Pro-Death, Apostate, N. Pelosi, Defies Archbishop Cordileone And Sacrilegiously Receives The Holy Eucharist!

 Question: why doesn't the good Archbishop publicly ex-communicate this radical supporter of the slaughter of the pre-born?

What is he afraid of?

Public backlash??

Bad publicity???

His life????

What is his reason?????

A public ex-communication could work wonders and send a much-needed message to the rest of the cabal of apostate Catholics, not only in the remaining days of the cabinet of the apostate-in-charge, Biden, but also to all abortion-supporting "Catholics" across the fruited plain, and dare I say, around the world?

Here is a very telling article of pride and arrogance publicly displayed by Pelosi, from lifesitenews.com and written by Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent

BREAKING: Archbishop Cordileone urges prayers for Pelosi after she boasts of receiving Holy Communion despite his ban - LifeSite

"SAN FRANCISCO (LifeSiteNews) — San Francisco’s Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone has responded to Nancy Pelosi’s rejection of his ban on her receiving Holy Communion, urging Catholics to pray for her “conversion on the issue of human life in the womb.”

Late on December 10, Archbishop Cordileone issued a statement in response to a recent interview former Speaker of the House gave to the dissident National Catholic Reporter (NCR).

READ: Nancy Pelosi boasts of receiving Communion despite Archbishop Cordileone’s ban: ‘His problem, not mine’

The prolifically pro-abortion Democratic politician told NCR that despite her bishop having explicitly banned her from presenting herself for Communion in his archdiocese, “I received Communion anyway.”

“That’s his problem, not mine,” she added. “My Catholic faith is, Christ is my savior. It has nothing to do with the bishops.”

“Nancy Pelosi’s recent interview with the National Catholic Reporter has elicited a number of requests of me to offer a comment on it,” Cordileone began. “First and foremost, I would like to renew my request for prayers for the Speaker’s conversion on the issue of human life in the womb, that it be consistent with the respect for human dignity she displays in so many other contexts.”

The San Francisco prelate drew from Scripture, making an apparent warning for Pelosi’s spiritual welfare if she continued to present herself for Holy Communion:

As for myself, what immediately comes to my mind are the words of the prophet Ezekiel: ‘If the just turn away from their right conduct and do evil when I place a stumbling block before them, then they shall die.  Since you did not warn them about their sin, they shall still die, and the just deeds that they performed will not be remembered on their behalf.  I will, however, hold you responsible for their blood.  If, on the other hand, you warn the just to avoid sin, and they do not sin, they will surely live because of the warning, and you in turn shall save your own life.’ (Ez 3:20-21)

As a pastor of souls, my overriding concern and chief responsibility is the salvation of souls.  And as Ezekiel reminds us, for a pastor to fulfill his calling, he has the duty not only to teach, console, heal and forgive, but also, when necessary, to correct, admonish and call to conversion.  One of the most the effective ways for a pastor to accomplish these duties is by way of dialogue, honest dialogue, where each party listens openly and honestly, seeking to understand the other, and being honest with one’s own self.

My own personal experience has taught me that this kind of dialogue can dispel misperceptions and melt away hostilities, and build new bonds of friendship. I therefore earnestly repeat once again my plea to Speaker Pelosi to allow this kind of dialogue to happen.

I ask this not only to dialogue in areas of disagreement, such as if and when it can ever be morally permissible to kill innocent human life, but also in other critical areas where our views on behalf of human life and dignity are aligned, especially threats to religious liberty internationally and the plight of immigrants domestically.  This should not be a problem, as Catholics are not afraid of the truth.”

In May 2022, Cordileone banned Pelosi from presenting herself for Holy Communion due to her public, continued support for abortion. Despite this, Pelosi continued to receive Holy Communion at public Masses since Cordileone’s declaration, notably at the Vatican on June 29 of that same year.

Pope Francis defended his decision to allow Pelosi to receive Communion by appealing to a need to be “pastoral.”

Cordileone’s 2022 statement caused waves in the US ecclesiastical and political spheres, serving to also highlight the divide amongst the U.S. Catholic bishops as some issued letters of support and many more remained silent.

The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is always wrong because it kills an innocent human being, thus violating the Church’s prohibition on murder, a teaching which “remains unchangeable.”

“Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense,” reads the Catechism of the Catholic Church. “The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life.”

Furthermore, the Church’s Canon Law 915 stipulates that under no circumstances are those who persist in manifest grave sin to receive the Holy Eucharist. “Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion.”

It was based on this very directive of Canon Law that Fr. Robert E. Morey of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, South Carolina, famously refused to give Biden Holy Communion in 2019. In comments to media in the aftermath, Morey explained his reasons: “Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that.”

“Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching,” he added.

Biden, despite his own prolific support for abortion, has also received support from Pope Francis as regards being admitted to Holy Communion."

This story is developing…

And, as Archbishop Cordileone requests, we should pray for the conversion of Pelosi and all fallen-away Catholics, that they return to orthodoxy and the Catholic faith!

Pray too for strength and honor!

Is This The Face Of The REAL Catholic Church?? EXCLUSIVE: "Cardinal" Radcliffe Defends Controversial 2013 Text On Homosexual Acts

 This gent is truly morally, spiritually and mentally ill!

How much longer will we have to endure these modernist, sexually twisted madmen?

EXCLUSIVE: Cardinal Radcliffe defends controversial 2013 text on homosexual acts - LifeSite

Keep in mind that Bergoglio just made this character a "cardinal," that is, if you believe in fairy tales...

As the evidence piles up that those numerous males in the hierarchy of the new, novus ordo, synodal "church" are homosexuals and Freemasons, it becomes more difficult for the pope-spainers to justify with their verbal gymnastics, to attempt to align Bergoglio with church teachings!  Of course, this is total lunacy!  

From lifesitenews.com and written by Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent

Here is the subheading of the article: Speaking to LifeSite's Vatican correspondent on the sidelines of the consistory, the English cardinal defended his controversial 2013 text in which he likened same-sex activity to Christ's gift of self in the Holy Eucharist.

"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, O.P., sought to clarify and defend one of his most controversial writings on homosexuality in which he likened same-sex activity to Christ’s self-gift and added that the Church needs to have a more general principle of “welcome” for LGBT people.

Speaking in an interview with LifeSiteNews on the day before he was created a cardinal on December 7, Radcliffe responded to a question about one of his most controversial passages. (Full transcript of the interview is found at the end of this report.)

PHOTOS: 21 new cardinals created by Pope Francis at the Vatican

In Radcliffe’s contribution to the 2013 Anglican Pilling Report, he weighed in on the topical issue of same-sex “marriage,” appearing to liken homosexual activity to “Christ’s self-gift.”

He wrote that not every marriage is fertile and that we must avoid a “mechanical or simplistic” understanding of fertility. Jesus “is God’s fertile word. And surely it is in the kind and healing words that we offer each other that we all share in fertility of that most intimate moment.”

Continuing, Radcliffe appeared to positively compare same-sex activity with Christ’s gift of Himself in the Eucharist:

How does all of this bear on the question of gay sexuality? We cannot begin with the question of whether it is permitted or forbidden! We must ask what it means, and how far it is Eucharistic. Certainly, it can be generous, vulnerable, tender, mutual and non-violent. So, in many ways, I would think that it can be expressive of Christ’s self-gift. We can also see how it can be expressive of mutual fidelity, a covenantal relationship in which two people bind themselves to each other forever.

And what about fertility? … Biological fertility is inseparable from the fertility of our mutual tenderness and compassion. And so that might seem to remove one objection to gay marriage. I am not entirely convinced, since it seems to me that our tradition is incarnational, the word becoming bodily flesh. And some heterosexual relationships may be accidentally infertile in this sense, but homosexual ones are intrinsically so.

We can also see how homosexuality can be expressive of mutual fidelity, a covenantal relationship in which two people bind themselves to each other forever. But the proposed legislation for “gay marriage” implies that it is not understood to be inherently unitive, a becoming one flesh. This is why no equivalence is proposed either for nonconsummation, the becoming one flesh, nor for adultery, which is the denial of that bond.

These words from the former master of the Dominican Order were again highlighted by numerous Catholic news outlets in recent weeks when Pope Francis announced the priest would be elevated to the College of Cardinals. Attention was given to Radcliffe’s apparent likening of same-sex activity – which the Church teaches is disordered in itself – to Christ’s pure and complete gift of self in the Eucharist.

Questioned by LifeSiteNews in Rome, Radcliffe stated that the passage had been misunderstood.

The issue at hand, he said, was about “gay marriage. And what I had to look at was if the model of sexual ethics is Christ’s self-gift in the Eucharist, which is forever and opens up a whole new world. In the end, I decided that was the point of it.”

“But what happens often is people alight on a phrase, take it out of its context, and then try and weaponize it. Alas, that happens all the time.”

Radcliffe was one of the regular celebrants for the “LGBT Masses” held in London, the notorious “Soho Masses.” His record is notable for being widely permissive to the LGBT cause and for opposing previous Vatican documents on the matter.

Shortly before the Vatican issued its 2005 document reaffirming the ban on admitting men with “homosexual tendencies” into seminaries, Radcliffe publicly objected to the predicted ban. Writing in the London Times, Radcliffe argued that “(a]ny deep-rooted prejudice against others, such as homophobia or misogyny, would be grounds for rejecting a candidate for the priesthood, but not their sexual orientation.”

Then, in an article for The Tablet, he said, “I have no doubt that God does call homosexuals to the priesthood, and they are among the most dedicated and impressive priests I have met.”

He also wrote in 2012 defending the Church teaching that same-sex “marriage” is impossible, but adding:

This is not to denigrate committed love of people of the same sex. This too should be cherished and supported, which is why church leaders are slowly coming to support same-sex civil unions. The God of love can be present in every true love.

 Questioned by LifeSiteNews as to what Catholic outreach to LGBT individuals might look like, Radcliffe replied that “generally speaking, the main thing that we have to do is to say, ‘you’re welcome.’”

Referencing his celebration of the Soho Masses, Radcliffe stated that “just as when people come to Mass: if they come up to Communion, married people, I don’t ask them whether they’re being faithful. I don’t ask them what they do in bed.”

Instead, he commented that “I say, ‘You’re welcome.’ It’s up to them and their confessors as they face God, that’s where those questions are raised. Our question is simply to be there with them, welcoming as best we can.”

Under the leadership of Cardinal Ratzinger in 1986, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) issued a document instructing bishops on the pastoral care of homosexual persons. The CDF admonished bishops to ensure they and any “pastoral programme” in the diocese are “clearly stating that homosexual activity is immoral.”

Such an authentic pastoral approach would “assist homosexual persons at all levels of the spiritual life: through the sacraments, and in particular through the frequent and sincere use of the sacrament of Reconciliation, through prayer, witness, counsel and individual care,” the CDF stated.

The instruction adds:

But we wish to make it clear that departure from the Church’s teaching, or silence about it, in an effort to provide pastoral care is neither caring nor pastoral. Only what is true can ultimately be pastoral. The neglect of the Church’s position prevents homosexual men and women from receiving the care they need and deserve.

Therefore, special concern and pastoral attention should be directed toward those who have this condition, lest they be led to believe that the living out of this orientation in homosexual activity is a morally acceptable option. It is not.

Meanwhile the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered” and “contrary to the natural law.” The catechism is very clear that homosexual activity can never be approved and repeats that “(h)omosexual persons are called to chastity.”

LifeSite’s full interview with Cardinal Radcliffe is below:

Michael HaynesWe now have four cardinals from England, which is quite a lot for a small country.

Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, O.P.: I think it’s the first time ever.

MHIs there something you think the Holy Father sees in the English characteristic that he wants?

TRdon’t think so. Of course, (there is) the wonderful Vincent (Nichols) naturally as Archbishop of Westminster. Arthur (Roche – head of Dicastery for Divine Worship), because of his great gifts.

I think Cardinal Michael (Fitzgerald) – because of his international experience working in dialogue with Islam all over the world. And I’ve been very happy and blessed to have that international experience as the Master of the Order. So we all have international experience, I think, rather than being English.

MHSomething which has been raised in a few reports since you were named cardinal is your contribution to the Pilling Report, about human sexual ethics. You mentioned how I think same sex activity could be expressive of Christ’s self giving. It’s caused a lot of consternation recently. Could you expand on this?

TR: I think I could. The question – it was not a general view of sexual ethics – the question was about gay marriage. And what I had to look at was if the model of sexual ethics is Christ’s self gift in the Eucharist, which is forever and opens up a whole new world.

In the end, I decided that was the point of it. Very few people saw the point of what I was making is why I don’t think you can have gay marriages, because they are not open to fertility in that way.

Every sacrament blesses some aspect of being alive. So whether it’s baptism, (which) blesses that we are born, we eat and drink, the whole of our human physical life is blessed.

The point of that interview was to show that part of life in this planet is the fact that it is generative through sexual differences of new forms, and that was not possible, which is why you can never have gay marriages.

But what happens often is people alight on a phrase, take it out of its context, and then try and weaponize it. Alas, that happens all the time.

MHWhat do you think then, in light of that and in current society – where we see a lot of lot of changes in cultural norms – how do you think the Church can have a good outreach to LGBT individuals?

TR: I think that, generally speaking, the main thing that we have to do is to say “you’re welcome.”

I was asked by Cardinal Murphy O’Connor to preside at a Mass which is especially open to gay people (London’s LGBT ‘Soho Masses’). I did so as long as he wished, and the question of sexual ethics almost never came up.

People come all they want is you to say “hello, you’re welcome.” That’s what people want. Just as when people come to Mass: if they come up to Communion, married people, I don’t ask them whether they’re being faithful. I don’t ask them what they do in bed. I say, “You’re welcome.” It’s up to them and their confessors as they face God, that’s where those questions are raised. Our question is simply to be there with them, welcoming as best we can."

Breaking!! CDC Now Recommends Children Be Exposed To 36 Vaccine Doses By Age 2!!

 A quick note: let's hope the RFK, Jr. will right this lunacy on day one, if not, then more little ones will be exposed to the maniacs who want to depopulate the earth -- and make uncountable billions of dollars from dumbed down parents sacrificing their precious kids to the globalist crazies.

Read and heed this article for the sake of the children...

CDC now recommends children be exposed to 36 vaccine doses by age 2 - LifeSite

Here is the subheading of the article from lifesitenews.com and written by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

"The CDC is escalating its childhood vaccination agenda and now says children should be exposed to 36 doses by age two and 70 by age 18 – a massive increase since the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which gives vaccine makers full liability protection."

(My emphasis.)

"(Courageous Discourse) — The 2025 Immunization Schedule was approved by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and adopted by CDC Director Mandy Cohen on October 24, 2024:

Children are now recommended to be exposed to 36 vaccine doses from in-utero to age two (four doses in the pregnant mother, 32 doses in the child from birth to age two). By age 18, the CDC now advises over 70 doses when taking into account routine COVID-19 and flu injections. This represents a massive increase in recommended vaccine doses since the inception of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act giving vaccine makers full liability protection:

Since they enjoy full liability protection, pharmaceutical companies currently get their injections approved with no long-term, placebo-controlled trials. Follow-up periods range from just three days to six months, with most studies lacking a placebo group entirely. It’s evident that our regulatory agencies are compromised and are not prioritizing the public’s best interests:

Childhood hyper-vaccination is likely contributing to the skyrocketing autism rates:

The vast majority of Americans have clearly demonstrated their rejection of unnecessary and unsafe vaccines and likely won’t comply with the absurd ACIP schedule. A recent CDC report found that the vast majority of adults refuse COVID-19 genetic booster shots with no human data, as well as flu and RSV vaccines:

Its December 7, 1941...

 Thursday, December 7, 2023

Remember??? December 7, 1941??? Pearl Harbor??? You Know, The "Sneak Attack" That Officially Injected The U.S. Into World War II???

 But first, a little family history here... My now-deceased brother was born on Columbus Day, 1942, right smack in the middle of WW2, I, on the other hand, was born 1 year and 11 months after the end of WW2: July 12, 1947.

My dear brother (veteran) enlisted in the U.S. Navy back in 1960 and served on the aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Constellation, and was involved in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crises which brought the world very, very close to a nuclear Armageddon...

I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force on July 9, 1965, and was trained as an Air Force cop, later to be known as a Security Policeman, and went to Vietnam on December 16, 1967, I returned home (a changed man) on December 16, 1968...

My now-deceased father was exempted from the military for some specific skill he had that contributed to the (WW2) war effort...

My now-deceased mother also contributed to the war effort by maintaining the home front as a loyal American -- and praying!

(I know she did a great deal of praying for my brother back in '62, and perhaps even more for me when I went to Southeast Asia back in '67!) 

My dear, now-deceased uncle Vincent served in WW2 (in my uncle's honor, my brother's middle name was Vincent!).

I want to relay something at this point, something that occurred less than a year ago regarding my Uncle...

First, my Uncle was a Catholic.  I'm not sure how much he practiced his faith, but what I do know is that he appeared to me in a dream... What I clearly remember is that we shook hands -- as one veteran to another.  I took that to mean that he wanted me to pray for him, as if he needed help -- to get out of Purgatory, perhaps?  

Up to that point, I had always included him, and my other deceased relatives, in our daily Rosary, by name!

So, after that dream, I had a Mass offered for him...

I hope that helped him enter the Heavenly Beatitude!  And maybe, just maybe, I'll find out one day?  

I realize this has been a long "intro" to "December 7, 1941," but I wanted to give a little personal background about our military service to our country, for better or worse.

                                                    ******

Didn't Our Lady of Fatima warn that there would be another "great" war (WW 2) in which many good men would die, if mankind didn't convert, turn to Her Son and bend our knee in humility at the very mention of His name??  For no one comes to the Father except by Him!  As there is no other Name under heaven by which we are saved! 

As we know, wars and rumors of war are a result of grievous sins committed against God.  The unfortunate result is that it is always -- always! -- the civilian non-combatants who suffer, with lives and homes destroyed, sometimes in the most heinous of ways.  E.g., the fire-bombing of some German cities that caused a horrendous, hellish conflagration that snuffed out the lives of countless men, women and children...

As for the "sneak attack" on Pearl Harbor on that infamous Sunday morning -- yes, it was on Sunday morning when many were attending Mass, church, etc., only to realize that they were being plunged into hell on earth, but was it really a "sneak attack"?  Or was there advanced knowledge of the Japanese heading toward the Hawaiian Islands?   And was that knowledge purposely ignored -- or covered up?  And if so, wasn't that a treasonous act resulting in the slaughter of close to 3,000 American military and civilians alike?

Wasn't it eerily similar to the future "sneak attack" on September 11, 2001, by a bunch of Arabs with box cutters taking over several airliners and flying them into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, defeating our intelligence agencies and NORAD?

Conspiracy theories abound, but we see the results of those "conspiracy theories" and the loss of life, treasure and, most importantly, our freedoms and liberties granted to us by our good God -- not by the government!

The question is, when will we ever learn that we all have to change our ways, repent and treat our neighbors as we want them to treat us???

If only we would fulfill the two great Commandments: to love God and our neighbor, all the other Commandments, the law and the Prophets would be fulfilled and there would be -- dare I say it? -- a real peace on earth...

We are now in the Season of Advent... Let's get ready to welcome the Prince of Peace and Love into our hearts -- and the world!  

I'll now get off my soapbox...

Pray for strength and honor!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...

St. Joseph pray for us!!
