Rogues Gallery Of Criminals

Posted on January 8, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Visit any police station and you will be able to see a gallery of pictures of those deemed to be violent criminals whose arrest would benefit society. Harm Schilder, a Catholic priest in the Netherlands has uncovered a new form of Rogues Gallery, pictures of his parishioners who no longer want to attend his church. He now displays their pictures and names in order to show the town who are real Catholics and who have left the faith. “This isn’t about pointing a finger, naming, and shaming.” He simply wanted those who  do not attend services to know they are not coming to church.

After all, if your name is not on display as one who will not come and listen to Father Schilder, how will you know that you are not in church??Oh,he wants a copy of your identity card if you don’t show up. I wonder if one has to write an essay about why they don’t attend church?

Silvio Offers Self To Italy

Posted on January 8, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Silvio Berlusconi is a man whose heart belongs to Italy and he is willing to  assume the burden of once again leading the nation. The former  prime minister seeks to forge an alliance with right wing bigoted Northern League in order to secure sufficient votes in Parliament to crown his head with power. He insists that his alliance will garner about 40% of the vote but most polls claim it is closer to 28%. Silvio is very concerned that his beloved Italy pursue the road to fiscal discipline and economic recovery. Silvio lacks any respect for the current leader, Mario Monti, who lacks a billion dollars or wealth. How can one govern a nation unless one has proven able to accumulate gobs of money?

Of course, once again prime minister means no court can arrest Silvio for the alleged wild times he once enjoyed with females, particularly, under age ones. We are simply reporting what Others claim. We continue supporting Silvio because Italy needs a firm man, who has a firm body and, particularly, a firm upright piece of his body always ready to fire away.

Blame It On The Gals!

Posted on December 29, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Finally, a voice of reason is being heard in Italy. Finally, a man is willing to step up and make clear why there is violence against women. Finally, the truth is being spoken about sexual assaults and brutality against females. The fault lies not in actions of men, but in the actions of WOMEN! Italian priest Piero Corsi told members of his congregation the  blunt truth. “How often do we see girls and mature women going around scantily dressed in  provocative clothes? They provoke the worse instincts which end up in violence and sexual abuse. They should search their own  consciences and ask: did we bring this on ourselves?

I assume liberals and females lacking any sense of shame will be  angry toward a man of God who understands that when women are raped, the rapist should be praised for acting in a Christian manner in order to teach females something about good manners. As Piero pointed out to a reporter “what do you feel when you see a naked woman?”

Then again, how  many nuns these days are wearing traditional clothes? Are they attempting to provoke  priests like Corsi?

God Votes No On Same Sex Laws

Posted on December 27, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Vincent Nichols Archbishop of Westminster in England is rather upset that some Christians in his fair land oppose same sex marriage. He is convinced that God created the world and God wanted all living creatures not to have sex with someone of the same sex. God loves all humans, but he does not like those who practice same sex relations. I am confused, if God is OUR  Creator then why doesn’t He like all of us? I wonder about a God who considers some humans to be his children, but doesn’t approve of other humans to be His children. That doesn’t come across as very loving to ALL humanity.

Nichols is very, very upset this Christmas at plans of the UK government to put forth a same-sex law that allows marriage. He wonders where Prime Minister David Cameron ever got such an idea. I gather the idea was simply to carry out the concept of equality of all humans, isn’t that what Christmas is about??

Silvio Has A Plan!

Posted on December 24, 2012 by | Leave a comment

There is great news from Italy since Silvio Berlusconi has promised the people of that nation he will once again run for a leadership role in the Italian government. To make the news even better, Silvio has assured one and all that he has a plan. Latest news from Italy reveals that his party has already gained 3% in polls and now is favored by at least 17% of the population. Due to our fervent support for Silvio we have been able to find out some news about his PLAN.

1. From now on the Italian government will provide an escort service for any male seeking  female companionship for the day, week or month. This will be a new source of revenue for the government.

2. When Silvio throws his famous parties any Italian citizen can attend for the simple price of $100. Of course, this sum does not include fees for women at the party who are ready to provide a more intimate relationship. Money raised by this activity will reduce the Italian deficit.

3. Silvio’s media empire will provide online pictures of women whose services can be had for a nominal fee –with 40% of revenues going to the government.

Common Sense In Ireland

Posted on December 22, 2012 by | Leave a comment

The Catholic Church insists that government can not order it to allow those employed to have access to pills or abortion because it is the right of the church to decide the lives of people. A few months ago in Ireland, which   forbids  abortion, a young woman from India died of septicemia because doctors refused to terminate a pregnancy in order to save her life. She was told, “this is a Catholic country” and so, die. The Irish government came under a storm of anger from other European nations and has now made changes in the law. Abortion will no longer be a crime,  and there doctors will be provided guidelines under which they can perform an aborton.

Finally, Ireland is in accord with the European Court of Human Rights. In America the issue of whether religion controls laws is still not resolved. If one adhered to ideas of the Catholic Church, then anyone who opposes use of doctors and medicine could claim his religion prevents him from providing health care to his employees. The history of America is based on separationof church from state. No reason to change this tradition.

“This Is A Catholic Country”

Posted on November 15, 2012 by | Leave a comment

I endeavor in life to respect the views and ideas of those who have deep and personal feelings about their religion. An incident in an Irish hospital in Ireland is now shaking the ideas of many Irish people concerning the issue of abortion. Savita Halappanavar and her husband had come to live and work in Ireland where he was a dentist. She was admitted to Galway University Hospital and was 17 weeks pregnant. She suffered a miscarriage and septicaemia when it became apparent that she was very ill. Although she was miscarrying doctors refused to carry out a medical termination because the foetus heartbeat was present.

Her husband begged the doctors for a termination but was told, “this is a Catholic country” and therefore any form of abortion was illegal. One can assume this means that even when a life of the mother is at risk, she must die in order that the foetus has a heart beat. There is something wrong about this situation. This is an issue of death as well as of life.

Humans Never Change

Posted on November 11, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Every so often a piece of news emerges which enables one to understand why so many Americans love to wander the world with a gun in hand since they feel the need to be protected against some sort of  attack. The first complete ammoth skeleton has been found in France in over a hundred years. About 150,000 years ago my Neanderthal ancestors cornered this beast, killed it with spears and then had a feast. I do not believe they invited NRA officials to this shindig. The mammoth was about nine feet tall and weighed about five tons. Fortunately, it was in excellent condition and we now have a wonderful skeleton to hang in some museum.

There are rumors the NRA will use this example as further evidence why we Americans need to carry around guns. After all, what if a mammoth wandered into our neighborhood? This definitely proves why every American should carry around an assault weapon. I think it also proves that members of the NRA have a Neanderthal brain.

A Few Fewer Babies, Please!

Posted on November 11, 2012 by | Leave a comment

President Benigno Acquino of the Philipppine Islands wants to take a tiny, tiny step forward and offer women in his nation the opportunity to receive solid medical knowledge regarding family planning. The birth rate in his nation leads to a growth in population of 1.9% compared to  Indonesia’s  1.2 and other lower figures in most Asian societies. But, the Philippines is a Catholic society led by Catholic bishops who lack any contact with raising large families. A new bill which provides access to family planning, contraceptives and assistance in reducing family size is bitterly opposed by the bishops.

This is simply another example of how Catholic religious leaders refuse to adapt to modern civilization. More and more Catholics are ceasing to attend Sunday services, and most American Catholics accept the concept of contraceptives. As one who seeks a healthy Catholic  Church, living in the past will result in not living in the future. It is FAMILY PLANNING, not abortion!
