Marcial Maciel – Catholic extraordinnaire!

Marcial Maciel – Catholic extraordinnaire!

"Do you want to love God, boy ?" You may be forgiven for not knowing the name Marcial Maciel but when you hear just a few facts about him, you may make a pretty accurate guess. It is the fact that you will be able to guess this gentleman's profession that makes it all the sadder. He was   unmarried  but had affairs with several women and [...]

Belgian shockolates!

   "Time for your penance" "Germans have no sense of humour", "Americans don't understand irony", "Italians will shag anything with a pulse", "English are uptight and constipated",  " French have an unwarranted  superiority complex" . National stereotyping is often neither pleasant nor accurate but  always contains a grain of truth and is [...]

14 deacons? That’s a net 9.

" For what I am about to receive........" Next Sunday (June 20th), in St Peter's Basilica, Pope Ratz will ordain 14 deacons for the Diocese of Rome  announced the The Vatican Information Service .

Holy Homo!

Holy Homo!

There has been another mealy-mouthed apology from Pope Ratz. Another apology without acceptance of either liability or accountability. Satan wasn't mentioned but the Vatican  has already   indicated that he is implicated. Otherwise, how could the Vatican possibly accept the well-established fact that Catholic priests  have been buggering [...]

Father M would like to see you in his office.

There is little understanding of the word "grooming" when applied to predatory paedophiles. We imagine a gradual increase in emotional pressure on innocent young people and their eventual capitulation to the vile attentions of a pervert. The article below explains one boy's experience and unease at being singled out for "special attention". This [...]

FROM THE CAVE

A tape said to be from al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has warned US President Barack Obama there will be more attacks if the US continues to support Israel.

In the newly released audio tape aired on al-Jazeera, Bin Laden says the US will never live in peace until there is "peace in Palestine".

The authenticity of the audio tape has not been verified.

The message claims al-Qaeda was behind the 25 December attempt to blow up a passenger plane bound for the US.

A Nigerian man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has been charged with attempting to blow up the Delta Airlines plane as it approached Detroit from Amsterdam.

The voice recording says that the message is from "Osama to Obama".

Global Storming

The really big lie about man-made global warming is that almost all scientists accept it.
More than 4,000 scientists from 106 countries, including 72 Nobel prize winners, signed the Heidelberg Appeal (1992), calling for a rational scientific approach to environmental problems.
Many senior scientists have also supported The Statement by Atmospheric Scientists on Greenhouse Warming (1992), The Leipzig Declaration (1997),the Oregon Petition (1998) which received the signatures of over 19,000 scientists and the Manhattan Declaration (2008) remains one of the most ignored climate-change documents ever.
