“The petition states: We, the undersigned, are scandalized and disheartened by the Pontifical Council for the Family’s new project known as The Meeting Point: Project for Affective and Sexual Formation. This project has many dangerous flaws. For example:
- It fails to state in clear language that parents are the primary educators of their children.
- It never mentions Christ’s teaching on marriage.
- It never names or denounces sexual behaviors such as fornication, masturbation, and homosexual activity.
- It fails to provide any instruction on the Commandments, sin, and the sacraments.
- It uses pictures of life-size naked sculptures to point out the physical differences (including genitals) between a man and a woman in a mixed classroom setting.
- It shows suggestive and provocative images.
- It recommends sexually explicit movies as catalysts to discussion.
…we humbly beg you to protect and guide your flock by retracting this project and restating the Church’s perennial teachings on both the primacy of parents as the educators of their children and the proper approach of extreme caution to this task as explained in Familiaris Consortio.” –Source
This is so very disgusting! They actually push porn on the children in multiple fashions and then ask them to watch porn at home so as to discuss it in school the next day? And yes, “sexually explicit movies” are in fact porn be they PG to XXX. Some may disagree, but I am not one to agree with Hollywood and their rating system when after just a few short decades have normalized all sorts of disgusting garbage as perfectly acceptable for Christians and nonChristians alike. Truth is, one can find sexually explicit images in G-rated Disney movies. Call me a prude or old fashioned. I don’t care. Basic reality is, a few short decades ago, what they show in a PG rated movie today was considered way too explicit. Today, all you need to watch such things is to have a parent nearby or an ID card showing you’re 17 years old! That wasn’t normal 50 years ago and it is NOT normal today. Well.. at least not for people with Christian morals. Continue reading
“The agency has been dubbed ‘Catholics In Action’ because the faithful have occupied so many senior positions. But could their dominance be weakening? …The CIA is the best known of the 17 agencies that comprise the American intelligence community. It has earned itself nicknames like “Catholic Intelligence Agency” and “Catholics In Action”. It’s worth exploring why. No official statistics exist on Catholics in the CIA or any other American intelligence agency. But one interesting clue is the relatively high number of Catholics who have served as director of the agency.” –
ROME — Jorge Bergoglio, also known as “Pope Francis,” asked for Mary to intercede for the oppressed on Monday and claimed to the thousands gathered to observe what is known as the Roman Catholic “Feast of the Assumption” that she had been “assumed into Heaven body and soul.”
“The remarks followed similar comments made Wednesday, when Pope Francis argued that the current Middle East conflicts are wars over economic and political interests—not religion or so-called “Islamic terrorism.” “There is war for money,” he said Wednesday, according to The Wall Street Journal. “There is war for natural resources. There is war for the domination of peoples. Some might think I am speaking of religious war. No. All religions want peace; it is other people who want war.” –
Many Muslims attended church in France this Sunday to show compassion for slain priest, Father Jacques Hamel, and solidarity with their Catholic compatriots.
Muslims and Catholics joined in Friday prayers at the mosque in the Normandy town where an elderly priest was slain this week, with one imam chastising the extremists as non-Muslims who are “not part of civilization.”
“I do not believe it is right to identify Islam with violence,” the Pope told journalists during the July 31 papal flight to Rome following his apostolic journey to Poland. “This is not right and it is not true.” “I don’t like to speak about Islamic violence,” the Pope said, taking into account that one sees violence every day in the newspapers, even at the hands of baptized Catholics. “There are violent Catholics!” he said. “If I speak of Islamic violence, I must speak of Catholic violence.” –
