Archdiocese of Cincinnati Fires Catholic School Worker for Support of Marriage Equality - Catholic Temple Police Snooping, Spying on Facebook Again
A person willing to defend the civil rights of others is not one
to be trusted to look the other way when the kids in his school get diddled.
Wink. Nod.
The Roman Catholics and their closeted
Hierarchy screaming "Religious Liberty" these days are really
screaming for their selfish Ayn Rand right to hate among other unchristian
things.
An Ohio Catholic school administrator who was fired for supporting gay marriage on his personal blog says his faith is unshaken and he has no regrets for taking a stance on the issue.
"My point was I wish I had time to care who married each other but I don't," Mike Moroski, 34, told ABCNews.com.
On Monday, the 12-year teaching veteran was fired from his job as dean of student life at Purcell Marian High School in Cincinnati for "public postings" that "directly contradict well-known teachings of the Catholic Church," according to a letter sent from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to students and parents.
Church officials said they would not comment on personnel issues but did provide ABC News.com with the letter.
Moroski, who is married to a woman, said he posted a quote on Facebook from President Obama's inauguration speech supporting marriage equality. It sparked a public discussion with a friend who had an opposing view.

The Next Pope – Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, Archbishop of Naples

| Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe - Archbishop of Naples |
The Next Pope Will Not Be Black or Non-European…
Looking at the field of contenders for next pope, I am thinking that
the next pope will not be black or from the third world or non-European.
I am also thinking that the next pope will be I-talian.
Eliminating all the Italian cardinals over seventy years of age
for someone you can get ten to fifteen years of work life out of, the field gets
narrower.
I am thinking that with current Vatican Corruption Scandals, the new
Italian pope cannot be an insider Vatican bureaucrat.
The one contender I see who is corrupt but not too corrupt, a
Vatican insider but not recently, and not within the shadow of the current shadows of that corruption,
and a man who has zero John Paul II Global CIA Superstar appeal, and has worked in South America
– hasn’t that Superstar media stuff worn thin on the pope product of late? –
and who looks like an old fashioned
Italian pope on a holy card, and or an old fashioned parish priest type – back to
basics?
And is bishop of a real city – Naples.

Bulletproofing and Alarm Systems Finished on Benedict XVI’s Retirement Xanadu in Vatican City
 |
| Ratzinger Palace, Vatican City |
The last of the nuns got kicked out
at the end of November in Benedict’s Golden Parachute retirement palace.
Retiring Vatican Mafia Don Joe
Ratzinger has to stay within the imaginary political state of Vatican City and
claim diplomatic immunity until death regarding his role as Pedophile Clergy
Enabler, Protector both for himself and his key role in the Worldwide Child
Abuse coverup for his former boss John Paul II.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
Indeed, the Vatican said that the Pope's retirement was foreseen when restructuring work began on the Mater Ecclesiae convent, within the Vatican, where he will live after the last nuns moved out in November.
I am reminded of a story I came
across somewhere about how when Cardinal Krol of Philadelphia retired in 1988,
he stayed in the premier living space of the 40 plus room Bishop’s Mansion on City
Line Avenue in Philly.
 |
| Cardinal Dougherty Bishop's Palace Philadelphia |
That newly appointed Archbishop Bevilacqua had to settle for whatever else secondary space was available in the
big house. Notes to the Vatican regarding protocols for retired senior clergy
were met with polite non-reply.
Krol had after all been John Paul II’s
kingmaker in the papal election of 1978 as official liaison for the American delegation and unofficial liaison for the CIA.
Rank, through indebtedness and or blackmail involving a
pope, has its privileges.

Polish Cardinal Dziwisz Criticizes Benedict’s Decision to Run from Duty - "You don't get down from the Cross".
A POLISH cardinal caused a stir in the Vatican yesterday with remarks in a radio interview that appeared to criticise Pope Benedict XVI's decision to resign. Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz of Cracow, secretary to the late Pope John Paul II, was quoted as saying that Benedict's predecessor had decided to remain Pope while dying an agonising death from Parkinson's because "you don't get down from the Cross". The Vatican insisted that the remarks had been misunderstood after being taken out of context, as the Polish prelate had praised the German Pope, a close friend of John Paul II. Cardinal Dziwisz insisted that he did not mean to imply any criticism.

Ratzinger’s Emerging Shadow Government / Kitchen Cabinet Running the Future Vatican?
 |
| The Next Pope? Pope Jester I? |
I have to think that the announcement
that Pope Benedict, “Cardinal Ratzinger’s” decision to stick around the Vatican
in a Convent is a poor decision and or says too many negative things to me.
CONVENT RETREAT
After he leaves office on February 28, he will go first to the papal summer residence south of Rome and then to a cloistered convent inside the Vatican walls, exchanging the splendor of his 16th century Apostolic Palace for a sober modern residence. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/12/us-pope-resigns-idUSBRE91A0BH20130212
While I know that an 85 year old man’s
capacity to annoy his successor on minor points of occasional gossip is to be
expected.
That he needs the protection of the
Vatican as in an armed Mafioso type bunker, in a convent, says so much of the
reality sitting outside the Vatican Gates for Crimes Against Humanity charges
floating around the legal ether in various political realms in Europe and or
North and South America.
While I can see maybe a half dozen
close friends and or confidants and with ranks of Archbishop and or Cardinal
knocking on the Convent door for a few ten minute sessions of “What would you
do in a situation like this?” type of friendly chit chat, I have to wonder if
Benedict’s chosen successor will be a full and or partially stringed marionette
dancing to the John Paul II’s and Benedict XVI’s regimes agenda hampered in modern times (Modernism is truly a Bitch!) by public
scrutiny and modern social technical communication intercourse.
In other words, is Benedict really
retiring or is he merely moving the RCC control center out of public view.
And the next pope will be a fully
functioning Disneyland minimum wage costumed employee greeting the tourists in the street
while the real power of the Vatican and its international banking and business
empire disappears from view?
And or is revenge, payback German
style being plotted as part of Benedict’s immediate pre-retirement and
post-retirement plans?

The Last Pope and Cultural Christians
 |
| Lightning Strike on St. Peter's in Rome - February 11, 2013 - Date of Benedict's Resignation |
I starting writing my blog almost
five years ago in reaction not to Benedict XVI's visit to my city, New York
City, but to the insulting to me media spin of men in collars in the media
calling people like me, Cultural Catholics and or get this "Recovering
Catholics" - evidence of experts talking out of their arses and pretending
to know what they talk about.
I wanted people like me to feel comfortable with
a label Cultural Christian and not feel inferior to the we have a name and a
label for everybody and everything crowd which is usually a negative name and
or label, with the know it all scholar types like Ratzy in the Vatican.
Joe the Pope as I have lovingly named
the present Roman Pontiff in more than one article of that blog had resigned. A
non-traditional thing in an institution blue in the face upholding and
compulsively obsessed with all things traditional and so-called sacred.
Well it just came to me as I no
longer have a whipping boy in Joe that who or what am I going to write about
now. Well, in all honesty my blogging has been an education. With Pharisee
types parading around the Vatican in fabulous lace things like Ray Burke, it
becomes evident that the parade and the show only masks the past glory and the
lost present respect that the Vatican gets and deserves now that it is little
more than a money launderer for every crank right wing group in existence.
In a way the St Malachy prophesy that
these are the last popes in a list revised and extended once I think in the
14th century is a rare glimpse into the humanity of it all, the institution
that at this point in time, the Vatican is little different than any other
corporate headquarters marketing and franchising cheap chicken sandwiches to
the masses.
The facade of the Vatican is just
that - a facade.
Perception is everything and many
more by the millions now know and recognize the deception. The church now I
think is just the people of God no matter how long the museum in Rome continues
to stand awaiting tourists with their tourist dollars.

Queen to Abdicate March 1 ? – Inspired by Benedict XVI’s Resignation
Inspired by Benedict XVI, Liz’s title after
abdication / resignation will be simply Mrs. Phil the Greek.
Enjoy your retirement Babe!
.
Joseph Ratzinger in Retirement
He stayed long enough to tie up many
loose ends from his work with his predecessor. Paper Shredder #23's warranty
just expired.
That and the thing with the butler.
His mental capacity is in question. Who can you trust to run things in your
blackout periods? No one.
With a Papal Passport in retirement,
he is untouchable. No doubt he wants to spend his final days in a monastery in
Germany or be in the same old age home as his brother.
The bottom line for all to consider
including himself - he is only human.

Benedict XVI to Resign - February 28
Live on BBC - Pope to Resign February 28
Few details at the moment.
"The reasons behind the head of the
Catholic Church's surprise resignation have yet to emerge.
"Resignations from the papacy are not
unknown, but this is the first in the modern era, which has been marked by
pontiffs dying while in office.
"At 78, the former Cardinal Joseph
Ratzinger was one of the oldest new popes in history when elected.
"He took the helm as one of the fiercest
storms the Catholic Church has faced in decades - the scandal of child sex
abuse by priests - was breaking."...
Thomas More in Hell – From a Strictly Protestant POV
“There is only one Thomas More: A man of
tender nobility, subtle intellect, and forceful conviction, all rooted in
profound fidelity to the larger commonwealth of Christendom outside and above
Tudor England.”~~ Abp. Charles Chaput
Actually, there are two Thomas Mores, the
other one was a bloody henchman for Henry VIII who gladly sought out, judged,
tortured and burned Lutherans and Heretics. A Man for all Catholic Inquisitor Seasons,
not real or humanist Seasons.
Dying for one’s personal fickle and often changeable con$cience of conveneince is perhaps more a sign of mental illness than a reason for “sainthood”.

Joe Arpaio’s Vigilantes Get Training and Photo Op-ed with Has Been Snow Bird Actor Steven Seagal
 |
| Steven Seagal - Vigilante Trainer |
Has been third rate
actor Steven Seagal, who got immunity in 2003 to testify against members of the
Brooklyn and Staten Island Mob regarding mob questionable funding of some of
his early films, seems suitable material to do a NRA modern equivalent exercise
of the Nuclear Age’s “Duck and Cover” to be taught in our modern day schools on
Joe Arpaio’s Turf in the rich suburb of Phoenix, Fountain Hills Arizona.
FOUNTAIN HILLS, Arizona (Reuters) - Action film star Steven Seagal, who racks up big body counts in his on-screen battles with bad guys, took on a new role on Saturday, training posse volunteers for controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio in how to use guns to protect schools in shooting incidents.
Arpaio, who styles himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff," enlisted Seagal to train his Maricopa County posse members at a school in Fountain Hills, a (a very rich) suburb northeast of Phoenix, with children used as stand-ins for scared students.
Seagal, a burly martial arts expert turned actor, guided 48 volunteers through various aspects of responding to a shooting, including room-to-room searches, and critiqued their work.
"I am here to try to teach the posse firearms and martial arts to try to help them learn how to respond quicker and help protect our children," Seagal said.
…About a dozen people protested the event.
"No gun should ever be in a school," said protester Cynthia Wharton, a Fountain Hills resident.
Arpaio's 3,450-strong posse of unpaid men and women has for years helped the sheriff target drunken drivers and illegal immigrants, and chase down fathers who are behind on child support.
Last year, Arpaio sent posse members to Hawaii to investigate the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate at the request of local Tea Party activists, a key Arpaio constituency.
A sometime resident of the Phoenix Valley and member of Arpaio's posse, Seagal, 60, starred in big-budget films in the 1980s and early 1990s…

Queen Mary the Great of England – A Queen for all Seasons – Religious Liberty – 1555 – “Bloody Mary”
 |
| Mary I of England - A Queen for All Religious Liberty Seasons |
Saint Thomas More, patron saint of
Statesmen was a pussy. On his best day of defending Catholicism, he only
burned a handful of Lutherans and or heretics for his King, Henry VIII.
Thomas More is the Martyr most quoted as the
prime example of Catholics to emulate in the present Great Self Delusional,
Self Fulfilling Prophecy Paranoia laden Religious Liberty Campaign to protect whatever
from the reality of the existing dominant global secular non-christian culture.
“The time for easy Christianity is over. In
fact, it never really existed. We’re blessed to be rid of the illusion. We need
to be more zealous in our faith, not more discreet; clearer in our convictions,
not muddier; and more Catholic, not less.” (Archbishop Charles Chaput, p.53 of
Render Unto Caesar)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mary (the Great of England)(Henry VIII’s Daughter) had always rejected the break with Rome instituted by her father and the establishment of Protestantism by Edward VI. She and her husband wanted England to reconcile with Rome. Philip persuaded Parliament to repeal the Protestant religious laws passed by Mary's father, thus returning the English church to Roman jurisdiction.
Reaching an agreement took many months, and Mary and Pope Julius III had to make a major concession: the monastery lands confiscated under Henry were not returned to the church but remained in the hands of the new landowners, who were very influential. By the end of 1554, the pope had approved the deal, and the Heresy Acts were revived.
Under the Heresy Acts, numerous Protestants were executed in the Marian Persecutions. Many rich Protestants, including John Foxe, chose exile, and around 800 left the country. The first executions occurred over a period of five days in early February 1555: John Rogers on 4 February, Laurence Saunders on 8 February, and Rowland Taylor and John Hooper on 9 February.
The imprisoned Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer was forced to watch Bishops Ridley and Latimer being burned at the stake.
Cranmer recanted, repudiated Protestant theology, and rejoined the Catholic faith. Under the normal process of the law, he should have been absolved as a repentant. Mary, however, refused to reprieve him. On the day of his burning, he dramatically withdrew his recantation.
All told 283 were executed, most by burning. The burnings proved so unpopular, that even Alfonso de Castro, one of Philip's own ecclesiastical staff, condemned them, and Philip's adviser, Simon Renard, warned him that such "cruel enforcement" could "cause a revolt".
Mary persevered with the policy, which continued until her death and exacerbated anti-Catholic and anti-Spanish feeling among the English people. The victims of the persecutions became lauded as martyrs.

Cardinal Burke, Vatican Mob Boss, Pisses on Savita Halappanavar’s Grave and her Right to Life in Irish Press
 |
| Savita Halappanavar - Murdered in Ireland by Irish / Catholic Sharia Law |
"The tragic death of Savita Halappanavar has triggered a frenzy
amongst abortion activists in a similar way to which deception and lies were
used in the case of Norma Jean McCorvey's pregnancy in 1973. What lessons can
the Irish government learn from the McCorvey case to prevent the Savita Case
becoming Ireland's Roe vs Wade?"
"The
death of Savita Halappanavar is indeed tragic. It is, however, contrary to
right reason to hold that an innocent and defenceless human life can be
justifiably destroyed in order to save the life of the mother.
"The Irish
people, and especially the Irish government, should be very alert to the kind
of argumentation which will be used by the secular media and by secular
ideologues, in general, claiming that the destruction of the new human life in
her womb could have saved the life of Savita Halappanavar and, therefore, would
have been justified. Such an argument is absurd in itself.
"Even though, if the reports are correct, Savita Halappanavar requested
an abortion, her request would not have made it right for the law to permit
such an act which is always and everywhere wrong."

Cathedral Grounds in Philadelphia Haunted? – Built on Ancient Potter’s Field and Execution Site
 |
| 222 N 17th Street (foreground right) - Rear of Cathedral (background left) Google Maps |
I can remember in the seventh grade going downtown
after school with some classmates to pick up some boxes of plastic icons of the Virgin
Mary down at the Archdiocesan offices behind the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and
Paul in Philadelphia and returning uptown to make delivery to the local convent
of these items before returning home.
I can remember those buildings,
townhouses behind the Cathedral that had many various departments crammed and
housed in Victorian building space.
I can remember when they tore those buildings
down and in a weekend or was it a week it seemed, they put the prefabricated
tinker toy like steel girders snapped into place of the “Archdiocesan Office
Building” out of some kit do doubt sent from overseas.
Then the prefab
sheathing of windows and faux stone filler went up. The resulting 13 story
office building would provide plenty of office space for decades to come in
this new Chancery.
No doubt with Cardinal Krol’s campaign for the
papacy and Cardinal Bevilacqua's grand child abuse cover up schemes with future
bishops Cistone and Cullen and Rigali's follow up with want a be bishop Msgr. Bill Lynn one must take one’s
breath, think of Cardinal Rigali’s using the address as a mere mail drop for
his real full time digs in Rome next to the Swiss Guard’s Barracks (wink, nod), one might
give pause to the thought how isolated and lonely it is at the top of the
Philadelphia Catholic Hierarchy in the 13th floor penthouse suite of
the Archbishop’s office.
In that corner office overlooking the copper dome
of Sts. Peter and Paul’s, the Parisian style grand public buildings of Logan
Square and the magnificent Greek style temple of the Philadelphia Museum of Art
beyond, one might wonder if one was at least on the slopes of Parnassus is not
on mighty Mt. Olympus itself.
Indeed even the five star Four Seasons Hotel
could only be built here on Logan Circle as the premiere gateway to the cultural
heart of the city.
Of course it was not always like this. There was
a time when the Cathedral was first planned for and built, Logan Square was
quite isolated and not a desirable or fashionable part of the W.A.S.P. culture
city further to the east. Logan Square was the ideal out of the way place to
build a Papist temple without upsetting the Protestant elites of Philadelphia.
That and Logan Square was the potters field, one
of several in the city and adjacent to the gallows once there. That like all
things official and or unofficial in the past, the potter’s field, a burial
place for the poor, the low lifes, prostitutes, criminals and executed
prisoners, the boundaries of a designated city square haphazardly overflowed
its boundaries onto the future cathedral site.
The nearby legitimate Quaker
burial grounds would also have had an overflow of graves for the poor who
brought their dead and those in the middle of the night that just dumped dead bodies in the general vicinity of the whole general area of death.
That the present chancery of 222 N. 17th
Street might have been part of a stockade off Logan Square to house the convicted about
to die on the gallows as a staging area to send them off to their fates and a
place to hold or store executed bodies after until a means of burying them
could be organized or arranged.
Sounds a bit odd but I am reminded of the scene
in the movie The Sixth Sense where the psychic child who can supposedly talk to and see the dead sees a place of execution that history does not record but the child
witnesses the dead dangling from the gallows that held even children, those whose
only crime might have been the capital crime of stealing bread to survive back then in the
past.
So it is rumored that before they built the
present day fashionable bits of upscale downtown Philadelphia, in the past, the
dark past, the underside function of a city dealing with death used to be practiced
and had a place here and around Logan Square (now Logan Circle).
It is little wonder that some say the building at
222 N. 17th Street, the Chancery is haunted with death and evil from the past
and passing all the way, reinforced, to the present day there.

Half-Assed Cardinal George’s Half-Assed call to Martyrdom for Brit Catholics while Cardinal George Smugly Sleeps Well in His Own Bed At Night, no Conscience Required.
 |
| Cardinal George Chicago - Martyrdom is Good for Everybody Else Other Than Me |
The British Uber-Catholic Blogosphere went ape
shit the other day when Parliament under conservative Prime Minister Cameron
confirmed the right thing, the human thing to do, to confirm the civil right of
all citizens in Britain the right to civil marriage.
The law which passed is on
the road to adjustments, tweaking, and a final vote in the House of Lords
exempts religious groups, gives them the right to abstain from being forced by
law to administer the marriage ceremony for the state.
In BRITAIN it was the conservatives that pushed
for marriage equality for some strange reason. I do, as an aside, wonder if there
is a some new world order committee that tells the guy in charge in every country – “this is how
it goes Jack and or Dave and or Barry etc…” (aside over)
Well the period in which the organized resistance
to marriage equality was a lot like their prep time for elections like for only
a few weeks. So the opposition and not necessarily the political right only had
days and weeks to organize opposition letter writing, blog explaining campaign
against the human rights thing of marriage equality.
Now that Cameron has betrayed his upfront promise
for his government not to get involved in marriage equality, the religious
right is seething in anger and looking for scapegoats etc. for their defeat in
Parliament.
All well and good the way they do things in Britannia. Since that recent vote in Parliament, I have not found one single right wing Brit religious blog that has not quoted half of
Cardinal George of Chicago’s so called “Call to Martyrdom" in the British Isles.
It spread like wildfire. Almost like off the same mimeograph machine.
The quote is:
“I am (correctly) quoted as saying that I
expected to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will
die a martyr in the public square.”
A call to martyrdom of Brit Catholics?
The source of the quote which is rarely quoted in
the British Catholic Blogosphere is the link below along with the full two
sentence quotation by the holy loquacious bishop of Chicago, whom many think is
Benedict XVI’s logical successor as head of the Vatican Mafia Crime Family.
“I am (correctly) quoted as saying that I
expected to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will
die a martyr in the public square.”--
All well and good that Cardinal George’s successor
be flung into prison but I think it not on matters of faith as much as for
fiscal mismanagement (stealing) and the child abuse scandal cover-up as now
documented in the infamous Ratzinger Pedophile Archives in the Vatican, which I
think is Cardinal Ratzinger’s ultimate legacy to humanity in terms of documenting
the Holocaust of Innocence (of Children) orchestrated by the pervs presently running
the Church of Rome.
My spec choice for the man in prison in Cardinal
George’s rightful place as the next Cardinal of Chicago is Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville Kentucky, that state represented at present in the Senate by
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (grandma) and tea bagger tea party
superstar Rand Paul. Geez.
I do not suppose that Cardinal George knows or
cares that far right Brit Catholics are about to act like lemmings and jump off
the cliff of martyrdom and or enroll in Afghani style Martyr classes in the
greater London region. Will he make an effort to rescind his popular half quoted
position, while jihad forms in his absence of clarity? I somehow doubt it.
On top of this now defeat of the far right
Catholics in Britain is their blogosphere, they are now quoting the great church
father of law Cardinal Burke as author of revenge and denying sacraments to all Catholics in Parliament who voted with the Cameron team on marriage equality. Oy Vey!
What a strange backward Déjà vu Britain is now
after our recent elections where we did not vote for Obama as much as make
every effort possible to vote against the Church Party – the GOP – who would
scrap our social safety net to finance lazy crony moron business men who don’t
know how to run businesses or create jobs.
