Not good, tensions rising. This statement by Luttwak especially bothers me, it sounds like a challenge.
As more of this leaks out it will not bode well for future relations between Catholics and others … especially conservative Christians/Jews. Just more SIGNS of unpleasantness to come! Something else to consider/plan for at the local level when the finger pointing & scapegoating occurs .......... seeds of “Civil War” are being planted …. EVERYWHERE!!! ;-( “Hillary Clinton Campaign Forwarded Plan to White House to Promote Iran Treaty Using Catholic Prelates’ Influence” http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...ran-treaty-using-catholic-prelates-influence/ GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
It seems that 60 Minutes, which is starting right now, is doing a segment on the election and how Ohio has predicted the winners of the Presidential elections for the last up-teen years (since 1964, hmmm that's interesting), is revealing that the candidates are in a dead heat. PS- I finally changed my avatar! The Koala was a default from another account I had on the internet. I like the new look!!!
In fairness, the wall isn't much of a security asset. The police presence and scanners are more effective. If the prophecy about the Pope having to flee Rome comes true during this papacy, he's more likely to be fleeing from angry Italians than Muslims immigrants.
That is what President Obama would say, but this is not what Catholic prophecy say's, although it does not speak of Muslim immigrants, rather Muslim terrorists. Not sure you can separate them out in today's culture.
In that case, I will be very surprised if the prophecy is fulfilled during this papacy. Pope Francis believes that you can separate them as does the Italian government. Italy's abysmally low birth rate and ageing demographic means that they desperately need an injection of young blood. The same is true of other European countries putting out the welcome mat. They are willing to tolerate some level of terrorism. I don't know whether the new local administration in Rome is as welcoming as the central Government. Time will tell.
I was making a bad joke, sorry, based on the Trump and Clinton banter. I forget if the prophecies are clear that the Pope fleeing the Vatican is not the False Prophet. I am getting confused again.
Thank you but I just realized that I copied Anna819. I love Our Lady of Guadalupe also. I wanted the picture of Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe but there were too many pixels, this was my 3rd choice but it is lovely. I think now that I know how to change it I will probably switch it occasionally.
Mikey the Deplorable has been doing his worst, for years, to persecute People of Faith ,,, especially Christen Military and Chaplains for years ….. and getting away with it … though I can’t recall an article where he “trashes” Muslims …Gee!! I wonder why….??? Mikey is just one of satan’s spawn that has been attempted to, successfully drive-out Good-People from our Armed Forces. He is just one of many Christian Haters “Out-There” … & 47% of “Catholics” will Vote the Catholic Haters Agenda in two weeks ;-( “Why does our military support deplorable Crusader unit names, imagery?” https://www.airforcetimes.com/artic...upport-deplorable-crusader-unit-names-imagery GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
Someone posted this today on another Catholic forum: https://www.catholicvote.org/leading-assyrian-christian-now-is-the-last-chance-to-protect-us/ While their homes are about to be liberated by the NATO coalition, almost everything will have to be rebuilt. I had never heard of the aid agency mentioned in the report http://iraqichristianrelief.org/our-partners/ Are there ever any collections in your Church for Christian refugees? I don't remember even one collection for them in our Church. Over the years we have had collections for all sorts ranging from famine in Africa to floods in Pakistan but nothing for Christian victims of ISIS and other Islamists. They are hardly ever mentioned at Mass. I suppose praying or holding collections for them would be politically incorrect. There are reports that the plan to liberate Mosul in Iraq includes creating a channel for the ISIS fighters to move into Syria, presumably to boost the forces fighting Assad. There's an Old Testament end times prophecy that Damascus will be flattened. It is possible that we could see the fulfilment of that prophecy in our lifetime.
Carol, just in case you were still interested in the picture with Juan Diego or the other one you were considering, you can reduce the size of the file if it is too large. Just right click the picture on your desktop Choose "Edit" Then at the top of the picture go to where it says "Resize" Under "Horizontal" and "Vertical" the number will say: 100 Just change both numbers to "75" or "50" or whatever you would like and it will resize the picture to a smaller size for you Make sure you try it on a copy so you don't resize your original picture.
http://www.steynonline.com/7567/descent-into-evil Austria, the 'paedos' paradise' (at least if they're Muslim). One can foresee many convicted paedophiles appealing on the basis of this Supreme Court judgement. There are two alternative explanations for this evil that I can think of: a). Moral relativism and multiculturalism are so dominating the liberal mindset that barbarian cultural practices must be allowed to exist even within our own historically civilised territories and at the expense of sacrificing our own children, if required. b). The powerful and satanic paedophile lobby, previously concealing themselves behind the homosexualists, gender freaks and other perverts have become bolder. Is there much lower that we can go?
More prayers needed for Italy: Now a 6.2 earthquake near Perugia. At least 247 killed http://beforeitsnews.com/earthquake...ude-earthquake-to-its-east-video-2589821.html
Better article on Italizn earthquake....the one in comment above mixed stories about today's quake with the earlier one and was confusing: https://www.rt.com/news/364216-italy-quake-hits-perugia/
U.S. archbishop, pilgrims were celebrating Mass in Norcia when earthquakes struck "I had no sooner finished (the vesting) prayer to be protected from the assaults of Satan when bang: It just hit and it hit with a vengeance. It didn't last very long, but it really shook the building we were in," Archbishop Sample of Portland, Oregon, told Catholic News Service in Rome the next morning. ..... Archbishop Sample and other Portland pilgrims were visiting Norcia, the birthplace of St. Benedict, during a trip to Italy for the fifth annual Populus Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage, an international gathering for Catholics devoted to the extraordinary form of the Mass. ....... While Archbishop Sample was with the Benedictine monks, he said another group from Portland, led by Father John Boyle, also had "a harrowing experience" during the earthquake while celebrating Mass in the crypt of the Basilica of St. Benedict in Norcia. "Father Boyle was just beginning the preparatory prayers for holy Communion when it hit and he took shelter underneath the altar and instructed the other pilgrims to take cover under the pews," the archbishop told CNS. When the earthquake ended, Archbishop Sample said, the pilgrims went outside the church and Father Boyle brought them Communion. The archbishop said that Father Boyle found it "very moving to see the people kneeling on the ground to receive holy Communion; it was beautiful." After Mass, several monks helped retrieve the pilgrim's personal items from the church before they returned to their hotel. http://www.catholicnews.com/service...ng-mass-in-norcia-when-earthquakes-struck.cfm
