You don't own me!

The year was 1963... I was in high school.

Later that year, Nov. 22, to be exact, our first and only Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated while his motorcade was traversing the streets of downtown Dallas, Tx.

Whether there was one shooter, or multiple shooters as well as a conspiracy of the deep-state governmental infrastructure, is not known for sure.  Personally, I do believe the multiple shooter, conspiracy analysis, but that is a topic of discussion for another day...

Also in 1963, the U.S. was right smack in the middle of the "rock and roll" era, with many "girl groups," as well as many single girl singers.

One of those singers was Leslie Gore.

1963 was a big year for the 17-year-old, and going forward into the mid-60s, she had hit after hit.  Sadly, she is no longer with us, dying at a relatively young age.

"You don't own me," was perhaps, one of her biggest hits.

I'd like to comment on some of the words of that song, as it already shows the influence of the feminist movement infiltrating the younger generation of that time frame.  Also, keep in mind that the Second Vatican Council was in full swing, and for all practical purposes, had been taken over by the "progressives," planting those little "time bombs" that would eventually begin the downfall of Tradition, to put it mildly.  But that too, is a discussion for another day...

Back to Leslie...

Here are some of the words to that song; I'll make comments as we go along...

You don't own me

Comment: correct.  Single people are usually pretty independent.  However, if they marry, then they are no longer independent, but DEpendent -- on each other.  As it states in the Bible: the man leaves his mother and father and cleaves to his wife, and the two become one flesh... 

I'm not just one of your many toys

Comment: I can go along with that.  We men should never look upon a woman as an object of sexual satisfaction, in other words, we should not, cannot, lust.  After all, in the married state, we are complimentary to each other.  Men should always raise the woman to that lofty pedestal; to honor, protect and defend.   

And don't tell me what to do

And don't tell me what to say

Comment: in today's world, especially here in the U.S., is it still wise to hold a door open for a woman, without being accused of some type of "harassment"?   By the way, I would never tell a woman what to say or do unless what she said was blasphemous or sinful in some way, then it would be my duty to admonish her. 

Don't try to change me in any way

Comment: I would never do that, but if one is violating the Natural Law (an extension of Divine Law), or is a grave, public sinner, then, again, it is my duty to admonish her.

Don't tie me down
'Cause I'll never stay

Comment: I guess some just aren't made for the married state.  If that's the case, then perhaps the woman (or the man) should consider remaining in the single state.  But if one does marry, she is subject to her husband in all things, but sin.  And the husband must love his wife! 

I'm young and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way that I want
To say and do whatever I please

Comment: this sure sums up the current attitude in the world today, especially in the "developed nations" doesn't it?  But those words conjure up a false notion.  No one can do and say whatever they want, or to live their life the way they want if it contradicts the Natural Law and God's Law.  After all, we are made in the image and likeness of God.  Our bodies are to be the temples of the Holy Ghost.  No one has the "right" to mutilate their  body, or to ingest drugs that contaminate the wonderful creation of the human person.  But even worse, to use another drug, for the purpose of contraception, or to terminate a developing baby in the womb through abortion.

Sadly, Leslie Gore died in 2015 of lung cancer.  She was 68 years old.  

Pray for her soul, as she was a lesbian since the age of 20...

Want to avoid REAL global warming?

To all those Russia haters, keep it up and you'll have REAL global warming -- via NUCLEAR WAR!  Is that what you knuckleheads want?  Isn't that what this "Russia collusion" and Russia hate is all about?  Isn't that what you mean when you say that Trump -- and everyone that disagrees with your stupid mantra -- is a Russian agent?

Wake and smell the coffee, lest you convince all the other neo-con war-mongers to push that button and turn those keys, and end life on earth as we know it.  Where, in short order, the living will envy the dead.  Is that what you want?

That, my thickheaded friends, would be real GLOBAL WARMING.

I urge you to pray -- for rationality!  And pray for our country.

Is the handwriting on the wall so obvious that we can't see it?

Just what the heck is going on?

Every single day we see and hear some of the most depraved, demonic actions of lost souls, killing not only their chance to attain the beatific vision, but also hell-bent on dragging many others along with them to the eternally darkened pit, forever.

What is this clamoring for "rights," when at the same time, depriving others of those same rights?

Why is it that we rarely hear of the other word that should always accompany rights: responsibility?

Perhaps this is why folks think that they will not be held accountable because they lack the ability to accept the responsibility of those actions, or are ignorant of the consequences of their actions.

But they are mistaken: ignorance is no excuse.  If ignorance is no excuse in civil law, then how much more will ignorance of things divine lead to condemnation?

They -- and all of us -- will answer for our words and actions, or lack thereof.  In other words, if we fail to act as we are supposed to act, or say what should be said, especially to assist others (our neighbors) on their journey, then those "acts" of omission can be just as grievous as intrinsically evil acts!

This is where good will comes into play...

Those of good will, who make mistakes, as we all do, can find the road back, but those of bad will have a tendency to continue those sometimes serious errors of judgment.  It's like a snowball rolling down hill, getting bigger and bigger, until it reaches avalanche proportions.  At that point, it is difficult to turn back and amend one's life.  Sadly, many die in their sins, and are lost.  And, no, not all are saved.

Pray for discernment of what is just, and pray for our country.

An open letter to all "new order" Catholics (from my 2004 letter).

            This is an open letter to all new order Catholics that may be reading this letter.

            Have you had enough?  

            Have you had enough of being indoctrinated by your priests and bishops that your precious Church – of which the blood of the martyrs of past ages became the seed of the Church – is only one of many that can lead to salvation?

            Have you had enough erroneous thinking that tells you that one can still be a good Catholic and still use birth control or believe that a woman has a “right” to kill her pre-born through abortion?  

            Have you had enough of priests who offer mass and make up their own prayers instead of following Church liturgy?  

            Have you had enough of pastors that invite radical, heretical groups to spit their venom of hate of what the Church has taught for 2,000 years and push their radical agenda of women “priests,” “tolerance” of perverse lifestyles, abortion and contraception, thus confusing an already confused laity?

            Have you had enough of now believing that the precious Mass of Catholics of the last 1,950 years was wrong and had to be changed by a non-dogmatic, liberal-controlled, renegade Vatican Council – the Second Vatican Council?

            Have you had enough of attending a ceremony – which is supposed to be a Mass instituted by Christ – that is now considered by many of the laity and the very priests that perform that ceremony, to be nothing more than a commemoration of a meal and not an un-bloody sacrifice of Christ’s bloody sacrifice of Calvary?

            Have you had enough of a mass that is said in the vulgar tongue and not in the true language of the Church – Latin?  

            Have you had enough of not knowing that the DOGMATIC Council of Trent specifically condemns the use of the vulgar tongue when used, only, in the Mass?

            Have you had enough of not knowing that even the renegade Second Vatican Council said that Latin was to continue to be language of the Mass?

            Have you had enough of not knowing that the traditional Latin Mass had never been abrogated?  

            Have you had enough of receiving the Host – the Body and Blood of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ – in your filthy hands?

            Have you had enough of not knowing that only the consecrated hands of a priest can touch the sacred Host?

            Have you had enough of not kneeling in reverence and awe and respect when receiving the consecrated Host of Christ?

            Have you had enough of believing that Christ is no longer truly present on the altar – the Real Presence – but only present in the gathering of the faithful?  

            Have you had enough of Catholic priests, bishops, cardinals and, yes, even the pope apologizing to every politically correct group under the sun for true Catholic action to defend and defeat the enemies of Holy Church over the past 2,000 years?

            Have you had enough of having your children being taught in “Catholic” schools the “virtues” of tolerance, diversity, inclusiveness and acceptance of the perverse and no longer being taught absolutes – the difference between what is right and wrong?

            Have you had enough…?

            We – traditional minded Catholics -- are Bible-believing; dogma-believing; pope-recognizing Catholics who participate in true ecumenism – that means doing our best to bring those outside the ark of salvation into the barque of St. Peter, lest they be lost in the flood!

Americanism and abortion (from my 2003 article).

Pope Leo XIII did not have abortion in mind when he condemned Americanism as a heresy and a threat to the Catholic Faith. It is ironic that if he were still alive, he would see one of the most gruesome aspects of "Americanism" that has been perpetrated upon this nation since 1973 when the United States Supreme Court said, from that point in time, that a woman had a right to kill her pre-born child - legally - through some of the most ingenious and heinous methods imaginable. This "right" to kill a pre-born child, the advocates say, is somehow guaranteed by the very same Constitution that forbids it!

In the preamble to the founding document, we read: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

A more perfect Union?  How can there be a more perfect Union when we are allowed to kill off those who will make up the future Union?

Justice? What Justice is there in killing the pre-born for economic or social stigma or for any reason for that matter?

Domestic Tranquility? What has abortion wrought to the very parents who kill their offspring?

Provide for the common defense? With the killing of the pre-born, who will be left to protect an aging population from threat - real or imagined?

Promote the general Welfare? There will be no "welfare" to promote if no one is left…

And secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our POSTERITY? If we are allowed to kill those who make up the future - our posterity - there will be no one to enjoy the "blessings of liberty."

Let us now look at the Declaration of Independence and see what it says regarding government: "…But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." Does anyone not think that the killing of 60-plus-million pre-born children since 1973, many more times than the holocaust of World War II, is an abuse and a diabolical mark of absolute despotism? Should not the law enforcement and military help the citizen to overthrow this killing machine and establish a new and a more benevolent, God-fearing form of government? Why is this not being done?

The oft-quoted section of the Declaration of Independence nullifies the actions of the Supreme Court of 1973, it reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among them are LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Notice that the first of the unalienable (inalienable) rights is LIFE. Without life, there can be no other rights! The right to life has been trampled upon by a Supreme Court that is out of control. This once august body established as a system to determine whether a law passed by the state legislatures or Congress meets the criteria of Constitutionality, has, since the 1930's, taken on a life of its own - not to interpret the law, but to MAKE them! Is it any wonder why it would create the "constitutional" guarantee: the "right to choose"?

 At the beginning of this discourse, I mentioned that Pope Leo XIII condemned Americanism as a heresy and a threat to the Catholic Faith. In his encyclical: Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae, promulgated on January 22, 1899, he specifically cautioned and called into question, the then prevailing attitude of the American bishops regarding their relationships with members of other "faiths" and their willingness not to promote what is true Catholic doctrine or to water-down that doctrine in an effort to "go along to get along" - my phraseology, not the Pope's.   It must be admitted that by all accounts – as history has so proven – the American Church prelates all but ignored Leo’s admonishments regarding Americanism.   The consequences of this disobedience have been titanic.   For if the bishops and archbishops from the nineteenth, to our present century had followed Pope Leo XIII’s – and then Pope Pius X’s – stern warnings and condemnations, and had lived up to their obligations of guiding the flock to Christ, regardless of the consequences, the heinous scourge of abortion would have never occurred.   Logically, numerous other maladies would not have gotten a foothold nor hold such prominence as they do today: e.g., immorality, rampant homosexuality, divorce, etc.

Now that we have selfishly considered ourselves in this matter, what of the pre-born?

What is their fate when they are killed?

 Are we not supposed to know, love, and serve God in this life in order to be happy with Him in the next?

 How can the children who are killed in the womb fulfill this basic tenet of our existence?

 The answer to these questions is grimly simple: they are forever denied the Face of their Creator.   “Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”

If you need more evidence that innocent life is in grave danger in the U.K., then read this article.

The following article is from the website: Lifenews.com..

Please read and heed: this is from a nation that was once considered “Our Lady’s Dowry.”  For any non-Catholics out there reading this, this refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary (and of the Catholic Church) but has now become a cesspool of “assisted suicide” and outright murder without consent, of course.  Be wary if you have to enter a hospital, for whatever reason, whether here in the U.S., or, especially in the U.K.  God help us all.. Gene DeLalla.

 The British Supreme Court has ruled that doctors and families can revoke a patient’s life support and withhold food and water without his or her consent and without a court hearing.

The decision is particularly concerning — because it comes from a nation that is already pushing towards euthanasia. In the UK, with its government-run health care system, doctors and hospitals are routinely giving up on patients they believe are too far gone, even children such as Charlie Gard or Alfie Evans. In such instances they are pressuring families to allow life support to be revoked from patients they believe have no chance at life — even though other doctors and medical professionals disagree.

The ruling from the high court in Britain also comes after new reports that hundreds of patients are being euthanized in Belgium including three children. Leading pro-life organizations will likely see this ruling us another step towards euthanasia and pressuring patients to end their lives in assisted suicide.

The ruling essentially allows doctors and families to guess what a patient might want if no advance directive is in place — allowing patients to have their life support and food and fluids terminated and their lives taken even if that may not be the decision they would have wanted.

Here’s more:

End-of-life care can be withdrawn from patients in a permanent vegetative state without consulting a judge, the UK’s highest court ruled today. The Supreme Court upheld a decision that a man with an extensive brain injury, who can be identified only as Mr Y, should be allowed to die without his family going before a judge.

The ruling means that, in cases where families and doctors are in agreement, medical staff will be able to remove feeding tubes without applying to the Court of Protection.

The Supreme Court ruled on the case of a 52-year-old financial analyst, was from June 2017, was in a prolonged disorder of consciousness (PDOC) after suffering a cardiac arrest as a result of coronary artery disease.

PDOC covers patients remaining in a coma, vegetative state and minimally conscious state after a brain injury.

Experts agreed it was highly improbable that Mr Y would re-emerge into consciousness and – even if he did – he would have profound cognitive and physical disability and always be dependent on others.

Mr Y had not drawn up any advance decision to refuse treatment but his family were firmly of the view that he would not want to be kept alive given the poor prognosis.

The anti-euthanasia group Care Not Killing has expressed “concern” and “disappointment” that the Supreme Court has removed an important safeguard from brain-damaged patients today.

The group informed LifeNews:

It complains that judges have ruled that doctors should be able to withdraw food and fluids without going to Court. The ruling will effect up to 24,000 patients with permanent vegetative state (PVS) and minimally conscious state (MCS), meaning they can now be effectively starved and dehydrated to death if the medical staff and relatives agree that this is in their ‘best interests’.

People with PVS (awake but not aware) and MCS (awake but only intermittently or partially aware) can breathe without ventilators, but need to have food and fluids by tube (clinically assisted nutrition and hydration or CANH).

These patients are not imminently dying and with good care can live for many years. Some may even regain awareness. But if CANH is withdrawn, then they will die from dehydration and starvation within two or three weeks.

Until last year all cases of PVS and MCS have had to go to the Court of Protection before CANH could be withdrawn.

Dr. Peter Saunders, Campaign Director of Care Not Killing, commented: “This is concerning and disappointing news, because it removes an important safeguard from those without a voice.

“The Court of Protection did not prevent clinically assisted nutrition and hydration or CANHbeing removed, indeed under the old rules, introduced after the Tony Bland case in 1993 there have been over 100 such cases, but it did ensure independent scrutiny of any application. It did this because it recognised the emotional and financial pressure that families and clinicians can fell under.”

Saunders continued: “In making these declarations Lady Black and the Supreme Court has dramatically moved the goalposts on end of life decision-making. Once we accept that death by dehydration is in some brain-damaged people’s ‘best interests’ we are on a very slippery slope indeed.

“There is a clear difference between turning off a ventilator on a brain-dead patient and removing CANH from a brain-damaged patient. PVS and MCS differ from conditions with a ‘downward trajectory’ because they are not progressive and do not in themselves lead inevitably to death.

“The Supreme Court has set a dangerous precedent. Taking these decisions away from the Court of Protection removes an important layer of legislative scrutiny and accountability and effectively weakens the law.

“It will make it more likely that severely brain-damaged patients will be starved or dehydrated to death in their supposed ‘best interests’ and that these decisions will be more influenced by those who have ideological or financial vested interests in this course of action.”

He concluded: “Given that it costs about £100,000 per year to care for a person with PVS or MCS the potential ‘saving’ for the NHS could be as much as £2.4 billion annually if most seek to go down this route. Given the huge and growing financial pressure the health service is under is this really an additional pressure, no matter how subtle we want to put medical staff and administrators under.

“Coupled with this are the real, demonstrable and significant uncertainties about diagnosis and prognosis in both PVS and MCS. These have increased rather than decreased in the last 20 years and this is why continued court oversight is necessary.”

Meanwhile. in Belgium, new data shows that the number of euthanasia deaths continues to increase, euthanasia deaths for conditions related to aging have skyrocketed and three children died by euthanasia.

In 2016 there were 2028 reported euthanasia deaths up from 2021 in 2015 and in 2017 there were 2309 reported euthanasia deaths, a 14% increase from the previous year. There were 954 reported Belgian euthanasia deaths in 2010 representing a 242% increase in 7 years.

Since 2010, Belgium has expanded euthanasia to include children, people with mental or behavioral conditions and people who are not dying but have chronic conditions. The data indicates that in 2016/17 there were, reportedly, 3 children who died by euthanasia, 77 people with mental or behavior conditions and 710 people with sight loss or incontinence or conditions related to disability or age.

Continuing massive sexual abuse scandal in the "Catholic" church.

Almost on a daily basis, there are more and more stories of priests, bishops and cardinals, along with some heads of religious orders or "charitable" organizations of various sorts, taking advantage of, or outright using the vulnerable to their fulfill their own weird and bizarre sexual fantasies.

Let me be clear, there are many wolves in sheep's clothing currently stalking the halls of the innocent searching for new victims.  These demonic pimps are finally being vetted and exposed (absolutely no pun intended here, as this is a terrible attack on the youth of the Church by these phony skunks wearing the Roman collar).

Keep in mind, that some years ago, there were Communists that recruited "men" to enter the Catholic seminaries to become priests.  Most of these "men" were (or still are?) in the priesthood, or, they might have moved up the ranks, so to speak, and are now bishops or cardinals (or popes, over the years?).  It is thought that many of these "men" were, or still are homosexuals, not "frustrated" celibates going about the important business of the salvation of souls -- the first and foremost mission of the Church.

One of the prime recruiters (there were at least several) was a woman named Bella Dodd.  She was a Communist, and, in fact, testified before Congress on the mandate given her by the then Soviet Union.  Before she died, she reconciled to the Church, thank God!

But the damage was done, and continues to this day with many seminaries turning away real, decent men because they would not bend to the homosexual culture running rampant throughout the world.

I would like to mention something that few ever hear from the mainstream media these days, and that is the FACT that the sexual abuse scandal, as bad as it is in the Catholic Church, is worse, much worse among the public school teachers, administrators and coaches.  You read that right.  Much worse in the public school system across this country.  Do the research and see for yourself.  In addition, it is quite prevalent among Protestant pastors and ministers, as well as Rabbis, again, do the research.

This does not excuse the corrupt, satanic goings on among the human element in the Catholic Church.

Every single one of these monsters must face some type of justice, Catholic or not, if not in this world, then absolutely in the next.  My advice to these creatures: make amends before you breath your last...

Please pray for the victims of these scallywags, and continue to pray for our country.
