Right Under The Nose Of The Democrat Governor, Laura Kelly: Catholics To Protest Satanic ‘Black Mass’ Outside Kansas State Capitol

 I have written and said many times that the Democratic Party is the party of the culture of death!  

What follows is just another horrible example of that...

Note: this has made the secular news as well, but I will post an article from lifesitenews.com and written by Doug Mainwaring

Catholics to protest satanic ‘black mass’ outside Kansas state capitol - LifeSite

Now why would Gov. Kelly allow such a blasphemous demonstration of hate of Christ and His holy Church to take place on the grounds of the state capitol -- or at all, for that matter?

What this shows me, is that Kelly lacks God-given common horse sense, by continuing to push that very same culture of death.

There's something else too; would she allow Mohammad to be mocked?  Or how about a Jewish ceremony or synagogue?  

The answer: of course not!  Then why allow the Catholic Church to be attacked and mocked?  

Because we -- Catholics -- are, and always have been, easy targets by the anti-Christs of this fallen world.

(Another proof that the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ!?)

By the way, St. Patrick's in Wichita, was vandalized over the weekend and President Trump says he will look into ‘terrible’ satanic attack on a Catholic Church in Kansas.

"Tradition, Family, and Property is calling on Catholics to join a Rosary rally on the south side of the Kansas capitol in reparation for an anti-Catholic, satanic ‘black mass’ event planned for March 28."

"TOPEKA, Kansas (LifeSiteNews) — Catholic groups are urging their fellow Catholics to travel to the Kansas state capitol to prayerfully protest a “black mass” planned by a Kansas-based satanic group, the Satanic Grotto (SG), which also intends to dedicate the state legislature to Satan.  

“God is under attack after government officials granted approval for a Satanic Black Mass at the Kansas State Capitol Building on March 28. The public sacrilege will reportedly include the hateful desecration of a Consecrated Host, prompting outrage and plans for an on-site protest,” explains a notice from the conservative Catholic organization American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP), which is sponsoring a Rosary rally nearby as the blasphemous event takes place.  

CatholicVote has also asked its followers to show up on the 28th to protest in order to “stop Eucharistic desecration.” 

“The only purpose of a Black Mass is to attack God, mock the Catholic Mass, and desecrate the Holy Eucharist,” said John Horvat II, vice president of the American TFP. “Satanists typically desecrate a stolen consecrated Host in unspeakable ways. Nothing is more obscene, indecent, and hateful.” One satanic group admitted in 2019 to defiling the Eucharist during a “black mass.”

Desecration of the Eucharist is made significantly easier due to widespread reception of the Blessed Sacrament in the hand in the modern-day Catholic Church.  

SG has explicitly declared their intent to commit blasphemy during their “black mass” event: “We will be performing rites to the Black Mass and indulging in sacrilegious blaspheme (sic),” the group wrote on a Facebook event page. 

Rosary rally March 28, starting at 10:15 am  

TFP and its America Needs Fatima campaign are inviting Catholics to attend a Rosary rally of reparation on the south side of the Kansas state capitol on March 28, starting at 10:15 am.  

“The purpose of the peaceful protest is simple: to express above all else our love for God and His Blessed Mother and defend the Holy Mass,” said Mr. Horvat. “America is one nation under God, and we will fight to keep it that way. The victorious Saint Michael the Archangel already defeated the powers of darkness. He can defeat Satan again at the Kansas Statehouse.” 

Last week, Kansas’ Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly issued a statement saying that, for safety and access reasons, she ordered that the satanic event take place on the grounds outside the capitol rather than inside the building.   

Kelly’s decision came after more than 30,000 people signed a TFP petition addressed to her urging her to cancel the event. That petition has now garnered a total of 40,000 signatures.  

In response, SG said that it would defy the law and hold its rituals inside the state capitol rotunda. 

“We will be showing up on the 28th,” said Michael Stewart, founder and president of the Satanic Grotto, which organized the event. “We will be entering the building and attempting to perform the mass [sic], and if Capitol Police want to stop us, they will need to arrest us.” 

The satanic group, which claims about three dozen members primarily from Kansas City and Wichita, describes itself as an independent and nondenominational “church” whose members are feminist and pro-LBGTQ+ and purport to be anti-racist.

“The [so-called] black mass is a satanic version of the Catholic [M]ass,” Stewart said.

‘Satanism is not a religion, but its antithesis’ 

“Total cancellation is the only reasonable option,” said TFP’s Horvat. “Public officials are elected to foster the common good of society. Satanism, by definition, is evil and, therefore, harmful to the common good. That’s why the Kansas State Capitol Building and its grounds should not be misused as a platform for evil to defile what is sacred or mock what is most holy.”  

“Freedom of speech is not absolute. It has limits. Engaging in slander and libel, for example, can be punishable in court,” said John Ritchie, director of TFP Student Action. “Since every person has a right to his or her good name, it makes sense that the sacred Person of Our Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, would also be granted the respect and honor His holy Name deserves.”  

“If we don’t honor our Creator or follow a higher law the foundation of order in society will continue to crumble,” said Ritchie. “Without God, peace is not sustainable.” 

“Satanism is not a religion, but its antithesis. The purpose of religion is to love, imitate, and obey God, the source of all goodness and wisdom,” said Ritchie. “It’s not only a contradiction but also absurd to claim that Satanism can be considered a religion. Such a ‘religion’ would promote hatred, not love, lies, not truth, and murder, not life.” 

Kansas Archbishop Naumann will reconsecrate Kansas to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary  

Kansas City, Kansas, Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, along with the entire Kansas Catholic Conference, has asked the faithful to respond “with prayers for the spiritual conversion of those taking part in this act of anti-Christian bigotry.” 

They explained:  

Satanic worship is disturbing, spiritually harmful, and an affront to every Christian. Participants may claim that the destructive and offensive acts during a “black mass” are part of their religious freedom or free speech rights under the First Amendment. However, these rights have limits and do not allow individuals to act in ways that include or incite lawless behavior. 

We are deeply disappointed that such blasphemous acts that are intended to mock Catholic worship, the beliefs of all Christians, and those who believe in the one true God, are being allowed on the Kansas Statehouse grounds. We call upon Governor Kelly and the State Legislature to disallow this act of blasphemy to take place, which is clearly designed to mock Christianity and be provocative. 

We must not allow ourselves to be provoked to anger or violence, as that would be cooperation with the devil. Instead, we should approach this situation with all confidence in God’s ultimate victory over Satan, sin and death. “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18). 

Legal options are being explored, according to a statement issued by the bishops on Friday.   

Archbishop Naumann, former chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, has announced further steps to push back against the evil planned for March 28.  

“On March 25, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, I will celebrate a Mass for Expectant Parents at Holy Spirit Church in Overland Park at 5:30 p.m., during which I will reconsecrate Kansas to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,” said Naumann.  

Naumann also plans a “Eucharistic holy hour” at Assumption Church in Topeka, directly north of the statehouse, beginning at 11 a.m. on March 28, followed by Mass. "

Bishop Strickland's Bombshell Comments On The Silence Of The Bishops In The Face Of Error, Heresy, Scandal And Doctrinal Confusion!

 Just one more reason why (the good -- and real!) -- Bishop Strickland was removed as Bishop of Tyler, Texas, and "silenced"...

Here are his latest comments from an article on lifesitenews.com and written by the bishop himself: Bishop Strickland addresses concerns about his conclave statements - LifeSite

"The idea that a papacy – or any Church leadership – would demand silence of those who seek to defend the perennial truths of the faith is troubling, especially when doctrinal or moral issues are at stake. When a crisis is present, silence is not neutrality – it often enables the very errors that threaten the faith. When bishops are afraid to defend doctrine, as has occurred in this papacy, truth is no longer safeguarded. Historically, the Church has always debated theological issues – sometimes fiercely – but this papacy seems to demand silence and submission without discussion which contradicts the Church’s tradition of reasoned discourse."

Sun Mar 16, 2025 - 5:29 am EDT

"(Bishop Strickland) — The points that John Paul Meenan has made in Catholic Insight in the article “Caveat LifeSite: Incipient Schisms,” are definitely worthy of consideration as, although bishops or theologians may have opinions about a Pope’s legitimacy, it is true that it is not their role to determine it definitively. The Church as a whole – especially the College of Cardinals and the bishops in communion with the Pope – would be the proper authority to judge such matters. However, by my endorsement of the mentioned article and the statements I have made, I am simply echoing traditional Catholic teaching that a heretic cannot be a valid pope, a position that has been discussed by theologians for centuries. Rather than being schismatic, I am in actuality defending the faith and fulfilling my duty as a successor of the apostles.

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, “It must be observed, however, that if the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly” (Summa Theologica, II-II, q. 33, a. 4, ad 2). Similarly, St. Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church, taught that “a manifest heretic is automatically deposed from all ecclesiastical offices, including that of the papacy.” These are not new ideas but part of the Church’s theological tradition.

In view of the grave crisis in the Church in which we now find ourselves, I would ask Mr. Meenan at what point he thinks the bishops SHOULD speak out – after we find ourselves in the situation of which Archbishop Fulton Sheen spoke when he said that a counter-church would be set up “which will be the ape of the Church” with “all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content”?

Silence in the face of grave error is a sin. Pope St. Felix III said, “Not to oppose error is to approve it, and not to defend truth is to suppress it.” And St. Catherine of Siena, a Doctor of the Church, famously exhorted Pope Gregory XI to be courageous: “Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues! I see that the world is rotten because of silence.”

Due to the nature of today’s crisis, bishops have a grave duty to warn the faithful. Many Catholics are confused, scandalized, and led astray. A bishop who speaks out, even at personal risk, is not being schismatic – but rather he is doing what countless saints and Church Fathers did before him. The real danger is in bishops who remain silent while souls are lost.

For years now, most bishops and cardinals have been completely silent as the Deposit of Faith has been attacked over and over, and in many cases, totally pushed aside. This papacy has made it clear that silence is required, and that no questions are allowed, and in fact if they are asked, none will be answered – at least not definitively.

For an example of this, I point to the responses of Pope Francis to the two sets of dubia he received from cardinals. The first dubium, in 2016, regarding Amoris Laetitia asked whether Amoris Laetitia allowed Holy Communion for divorced and remarried Catholics without annulments. Pope Francis did not give any direct response to this dubium, although his silence was seen by some as an implicit answer. The second dubium in 2023 was regarding doctrinal clarity on several topics including the possibility of blessing same-sex unions, whether divine revelation can change over time, and whether synodality can alter Church doctrine. Pope Francis responded, but not in the traditional “yes” or “no” format – but rather in an open-ended way which seemed to avoid clear doctrinal affirmations. And this has indeed become the norm in this papacy.

It seems that silence is not only the response of this papacy but also the response demanded of every priest, bishop, and cardinal who would seek to clearly and charitably defend the Deposit of Faith when ambiguities are brought forth from Rome. If this admonition to be silent is not heeded, in fact, then my own removal as Bishop of Tyler is a good example of what will happen – often with no reason given. But we must acknowledge that truth cannot change, and the Deposit of Faith is Truth. An attack on the Deposit of Faith is an attack on Christ Himself – He who is Truth Incarnate. And so the Deposit of Faith must be defended at all costs, regardless of where – or from whom – the attacks originate. “Then Jesus said to his disciples: ‘If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.’” (Matthew 16:24-25).

It seems we are now in a time in which silence is demanded, and it is indeed silence that is threatening the Church. Throughout history saints, theologians, and even Church documents have warned against false prudence – remaining silent when truth must be defended.

The idea that a papacy – or any Church leadership – would demand silence of those who seek to defend the perennial truths of the faith is troubling, especially when doctrinal or moral issues are at stake. When a crisis is present, silence is not neutrality – it often enables the very errors that threaten the faith. When bishops are afraid to defend doctrine, as has occurred in this papacy, truth is no longer safeguarded. Historically, the Church has always debated theological issues – sometimes fiercely – but this papacy seems to demand silence and submission without discussion which contradicts the Church’s tradition of reasoned discourse.

St. Paul confronted St. Peter when Peter’s actions caused confusion (cf. Galatians 2:11-14). And Canon Law states that the faithful, including bishops, “have the right and even at times the duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church.” (Can. 212.3).

Therefore, if a bishop believes the Church is facing a grave crisis – such as the possibility of a heretical pope or a manipulated conclave – then remaining silent, I believe, is negligent rather than obedient. In fact, I would argue that silence has led to:

• The spread of doctrinal ambiguity on issues like the Eucharist, marriage, and human sexuality.
• The rise of liturgical laxity among clergy and laity.
• A weakening of Catholic identity, as some teachings are de-emphasized in the name of ecumenism or synodality.

While bishops should normally work within the hierarchical structure, there are times when public warning is necessary.

The concern about an invalid election is a theological discussion that has been debated for centuries. While the Church recognizes that a pope must be a Catholic and not a heretic, I agree that the process for dealing with such a situation is not left to private judgement. However, I feel it is important to recognize that we are now in a time of unparalleled danger in the Church and, therefore, a warning is needed.

In endorsing an article about the next conclave, and in setting forth the argument that if a heretical candidate is elected, then the election could be invalid, I was stating we could be facing an emergency situation in the Church, and I was making a public statement about what I believe could potentially happen in this situation. In response to Mr. Meenan’s concerns, I would state that my statements do not have a direct canonical consequence as I have not formally refused to recognize a pope chosen in a future conclave, and that questioning a pope’s legitimacy is different from refusing submission to a validly elected pope. The Church has always recognized that we must have the freedom to openly discuss matters – even difficult ones – if we are to come to a deeper and more thorough understanding of theological and doctrinal issues (e.g., Ecumenical Councils, writings of saints, etc.).

I have felt it important to make these comments because I feel a moral obligation to raise concerns prior to the next conclave so that the cardinals might consider these issues and address them with the seriousness and gravity due to such important matters. My intention was and is not to declare myself the final judge of a future pope’s legitimacy, but rather to ensure:

• The cardinals are reminded of their grave responsibility – A conclave is not just a political process, but a sacred duty to elect a pope who will faithfully guard and transmit the Catholic faith. By speaking out, I hoped to prompt reflection among the cardinals about their duty to elect someone who is truly Catholic in belief and in practice.
• A warning against possible problems in the election – Since there are valid concerns about heretical candidates and/or pressures from external influences, I felt it was necessary to call attention to this issue before any election happens. Some historical examples show that disputed papal elections have occurred throughout history, and the Church has had to deal with challenges to legitimacy before (e.g. the Western Schism).
• To address what I fear will be confusion among the faithful – If a pope were elected under questionable circumstances, it could cause great division and scandal within the Church. By raising concerns now, I hope that if something questionable does happen, the Church will be better prepared to address it, rather than reacting in a state of crisis.
• Not an act of schism, but a call for discernment – I am not acting in defiance of the Pope nor do I reject papal authority; I am merely issuing a warning. I am not claiming personal authority to declare a pope invalid and, therefore, I am not stepping outside Church teaching but rather expressing a theological concern.By stating that if the next conclave were to elect a pope who was a heretic or not truly Catholic, he would not be a valid pope, I have put forth an argument that is rooted in longstanding Catholic teaching that a manifest heretic cannot hold ecclesiastical office, including the papacy – a position affirmed by theologians and saints such as St. Robert Bellarmine. I felt, and continue to feel, I must speak out as so many of my fellow bishops today remain silent in the face of doctrinal confusion and moral corruption within the Church. Silence allows error to spread unchecked, harming the faithful. Saints like St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Catherine of Siena, and Pope St. Felix III have warned that failing to oppose error is equivalent to approving it. By speaking up, I am fulfilling my duty as a shepherd to defend the truth, protect souls, and call the Church to a deeper fidelity in Christ – something that is desperately needed in our time.

I had hoped, by my statements, to appeal to the duty of all the bishops and cardinals, as successors of the Apostles, and to remind them that silence in the face of grave error is a betrayal of their office and a danger to souls. Therefore, I would like to once again make a plea to them:

Your Excellencies, where are your voices? The Church is in crisis! Souls are being led astray by doctrinal confusion, moral corruption, and open disregard for Sacred Tradition. As successors of the apostles, you have been given the sacred duty to guard the Deposit of Faith and shepherd the faithful. But too many of you remain silent while wolves ravage the flock.

I would like to remind you of the words of Pope St. Felix III: “Not to oppose error is to approve it. Not to defend truth is to suppress it.” The faithful are looking to you for clarity, for courage, and for the voice of the Good Shepherd. Will you speak up, or will you remain silent as the Church suffers?

Your silence will not be forgotten – but neither will your courage, should you choose to stand for Christ and His truth. Do not fear the loss of human approval, for we will one day stand before the judgment seat of God. Choose now whom you will serve.

Cardinals Without Faith: Who Will Choose The Next Pope?

 From infovaticana.com comes this bombshell question: Cardinals without faith: who will choose the next pope?

by Jaime Gurpegui | 10 March, 2025

"The next conclave is approaching and with it the fundamental question: who will elect the next pope? It is a question that goes beyond personal profiles or pastoral affinities. It is something more radical: are all the cardinals who will vote in the conclave really Catholics?

It seems like an absurd, even offensive question. But it is not. Judging by the literality of some recent statements by members of the College of Cardinals, there are serious doubts as to whether all of them believe in the fullness of the Catholic faith as delivered by Christ and taught by the Magisterium of the Church. Should those who do not adhere to this faith be able to vote?

The problem is not minor. The Church is at a critical point, divided between those who see in Francis' pontificate an opportunity to reformulate Catholicism in a more "inclusive" (or, to put it without euphemisms, more diluted) key and those who insist on doctrinal clarity, juridical rigor and the defense of Tradition, without this being an obstacle to the pastoral thrust and social commitment of the laity.

But the question is not only one of focus or priorities. It is of faith. The Church is not a merely human organization where power is transferred through political balances. Its foundation is divine. The authority of the pope, which the conclave must discern, is not just another office within an ecclesiastical structure, but a mandate from Christ himself. And if those who elect Peter do not believe in that reality, what is the point of the whole process?

Before entering the conclave, they should clarify their positions

The faithful have the right to know what the cardinals who will participate in the election of the successor of Peter really believe. Before the doors of the Sistine Chapel close, they should publicly answer essential questions:

Do you believe in the Resurrection of Christ as a real fact and not as a mere symbol? Do you believe that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ, and not just a "community experience"? Do they accept Catholic morality in its entirety or do they consider certain teachings to be "obsolete"? Do you hold that the priesthood is exclusively and ontologically male, as the Church has infallibly defined? Do you consider the Church to be the only true depository of Revelation, or do you believe that all religions are equally valid paths to God?

It is not a question of inquisitorial interrogations or puritanism. It is that the Church cannot afford cardinals who, in practice, have ceased to be Catholics. He cannot accept that those who deny the core of the faith determine who will be the next Vicar of Christ on Earth.

A Burden That the People of God Must Not Bear

The scandal of a corrupt cardinal or one with a dissipated life, although painful, is less serious than that of a cardinal who does not believe. Corruption can be denounced and corrected; Lack of faith in those who must confirm their brothers in the faith is a cancer. The Church has already endured too many years of ambiguity, half-truths and complicit silences. If those who do not really believe in the fullness of the Catholic faith are going to vote in the next conclave, the Church has the right to know.

The People of God has been burdened with many things in recent decades: doctrinal crises, abuses of power, financial scandals, media persecutions. It cannot also carry the mortgage of a conclave decided by those who do not believe in what they are electing.

Let them say so before entering the Sistine Chapel. Let them define themselves. Because if they don't do it now, it will be too late when the white smoke has already come out."

Planned Parenthood Kills 18-Year-Old Girl In Botched Abortion!!

 Another life snuffed out -- no, make those two lives snuffed out! -- by the diabolical maniacs of "planned parenthood"!!

Remember, those practitioners of the ongoing crimes against humanity, get enormous amounts of our taxpayer dollars each and every year! 

Furthermore, the apostate, traitor, Biden, pushed for more and more federal tax dollars to line the pockets of the premier baby killer organization in the U.S. of A.  But "pp" is only one of many such abortion mills that perform the heinous procedure that tears apart or chemically dissolves the tiny baby growing in the womb of her mother. 

Thank goodness with President Trump now in office, there are efforts to completely defund "planned parenthood" that will help stop the killing of the most vulnerable of our species, in addition to other pro-life initiatives underway by the administration.

Here is the tragic story of an 18-year-old woman who died in a botched abortion... The story comes from lifenews.com and written by Sarah Neely  |   Mar 13, 2025:Planned Parenthood Kills 18-Year-Old Girl in Botched Abortion - LifeNews.com

The circumstances of this horrific event are so horrendous that other secular media have posted the story and the sad repercussions, not only of the poor soul who died, but also chronicling the effect on the remaining family members.

These tragedies must stop!

 

Operation Rescue has launched a full investigation into the death of Alexis “Lexi” Arguello, an 18-year-old Colorado girl who died from abortion complications on February 6, after delayed emergency transport from the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood.

“Our team has been gathering information on this death for weeks, slowly piecing together exactly what happened,” said Sarah Neely, Chief Operating Officer of Operation Rescue. “On March 12, however, testimony during a hearing with the Colorado Committee of Health and Human Services confirmed everything we have been investigating, including Planned Parenthood’s suspected failings.”

On the morning of February 6, Lexi Arguello arrived at Fort Collins Planned Parenthood for a second trimester abortion. Initial reports suspected she was 20 weeks along in her pregnancy, but testimony from Dr. Keri Kasun in the HHS hearing confirmed she was actually 22 weeks, according to family members.

“This young woman was nearly six months along in her pregnancy,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue.” The later in pregnancy a woman has an abortion, the higher the risk of complications. Did anyone tell Lexi about that risk before she chose to undergo a procedure that ultimately cost her life, along with the life of her child?”

During the hearing, Dr. Kasun related how one of Lexi’s family members connected her to Lexi’s grandparents after the devastating loss of their grandchild and great grandchild.

“Lexi’s grandparents were called to the hospital on February 6,” she states. “This is the first time they learned of Lexi’s pregnancy. The grandfather shared with me the hospital experience. He could see the heroic efforts the doctors were doing to save her life, and he could see the deep concern in their faces that the situation was very dire. Her vitals were all over the place, the oxygen levels were horrible. After multiple doses of epi and seven liters of blood, his granddaughter’s blood pressure dropped—her heart rate and blood pressure dropped—and he seen in his granddaughter’s face that it was her end.”

Kasun reported that Lexi experienced an amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), a life-threatening complication with a high death rate, especially in second and third trimester abortions. Amniotic fluid enters the mother’s bloodstream, which can lead to an array of serious and sudden reactions, including cardiac arrest and widespread bleeding.

A case study of AFE published in 2022 states “suspicion of AFE should prompt a multidisciplinary team including anaesthesia, respiratory therapy, critical care, and maternal-foetal medicine to be involved in the ongoing care of women with AFE.”

“Abortion clinics are not equipped for critical care,” said Neely. “We request dozens and dozens of 911 calls every year proving this fact. Planned Parenthood Fort Collins not only had zero ability to address this life-threatening complication, but testimony from Dr. Kasun shows they made Lexi’s situation even worse, callously trying to protect their clinic over saving this girl’s life.”

In the second half of Dr. Kasun’s testimony, she drops the bombshell revelation:

“So, Lexi’s grandfather was told by the abortion providers, um, that Lexi was transferred too late. Um, she didn’t receive the urgency of care that would be required in order to have a chance to survive this condition. Um, instead, she got the silent siren treatment.”

According to Lexi’s grandparents, Planned Parenthood admitted to waiting far too long to call an ambulance. When they finally did call, they apparently requested no sirens. This is a well-known tactic among abortion clinics. Instead of prioritizing patients whose lives are hanging in the balance, abortion clinics would rather delay critical care by trying to downplay the necessity of emergency transport with no lights or sirens.

Furthermore, local sidewalk counselors also report that emergency vehicles arriving at this Planned Parenthood are always directed to go through the neighboring properties, hidden and out of sight, usually with no sirens, as opposed to using the more accessible main entrance.

“Planned Parenthood does not care about women,” said Newman. “This Planned Parenthood did not care if Lexi Arguello survived her complications. If they had, staff would have called an ambulance the minute she exhibited symptoms, and they would have requested lights, sirens, and any other measures that might have saved Lexi’s life.”

The March 11 hearing concerned HB25-1252, a bill that would have established the same kind of regulations and reporting for Colorado abortion clinics to which all other ambulatory centers in the state are already held.

The Public Affairs Manager for Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, the affiliate that oversees Fort Collins, placidly argued that Planned Parenthood did not need any regulation. She referred to Planned Parenthood as a “beacon of hope” and vowed that they “will always defend their patients.”

“February 6 was probably one of the darkest days of Lexi’s grandparents’ life, not to mention her parents and other loved ones,” said Newman. “Where was Planned Parenthood’s so-called beacon that day? Where was this supposed promise to defend their patients? Lexi and her child died a horrific death, made even worse by the callousness we see exhibited over and over again by abortion workers standing around a dying woman, refusing to call an ambulance because it might draw too much attention. That’s not healthcare for that patient. It’s hell.”

Neely adds, “This is an ongoing investigation, and Operation Rescue will not stop until every legal avenue has been pursued. We are still obtaining records and conducting interviews. We have reached out to at least one family member, offering our condolences and offering to put them in contact with an attorney. That is a standing offer. Complaints will also be forthcoming. Planned Parenthood must be held accountable for this complete failure in patient care.”'

Homeschoolers In Illinois Are Targeted As "Extremists," "Fundamentalists," "Haters" Of The Sexually Confused LGBTQ Crowd -- Can It Happen Elsewhere??

 Remember the corrupt the FBI -- under the DOJ -- sent out a memo classifying parents at school board meetings, and traditional Catholics who attend the TLM, as potential breeding grounds for homegrown terrorists? 

Well, the state of Illinois is mimicking those lunatics by sponsoring a bill to bring homeschoolers under state scrutiny.  If that bill passes, then I'm sure that the radical, leftist governor, Pritzker, will happily sign it! 

The following article from lifesitenews.com and written by Matt Lamb will highlight just how far and wide-ranging such scrutiny would go!

Illinois bill could allow officials to interrogate homeschool parents about what they're teaching - LifeSite

Wed Mar 12, 2025 - 4:11 pm EDT

The question is, if such a bill becomes law, would other "deep blue" states copy this diabolical intrusion into parental rights?

"(LifeSiteNews) — Illinois homeschool advocates and supporters of private education are warning about a bill in the Illinois House that could involve the invasion of personal privacy and lead to government intrusion into the rights of parents to educate their children.

It is based on model legislation supported by a Massachusetts-based group that also warns about “parental rights extremism” and “Christian fundamentalists.”

Illinois House Bill 2827 would “would create new requirements for homeschooling families to report their educational activities to authorities,” according to the Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HLSDA).

The group, along with Illinois Christian Home Educators, recently had more than 2,000 people come out to the state capitol to rally in support of educational freedom. More than 20,000 people have also filled out witness slips against the pending bill and only around 500 have voiced support.

The legislation is being pushed by Democratic Rep. Terra Costa-Howard under the guise of protecting kids in homeschool from abuse and ensuring they are aware of opportunities for medical care and activities through their local school district.

Her office did not respond to an email in the past several days that asked for comment on concerns about the bill.

The bill could give “state education officials (the power to) … require homeschooling families to follow public school health and immunization regulations and produce records to prove their compliance,” according to the HLSDA.

Local education officials could also summon parents into their office and demand a review of their curriculum.

According to the HLSDA:

The bill would permit local public school officials to demand to review samples of work by homeschooled students at any time and for any reason. This could entail parents and children being called into the school superintendent’s office for in-person interviews. Portfolios would be assessed for evidence that the children’s homeschool program “is at least commensurate with the standards prescribed for public schools.”

It is based off model legislation from the Coalition for Responsible Home Education, a Massachusetts based group that is led by former homeschoolers.

The group nearly quadrupled its budget in the past year, with a budget of less than $60,000, according to its 2023 tax filing. This latest year, it raised more than $217,000, thanks to a two-year, $60,000 grant from the left-wing Ben and Jerry’s Foundation.

Board chair Carmen Longoria-Green is a former counsel to the left-wing Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Half of the group’s six employees use transgender “they” pronouns, according to a LifeSiteNews review of public biographies.

The group declined to comment on concerns about the bill. LifeSiteNews also asked about a quote from a talking points memo that claimed: “Christian fundamentalists in the United States have worked to enact their regressive ideas about gender and race by using homeschooling to isolate and abuse their own children.”

Another part of the guide argues, “the parental-rights movement exists to uphold the supremacy of white, fundamentalist Christianity. It doesn’t respect the values of any other religion or culture, and it actively harms children and destroys the ability of families of other backgrounds to live freely.”

The group deferred to its news release. The group said the immunizations mandate would maintain exemptions.

The coalition says in its “Parental-Rights Extremism Messaging Guide” that there is an “increasingly hostile climate in the United States for children with marginalized identities.”

“Attacks on LGBTQ+ children, young people, and the spaces and resources designed to serve their needs have accelerated in the 2020s,” the group claims.

“Library book bans, policies barring transgender children from participating in youth sports, and policies preventing the discussion of LGBTQ+ topics in the classroom are just a few examples of the regressive tactics that have gripped the headlines and rattled communities across the country,” the left-wing group says.

As the group explains, “parental rights extremism” has existed “for decades” among homeschoolers.

This “extremism” is why the group is pushing for regulation of homeschooling. “We must,” the group declares, “refuse to let parental-rights extremists have the last word.”

Catholic conference, homeschool association say law would infringe on parental rights

The Illinois Catholic Conference, however, points out the bill intrudes on the rights of parents. It opposes the bill because it would also force Catholic schools to turn over personal information to the local public schools, including “gender identity.”

Such a mandate “not only violates a basic trust between the school and the family but also codifies an overreaching State policy that creates an intrusive relationship between the State and private institutions,” the group wrote in its call to action.

“The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children,” the group wrote further in opposition to homeschooling regulation.

These concerns were echoed by Kirk Smith, a former pastor who now serves as executive director of Illinois Christian Home Educators. He anticipates thousands of homeschool advocates will be at the state capitol in Springfield next week for a hearing.

Smith told LifeSiteNews on a phone interview that he used to preach against homeschooling when he was a young schoolteacher. However, he and his wife ended up homeschooling all 11 of their kids. All of his kids are successful and hold a range of jobs, including as chemical engineers and as veterinarian technicians. Some are married and at home with kids as well.

He criticized the bill and its supporters for claiming it will help with the abuse of children.

“We need to deal with the 470 kids from the Chicago Public Schools who were sexually assaulted by teachers and different staff in 2022,” Smith told LifeSiteNews, referencing an inspector general report.

He said “no education model” can completely eliminate abuse; however, he referenced a study that found homeschool students are not likely to be abused. In fact, a 2015 study by Coalition for Responsible Home Education reached the same conclusion.

Homeschooling has been unfairly maligned because of public school parents who were accused of abuse and then removed their kids from the school. “They were not really homeschooling parents,” Smith said.

Smith said that all parents should be concerned about the bill. The forced registration of homeschooling students is “saying we have to get the state’s permission to homeschool our kids.

“That makes them the state’s kids,” which goes against “natural law,” Smith said.

“We have to ask: Whose kids are they really?”'

BREAKING NEWS: Catholic Charities Reported To DOJ For Alleged Trafficking Of Illegals Under RICO Law.

 This is bad news, but not surprising.

I will let the article speak for itself...

The following article is from gatewayhispanic.com and written by  Joana Campos  BREAKING NEWS: Catholic Charities Reported to DOJ for Alleged Trafficking of Illegals Under RICO Law. - Gateway Hispanic

"A formal complaint has been filed with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) against Catholic Charities, accusing the organization of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) through alleged involvement in facilitating illegal immigration.

The complaint, first brought to public attention by journalist Jack Posobiec via a post on X, claims that Catholic Charities, a prominent Catholic nonprofit and recipient of substantial federal funding, has engaged in activities that amount to trafficking undocumented immigrants across US borders.

The filing invokes RICO, a statute traditionally used to combat organized crime, alleging a pattern of racketeering activity tied to the organization's immigration-related operations.

The complaint specifically accuses Catholic Charities of receiving “billions of dollars” in government grants to resettle immigrants and refugees, funds that critics say have been misused to support illegal immigration rather than lawful humanitarian efforts.

It asserts that the organization has knowingly facilitated the transportation and resettlement of undocumented individuals, potentially in violation of federal immigration laws. Critics cited in the complaint, including activists Rachel Masters Yakima and Dr. Janet Smith, have escalated the allegations by linking these activities to broader negligence, pointing to the claim of "300,000 missing children" as evidence of inadequate oversight and protection of vulnerable populations.

In separate letters addressed to JD Vince and President Trump, Yakima and Smith demanded a RICO investigation not only into Catholic Charities but also into the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, accusing the Church-affiliated group of prioritizing funding over accountability, with Smith and Yakima stating, "They just say, 'Trust us,'" in reference to the organization's assurances of compliance.

The allegations build on longstanding criticism from Republican legislators and conservative media outlets, who have accused Catholic Charities of encouraging illegal immigration by providing humanitarian aid—such as food, shelter, and transportation—to migrants at the southern border.

The complaint contains that these actions, funded by federal dollars, go beyond charity and actively enable undocumented individuals to enter and remain in the US illegally, constituting a breach of immigration statutes.

It further alleges that Catholic Charities' leadership has been aware of these violations but has continued the practices as part of a systemic operation, a key element required to substantiate a RICO charge.

As of now, the DOJ has not issued an official statement regarding the complaint, leaving uncertainty about whether it will launch a formal investigation or pursue charges under RICO.

The law requires evidence of a coordinated enterprise engaging in illegal acts over time, and the complaint's success may hinge on proving that Catholic Charities' immigration activities meet this threshold.

For its part, the organization has yet to publicly respond to the specifics of the filing, although it has historically defended its mission as one of aiding the vulnerable within legal bounds."
