The U.S. Fertility Rate Continues To Falter: Below Replacement Rate!!

According to the CDC (the Center for Disease Control and Prevention), the fertility rates in the U.S. continue to fall, and have fallen dramatically for the last four (4) years, way below the 2.1 births necessary for replacement for those who exit this world...

Here are some stats as of 2018...

In fact, if one looks at the bottom ten (10) on the list, guess what states make up six (6) of those ten??

Give up?

The New England states!!

That's right; in order from "higher" to lower, they are: Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont.

Maine: 1.58; Connecticut: 1.57; Rhode Island: 1.49; New Hampshire: 1.47; Massachusetts: 1.45; and Vermont: a tragically low 1.44!!!   Vermont is only higher than the District of Columbia: 1.35, and Puerto Rico: a dismal 1.04!

What a disaster!

It should be noted that Rhode Island is considered to be the most "Catholic" state in the U.S.  In fact, Massachusetts and New Jersey (N.J. has a birth rate of 1.78) follow Rhode Island in that category.  But Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire are in the top twenty (20) of the states with the most Catholic populations.

So, if this is the case, and it is, then how can it be that the birth rates in those three states are so low?  What might be some of the factors that have led to those terribly low birth rates?

I have a couple of questions for anyone that may be interested, and may be indicative of why the birth rates are so low: 1) what does it mean to be Catholic in those three states?   And, 2) if one claims to be Catholic, shouldn't that person follow Church teaching on faith and morals?  In fact, if one claims to be Catholic, there is no choice but to follow Church teaching.  So, the second question has now been answered, but how about the first: what does it mean to be Catholic in those states?

Apparently, not much.

One factor: all three states are bastions of liberalism.  We know that the sin of liberalism is incompatible with Church teaching, for one thing, and is diametrically opposed to the command to multiply and subdue the Earth.  That's not my command, but the God Who made us.  And by the way, He wasn't speaking metaphorically!  Just as Christ wasn't speaking metaphorically when He told all of us that unless we eat His flesh and drink His blood (worthily) we will not have life in us!  Of course, just the opposite is true too (St. John, Chap. 6). 

It seems that those Catholics are very much American Catholics, rather than Catholic Americans!  Is there a difference?  Yes, in a big way.  

Many years ago, the prolific writer of letters and encyclicals, Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903), complimented America and Americans because we were able to practice our faith and be free (relatively so) from persecution.  But at the same time, condemned AMERICANISM.  Basically, the watering-down of Church doctrine in order not to offend non-Catholics.  There was more, but that compromise alone, has become the milestone around the neck of the Church here in the U.S. of A.

Americanism, has also fostered the scourges of abortion, contraception, euthanasia, and now infanticide, not to mention homosexuality, all "legal", apparently, in our country!

Could it also be a titanic chastisement for those crimes, especially committed by those who claim to be "Catholic"?

We know that one cannot be a follower of Christ, and, at the same time, follow the demon; it's one or the other.   Simply stated: we can't have it both ways in this life!

Pray for discernment, and pray for our country...

To Deceive, If Possible, Even The Elect...

With all the insults directed to God, coming out of Rome, more specifically, the "Vatican," in the form of sacrilege, scandal, idol worship, and mass confusion under the reign of pope Bergoglio, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if even the Elect were deceived.

One of the reasons for the incredible exodus of "Catholics" leaving the Church, is the terrible catechesis since that other source of mass confusion: the Second Vatican Council.  A generation-and-a-half have suffered under the modernists attempt to supplant the REAL Catholic Church with a poor imitation; a façade; similar looking, but with non-Catholic guts.  But even here it fails miserably, with Masonic-type tables replacing the altar, offering little more than a happy-time social gathering, instead of true sacrifice offered to God for praise and thanksgiving for the spiritual food of the Eucharist, without which, there is no life in the human creature (St. John, Capt. 6).

There have been numerous recent polls among those that claim to be church-going Catholics, revealing a devastating statistic: few, very few still believe in the Real Presence of our Lord in His Mass!  This is not only shocking, but also indicates just what the children of the post-Vat. II era are learning in what are classified as Catholic schools, and that includes "Catholic" colleges and universities.

It should be plain for all to see that any semblance of Catholicity is mostly gone from the campuses of most colleges that still call themselves Catholic, embracing, instead, the secular humanism and hedonism so prevalent in our American culture these days, much of which, is protected by "law" in  the tragic misuse of the First Amendment's freedom of speech.

But it is also fallacious court decisions -- specifically, the 1973 Supreme Court's horrific decision of  Roe v Wade -- that have led to the "legal" killing of the pre-born, wiping out nearly 62,000,000 tiny girls and boys under the guise of "privacy" found somewhere -- nowhere, actually! -- in the Constitution.  Moreover, just how many American "Catholic" women use, or have used, contraception, before, during and after Pope Paul VI's Humanae Vitae condemning same?

Add to this mess, how many "Catholics" were deceived in voting, not once, but twice for Obama?  Allowing eight years, in the office of president, a man that supported Murder, Inc., i.e., "planned parenthood," with nearly half a billion dollars -- that's $500,000,000 -- of taxpayer monies every single year.  Even today, with Mr. Trump as president, there is still close to that same amount of our money going to those sellers of aborted baby parts for profit!

It seems to me, that the "Elect" have been deceived...

If that is the case, then there will be few of the Remnant left at the Second Coming...  What a terrible day of judgment that will be, but the chaff will finally be separated from the wheat, and the demonic will end up in their permanent hellish abode for all eternity, while those left, faithful to their God, will enter His kingdom and rejoice with the Lamb...

Pray for discernment, and pray for our country...

The Sneaky Deep-Staters At The State Department...

Even though President Trump pulled us out of the lunacy of the Paris climate nonsense, the Deep-Staters are in the process of undermining their president's efforts to bring some measure of sanity back to the functioning of the U.S. government bureaucracy that is the (unnecessary?) State Department, headed by Mr. Pompeo...

As I write this, the girly-men that left their testosterone in the medicine cabinet, are continuing to send representatives to the ongoing talks among the European, socialist maggots hell-bent on stifling the American economy -- by international force of "law" -- while ignoring the real culprits emitting those nasty green-house gases that all those little kiddies are so afraid of.

And just who are those culprits?  China and India.

There is little to no mention of those two countries when it comes to sanctions, or to force them to put scrubbers on their filthy coal-burning plants.  In contrast, the U.S. has the cleanest coal-fired plants in the world!  Yet, it was Killary (that's Hillary) that boasted that she would do her dead-level best to close the coal mines and force those that make a living bringing low-Sulphur coal to the market, to the West Virginia unemployment office!!!

She didn't have a lick of sense, then, and she still doesn't...

Guess just who is sending reps to those meetings?   The heads of some of the biggest oil and gas, as well as utility companies in the world.  Talk about self-hating "capitalists".  Go figure...

This is just another example of the SWAMP that seems to fill back up, just as soon as Mr. Trump starts to drain it, and bring some measure of efficiency and loyalty to those that serve at the president's pleasure.  By the way, with all the ridiculous talk about the president not being able, or shouldn't fire someone that works in his administration, they fail to realize that a president can fire whomever he wants, even for no reason at all.  In point of fact, when William Clinton became president, he immediately fired literally hundreds of employees within the various cabinet offices, including many federal attorneys, with not a peep from the lamestream media, not one.

What I fear most, is that even if Mr. Trump wins in 2020, the virulent hatred of his enemies might just get violent.  In addition, what will happen after he serves-out his second term?  Will a Demonrat get elected to the presidency?  If that happens, you can kiss your rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness good-bye.  I am not exaggerating!

We must pray for our president, and pray for our country, now more than ever!

Drop Off Your Kids At School, And Your Parental Rights End!!

The title of this article is not an exaggeration!

In a recent court decision (by some deranged "judge") when you drop off your children at school, basically, you have forfeited your parental rights.  This is -- to put it mildly -- a disaster in the making.  Hence, the school then becomes the "parents," and you had better shut up if you don't like the filth of the curriculum that your child is being force-fed.

The question then begs: why would any parent subject their children to this madness?

What is going on here?

Could it be that most -- not all -- parents are ignorant of the brainwashing that goes on every single day; five days a week?

I can't believe that that is the case.

So, I ask again: what is going on here?

Only rarely does one read or hear about a parent or parents complaining or standing up against insane policies or the school's curriculum.  And what happens?  Very little at best; censoring, and even arrest at worst.  It has happened...

Remember, the "judge" said that parental rights end when you drop your child at the school door...

But there are a few organizations that are fighting ultra-liberal schoolboards across the country asserting parental rights and squashing programs designed to inculcate bizarre and destructive anti-American revisionist history.  But even more importantly, shoving down their throats demonic "sex-ed" programs that steal the innocence of their offspring.

But that's not all... It has become known, that underage children are secretly given birth control paraphernalia, and/or, vaccines, without parents' knowledge!! 

In the end, it is the responsibility of the parents for the education of their children, not the schools.  And if parents were to take this to heart, they would make the sacrifice to home-school, and pull their kids out of the indoctrination centers that pass for public "education".  Further, parents have a responsibility to God, the Giver of Life; the One who allowed husband and wife to become parents in the first place.  I cannot imagine the judgment parents will face if they shirk their duties, and allow their children to succumb to the spirit of the age that seems so enticing, yet so destructive...

Pray for our country...

If It Walks Like A Duck, And Quacks Like A Duck...

Using our common sense, we know that if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, you can be almost 99.99 percent sure that it is a duck.

The same goes for a traitor: if he talks like a traitor, and acts like a traitor, then you can be almost 99.99 percent sure that he (or she) is a traitor.

So, if you put the two together, then we can be reasonably sure that we have a duck that is a traitor!

Only kidding...

But I'm not kidding that we have "ducks" in Rome, headquartered in the Vatican, and we have "ducks" in D.C. headquartered in the "swamp".

Both entities, are, in reality, traitors.  The first group of "ducks," are those that wear the Roman collar and claim to be, or act like priests, but are traitors to Christ and His Church.  Their actions are simply a façade; a masquerade to fool, if possible, even the Elect.

Their "godfather" is the man in white, the current pope, quite close to a real-live gangster as we saw in the movie by the same name.  Corrupt to the core; he will "take out" those that oppose him.

In the secular world, especially here in the U.S. of A., we have the swamp monsters trying their dead-level-best to take out the one major roadblock that is stifling their demonic agenda: President Trump!

Both are traitors; one to Christ, and one to the country (via the Constitution).  Both are deadly; both have to be fought; both have to be utterly defeated, if not converted.  Our very lives depend on it.  Make no mistake, our very souls depend on it!!

Right now, in the new order "Catholic" Church, they have the buildings, but we have the Faith of our  Fathers...

In the United States of America, they have treasonous acts and Satan on their side, but we have the truth and God on our side.  Whom should we fear??

Both categories of traitors are hell-bent on taking out our country as well as our faith, but in the long run it is they who will be devoured by their own actions, as the boomerang returns to its thrower, and the initial instigators of the French Revolution, themselves, made that last walk to the guillotine.

God will not be mocked!

The Real FIRST Thanksgiving...

Well, here we go again... the "holidays" are quickly approaching.  And Thanksgiving is the first "big one," with Christmas following in its footsteps less than a month later.

I wonder, though, just how many Americans -- especially Catholics -- know that the real FIRST Thanksgiving was not celebrated by the Protestant Pilgrims in Massachusetts in 1621?

Want to know the truth??

The first REAL Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1565 in what was to become St. Augustine, Florida by Catholic priests, and attended by Native Americans and Spanish settlers where the holy sacrifice of the Mass was offered!

That was 56 years BEFORE the Pilgrims had their Thanksgiving!!

Believe it!

The next Thanksgiving was celebrated -- again by Catholics -- in 1598 in what was to become Texas!!

This was 23 years BEFORE the Pilgrims set sail from England on the Mayflower!!

Did you know that the Pilgrims were violently anti-Catholic??

Squanto, the beloved hero of Thanksgiving at Plymouth Rock, was a baptized Catholic!!!  Originally enslaved by the English, he was freed by the Franciscans and Baptized into the Catholic Church.  It was he, who orchestrated the -- THIRD -- Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims!!

There are many more interesting facts surrounding the real FIRST & SECOND Thanksgivings, but one of the most important -- and truly Catholic -- facts is that Thanksgiving in Greek is the word: Eucharistia, meaning the Body and Blood of Christ; is the True Thanksgiving Meal!!

Perhaps we Catholics should all go to Mass on Thanksgiving to give thanks for the bounty that our country has been blessed with, and, more importantly, to acknowledge the One Who we receive at Mass: our Lord, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world.  And, yes, He is still in control; don't despair!!

Pregnant With A Down Syndrome Baby? Stay Out Of Pennsylvania!!!

Demonrat "Governor" Tom Wolf vetoed a bill that would stop the murder of pre-born babies diagnosed with Down Syndrome, sighting women's "health care" would be in  jeopardy!!!

Lifesitenews.com:

In fact, it is common practice in America and around the world to abort preborn children specifically because of a Down’s diagnosis. It has been estimated that 67 percent of babies in the United States to receive a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted, 77% in France, 98% in Denmark, 90% in Great Britain, 65% in Norway, virtually 100% in Iceland, and 95% in Spain.

My Comment: The levels that these child-killing monsters will sink is nothing compared to the levels that they will sink to in hell.

Talk about child abuse; talk about anti-Semitism; talk about racism; talk about hate; talk about child sacrifice to Satan; talk about the religion of death and mayhem; and finally, talk about the loss of the immortal souls of these hideous baby killers...

At this point in time, the devil is in control of the numerous Demonrat (and some Republicrat) politicians that serve at his pleasure!  

Worse than any human sacrifice of the ancient Aztecs and Incas where the heart was ripped out of a living human to satisfy their sick gods to insure their prosperity, etc...

The sinister goal to make the killing of the pre-born accepted and normal has been accomplished; the sinister goal to make homosexuality normal and accepted has been accomplished; the sinister goal to let a baby that survived an abortion attempt, die and thrown into the trash, has been accomplished; the goal of killing the elderly (because they are "useless eaters") has been accomplished; the goal to destroy the family has almost been accomplished, and finally, the goal to eliminate God from our society has almost been accomplished; almost...

Pray for an end to the scourge of abortion, contraception, euthanasia, infanticide, homosexuality, and the other uncountable, un-natural "lifestyles" and attacks on the family that permeate our society.
