Government Tyrants In Pennsylvania Get Their Way -- For Now, That Is. Amish Farmer Prohibited From Selling Raw Dairy Products To His Private Members!

  You know, when it comes to treason it doesn't just apply to a spy selling state secrets to the enemies of our nation, it also applies to the elitist tyrants that sit in their cushy offices dictating what law-abiding Americans can put in their bodies in order to live healthier lives...

Apparently, the leftist mantra of "my body, my choice," doesn't apply to the good (Amish) farmers who grow decent, organic foods to sell to their private members and for those members to consume those foods!

The corrupt PA food dictators got their way -- for now, that is, when a judge was convinced by the lies and scare tactics used by those enemies of freedom to choose what someone can, or can not eat.

The attacks on those folks who grow organic food stuffs is nothing new.  A brief search will show that organic farmers have actually been "swatted" by the storm troopers of corrupt state and federal departments of justice (a real misnomer!) and food and drug watchdogs, with guns drawn, to destroy food products and totally shut down their ability to sell food to the locals in their community!   

Please watch the following short video (less than 4 minutes) and listen to the responses of the folks interviewed and judge for yourself... And by the way, if you think this injustice can't happen in your local community, think again...

Slithering, Heretical Snakes At The White House!

 Before I post this revealing article, I want to stress that I will put the words father and president in brackets.  Why?  Because it is painfully obvious that neither are legitimate or valid.  

The traitor, hair-sniffing pervert, Biden, because he was installed -- not elected! -- into the Oval Office, and the absolute heretic, pervert, James Martin cannot be a validly ordained priest of the Holy Catholic Church, that's why...

For an obvious example, if two baptized Catholics get married in the Church, one can presume -- that is, when the bans of marriage are announced and nothing negative is revealed -- that they validly received the sacrament of Holy Matrimony.  But that presumption rests on the belief that there were no impediments to the reception of the sacrament.  However, if one of the spouses at the time of the "marriage" is, say for example, a serial killer or a heretic, and that is not revealed or confessed beforehand, then that "marriage" is automatically null and void.  Plainly speaking, there was no marriage to begin with!  

So, neither can a communist, or a heretic be validly ordained to the priesthood!  That is a spiritual impossibility!  Remember too, that the former communist recruiter, Bella Dodd (and she revealed that there were others!), got commies and perverts to enter the seminaries and become "priests" to infiltrate and bring down the church from within.  What we are seeing today, are the rotten fruits of those communists and perverts that have done -- and continue to do -- their dirty work of destroying dogma and the faith of millions of Catholics, leading them over the cliff by the Judas goats -- the wolves in sheep's clothing -- to certain spiritual death! 

How many "priests," "bishops," "cardinals" and "popes," have deviated from the authentic teachings of the Church on faith and morals -- and the dogmas that must be believed if one is to be saved!

Scary!

Remember Archbishop Sheen's comment on a parallel church that calls itself Catholic??

The following article is from crisismagazine.com and written by Austin Ruse: Joe Hosts a Heretic - Crisis Magazine

I will post the entire article here, but not the photograph of these two despicable, smiling, heretics and perverts...

The very first line below, is taken from St. Paul's condemnation of those who eat and drink unworthily, in 1 Corinthians: 11:27,29...  

"Joe Biden is a heretic who eats and drinks his own spiritual death every time he unworthily takes Communion, which is all the time.

So, it is unsurprising Old Joe hosted another well-known heretic, ["Fr."] James Martin, S.J., at the White House last Sunday for St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick chased the snakes out of Ireland, and here was Old Joe allowing them to slither into the White House.

Let’s review the heresies of ["]Fr.["] James Martin, S.J.

Martin looks forward to the day when married gays can kiss at the sign of peace. He tells same-sex attracted people that God made them that way and that “He does not make junk.” He believes there is more than one “sexual orientation.” He says Catholic teaching on homosexuality has not been “received” and, therefore, can change. He says the same thing about contraception. 

He says the Church’s teaching on homosexuality must change from “disordered” to “differently ordered.” He says the Church’s teaching on homosexuality is “subhuman.” Martin says we must “reverence” committed, that is to say active, homosexual relationships. He says Catholic adoption agencies must place children with homosexuals or be guilty of “homophobia.” He believes the homosexual desire is among the deepest parts of a human being. One could go on and on.

And all the while, ["]Fr.["] Martin insists that he does not oppose any teachings of the Church. He spreads his heresies wherever he goes, including the White House. 

But, you say, he has been welcomed into the Vatican to sit down with the pope. True enough. And he has been appointed to various Vatican committees, including one on communication. It should be pointed out that the Holy Father is not infallible in the guests he invites into his presence.

I think Francis has no real idea of what Martin does and says and is generally up to with regard to normalizing sodomitical relationships. The pope does not read Crisis Magazine. So, who’s to tell him? The various heretics around him? Not likely. They are telling him, “Holy Father, those evil conservatives hate him because he wants to meet gays where they are!” And, “Holy Father, you know, those Trads want them to burn in Hell.” Without a doubt, we hear, to say the least, uncertain trumpets coming from Vatican City these days. Such trumpets sound an awful lot like the wah-wah-wah coming from the mouth of James Martin. No doubt, they know him well in certain Vatican offices. 

He wasn’t the only heretic hosted by the Heretic-in-Chief. Jesuit Thomas Reese was there. I don’t know all of his heresies, but I know one of them is his support for contraception, the font of most of the sexual evils for almost a century. He has called for the Church to surrender on the question of homosexuality. I don’t know for sure, but I suspect there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between ["]Fathers["] Reese and Martin.

A passel of Kennedys was there. How far from the tree! John Kennedy was a sinner, as are we all, but he was not a dissenter. Did you know that on that plane ride back to Washington, D.C., after Kennedy had his head blown off, LBJ was not sworn in on a Bible? According to historian Paul Kengor, they swore him in on a big fat Missal, the kind TLM Catholics use to this day. They found it in the plane. It belonged to Jack or Jackie. But you can figure that among the 30 or so Kennedys pictured with Joe, every single one of them dissents from Catholic teaching, and not a one dissents from the sexual revolution.

And so, it makes perfect sense that Old Joe would invite such a ["]priest["] as James Martin to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Joe Biden is in lockstep with a number of Church heresies. Joe believes in abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. He says kids have a human right to have their privates chopped off. Of course, he favors homosexual marriage, adoption, etc. These are old news. 

But the new thing is that he wants to institute hate crime laws against Catholics and others who oppose this new sexual dogma. He has initiated a global jihad out of USAID to punish Catholics anywhere in the world who vocally oppose this agenda.

Do not despair. This is marvelous. Why? Because He knows what He is about, and what did He do? He sent us to defend His Church and His creation at a time of maximum danger. This is as good as anything that happened in the second century. Do not miss this remarkable moment where the heretics bask in the sun and we are called upon to defend Holy Mother Church."

The Petrine See Is Being -- And Will Continue To Be! -- Held Hostage By The St. Gallen Mafia...

  No, this is not a "conspiracy theory," but a fact that can no longer be denied.  In fact, the good Bishop Schneider confirms this as a real, continuing threat to the Chair of St. Peter and will not change after the next conclave, to think differently is to be naive!

See this article from lifesitenews.com and written by the LifeSiteNews staff: Harrison Butker critiques Cardinal Dolan while Bishop Schneider puts Pope Francis on notice - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

Here is the entire article...

(LifeSiteNews) — Father Charles Murr is back for this week’s episode of Faith & Reason with Liz Yore and John-Henry Westen, discussing a Catholic event organized at Mar-a-Lago, Harrison Butker’s remarks on a letter he wrote to Cardinal Timothy Dolan about the transgender funeral at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the suppression of the Mission of Divine Mercy, and more. 

Westen begins the show discussing a Catholic prayer event for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump he attended at Mar-a-Lago, organized by John Yep of Catholics for Catholics. He notes that speakers at the event included Jim Caviezel, Roger Stone, Michael Knowles, as well as non-Catholics such as Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski.

Speaking to Stone’s remarks at the event, Westen recalls that Stone said he stopped practicing his faith for a time, though when he started again, he called out the Floridian hierarchy for not keeping churches open during COVID. His own bishop told him to stop coming to the Catholic Church after that, and now Stone attends Sunday services at a Protestant church. He still prays the daily Rosary.

Yore observes that if Stone is praying the daily Rosary, he will come back to Mass. Fr. Murr, meanwhile, assures Stone that he and many other Catholics were praying Rosaries for him after he was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Murr also draws attention to Michelangelo’s Last Judgment, saying that St. Dominic can be seen holding the Rosary out to the poor souls in purgatory and lifting them to paradise with it.

“I sure hope that Roger Stone gets back to his Catholic faith,” says the priest. “I would ask him to forgive that bishop for giving him such an unwelcome welcome.”

Yore compares what happened to Stone to Catholic pro-life activist Mark Houck, noting that Houck, now a congressional candidate, recently said that we no longer have freedom if the FBI “bangs on your door and threatens your children in an early morning raid,” according to Yore. To Yore, it is time to “stand up and push back.”

Murr also comments on the FBI raids, saying they were done to frighten us into avoiding any contradictions to the status quo.

Yore further observes that former Trump advisor Peter Navarro went to prison this week for contempt of Congress, a charge he is currently appealing. The arrest, the mainstream media noted, was rare for such a charge. The charges were brought against Navarro after he claimed executive privilege when asked to testify before Congress’ January 6 Committee. Navarro never had a chance to defend himself in a criminal trial, Yore notes, and will be in prison for four months for a misdemeanor charge.

Meanwhile, Harrison Butker, a kicker for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, appeared on an EWTN podcast and spoke about a letter he wrote to Cdl. Dolan about his dismay over the funeral of transgender activist “Cecilia Gentili” at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Butker said the funeral needed to be addressed before he returns to the cardinal’s podcast, on which he appeared last year. Butker told the outlet that he asked Dolan to make a “strong statement” about the event, that he was upset Dolan didn’t make such a statement, and that someone needed to be “held accountable” and “potentially fired” for the sacrilege.

Yore and Westen discussed Butker’s remarks about Dolan, both noting that Dolan said he received a “solidarity” letter from Butker explaining that he was upset about the funeral. Westen, however, calls out Dolan for an apparent “lie” regarding the letter’s contents, since his account does not seem to match that of Butker, explaining that Dolan “sets himself up” with his remarks and that Butker called him out.

The trio also speak to Butker’s remarks on abortion made during his appearance. Butker said that abortion is a “great atrocity that’s occurring with the massacring of the unborn.” He further opined that the unborn are the greatest victims in our society, that they do not have a voice, and that they cannot fight for themselves.

Yore draws attention to Butker’s use of his celebrity to promote the culture of life and recalls how Butker wore a tie during a visit to President Joe Biden’s White House with the words Vulnerari praesidio – protect the most vulnerable – written on it, referring to the unborn. He also wore a lapel pin in the shape of a 10-week-old infant in utero.

“These are the kinds of things that Catholics can do to send a message,” Yore says. For her, Catholics should follow in the footsteps of celebrities like Butker and Caviezel and not wait for bishops and clergy, but to do pro-life evangelism themselves, with the celebrities giving courage by their example.

Murr reacts to Butker’s remarks on abortion saying that it is not an “atrocity” but a “massacre.” “It’s not a blemish on our society, it’s an indictment that we can do this and be happy with ourselves,” he opines. He recalls that when once visiting a family, their daughter came in just after having an abortion and proceeded to make a ham sandwich as though nothing had happened.

“I remember watching this, and I’m thinking, ‘You can just sit down after an abortion and after killing your child and having a ham sandwich just like nothing,’” Murr laments. “What has happened to our conscience as a as a people? Our consciences individually?”

He also agrees with Yore’s assessment on the clergy regarding abortion, adding that if the bishops were to approach abortion the way they ought, “we would not be where we are.” He adds that unclear clergy on abortion are a scandal, though says that if abortion is a scandal, the fact of clergy being unclear on it is an outrage.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider recently appeared on a podcast discussing Fiducia Supplicans and the state of the Church.

Speaking about Fiducia Supplicans, Schneider recalls Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” in which a group of con men fool an emperor into thinking that they clothed him in garments invisible to fools, though the emperor himself realizes the con when a child points out the obvious that everyone else was afraid to point out. For Schneider, the faithful must be like the child in the story and respectfully tell Pope Francis that he is putting his own soul in danger and those of others with the December document.

He also refers to the St. Gallen Mafia in the interview, opining that it would be “logical” for them to stage meetings to plan on the 2013 conclave the way they did, as “the enemy is not sleeping.” Schneider calls on people to organize a “holy” mafia that will pray, do penance and reparation, and make sacrifices to “implore divine intervention” for the Church.

Yore reacts to Schneider’s remarks on the St. Gallen Mafia by advising people to stop being “naïve” to a “St. Gallen Mafia II” that is not “already planning the next conclave,” and that they will not relinquish the Petrine See.

(My emphasis.)

“We have to be absolutely vigilant and demanding of our cardinals in the run up to the the conclave to demand all sorts of things,” she states, including the removal of Ted McCarrick’s former roommate Cardinal Kevin Farrell as papal camerlengo, the man in charge of the papal conclave. She also calls for another Gagnon report to see how many Freemasons there are in the College of Cardinals – something she thinks needs to be known before the next conclave.

“This is a clarion call by Schneider to wake up, stop being naïve, don’t presume that things are going to be fixed in the next conclave,” she asserts. “We need to spiritually arm ourselves, but also to be vocal and to make demands to ensure that what comes next is not worse.”

Murr agrees with Yore, adding that priests must stop being afraid to speak the truth. Christ, he says, will take care of them. “We should speak clearly,” he maintains. “Many of us are not speaking clearly. Many of the clergy are afraid that they’re going to lose everything they have by speaking clearly. It’s time to speak clearly.”

Murr also speaks to Fiducia Supplicans, warning that Rome is doing to lady deacons what it did with irregular couples, in his opinion: playing with language – the women will be deacons but not deacons at the same time.

“Stop the game playing!” he exclaims. Looking to Rome’s approach to defending Fiducia Supplicans, Murr calls it “insulting” that “Rome takes us for such pathetic fools, that we’re really buying this. Nobody’s buying it.”

Murr does not doubt that there are Freemasons in the Curia, responding to the potential objection of “conspiracy theory” that the philosophy of Freemasonry and those running the Church is “the same,” but calls on people to remain in the Church. For him, we still have Christ, Scripture, and the teaching authority of the Church. “Follow that and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,” the priest advises.

“It’s a good time also to do penance,” he concludes. “We’re going into Holy Week. This is a fine week to do penance, to do fasting, to do praying, and also to do some letter writing to your bishops, to your pastors, to Rome, and to the Pope!”

Hong Kong Passes National Security Law Which Activists Warn Attacks Seal Of Confession!

 You reap what you sow is a proverb that says future consequences are inevitably shaped by present actions.

Remember the sellout of faithful Chinese Catholics to the communists by the faithless, treasonous Vatican's -- SECRET! -- agreement to allow the reds to approve "bishops" to head the "Catholic" Patriotic church?

That demonic action has driven faithful Chinese Catholics even further underground, back into the catacombs, you might say...

But not only that, but churches, chaples and other Catholic sites have had their Catholic identity ripped out right before their crying eyes, and replaced with images of Mao and other demons plastered in plain sight in those churches! 

These diabolical developments have occurred over the last 20 years or so, after the Brits caved to the commies and reverted Hong Kong to Red China's control...

The attacks on the Catholic faith will only get worse, in fact it has...

Please read the following article from lifesitenews.com and written by Michael Haynes: Hong Kong passes national security law which activists warn attacks seal of confession - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

Here is the entire article...

Wed Mar 20, 2024 - 10:17 am EDT

"HONG KONG (PerMariam) — In an expected development, Hong Kong legislators passed the controversial Article 23, which expands on the draconian National Security Law already in place. It is widely expected to lead to fresh curtailment of freedoms and could imprison Catholic priests who refuse to break the seal of confession.

On March 19, the feast of St. Joseph, Article 23 was unanimously passed in the Legislative Council Chamber of Hong Kong. It will come into force on March 23, with a draft copy of the law having been unveiled less than two weeks prior and a four-week consultation period for Article 23 having been instigated on January 30 by Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee.

John Lee welcomed the passage of the law and welcomed the manner in which Hong Kong was becoming increasingly in line with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He called it “a historical moment we have waited 26 years, eight months and 19 days for… Today, Hong Kong finally completed its constitutional duty of legislating Article 23 of the Basic Law. We live up to the expectations of the central government and our country.”

Lee further praised the new law for protecting Hong Kong from “destructive forces,” in what appeared a thinly veiled and mischaracterized description of the peaceful pro-democracy protests which have taken place in Hong Kong in recent years.

“We no longer need to worry that destructive forces would burn Hong Kong to the ground, destroying public facilities, throwing petrol bombs, setting fires, beating up residents with different views, push Hong Kong to the brink, destroy Hong Kong’s development that was years in the making,” he stated.

Lord Patten of Barnes, who served as the last British Governor of Hong Kong, condemned the law as “another large nail in the coffin of human rights and the rule of law in Hong Kong and a further disgraceful breach of the Joint Declaration.”

Lord Patten, a patron of Hong Kong Watch, stated:

Why should anyone believe any promises from Xi Jinping’s totalitarian regime on anything? Governments and parliaments around the world will take note and so will international investors. Meanwhile the wonderful and talented Hong Kongers who have taken refuge to our benefit in Britain and elsewhere will be confirmed in their decision. They are witnesses to the way in which real Chinese patriots believe in freedom and a decent life for their children.

His concerns were echoed by Hong Kong Watch co-founder and chief executive Benedict Rogers:

This death knell against the remaining freedoms in Hong Kong should be of grave concern to us all. We hope that this international response from policymakers and public figures around the world will send a clear message to the Hong Kong and Beijing officials that the world is still watching, and will not tolerate their egregious violations under international law.

 Specifically, we urge the international community to address the new threats posed by Article 23 legislation by imposing targeted sanctions, broadening lifeboat schemes for Hong Kongers, ensuring that the law is not applicable overseas and used for transnational repression, and reviewing Hong Kong’s special status including the status of Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices.

Under the terms of Article 23, as noted by the Hong Kong Free Press: “The law targets five types of offenses – treason, insurrection, sabotage, external interference, and theft of state secrets and espionage. Those convicted of the first three face life in prison, while anyone found guilty of sedition could be jailed for up to seven years – or 10 if they had colluded with an ‘external force’ – up from two years previously.”

Lee previously stated that authorities “can’t afford to wait” to implement Article 23, since “some of the ‘independent Hong Kong’ ideas are still being embedded in some people’s mind and some foreign agents may still be active in Hong Kong.”

It builds on the already notorious National Security Law (NSL), implemented in June 2020 in order to suppress dissent against the CCP. Catholic journalist and business tycoon, Jimmy Lai, is currently being prosecuted under the NSL and faces a potential life sentence if found guilty.

Catholic concern and potential CCP control

According to Frances Hui – the D.C. policy and advocacy coordinator for the CFHK – Article 23 “seeks to fill in the loophole created under the National Security Law.”

Indeed, Article 23 also presents a risk to priests and the sacrament of confession. A March 13 statement from a collection of individuals and groups – including Hong Kong Watch – warned that the terms of the law could directly impact the Catholic Church. Those who do not “disclose the commission of treason by others” could be subject to 14 years in jail, and this, the signatories warned, could include priests who heard details of such actions under the seal of the confessional.

PerMariam’s coverage of the open statement can be found here.

However, in a March 15 statement issued to members of the press, the Diocese of Hong Kong – led by Cardinal Stephen Chow, SJ since 2021 – downplayed any fears about the law and the sacrament of confession. The statement read:

1. With regard to the legislation of Article 23 on safeguarding national security, the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong recognizes that citizens have an obligation to ensure national security;
2. The Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong has expressed its views on Article 23 legislation;
3. The legislation of Article 23 will not alter the confidential nature of Confession (Sacrament of Reconciliation) of the Church.

PerMariam has asked the Diocese of Hong Kong for comment now that Article 23 has been passed, and will update this report accordingly.

In a statement issued to this reporter March 19, Hui warned that the fears of Hong Kong Catholics were not abated:

We have witnessed just in front of us how a piece of legislation introduced to the public just one month ago gets passed 12 days after it was tabled. The Article 23 legislation is putting an end to Hong Kong’s little freedom that remained and making the city unsafe for any individuals, organizations and businesses to go. I have serious concern about the religious communities in Hong Kong and their ability to practice their faith freely without fear.

 Although most of the organizations came out with statements saying it won’t affect their freedom of religion and the seal of confession, most faithful in Hong Kong will not feel comfortable and safe to share everything even behind closed doors in confession rooms.

Hui has previously warned that Article 23 could be easily used to isolate Hong Kong’s Catholics from the Vatican – a process already widely achieved in China via the state-controlled church, and reportedly exacerbated under the terms of the secretive Sino-Vatican deal.

Indeed, in an extensive report Hui recently published with the CFHK, she detailed that the Diocese of Hong Kong was already working with the CCP to effect Communist “control over elements of the Church.”

READ: Catholic diocese of Hong Kong ‘working with CCP’ to effect ‘Sinicization’

Newly created Cdl. Chow has been a cause of concern for China observers due to his conciliatory stance regarding the CCP. While one of his predecessors, Cardinal Joseph Zen, remains outspoken in his criticism of the Vatican’s secretive deal with China, Chow has shied away from such rhetoric and spoken instead of “dialogue.”

In her January report, Hui argued that Chow is actively assisting the CCP to promote its agenda: “The Catholic church in Hong Kong is proactively suppressing information on religious persecution in China and has diluted its focus on advocating the rights of the faithful in China.”

Chow has argued that CCP officials “really appreciate [Pope] Francis.” “They see him as someone with whom you can have dialogue, someone who is really interested in China. I say that because it came through in my conversations,” Chow told America Magazine in October 2023.

Hui’s report revealed that following his April 2023 trip to meet the CCP-approved bishop of Beijing, Chow “let it be known internally that all clergy in the Hong Kong church – including priests, seminarians, deacons, and sisters of the diocese and missionaries – will be expected to visit Beijing for an exchange.”

Such trips have already begun, she wrote, with a group from Hong Kong visiting Beijing in October and another scheduled to visit in the month just ended.

A reciprocal visit was paid to Hong Kong in November by Beijing’s Bishop Joseph Li Shan, who is the president of the Catholic Patriotic Association – the Chinese state-approved church.

Hui quoted from an anonymous Hong Kong Catholic priest, who stated about the various visits: “Seeing officers of the Liaison Office, the Catholic Patriotic Association, and the Religious Affairs Bureau, and hearing [Sinicization] seminars at the Renmin University of China – these are not exchanges, but brainwashing.”

A response has not been received to a February 2 email from this reporter, requesting comment from Cdl. Chow about Hui’s report.

The Diocese of Hong Kong’s public response to Article 23 has so far been notably muted. With Article 23 now about to take effect, fears raised for the future of the Catholic Church in Hong Kong look to be well supported, especially as the Vatican is likely set to renew its secretive deal with China later this year.
