Under Biden, The Rogue FBI Sent Anti-Catholic Memo To Over 1,000 Employees, New Records Show!!

 Not only were the former heads of the FBI and the so-called Department of Justice traitors to our country, but they also committed perjury when questioned by the Senate and Congressional committees investigating the surveillance and potential infiltration of traditional Catholic parishes!

From the washingtonexaminer.com and written by Kaelan Deese: FBI sent anti-Catholic memo to over 1,000 employees, new records show

"The FBI circulated an anti-Catholic intelligence memo to more than 1,000 employees nationwide during the Biden administration — a much broader internal reach than what former FBI Director Christopher Wray acknowledged in sworn congressional testimony, according to newly disclosed bureau records.

The documents, obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), reveal that the memo, initially described as an isolated product of the Richmond field office, was part of a broader effort involving multiple FBI divisions. Internal emails show the memo warning about "Radical Traditionalist Catholics" was shared widely within the bureau and received no internal pushback, only positive responses from other offices seeking to monitor Catholic groups flagged by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “hate groups.”

“This raises serious concerns that FBI field offices may have relied on the Richmond memo, and placed groups in their areas of responsibility under suspicion based on reporting from the deeply biased sources used in the memo,” Grassley wrote Monday in a letter to President Donald Trump's FBI Director Kash Patel, according to a copy obtained by the Washington Examiner.

The 2023 memo, which came through the bureau under former President Joe Biden's administration and the leadership of former Attorney General Merrick Garland, characterized certain Catholic communities as potential domestic terrorism threats, accusing them of harboring “anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ and white supremacist ideology.” Its release by a whistleblower on Feb. 8, 2023, prompted Wray to tell Congress the document had been disavowed and withdrawn.

But Grassley’s findings undermine that narrative. The records show the memo, known internally as the “Richmond Domain Perspective," was sent on Feb. 2 that year to more than 1,000 employees, including officials in Buffalo, Milwaukee, Portland, and Louisville. At least one office acknowledged that Catholic organizations cited in the memo fell under its jurisdiction.

The newly disclosed records also included a separate draft report for wider internal distribution called a Strategic Perspective Executive Analytic Report. That version, scrubbed of SPLC references, nonetheless repeated the memo’s central claim linking traditionalist Catholics to violent extremism. Grassley said this contradicts Wray’s March 2023 testimony, when he told senators the FBI had produced "a single product."

Perhaps most damaging, Grassley said the FBI later sought to delete records tied to the memo’s distribution. He accused former Deputy Director Paul Abbate of ordering the memo and related materials scrubbed from FBI systems the day it became public. According to internal emails, another official ordered the removal of an Excel file showing who had accessed the memo, potentially erasing key evidence of the memo’s reach.

FBI MEMO TARGETING CATHOLIC GROUP WENT BEYOND RICHMOND OFFICE, DOCUMENTS SHOW

In the letter, Grassley also demanded answers on the FBI’s internal efforts to erase records related to the memo’s production and distribution. He asked Patel to identify the official who ordered the removal of a document listing FBI users who accessed the memo, explain the rationale for deleting such files, and clarify whether the deletions were intended to obstruct Congress or internal investigators. He also pressed the FBI to determine if any deleted materials can be recovered. The FBI did not respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner.

“The reported permanent loss of records related to the production of the memo … shows once again that Director Wray’s previous testimony to Congress … was false,” Grassley wrote."

ONE Of The Problems With "Conservatives": Disturbing Glenn Greenwald Video...Sparks Parenting Concerns

 WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!!!

The following article from lifesitenews.com and written by Doug Mainwaring Mon Jun 2, 2025 - 9:11 pm EDT (Disturbing Glenn Greenwald video, defended by elite conservatives, sparks parenting concerns - LifeSite) contains material that should not be read by the young and impressionable.

Again, WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!!!

It is important, however, to show the true colors of what some folks would classify as "conservatives," but still push and support the debauched lifestyle that caused Heaven to rain down fire and brimstone on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

So, another question could be asked: what are the "conservatives," conserving?

If it were the Natural (moral) Law; traditions of love of God and of neighbor, that's one thing, but to embrace those poor souls who have strayed off the beaten path and who engage in the heinousness of homosexuality, pornography and bodily mutilation, simply because those held prisoner by the evil one espouse some "conservative" principles, e.g., First Amendment rights, makes no sense at all.

What should be done, I feel, is to admonish and help guide those Prodigal sons back to God and the natural complementarity of male and female, husband and wife.

It is that "simple"!

But as the article will point out, there are, in many cases, in such bizarre relationships, impressionable children who just might witness the un-natural things associated with male/male, female/female habitations/"marriages"...

In addition, as I have read over the years, the issue of abuse of those children is also a very real possibility!!

                                                ******

Here is that article...

(By the way, the author of this article, himself, escaped the homosexual prison and returned to Christ and is now happily married with children!  It can be done!)

"(LifeSiteNews) — A disturbing video surfaced this past weekend showing Glenn Greenwald, a reporter often aligned with conservative causes, engaged in degrading homosexual behavior while smoking meth. Despite the video’s content, prominent conservatives quickly rushed to praise Greenwald instead of condemning his actions. 

The most troubling aspect of the video, however, is that Greenwald – who along with his now-deceased, far younger “husband” who married the much older Greenwald when he was just 19 years old – adopted two young boys whom he continues to parent.  

Greenwald also reportedly ran a gay porn company and escort service in Brazil, where he has resided for many years.   

Regarding the video, X account “Mostly Peaceful Memes” posted a picture of Greenwald, his children, and now deceased “husband” and urged: “Think of the context. One of the most horrifying photos in history.”

Among the high-profile conservative influencers who inexplicably seem to have chosen to turn a blind eye to the repulsive content of the video – especially the fact that it features a gay man who is currently parenting adopted boys – were Dinesh D’Souza, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and James O’Keefe. 

“I can’t believe how many ‘conservative’ influencers saw a wide-open window to how sick this guy is. They said, ‘It’s ok, bro, it’s your business, bro,’” X user Wolf Brother noted.

“Pathetic,” he declared.  

Chris Elston, aka “Billboard Chris,” began a series of posts on X: 

I have questions, Glenn Greenwald. Were your kids in the other room? Do you smoke meth in the house with them present? 

Do you worry about the psychological effects on them when they learn that their adoptive father pays $2000 to lick another man’s feet, and to lick his spit off the floor in a humiliation ritual while wearing women’s clothing? 

How young were the gay males you pimped out in your previous career? Has child protective services paid you a visit?

“I haven’t seen one big name conservative mention concern for this degenerate’s kids,” Elston noted. 

“Their narrative is more important to them,” he suggested.  

Elston, as did others, pointed out that Child Protective Services (CPS) needs to investigate to determine the safety of Greenwald’s kids.

“(Greenwald) said he’s proud of his personal life. How can anyone defend this? There are … children in that home. Does anyone really think that a home with hard drug use and male prostitution is an appropriate or safe place for children?” Matt Walsh asked. “Really?”

“This man is bringing male prostitutes into his home and filming fetish videos. If you think that’s a healthy environment for two young boys, then I have questions about you as well,” Walsh added in response to someone defending Greenwald.

The hypocrisy of right-wing elites

When Greenwald’s sex tape leaked, “within hours right-wing elites raced to defend him,” noted Katy Faust, founder of the global children’s rights organization, Them Before Us. “Right now, many right-wing elites seem to care more about shielding their friends than standing on principle.” 

Faust offered striking examples of “conservative hypocrisy” in recent years:

Megyn Kelly slammed Biden’s non-binary official Sam Brinton for being a ‘diversity hire’ when he was caught stealing luggage … But a gay journalist who sometimes sides w conservatives? Big pass, because he’s a ‘friend of many years.’ 

[Candace] Owens condemned Kevin Spacey, Andrew Gillum, Lil Nas X, asking:

“Why has ‘oh, but I’m gay’ become a default excuse for immorality?’” But there’s no critique of Greenwald’s behavior, just that he is “one of the most important and honest voices of our time.”

Charlie Kirk mocked a gay Dem staffer who filmed a sex act in the Capitol noting that he was let off easier than the J6ers. “Should’ve stripped naked and filmed gay sex—then you’d be fine.”  But Glenn is a “free speech warrior & consistent journalist.”

“We’ve seen this before,” Faust wrote on X. “When Dave Rubin announced his surrogate pregnancies and Elon Musk had a baby with Ashley St. John, gone were the ‘kids need a mom and dad,’ and ‘marriage matters’ sentiments that many of these conservatives promote.” 

“The worst part is, our youngest voters have seen the harm of progressivism and are swinging hard toward the traditional on gender, family, and sex,” Faust said. “Zoomers are extreme when it comes to embracing conservative morals.”

“They want clarity. Not cowardice,” she added. 

Ex-gay provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos didn’t mince words regarding the Greenwald video, and the important questions it raises about his suitability as both a father and a heretofore respected spokesperson.

“Did Greenwald choose his adopted kids because they look so much like his dead husband?” Yiannopoulos asked on X and wondered if the boys had yet been sexually abused by their adoptive father. 

“You cannot allow someone whose mind is so broken that it craves humiliation and subjugation 24/7 to be a role model or spokesperson, you cannot allow them a public platform or position of influence,” Yiannopoulos declared.   

“Shall we talk about what gay sex actually is and what it’s like?” Yiannopoulos asked of the conservatives circling the wagons around Greenwald, “or are you imbeciles going to stop pretending these people are heroes who should be allowed to adopt kids?”'

End of article...

I might add that our President -- and his wife -- are all in for the "Log Cabin Republicans," that is, those homosexuals who call themselves Republicans -- because they support Mr. Trump and his agenda...

There seems to be no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil when it comes to politics, especially when it means supporting a particular politician or political party, in this case, the Republican Party.

As always, we must pray for the conversion of these poor souls -- and for strength and honor!

Liar, Homosexual, Heretic "Fr." James Martin: Urges Catholics To celebrate LGBT ‘Pride Month’!

 Okay, so when will Leo cancel and defrock this character? 

When will he publicly excommunicate this "priest"?

That sure would send a message, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen...

Here's the latest from the scandalous Martin: Fr. James Martin urges Catholics to celebrate LGBT ‘Pride Month’ - LifeSite and written by Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent 

Mon Jun 2, 2025 - 12:40 pm EDT

"(LifeSiteNews) — As in previous years, Father James Martin has urged Catholics to celebrate “Pride month,” saying that “for the LGBTQ community” it is “a recognition of the human dignity of a group of people who have, for centuries been, treated with contempt, rejection and violence.”

Amid the rise of LGBT ideology in secular society, the prominence of marking June as “Pride month” has similarly grown.

For the Jesuit Martin, it is important for this to be the case. “Pride month,” he wrote, is “mainly about supporting the fundamental human rights of the LGBTQ community: the right to live in safety, the right to be treated as equals, and the right to be fully welcome in society.”

Continuing, he wrote in his pro-LGBT outlet Outreach:

For the religious person, this month is also a reminder that LGBTQ people are beloved children of God. Pride Month reminds Catholics to treat LGBTQ people with the “respect, compassion and sensitivity” that the Catechism commands, the “closeness, compassion and tenderness” that Pope Francis has taught, and the love and mercy that Jesus showed to all people, especially those on the margins, during his public ministry.

It’s especially important for churches to mark Pride Month since much of the rejection that LGBTQ people have faced has been motivated by Christianity – at least what many people think Christianity teaches. An example: One of the most common reasons for homelessness among LGBTQ teens is that they have been kicked out of their families for ostensibly religious reasons.

The Catholic Church teaches that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered” and “are contrary to the natural law,” adding explicitly that “under no circumstances can they be approved.” This language has drawn criticism from Martin in the past, who has questioned the Church’s choice of language.

READ: Fr. James Martin argues there’s no conflict between Pride Month and Sacred Heart devotion

The Church also has a special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in June, which Martin himself noted, but as in previous years he said that this devotion could easily be aligned with Pride Month:

As I see it, the two are complementary, not contradictory. The Sacred Heart teaches us how Jesus loves; Pride Month reminds us whom Jesus invites us to love today.

He also sought to distance himself somewhat from the LGBT festival that “Pride” events tend to be, attesting that “just because you celebrate Pride Month doesn’t mean that you necessarily agree with what every person, every organization or even every float in every parade has to say.”

Giving the month to “Pride,” opined the Jesuit, “is mainly about supporting the fundamental human rights of the LGBTQ community: the right to live in safety, the right to be treated as equals, and the right to be fully welcome in society.”

“For the LGBTQ person,” he added, “pride is not about vanity but about human dignity.”

“Pride month” is societally promoted as an acceptance of all things related to LGBT ideology and appears at its heart to be a rejection of traditional Catholic teaching on marriage, morality, and the family.

Pride is also listed by the Church as one of the seven deadly sins – an aspect often highlighted by clerics who warn against promoting, or participating in, “Pride month.”

Martin also condemned the sin of pride, but commented that the celebration of “Pride month” is something different:

But the second kind of pride is a consciousness of one’s own dignity. And that’s closer to what Pride Month is meant to be for the LGBTQ community: a recognition of the human dignity of a group of people who have, for centuries been, treated with contempt, rejection and violence.

He encouraged individuals to congratulate young people who declare themselves as “LGBTQ,” saying that “God wants them to be who they are”:

Maybe the best way to think about Pride Month is to imagine what you would say to a young person who finally summoned up the courage to tell you that they are LGBTQ. You know that God created them. You know that God loves them. And you know that God wants them to be who they are. So, you would probably say, “I am so proud of you for being able to say that.”

Lamenting the decline in “Pride” events this year – a marked phenomenon in contrast to 2024 – Martin also suggested that such events “may be more relevant than ever.”

Thanks in part to Martin’s own activity with his LGBT Outreach group, Pope Francis welcomed a number of LGBT groups at the Vatican in recent years and directly supported Martin’s Outreach.

EXCLUSIVE: Fr. James Martin says Pope Francis wanted to make LGBT people ‘feel at home’

Martin’s own record on LGBT issues is well documented, and among other things has promoted same-sex civil unions and has described viewing God as male as “damaging.”

Martin has previously denied that he rejects Church teaching on homosexuality and LGBT issues, although he has become the public champion of such questions in the Church. But others disagree. Raymond Cardinal Burke deemed the priest’s teaching as “not coherent with the Church’s teaching on homosexuality.” Archbishop Charles Chaput joined the ranks of prelates opposing Martin, saying that on LGBT issues, he “does not speak with authority on behalf of the Church.”'

Massive Apostasy Continues At Notre Dame (Our Lady!) University: Celebration Of Pride Eclipses Its Legacy Of Devotion To The Sacred Heart!!!!!

 Catholic parents, did you get that??

If you are considering sending your precious (Catholic) children to that hot bed of liberalism and those sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance, then you ought to have your collective heads examined!!

You will be jeopardizing the immortal souls of your offspring!

And you will be held accountable to Christ Almighty at your Particular Judgment!

Doesn't that scare you?

If not, then something is very wrong with your critical thinking -- and your Catholic Faith!

Or do you think that such filth is no big thing??

Most Catholics know that for decades upon decades, the-once Catholic university of Notre Dame has succumbed to the Zeitgeist and, for all practical purposes, has abandoned the Faith of our Fathers.

Wake up!!!

Here from lifesitenews.com and written by Sycamore Trust Mon May 26, 2025 - 11:28 am EDT: Notre Dame’s celebration of pride eclipses its legacy of devotion to the Sacred Heart - LifeSite

This article will reveal the stunning, blasphemous insult to the Sacred Heart of Our Blessed Lord, and instead embraces the madness of the sins that destroyed and reduced Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes!

 "(Sycamore Trust) — In this bulletin, we draw attention to Notre Dame’s troubling observance of “Pride Month” over the past four years—a stark contrast to its Catholic foundation. We invite you to stand with us in reclaiming the month of June in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. And, as part of this effort, we encourage you to participate in our Sacred Heart Novena, which will take place from June 19 to 27, 2025.

We also remind you that our annual Breakfast is fast approaching. Whether you join us in person or via livestream, you won’t want to miss this compelling presentation on an unprecedented legal challenge and its far-reaching implications for the preservation of Catholic identity at Notre Dame.

Notre Dame’s celebration of pride eclipses its legacy of devotion to the Sacred Heart

Notre Dame University Facebook post (text) from June 1, 2024.

For the past four years, the University of Notre Dame has embraced June as “Pride Month,” offering a wide range of events, resources, and affirmations in celebration of “LGBTQ+” identity and experience. Gone is any institutional recognition of June as the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus – a devotion at the very heart of the Catholic tradition and foundational to Notre Dame’s own identity and historical ties with the Congregation of Holy Cross.

With June only a week away, we await confirmation whether, for a fifth year, Notre Dame will celebrate “Pride” at the expense of the Sacred Heart.

READ: Confidence in the mercy of Christ’s Sacred Heart comes only with repentance

Following secular culture

Pride Month has become a modern phenomenon, championed by secular culture, and celebrated in cities worldwide. In higher education, the Campus Pride Index now lists over 400 colleges affirming LGBT inclusivity – including more than half of the Jesuit Catholic universities in the United States and Notre Dame. Notre Dame’s participation not only aligns it with this secular trend but sets it in opposition to the Church’s teachings on chastity, the family, and the anthropology of the human person as created male and female.

In spite of the dramatic misalignment with Catholic teaching and tradition, Notre Dame has expanded its observance of “Pride Month” each year since 2021 through campus-wide programming, community events, and social media content that celebrates and promotes “LGBTQ+” identity and experience.

In addition to participating in South Bend’s annual Pride Festival, for example, the University has promoted events like Allyship 101 to provide training in “LGBTQIA+ advocacy” and Pride OUTside Hike to “show your true colors” by “dressing in support of the LGBTQ+ Community” for a mile long hike. Official Notre Dame Social Media accounts along with those of many Notre Dame Alumni clubs and affinity groups featured rainbow motifs (like the one above) and solidarity statements actively promoting and celebrated a common cause that conflicts with the truth of Catholicism.

And not an official peep about the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The heart of Notre Dame University, forgotten

Blessed Basil Moreau consecrated the Holy Cross order to the Sacred Heart in 1837. Father Edward Sorin enshrined this devotion at the center of campus life with the Church of the Sacred Heart. Poignantly, he placed a statue of the Sacred Heart in front of the Main Building as a symbol of Notre Dame’s trust in divine mercy and fidelity to the Church.

“Venite ad me omnes” is inscribed at the base of the statue recalling Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

This is one of the most tender and consoling invitations of Christ in the entire New Testament. It is His call to the weary, the burdened, the sinners, the wounded—to come to His Sacred Heart, the wellspring of mercy and peace: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

In a letter dated June 20, 1876 – Feast of the Sacred Heart – Father Sorin exhorted his fellow priests:

More than ever, let us place our hopes and prayers and needs in the Sacred Heart – the primary Patron of our Congregation… and whilst our glorious and loving Patron is failing us in nothing, let us not fail first in duty, but endeavor to deserve an increase of blessings.

The University’s spiritual history is further adorned by figures like Servant of God Brother Columba O’Neill, C.S.C., a humble cobbler and healer whose devotion to the Sacred Heart was deeply tied to his love for the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Brother Columba was widely known for encouraging confession “to Jesus through Mary” and for distributing Sacred Heart badges across campus as tokens of faith and protection.

To neglect the rich legacy of Notre Dame’s devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for a month-long endorsement of “LGBTQ+ Pride” is not a neutral shift – it is a repudiation of the very identity Notre Dame was consecrated to uphold.

Doctrine ignored, identity endangered

While firmly and unfailingly upholding the dignity of those suffering with same-sex attraction (CCC 2358), the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches clearly that homosexual acts are “acts of grave depravity” (CCC 2357), and the Vatican’s instruction Male and Female He Created Them rejects the ideological foundations of gender theory as contrary to human dignity and the family. “Pride Month,” by contrast, celebrates these very identities and experiences. That Notre Dame joins in the celebration without qualification – while omitting the Sacred Heart – is a decisive turn away from fidelity to Catholic teaching.

This June, Notre Dame faces a choice once again. Will it continue to follow the path of secular affirmation, or will it remember its roots in the Heart of Christ?

Should Notre Dame choose not to participate in “Pride Month” this year it would distinguish itself from its peers. Such a decision would highlight a commitment to alternative values and traditions – the very sort that are courageously countercultural and Catholic in every sense.

To be conformed to the Sacred Heart is to love with a crucified love and to stand firm before a world that scoffs at the Cross – rebuking cowardice, compromise, and modernism.

Let us pray the University chooses reparation over rebellion – and return to the Sacred Heart that once inspired its founding.

May Notre Dame and other Catholic institutions rekindle devotion to the Sacred Heart which is to rekindle the very soul of Catholic identity.

Learn what you can do to reclaim June for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and join us in our Sacred Heart Novena (June 19-27, 2025)."

Oregon Wants All Americans To Come There To Kill Themselves!!

 Oregon, one of those damned states, "where legalized assisted suicide was born, has no residency requirement, meaning that anyone anywhere in the U.S. could fall victim to the state’s radical law"!

From lifenews.com and written by Maria Gallagher  |   May 30, 2025   |   5:35PM   |  Salem, Oregon: Oregon Wants All Americans to Come There to Kill Themselves - LifeNews.com

"The territory for the disaster known as assisted suicide is expanding. Oregon, the state where legalized assisted suicide was born, has no residency requirement, meaning that anyone anywhere in the U.S. could fall victim to the state’s radical law. Now, some lawmakers in the Western state want to dismantle the few restrictions that exist regarding the diabolical practice.

In response, I decided to submit written testimony to the Oregon legislature raising my objections to the ill-conceived SB 1003.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My name is Maria Gallagher, and I come to you as the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, an affiliate of National Right to Life. I also come as a concerned mother, a daughter who has dealt with the health challenges of her parents, and an American citizen who is worried about the suicide tourism which is likely to expand under SB 1003.

In the year 2000, Jeanette Hall was told that she had only six months to live after receiving a cancer diagnosis. But she had a doctor who believed in her, who encouraged her not to give up. Twelve years later, she was still alive, and happy about it!

She readily admitted that, had her doctor believed in assisted suicide, she would have been dead, and would have missed out on so much of life. She expressed gratitude to her physician for giving her life with dignity.

The number one reason given for assisted suicide by its victims is not pain—it is loss of autonomy. They fear being a burden on others. That can be exacerbated when family members, friends, or medical professionals portray the patient as being a burden rather than a human being in need of care.

Shortening the existing waiting period, mandating promotion of assisted suicide by health care facilities, and broadening the definition of who can prescribe lethal drugs will only worsen a health care crisis which sees patients as problems rather than as people of priceless worth and dignity.

What about the patient who feels as if he or she is being pressured into assisted suicide because of the high cost of health care? What about the patient who is suffering from debilitating depression and needs treatment, but who does not receive it? What about the patient whose loneliness and fears drive him or her to want to stop living?

While I live in Pennsylvania, I see this legislation as a threat to not only citizens of Oregon, but all Americans, since Oregon has dropped its residency requirement for assisted suicide. That makes people across the country vulnerable to this corruption of the medical field. Under the scenario created by SB 1003, health care professionals will not be in the business of healing, but of hurting, at an accelerated pace.

Oregon’s assisted suicide bill does not need to be expanded. What needs to be expanded are affordable health care, true compassion in the face of challenging circumstances, and a health care system that honors the value of patients, especially people with disabilities, who can become the most vulnerable in a pro-assisted suicide paradigm.

Please take the course of true compassion and patient-centered care and defeat SB 1003. So many precious lives are depending on the outcome of this critical decision.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am just one individual, but I believe that if we all raise our voices against the broadening of assisted suicide, it is possible to persuade public officials of the serious dangers associated with the practice. The only way for compassion not to win is for us to remain silent."
