In addition to "Cardinal" Dolan wearing the "rainbow sash" a couple of years ago at the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade (did he wear it again this year??) as well as exclaiming "BRAVO"! when asked about an NFL player "coming out" -- in other words, revealing the fact that he was/is a homosexual, all you have to do is to view (I wouldn't!) the recent parade passing in front of the desecrated St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Now, along that route were many pro-life folks carrying signs of the precious tiny babies that have their right to life snuffed out through the heinous act of mayhem and abortion.
However, those good folks were on the sidelines of the parade, and not allowed to be part of the parade itself!
Why?
Because the organizers of the parade had to appease those whose job it is to support the killing of the pre-born as well as fearing any backlash by allowing those pro-life folks from marching!
When you read the following article from lifesitenews.com and written by LifeSiteNews.com, you will notice that there wasn't a peep of condemnation from Dolan about not allowing the good and decent pro-life folks to march in the parade!
Why??
I'll let you figure that one out...
Here is the article in its entirety... (Pro-lifers excluded from NYC St. Patrick's Day parade highlight abortion crisis from sidelines - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)
(LifeSiteNews) — A large crowd of pro-life activists gathered peacefully Saturday on both sides of Fifth Avenue, as marching units in the New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade moved up the avenue past Saint Patrick’s Cathedral.
The assembly was called to bring renewed attention to the abortion crisis – a humanitarian disaster that spans the globe from Ireland to New York to small town America, organizers said.
Activists, many holding signs, came out in the largest numbers since the right-to-life movement first initiated its annual presence along the line of march.
That presence is the consequence of the shocking decision by parade organizers to exclude pro-life groups, marching under their own banners, from a Catholic-themed parade in honor of the Apostle of Ireland.
New York’s Saint Patrick’s Day Parade – which dates to 1762 – is the world’s oldest and largest celebration of Ireland’s Patron Saint.
Reviewed by the Archbishop of New York from the steps of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, the parade is a colorful spectacle of green dresses and wide smiles, parochial school troupes, marching bands, police officers and firefighters, military units, Irish County Associations, and visiting lawmakers from Ireland, who march up the city’s historic thoroughfare to the loud and distinctive skirl of bagpipes.
Missing from all of this Catholic ostentation however, are those who support what the religion of Saint Patrick teaches about the sanctity of innocent human life.
John Aidan Byrne, founder and president of Irish Pro-Life USA, and leader of the March 16 protest, made the following statement: “It is sad it has come to this, protesting on the sidewalks of a parade so rich in Irish and Catholic history. Once again, we are shocked and bewildered as to why parade organizers do not allow a pro-life group, with its banner, to march in this parade honoring the Patron Saint of Ireland and of the Archdiocese of New York.”
“We urge the parade leaders to end their appeasement of politicians, special interests, and secular culture, and admit to the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade those who adhere to the moral beliefs of Saint Patrick,” added Byrne, a local area resident, dual U.S. and Irish citizen, and a native of County Louth, Ireland.
The rally was supported by many pro-life organizations.
“New York State urgently needs to restore a culture of life. Radical pro-abortion laws are not the answer. We must defend the inalienable right to life from the moment of conception until death,” New York State Right to Life said in a statement. “We applaud the pro-life rally on the sidewalks of the New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade today.”
Dawn C. Eskew, president and founder of Personhood Education NY, Inc., said the pro-life message should not be sidelined by the New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade.
“A pro-life group carrying its own banner should be permitted to march in the parade as a matter of priority as we continue the campaign to restore a culture of life in our city and state,” she added.
Officials at Students for Life of America said pro-life efforts nationwide continue to be under assault.
“Students for Life of America (SFLA) is no stranger to this fight. We support the restoration of a pro-life culture,” the group said in a statement.
“Visibly displaying a life-affirming message is a part of that, and Irish Pro-Life USA and other pro-life groups like SFLA should be afforded the same signage and marching opportunities.”
A prominent pro-life group in Ireland was heartened by the rally in Midtown Manhattan.
“We congratulate the organizers and everyone who peacefully protested on the sidewalks of the 2024 New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in support of a pro-life values in New York, Ireland and across the globe,” said Life Institute, a pro-life and pro-family group based in Dublin, Ireland.
“We hope the Irish government is paying attention. Friends of Ireland and the Irish diaspora in America are sending a clear message in defense of the most vulnerable in our society. Well done.”
Indeed, among the variety of pro-life signs held aloft by activists were some with grim words for Eire: “Ireland’s 10,000 abortions in 2023. Why are we aborting our future?”
At least 10,000 children were aborted in Ireland in 2023, according to figures released earlier this year by Ireland’s Health Service Executive.
A second sign read, “Ireland Says No, No,” a reference to the recent crushing defeat for proposed changes by the Irish government on decades-old wording in two sections of the Irish Constitution on family and women in the home. Irish voters voted “no” twice.
At the rally in Midtown Manhattan, the assembled pro-lifers drove their message home.
“We are heartened by the large show of support here today for the inclusion of a pro-life group with its own banner in the New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade,” said Thomas M. Upshur, President of the Pro Bikers For Life, a U.S. nationwide pro-life association of motorcyclists.
Added Upshur: “Today’s message will ring out across the world, including Ireland, as we urge support for a pro-life and pro-family culture.”
Finally, C. J. Doyle, Executive Director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, issued the following message of support:
John Byrne, of Irish Pro-Life USA, is to be congratulated for his splendid effort to bring a substantial pro-life witness to a parade which ought to embrace and defend Catholic values, but, sadly, has chosen human respect over Catholic truth.
In one of his two extant writings, A Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus, our Patron, Saint Patrick, condemns, in harsh language and unequivocal terms, the willful murder of the innocent, describing those who shed innocent blood as “savage wolves,” “sons of the Devil” and “fellow citizens of the demons.
Anyone who claims to honor Saint Patrick while refusing to defend innocent life is a hypocrite unworthy of his heritage and unfaithful to the religion of his baptism. The disciples of Saint Patrick are those who, like their Apostle, defend the defenseless.
Today in Manhattan, the true sons of Saint Patrick were on the sidewalks of New York."
Pray for strength and honor! We will need it now more than ever in the coming days!!

Remember Terri Schiavo?
I do.
I followed the on-going, agonizing murder of Terri almost on a daily basis.
It took almost two agonizing weeks before Terri finally died from severe dehydration. Terri’s unjust death was not some quick, peaceful passing. It was a brutal, slow march toward death at the request of her estranged and unfaithful husband, Michael Schiavo, who petitioned the court (with perjured testimony) for permission to kill his wife.
Michael made this decision after a medical malpractice lawsuit, which awarded a medical trust fund worth nearly a million dollars that was specifically meant for Terri’s lifelong care and rehabilitation.
Almost immediately after the trust was established, Michael broke his promise and marital vows to continue caring for Terri and began his pursuit to end her life. Michael knew that, as Terri’s guardian, he would receive a life-changing payday if he were successful in killing her before the trust was used to fulfill its original purpose.
In 2000, after two failed attempts to end Terri’s life by withholding prescribed antibiotics to treat her urinary tract infections, Michael petitioned the Florida court and asked a judge to do what he could not achieve through deliberate and underhanded neglect.

As ungodly and wicked Michael’s motivations were, they were nothing more than a symptom of the same poison that has infiltrated today’s public institutions, including the U.S. healthcare system. Just as the lust for money fueled Michael’s decision to end Terri’s life, our healthcare system functions with the same purpose.
Compared to other wealthy countries, the U.S. ranks the highest in the money it spends per person—four times more than the average—and yet, has the worst healthcare system overall, according to research by the Commonwealth Fund. Administrative inefficiencies and waste are mostly responsible for these exorbitant healthcare costs.
The solution, at least in the minds of the ruling class that runs the system? Rather than trying to reduce waste, they choose to simply reduce costs by denying or rationing expensive care for our medically vulnerable, like those with disabilities or brain injuries, imposing de facto death sentences that are carried out before medical bills can accrue.
Only a detached, immoral administrator with no accountability to any real oversight entity would think about implementing such a cost-control system. However, because of the culture that now permeates society, this is precisely where we have landed.
Consider the complicated quality-adjusted life year (QALY) measure. As bioethicist Wesley J. Smith explains, “QALY distinguishes between actual life expectancy and quality-adjusted life years.” Smith uses the example of an able-bodied man who is expected to live 10 years and who would have more QALYs than a disabled man, impacting his cost-benefit analysis. For over 30 years, QALY has been used by private and federal health insurers to ration care in the U.S. and worldwide.
While QALY is openly acknowledged, there have been clandestine decade-long efforts to enshrine its principles in federal and state regulation. Take just two examples of what hospitals have at their disposal: medical futility policies and the redefining of feeding tubes from basic care to “medical treatment,” making it legal to either remove or deny them to patients in all 50 states.
All work harmoniously to serve the hospital’s (financial) interest rather than the patient’s. Indeed, if what we witnessed during the pandemic didn’t open your eyes to a tyrannical government in charge of the medical community, I’m not sure what will.
People with cognitive disabilities are the primary target of this anti-life, cost-containment mindset that has subverted the U.S. healthcare system because they are frankly the easiest prey. Consider that, according to the CDC, the total annual healthcare cost of nonfatal brain injuries is over $40 billion.
This expense, combined with the widespread anti-life ideology, leads those in charge to believe that if a patient’s long-term prognosis is expensive and killing is cheap, ending a patient’s treatment becomes justifiable.
However, there is an abundance of money available for the care of these vulnerable individuals, and one does not have to look very deep to find it. For instance, the Government Accountability Office reported that incorrect payments made by our federal government cost U.S. taxpayers $247 billion in 2022 and nearly $2.4 trillion were squandered in simple payment errors over the last two decades.
If the $247 billion of mistaken payments were applied only to the long-term requirements for our brain-injured at $40 billion annually, over 200,000 patients could be treated, saving them from an arbitrary and unjust death sentence. Especially, if patients are granted access to recent groundbreaking discoveries regarding brain recovery that can change a hopeless prognosis.
The impact of helping these persons rather than bureaucrats working to alleviate their gross incompetence by denying needed care would be transformative. Permitting the killing of our fellow humans merely as a cheap way to cut costs must end. Doing so would transform our culture from one that chooses death to a culture of life and afford families the blessing of caring for their most vulnerable members, who they love unconditionally.
This is what motivated my family to establish the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network in response to my sister’s death. Our mission is to advocate for families who want to care for their loved ones. There is not a week that goes by when we don’t get calls from families in crisis after strangers have stripped them of all decision-making power.
Nineteen years ago, Terri suffered a death that I’m unable to properly describe using words. The effects of her dehydration caused blood to pool in her eyes, and her body was so ravaged that it reached the point that she became disfigured and unrecognizable. If my sister’s death were an isolated case, it would be heartbreaking enough, but that such instances occur every day in our country—with no effort to stop them—is inconceivable.
But this happens when a society forsakes Jesus Christ and no longer fears the consequences of denying that we bear His image and that all human life is sacred. Until we proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior, the insanity of willfully leaving the least of His brothers and sisters to die will continue."

I could make a million comments about this "case," but suffice to say that this is a horrible example of the rampant culture of death so prevalent in the U.S. -- and around the world for that matter...
Unless and until hearts and minds are converted to Christ our Lord, that heinous culture will not change!
At the present time, Satan -- the father of lies and death -- has the upper hand. This can be seen in the near total destruction and treason of the novus ordo church, and, as the church goes, so goes society...

Lent is the leadup to the Passion and Death of Our Dear Lord... But we believers know that Satan was conquered and defeated by the death -- and Resurrection of Christ!
As the title of my article suggests, others who have spoken the truth have also been killed.
However, some of those killed are reported to have committed suicide.
Keep in mind, there are "professionals" that know how to make a murder look and feel as though someone took their own life.
This brings me to a story that is still breaking as I write this missive: the case of John Barnett...
(I have been following this developing story for the last few days...)
Who is, or, should I say, who was John Barnett?
I will post the entire article from thegatewaypundit.com and written by Boeing Whistleblower Who Died Suspiciously Said This to His Friend Before His Death: 'If Anything Happens to Me, It's Not Suicide' (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft.
Please read this article and decide for yourself if this was a murder -- as I believe it was, in fact, a "hit" by professionals hired to shut up Mr. Barnett -- for good. Dead men tell no tales...
"A former Boeing manager and whistleblower, John Barnett, had told a close friend days before his untimely death that if anything happened to him, it would not be suicide.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Barnett was found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted wound inside his car in a hotel parking lot shortly after testifying against the aerospace company.
Barnett had accused Boeing of neglecting safety concerns and retaliating against him for his disclosures.
The 62-year-old, who had a 32-year tenure with the company until his retirement in 2017, died on March 9 during a break from depositions in a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit.
“Barnett’s death came during a break in depositions in a whistleblower retaliation suit, where he alleged under-pressure workers were deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the assembly line.” the Daily Mail reported.
Charleston police are investigating after Barnett was found in his truck “suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.”
According to the Daily Mail, Barnett was reportedly found with a ‘silver handgun’ in his hand and his finger on the trigger.
In the wake of his death, a suicide note was reportedly found near Barnett, raising questions and skepticism among his legal team.
His attorneys, Robert Turkewitz and Brian Knowles, have publicly questioned the conclusion that Barnett took his own life, urging the Charleston police for a thorough investigation.
They emphasized Barnett’s upbeat spirits before his scheduled deposition and expressed disbelief that he would commit suicide.
Adding to the mystery, police have conducted an extensive examination of Barnett’s vehicle, a process not typically associated with clear-cut suicides. According to reports, police have dusted his car for fingerprints.
Hotel staff members also recounted Barnett appearing completely normal on the evening preceding his death.
Now this…
In a shocking revelation to ABC News, a close family friend of John Barnett disclosed his haunting premonition before his untimely death.
Jennifer, whose mother has been lifelong friends with Barnett’s mother, shared that Barnett had expressed concerns about potentially ending up dead in a scenario falsely framed as suicide.
Jennifer recounted her conversations with Barnett, emphasizing his love for life and dismissing any possibility that he could have taken his own life.
“He wasn’t concerned about safety because I asked him, I said, aren’t you scared? And his voice and the way he would talk, ‘no, I ain’t scared,’ he said, but if anything happens to me, it’s not suicide. I know that he did not commit suicide. There’s no way. He loved life too much. He loved his family too much. He loved his brothers too much to put them through what they’re going through right now,” she said.
Barnett’s premonition has now become a chilling focal point for those demanding a thorough investigation into his death. His claim, perceived as a warning, has ignited speculation and concern over potential foul play."

Boeing is a huge, powerful, wealthy company that produces jet airliners as well as being a major defense contractor. Would they go to the extreme to have someone killed to keep the truth from the public?
I contend that this very same scenario has been played out over and over again for anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear, right here in our beloved nation by those who hate the truth and fear the consequences to their reputation -- and their wallet!
Pray for justice for Mr. John Barnett, for his family and for strength and honor!

The gatewaypundit.com (written by West Point Removes the Words ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ From Its Mission Statement.
See the full article here: West Point Removes the Words 'Duty, Honor, Country' From Its Mission Statement | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance
Here is the very first sentence of the article: "West Point has removed the words ‘duty, honor, country’ from its mission statement, replacing them with the more generic words ‘Army values.’"
What does that mean??
Actually, I think I know...
This is sick and disgusting, but what would you expect from the Marxist regime currently holding the Oval Office -- and the country hostage?
Read it for yourself, and then ask: why should any young, patriotic man want to enter West Point, or the military at all?
From the article: "This change comes amid the worst military recruiting problem in the United States in years. Does anyone in military leadership think this will help with that issue?
This will also do nothing to quiet the idea that the military has gone ‘woke.’"
Breitbart News reports:
West Point Removes ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ from Its Mission Statement
West Point Superintendent Army Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland on Monday announced a new mission statement for the venerable institution that replaces the words “duty, honor, country” for the more generic “Army values.”
The West Point’s previous mission statement was:
To educate, train and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the nation as an officer in the United States Army.
The new statement says:
To build, educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets to be commissioned leaders of character committed to the Army Values and ready for a lifetime of professional excellence and service to the Army and Nation.
Gilland claimed he wanted to focus more on the “mission essential tasks” of “build, educate, train, and inspire” versus “duty, honor, country.”
Secretary of the Army, Christine Wormuth (that's part of the problem, having a female as the head of the Army!) and Army Chief of Staff, Randy George both approved the change.
Treason!
My emphasis..
This Randy George character must be at least a Lt. General (three stars) or higher, yet he cannot stand up to the "woke" lunatics running and ruining our country!!
How sad...
Now, compare the above nonsense with this: This US Navy Seal Terrified The NVA (*ACTUAL FOOTAGE*) Vietnam War Combat Footage (youtube.com)
At least two Medals Of Honor were awarded for this incredible action in "my war"...

Is this an example of "invincible ignorance" what the Quran teaches, or is this just plain ignorance -- most importantly, of what the true Catholic Church teaches?
Let's keep in mind that over the years, this supposed shepherd of one of the largest archdioceses in the U.S. has worn the "rainbow sash" at the now-depraved St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York! But that's not all... Does anyone remember an interview he gave some years back regarding an NFL player "coming out," in other words, admitting he was a homosexual? What was his response?
"BRAVO!"
That was his response!
Then there was the recent, scandalous desecration of St. Patrick's cathedral hosting a funeral "service" for a homosexual sex worker known far and wide for un-mentionable, bizarre sexual escapades in that damned "community"...
Keep in mind that Dolan is a "cardinal" of the novus ordo church!
Oh, by the way, the archdiocese of N.Y. has closed or plans to close over 300 parishes in order to "consolidate" their churches due to dwindling Mass attendance, which, of course, will further erode their already paltry revenues.
Now, the question begs: why are there fewer and fewer practicing Catholics in the rotten apple?
Could it be that the Catholic faith is rarely if ever taught from the pulpit? And could it be that many of those "Catholics" use contraception and commit the heinous, ex-communicable crime of abortion? Could that be why the Catholic population of the novus ordo church is slowing dying on the vine?
Need I say more?
Now comes another massive scandal from this traitor to the Catholic faith... From lifesitenews.com and written by Andreas Wailzer:
Here are the first several paragraphs of the article...
NEW YORK (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Timothy Dolan has wrongly claimed that Muslims are “a good example” to Catholics “on our Lenten journey.”
In a video message dedicated to the beginning of the month-long season of Ramadan on March 11, Dolan expressed his appreciation for the Islamic feast.
“It’s a lot like their version of lent, which we are going through now as Catholics, as Christians.”
“Our Islamic brothers and sisters take very seriously fasting, acts of sacrifice and self-denial and penance, deeper prayer,” he continued. “Boy, they take that very, very seriously during this month of Ramadan. They’re a good example to us as we are on our Lenten journey to kind of be in solidarity with our Islamic brothers and sisters.”
Please read the whole article -- if you can stomach it...
Remember too, that the Muslims do not recognize our dear Lord as the Son of God!
Does Dolan?

And this from lifesitenews.com and written by Paul Bennett...
Here are the first two paragraphs of the article...
DUBLIN (LifeSiteNews) — On Mother’s Day weekend in Ireland, the public overwhelmingly rejected proposals to amend the Irish Constitution to redefine family, marriage, and motherhood.
In a historic landslide result, voters rejected the Family Referendum, which proposed to expand the definition of a family to include “durable” extra-marital relationships, by 67.7 percent and the Care Referendum, which proposed to rewrite part of the nation’s Constitution in gender-neutral language, by 73.9 percent. The Care Referendum result represents the highest percentage of “no” votes of any referendum held in Ireland. County Donegal delivered the biggest no vote across the country with over 80 percent of voters rejecting government amendments. Turnout for the double referendum was 44 percent.
