  1. Shock Video: Woman Sucker Punched in Church (Philadelphia)

    A woman lector was suckered punched twice in the face at a Catholic church in Philadelphia Sunday. The woman was stepping off the altar after giving a reading and was attacked by a woman who approached from the victim’s left and punched her with two quick right jabs to her face. The victim, who was not seriously hurt, was not knocked down and walked away. No one tried to intervene and the attacker got away.

    The attack took place during the 11 a.m. mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul.

    Archbishop of Philadelphia Nelson Perez released a statement on Facebook about the attack:

    SAN JOSE (Reuters) - A magnitude 6 earthquake struck Costa Rica’s western coast on Monday, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said, without any initial reports of damage.

    I've reached the point where every reference to Bill and Melinda Gates makes me cringe. The moment I see their names
    Horrible! I certainly hope they hired security. Poor woman. :(

  4. I don’t “like” what happened here, but I wanted to bring awareness to the fact that the rector, Fr. Gill, has been so gracious to our little parish across the river in that for the last several years, he has permitted us to offer a beautiful TLM at the Cathedral Basilica in Philly on the feast of Our Lady’s Assumption. It is always grand! It breaks my heart that’s such ugliness could occur inside a place of such beauty.

    my husband and I went there before Covid. We noticed on the opposite side of the basilica is a smaller chapel. At least 25 homeless people were in there sleeping during the day. Nobody chased them out. It was very windy and cold that day. So many homeless are often mentally ill. Maybe this person ventured in from that chapel......

    California's All-Out War on Church Worship Intensifies With Bans, Fines, and Sending In Spies

    California Governor Gavin Newsom and county leaders are escalating the state’s war on church worship services, dragging pastors into court and demanding thousands of dollars in fines for illegally singing and holding indoor worship services.

    This stand off is getting closer to a religious hot war, with some of the same tactics being used, such as the use of “agents” sent behind enemy lines to “spy” on worship services.

    The state is armed with Newsom’s no-worship order and subpoenas. One county even nailed a complaint letter on a church front door. Even Martin Luther would see the folly of that move.

    In California during the Wuhan coronavirus, you can shop, eat out, riot, loot, and protest. But there are tough constraints on church worship. Churches can feed the hungry, but parishioners can’t take communion. Churches can house the homeless, but can’t sit six feet apart in the same pew with a neighbor.

    Same Governor But Different Rules for Rioters and Worshipers

    Liberty Counsel, a public service law firm, represents two churches being fined and penalized for opening their doors to worship. Founder Mat Staver says Newsom’s worship ban is clearly unconstitutional.

    People can be housed overnight, but cannot hold a short worship service, Bible study, or meet for prayer. People can receive counseling to find work but cannot be counseled on finding eternal life.

    The same governor who encourages mass protests, bans all worship and is now fining churches for their right to assemble and worship. The same governor who says the church can meet for secular services, bans the church from having religious worship. This unconstitutional hostility against religious worship must end.

    Newsom has issued a rule against singing and chanting – even in worship in private homes. Then, he outlawed church worship.

    Church pastors say enough is enough.

    The pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Ventura County, Rob McCoy, was in court on Friday and fined $3,000 for holding three socially distanced worship services each Sunday on August 9th and 16th.

    McCoy and John and Jane Does from one to 1000 – his parishioners – were ordered by a judge earlier this month to cease holding worship services. They defied his orders.

    McCoy was ready to go to jail on Sunday if need be.

    Senator Ted Cruz sent a supportive tweet, letting California leaders know he’s watching.

    County Sends in Spies to Santa Clara Church Spies

    In Santa Clara, county officers sent in agents to spy on North Valley Baptist Church, according to documents the county gave to the court. That church has been fined $10,000 for illegally singing in two worship services. Singing.

    Santa Clara County taped a four-page letter to the front door of the church announcing that the county was displeased with the singing.

    The way things are trending, this could very well play out in other areas of the country. Satan won't be happy until our churches are permanently locked down, look at what we've lost already. Violence directed towards places of worship is on the rise, as we have seen with church burnings and attacks all over the world. Sadly I think we need to brace ourselves for troubled days ahead. Our bishops need to stand tall.

    Hard for me to discifer operatic lyrics. I had no idea he was singing that.

    I thought it was something in beautiful Italian.
     
  17. It was Schubert's.....probably the most well known one. Prior to that he sang the popular Leonard Cohen's "Halleluja". Also sang "God Bless America". And "Nessun Dorma" of Turandot which Pavarotti made so popular....the one that ends with "Vincero, Vincero, Vin....cer....o"!!

    Then I don't feel so bad. I have no idea what he was singing when I tuned in.
     
  19. Sheesh! I thought the "wreckovations" had come to an end and there wasn't much left intact to disfigure any longer. But now this advantageous maneuver using the COVID-19 excuse had to be, thank goodness, corrected:

    And what is it with covering the marble and hardwood floors with "bright red carpet"??? Hmmm!
