Pope Francis attacks Blogs as the Source of False Media Stories by way of his Archbishop in Westminster?




Some of the traditional Catholic blogs I read in Britain have sent a fine barrage of words back at the Archbishop in Westminster for his fine fair thee well homily in his Mass for Pope Francis on April 10.

Aside from the standard boilerplate homily came the demand for silence and obedience and a slap at gossip in blogs being the source of media stories.

Whether the gossip or media stories have any truth or weight seems beside the point. Archbishop Nichols seems to be talking for Francis?

I have already stated one way or the other that Francis with his shady past and direct knowledge of crimes against humanity in Argentina’s Dirty War made him the perfect candidate for pope to protect Benedict and his crew of crony criminals still lurking around the Vatican, hiding from international justice.

I have to wonder if Nichols talks for Francis or Nichols is thin skinned and afraid of the same fate as his neighbor to the north, Cardinal O’Brien in Scotland?


Pope Francis understands this in practical terms. He has already identified two kinds of behaviour that destroy love in the Church. They are complaining and gossiping. He is a practical man. He knows that we live in a society in which complaining and gossip is a standard fare. They sell newspapers and attract us to blogs because we love to hear complaints and to read gossip.

But Pope Francis is clear: they should have no place in the Church.

  

Don't get into this game of a life of complaints.' Then, in another memorable phrase, he added that some ‘stew their lives in the juice of their own complaining.' 
 And gossip, too, he says, is a betrayal of Jesus. For when we gossip we see the lives of other people as merchandise, something to be exchanged for our own advantage. He said: 'I don't know why, but there is a dark joy in gossiping. Sometimes we begin by saying nice things about another, but then we slip into gossip, making the object of our chatter merchandise to be bartered. Let us ask forgiveness because when we do this to a friend, we do it to Jesus because Jesus is in this friend.' 
 We, as Catholics, are always ready to profess our love for the Lord. But now Pope Francis is calling us to show that love in down-to-earth ways. How wonderful it would be if our Church was known to be a place that was free of the sound of complaining and the whisper of gossip!

Soho Masses - London - Wandering Gays, the New Jews of the New Reich Catholic Church




Jihad against France and Britain’s political moves to legalize secular same sex marriage has the back biters in the Reich Catholic Church going after Catholic Gays and Lesbians, the new wandering Jews of that Reich Church.

Just ran into this story about Archbishop Nichols in London putting down his fabulous patent leather shoe to forbid the so-called “Soho Masses”, the temporary gatherings twice a month of the wandering Gays organization’s present sent up at a shitty looking church from Dickens time down a dark back alley/street in Westminster on Warwicke Street.

Archbishop Nichols you may remember went out of his way and his bailiwick to praise the “Courage of the Abusers” in Ireland right after the historic Child Abuse document of the Ryan Report in 2009.

Now, rainbow colored altar linen or vestments are not in Reich Church sacred tradition and cannot not be allowed along with the gathering of wandering Gays that want an occasional feel good, you are welcome here in God’s name atmosphere in their own element at a twice a month mass. Like Jesus the Hippie never wore the occasional tie-dyed tee shirt.

The Church of the Lady of the Assumption with its dark foreboding alleyway like place/street in central London is now needed to process disaffected Anglicans wanting solidarity with the women hating, gay hating Reich Catholic Church. And of course the occasional Gay Mass would scare the rich Anglicans away from holy mudder church.



The organization “Soho Masses” is becoming a floating organization looking for Gay Friendly Churches to deliver the odd Gay orientated audience sacred service, keeping one step ahead of the Grand Inquisitors, Conservative Snitches and Nero XVI’s Pretorian guards.

I may be wrong but there is in the current news that the SOHO Masses might be moving to a Jesuit church of the Immaculate Conception on Farm Street in Mayfair. 



That I think may have been a carrot waved by Nichols and company to add to their media releases to say that there is still a place for celibate self-hating gays but only at their local hetero hate the gays local parish. Whatever.

All this hate and it becomes clear looking at politics here and in Europe and the RCC that white and male is first and foremost. Brown and non-hetero (other) is a total inconvenience in dealing with those others.

Joe Ratzinger must stay up late at nights and regret that the ovens at Auschwitz of his beloved childhood memories are no longer in working order for the new Jews of sexual non-conformity, the new enemies of the Neo-Nazi Catholic Church in Rome.

He and his jiz crony medieval junto ruling party in his personal Reich Church is truly an evil factor to be considered, watch your back always, in the present global situation.

Drunk on the Blood of Saints and children too



'Endemic' rape and abuse of Irish children in Catholic care, inquiry finds.

The Ryan Report, out of Ireland, details decades of neglect and abuse of children by Catholic clergy and religious in Catholic institutions such as orphanages, workhouses or reformatories – whatever you want to call them. The bottom line is that the Irish Government dumped children in these places and trusted the Church to run these institutions as a substitute for a secular run system. This is what you get in a one religion state where Catholic Sharia Law and morals match what is on the books in the civil government. Why bother to waste taxpayer money on the children of the poor?

The Irish Government gave into demands for an inquiry and the then Prime Minister ordered this inquiry that has taken nine years to assemble. There are no names of the victims or of the alleged victimizers. No doubt Ireland recognized its culpability, co-conspiracy, in these many acts and crimes against humanity when it put a money cap limit of something like $175 million on the Church’s financial liability. The rest of the bill – the bailout so to speak – has now been dumped on the Irish taxpayer and the bill will likely be in the one to one and one half billion dollar range. No doubt in better economic times that sounded reasonable but the burden in reparations to victims is long overdue.

The standard cookie-cutter numbnut R.C. Archbishop of England and Wales Vincent Nichols (photo above), soon to be installed at Westminster, had words of praise for the courage of these disgraced religious orders to look upon their sins and brave on in their current duties.

Catholic Archbishop Explains Remarks on ‘Courage’ of Abusers

…It’s very distressing and very disturbing. And my heart goes out today, first of all to those people who will find that their stories are now told in public…. Secondly, I think of those in religious orders and some of the clergy in Dublin who have to face these facts from their past, which instinctively and quite naturally they’d rather not look at. That takes courage. And also we shouldn’t forget that this account today will also overshadow all of the good that they also did…

It is a tough road to take, to face up to our own weaknesses. That is certainly true of anyone who’s deceived themselves that all they’ve been doing is taking a bit of comfort from children….
“Taking a bit of comfort from the children…”(?)- sounds like a John Cleese line from Monty Python. And like a standard line from that comedy let me repeat the punch line “taking a bit of comfort from the children”(?) … “please sir, I want some more”… Dickens is not dead in Ireland at least or in living memory of these horrific crimes against the innocence of children.

Archbishop Nichols – can we all take a little comfort from you – PLEASE ?!

Words of comfort too from the Catholic Blogosphere and Bill Donahue, President of the Catholic League:
Hysteria over Irish Clergy Abuse
"Reuters is reporting that “Irish Priests Beat, Raped Children,” yet the report does not justify this wild and irresponsible claim. Four types of abuse are noted: physical, sexual, neglect and emotional.

"Physical abuse includes “being kicked”; neglect includes “inadequate heating”; and emotional abuse includes “lack of attachment and affection.” Not nice, to be sure, but hardly draconian, especially given the time line: fully 82 percent of the incidents took place before 1970…
There is nothing quite as therapeutic like some tough love for the little bastards to let them know their place in the scheme of things. Right Bill?

For a balanced more calm and more honest evaluation and perspective of this I recommend the ten minute video contained within below of an interview with Colm O’Gorman on British TV:
Response to Irish Abuse Report
According to one of the thousands of victims of abuse during this period, Colm O’Gorman, who was raped by a priest as a teenager, the abuses detailed in the 2,600-page report are “horribly, horribly shocking.”

Mr. O’Gorman, who now runs the Irish branch of Amnesty International, has recently written a memoir, “Beyond Belief.” On Wednesday he discussed the report and his own experience of abuse, during this interview with Jon Snow of Channel 4 News in London.
And if you think that the U.S. has cleaned up its priest abuse portfolio – don’t hold your breath – the reporter’s notes (a bit dated but still valid) and comments by Judge Anne Burke, who headed up a Catholic Bishops’ review of clergy abuse, is reflective of the on going cover up and Public Relations front of the American Church Hierarchy:
Judge Burke Tells All ( or at least some )
As an example of how the bishops twisted the truth to evade accountability, she recalls the story of an unnamed bishop who allegedly told her he'd cleaned out the stables in his diocese, but who later made front-page news by having a convicted sex-abuse priest living with him in his rectory. When Burke accused the bishop of lying to her, he said he didn't lie, because the priest had not been convicted. Burke reminded the bishop that the priest in question had pled guilty to the crime. The bishop insisted, bizarrely, to the judge that that isn't the same thing as being convicted.

She calls on the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) to be disbanded. “All it is is a trade association. And not a very good one at that.”

Burke and her NRB colleague Bob Bennett discreetly flew to Rome to meet with then-Cardinal Ratzinger (now, of course, Pope Benedict), to make sure he understood what the situation was in the American church.
I believe Ratzinger, I mean Joe the Pope, still has that report on his desk.

I do not mean to criticize here but I recognize that over half the Christian faith under control of the Hierarchy in Rome and its trickle down morality sound bites is still and has been since the Reformation – “Drunk on the blood of the Saints” and on the blood of children as well.

The sanctity of life not only begins at conception but should continue after it comes out of the womb. Comes out of the womb into a very cruel world where children worldwide and in the United States as well are nothing more than a commodity to be exploited if the society as a whole does not have a conceptualization of a holistic – total life – vision of the sanctity of life.
