sceptic perspective, written from Brussells.

    While the State Church of Norway is heretical, it still disturbs me that it may be disetablished. All States have established religions. Those that don't establish a recognised faith, whether the True Church or an heretical or infidel one, end up with a neo-pagan form of statolatry which leads to atheistic, humanist totalitarianism.

    First of all, why are we dialoging with the Jews? The Messias has come, they rejected Him. End of story. And why would we want to add Muslims to the dialogue? Let's get this straight, once and for all! We worship the Most Holy and Divine Trinity, the Tri-une God. To a believing Jew or Muslim, this is blasphemy. We do not worship the same God, there is no ground for dialogue and we're wasting a lot of time and energy which could be better used in converting the unbelieving Jews and Muslims.

  • On this day:

    AD 1647, Scots heretics agree to sell King Charles I to English Parliament for £400, leading to:

    AD 1649, His Majesty, Charles I, King of England, Scotland and Ireland, judicially murdered at Whitehall. His Majesty King Charles II ascends the Throne.

    AD 1730, Pyotr II, Alekseyevitch, Tsar and Autocrat of all the Russias, 1727-30, dies at 14. (R+I+P)

    Yes, I'm a Catholic and this is a Catholic blog! I know Charles was an Anglican heretic, but he was married to a devout Catholic, produced two (not so devout) Catholic sons and died for what he sincerely believed was the Catholic Faith. He was a model Prince who was judicially murdered by republicans, much like our own Martyred King, His Most Christian Majesty, Louis XVI. Check out the Wikipedia article on him and the website of the Society of King Charles the Martyr. Anglican in inspiration, it accepts Catholic members and, indeed, has an «independent» Catholic Priest on its board.

    AD 1099, The Militiæ Christi of the First Crusade lay siege to Hosn-el-Akrad, Syria, on the way to Jerusalem!

    AD 1547, Edward VI, age nine, succeeds Henry VIII as king of England. Henry had been a schismatic Catholic. Under Edward, heresy began to triumph.

    AD 1561, By Edict of Orleans persecution of French Huguenots is suspended. A mistake. Had they been hounded from the Kingdom, the Revolution might have been avoided!

    AD 1788, Lord Gordon found guilty of libel of queen of France. This was the certifiably insane, viciously anti-Catholic of the Gordon Riots.

  • On Franco

    I would only disagree that Gral. Franco «by all accounts, ...did a fair job readying the young prince to become a democratic Catholic monarch.» Franco made Juan-Carlos swear allegiange to the anti-democratic, Catholic, corporatist ideals of the National Movement. Immediately upon becoming King, Juan-Carlos perjured himself, taking the democratic road to Revolution. The end result is a weakened Church, divorce, abortion on demand, «marriage» for unrepentant sodomites and all the rest of the culture of death. Indeed, it could be argued that by signing the abortion law, Juan-Carlos ceased to be a Catholic and by that act ceased to be King, since the Constitution requires the Monarch to be Catholic.

    Great Poem

    The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama. Judge
    Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his
    courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are
    trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama. The judge's poem sums
    it up quite well.

    America the Beautiful,
    or so you used to be.
    Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
    I'm glad they'll never see.

    Babies piled in dumpsters,
    Abortion on demand,
    Oh, sweet land of liberty;
    your house is on the sand.

    Our children wander aimlessly
    poisoned by cocaine,
    Choosing to indulge their lusts,
    when God has said abstain.

    From sea to shining sea,
    our Nation turns away
    From the teaching of God's love
    and a need to always pray.

    We've kept God in our temples,
    how callous we have grown.
    When earth is but His footstool,
    and Heaven is His throne.

    We've voted in a government
    that's rotting at the core,
    Appointing Godless Judges
    who throw reason out the door,

    Too soft to place a killer
    in a well deserved tomb,
    But brave enough to kill a baby
    before he leaves the womb.

    You think that God's not angry,
    that our land's a moral slum?
    How much longer will He wait
    before His judgment comes?

    How are we to face our God,
    from Whom we cannot hide?
    What then is left for us to do,
    but stem this evil tide?

    If we who are His children,
    will humbly turn and pray;
    Seek His holy face
    and mend our evil way:

    Then God will hear from Heaven
    and forgive us of our sins,
    He'll heal our sickly land
    and those who live within.

    But, America the Beautiful,
    if you don't - then you will see,
    A sad but Holy God
    withdraw His hand from Thee.


    ~Judge Roy Moore ~

    Pass this on and pray for His Honour, heretic though he be. He has stood firm and needs our support.

Of course it should be spelt Noë!)Here's a quote to think about: «A third goal of the creation of the High Council and the Sanhedrin's efforts in regard to the Noahide community, is to "transform the Noahide movement from a religious phenomenon - a curiosity many have not heard of - into a powerful international movement that can successfully compete with, and with G-d's help bring about the fall of, any religious movement but the pure authentic faith that was given to humanity through Noach, the father of us all,"(emphasis supplied) said emissary Bar-Ron.»

    The Reason I Am A Catholic, Not A Capitalist!

    (Simulposted at The Distributist Review)

    If Brewton ever heard about the Social Magisterium (if he is a Catholic, he should have, but I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't!) he'd go ballistic. Our Holy Fathers, from His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII to His Holiness, Pope John-Paul II have maintained that whilst a «living wage» may satisfy the demands of charity it does not satisfy the demands of justice. What justice demands is a «just wage», a wage sufficient not just for living, but sufficient that the breadwinner of the family may put aside something for retirement, buy a piece of land upon which to live (and produce food!) and/or buy the tools of a trade by which to become independent. This a capitalist's nightmare! People leaving the wage labour market! How can the capitalist system regulate wages as more and more people become independent? Of course, socialists oppose the idea too, because an independent citizenry with widely distributed property will neither vote socialist nor revolt!

    The capitalist's opposition to the just wage is powered by the same motives that have underlain the poor law or welfare laws of the industrial countries since the protestant revolt against Christendom. The idea has always been to maintain a pool of potential low-wage workers. A few years ago, this became obvious when a single mother from New York, by dint of hard work and family support (both good «conservative» values, I should think!) managed to get a college degree and be accepted into graduate school in Iowa. That a person could escape the clutches of the system so enraged one New York legislator that he introduced a bill into the Assembly that would require her to repay all the welfare benefits she had received. Note well, that this woman would raise children unlikely to end up on the welfare rolls and that she, herself, was forever lost to the system! One, and possibly several, minimum wage workers lost to the system was more than this Legislator could stand! (The bill failed of passage.)

    I suppose my point is twofold: 1)The Church in the industrialised world has done a poor job of presenting the Social Magisterium and b) To be an obedient Catholic, accepting the Magisterium, is to be anti-capitalist as well as anti-socialist. However, this will never stop capitalists (wrongly called «conservative»in the Anglosphere and accurately «liberal» in Europe!) from accusing Catholics of being socialists!
