Pope Francis with judges at the Vatican: The Church must get involved in greater politics

pope-judgesThe Pope held a meeting at the Vatican with a hundred judges from around the world. They participated in the Summit of Judges on human trafficking and organized crime that brought together legal experts to analyze this scourge and seek to combat it.
Pope Francis praised the work of judges who often work under pressure and threats. So he told them that they are called to bring hope to how  justice works so that injustice does not have the last word.
He also condemned the traffickers whom he described as “the new slave hunters.”
POPE FRANCIS
“Victims are often betrayed even in the most intimate and sacred ways a person can be violated, that is, in love they aspire to give and take and that her family owes or who promise their suitors or husbands who instead end up selling them on the black market forcing them into hard labor, prostitution or sale of organs.”
Pope Francis explained that the Church is also called on to engage in the field of politics and again requested the abolition of the death penalty.
Then the pope signed a declaration in which the signatories make a number of proposals to end modern-day slavery. Among these measures, he asked to use the assets seized from traffickers in the rehabilitation and compensation of victims, the punishment of clients of sexual services or prostitution and forced labor are considered crimes against humanity.  Continue reading…

LGBT activists blame Christians for Orlando attack

This is how demented and hateful the homosexual mind truly is. Even though Christians had absolutely nothing to do with aMuslim man killing 50 homosexuals and wounding 53 more in a homosexual nightclub, the hatred for Jesus is so deep seated by Satan himself inside the homosexuals he guides, he has been able to twist reality to such an extent that they truly do believe Christians are the reason for the shooting. After all, if he can get them to lust after the same sex, how hard would it be to get them to hate the only people on earth that love them enough to warn them of danger who are also praying for them. Satan hates us that much!  Continue reading…

Complaint about prayer at graduation causes controversy in Pottsgrove School District

LOWER POTTSGROVE >> Internal emails provided to The Mercury reveal that the person who complained about prayer in the invocation and benediction at last year’s Pottsgrove High School graduation was Rick Rabinowitz, then a board member and currently the board president.

The revelation comes as the district moves closer to a June 7 public meeting on the issue and as differences of opinion in the community are rampant, along with divisions among board members, past and present.

Perhaps the most notable of these was board member Bill Parker remarking that the words “bigot” and “racist” could be associated with comments Rabinowitz has posted as the debate unfolded on Facebook.  Continue reading…

Church-State Separation Groups Take Issue With Iowa Governor’s Bible Reading Proclamation

born-again-bible-pd-701x381DES MOINES, Iowa — Three church-state separation groups are expressing objection to a proclamation issued by the governor of Iowa that urges residents to participate in a statewide Bible reading marathon.

In April, Gov. Terry Branstad signed a proclamation at the state capitol urging participation in a 99 county Bible reading marathon scheduled for June 30 through July 3. The Iowa Prayer Caucus, the National Governor’s Prayer Team and the United States Prayer Council organized the event.

“Whereas all Scripture is essential to prepare us to be the people God wants us to be and to accomplish the purpose for which he created us,” the proclamation reads in part, “and whereas, America, being founded upon biblical principles and Judeo-Christian ethics, as taught in the Bible, paid tribute to the Bible for its important influence upon the development of our nation by many of our great national leaders such as President Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson…”  Continue reading…

Obama Cites Scripture To Defend School Bathrooms Rule

ap_16153733335821-640x432“President Barack Obama defended his decision to open up bathrooms to students of both sexes based on preference, citing his religious faith as a reason he decided to do it. “My reading of scripture tells me that that [the] Golden Rule is pretty high up there in terms of my Christian belief,” he said during a town hall in Elkhart, Indiana. Local resident Arvis Dawson questioned Obama during the event, wondering why the president decided to make it such an issue.” –Source

There are two reasons he’s making it an issue. #1, it’s his second term and unless he has plans to enforce martial law to suspend all elections and declare himself a Vatican emperor that emulates Roman Catholic emperor Adolph Hitler, he cannot legally run for another term, and so crazed political agendas (like transgender bathrooms in schools) is on his duty roster now because everyone knows to speak like this in his first term would most assuredly prevent a second term. And #2, Rome demands he push the perversion of society and especially in the homosexual arena so as to bring about the Vatican’s long sought after plans to normalize homosexuality, which they have already done, which will then set the foundation to normalize pedophilia, which is the top shelf agenda for the Vatican prelates as well as Satan’s main driving force that allows for decadence to reign globally giving him all sorts of permission to be in the lives of many. And yes there is a 3rd reason, but until I have rock hard evidence to verify it I will keep that to myself for now.  Continue reading…

Judge sentences Catholic to Baptist church pews

RNS-JUDGE-OHIOCINCINNATI — Judge William Mallory enjoys handing out creative sentences from his bench over at the Hamilton County Courthouse.

But the one he meted out in his Municipal Court room Wednesday wasn’t even his idea.

And boy, oh boy, did he like it.

Instead of sending Jake Strotman to jail on a misdemeanor attempted assault conviction, Mallory sent the 23-year-old Catholic to a Baptist church for the next 12 Sundays.  Continue reading…

Bible verse prompts GOP walkout after LGBT vote labeled a ‘sin’

rickallenA House conservative went after dozens of fellow Republicans on Thursday with suggestions that they’d sinned for backing an anti-discrimination proposal against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
Rep.

The Lancet: Global economic crisis linked to over 260,000 additional cancer deaths, according to new study

Unemployment and reduced public-sector health spending following the 2008 global economic crisis were associated with increased cancer mortality, according to a new study published in The Lancet. The study estimates that the recent economic crisis was associated with over 260000 additional cancer deaths in countries within the Organisation for Economic Development (OECD) by 2010, of which 160000 were in the European Union.

The study is the first global analysis to look at the effect of unemployment and changes in public-sector healthcare spending on cancer deaths, and suggests universal health care coverage may protect patients from the health consequences of rising unemployment and reduced public-sector healthcare spending.  Continue reading…

VIDEO: Pope Francis will receive Charlemagne Prize for being Europe’s voice of conscience

Pope Francis Holds Weekly AudienceThere were no comments posted with this video. –Source

This is the ultimate out and out farce, but thanks to the controlled media, most have no clue as to what’s actually happening here. This man represents all that is wrong and all that is evil in this world. Worse yet, he represents just how evil mankind can become. What I mean by that is, he is a bloodthirsty Roman Catholic Jesuit priest standing in the most powerful political office on the planet. His office represents the most gruesome and torturous murders of hundreds of millions of Christians during the Vatican inquisitions during the prophesied 1260 years from 538AD to 1798AD just as the prophet Daniel and then the apostle and prophet John declared. And to this day the Vatican is still killing Christians to the tune of 1 martyred every 2 minutes on this planet under the long expected disguise of Islam and still, billions of people (as expected) think this man of sin is holy and the reason for peace on earth? Worse yet, he is now declared as the “conscience of Europe” no less!  Source

More Than 100 Methodist Ministers Defy Church Rules, Come Out As LGBT

ap577649381886-1125x635A slate of 111 United Methodist ministers have come out as LGBT, challenging their denomination’s ban on “practicing homosexuals” and hoping to influence a major church-wide vote on LGBT issues later this week.

On Monday morning, Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN), an LGBT advocacy group within the United Methodist Church (UMC), published a letter signed by 111 ministers openly declaring their dual identity as both clergy and LGBT persons. The effort constitutes a direct affront to existing church policy — which currently prohibits the ordination of “self-avowed practicing homosexuals” — and comes just one day before thousands of UMC leaders gather in Portland, Oregon, for General Conference, an event held every four years where delegates vote on issues of church governance and theology.  Source
