...the North Korean nuclear threat is being greatly downplayed in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (1) and that the overall threat of a "rogue" state building (or otherwise owning) a nuclear device and delivering it is next to nil, according to a professional report aired in Al-Jazeera, the Arab CNN equivalent?

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: Let us see... An obviously minor flu outbreak has been treated as if it were a raging Spanish Flu pandemic, purposely throwing the world population into a near panic

yet....

..... North Korea seems to be celebrating, on our behalf, the 4th of July every day by launching missiles and running explicitly forbidden nuclear tests at will

 while....

..... Iran has served notice to the world that they will continue their nuclear program....

and...

....Pakistan and India - two nuclear powers - are as politically stable as a bowl of Jell-O being transported through a very bumpy road...

but....

.....the world is being told by experts that no one should really worry about a nuclear threat.

There seems to be something wrong, very wrong, with "this picture". Of course, if we understand that the flu panic is being programmed and controlled by "them" and it is God, not "them", Who truly controls the use of a nuclear device, then the picture makes sense, doesn't it? You see, "their" plan does not include the use of nuclear weapons.

...scientists, scouring the ocean floor to study the nature of tsunamis, discovered a massive underwater volcano off Indonesia's western coast. (1)

The 15,000-foot- (4,600-meter-) high mountain spans 30 miles (50 kilometers) at its base, Yusuf Surachman Djajadihardja, a marine geologist with the government's Agency for Assessment and Application Technology, said Friday. Its discovery was «completely unexpected,» he said.

It was not immediately clear if the volcano is active, but he said if it were and it erupted, it would be «very, very dangerous.

miguel de Portugal Comments: And to think that scientists believe (or at least act as) they know it all while the masses joyfully buy it.

...an openly gay teen has been voted prom queen at his Los Angeles high school in a campaign that began as a stunt but ended up spurring discussion on the campus about gender roles and popularity. (1)

Sergio Garcia said he felt "invincible" when he was crowned queen of the Fairfax High School dance at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Saturday. Days before the dance, Garcia told fellow students that he was "not your typical prom queen candidate. There's more to me than meets the eye."

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: As we stated in our document (2) regarding homosexuality:

Redefining The Problem
The true problems lie in:
1.- The persecution of homosexuals; and
2.- The promotion of the proliferation of homosexual lifestyle.
Tragically the more the homophobes "beat their hate drums" the more the homosexual lifestyle is promoted as a logical consequence. Just a "gentle" reminder that satan continues his well established technique of: Exhorts A against B; then exhorts B against A, stands back and watch the destruction of both.

...if Supreme Court hopeful Sonia Sotomayor is confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice, six of the nine Justices will be of the Catholic Faith? (1)

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: When one considers that Catholics make about 25 % of the US population, 66.6 % seems to be a highly disproportionate percentage of Catholics in such a pivotal Branch of the United States government. It is hard to imagine what would be the popular reaction if instead of Catholics, that very symbolic number represented the fraction of Jews or Muslims in the Supreme Court.

...the latest apparent Sacrilege is : Post the Host? (1)

Archbishop Jonathan Blake, a former Anglican priest who is now a bishop of the Open Episcopal Church, has hit on a neat solution to the problem of worshippers who cannot get to his Eucharists. He consecrates the host, then pops it in the post to allow members of the public to say their own "Masses" (minus consecration).

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  We say "apparent Sacrilege" because those hosts are as consecrated as many of those which are taken out of the tabernacle to give communion at Mass; hosts which are claimed to have been consecrated at "some other Mass" - which, with rare exceptions, is against Liturgy  Protocol. (2) Amazingly enough, we have missed those "some other Masses" in spite of having participated in ca. 8, 400 Masses.

...the situation shown is this very brief message [see below at (1)] really exists?.... and not very far from anyone of us.

I know the menu exemplified on that page  "on a first name basis" since many, many times I would find the poor feeding from the trash containers in front of the modest efficiency I lived in Houston in the late nineties.
 
I would share what I could - I was much better off.... since all the vegetables, greens and fruits I ate came from the local Supermarket's trash container.

Regardless of our situation at any stage in our lives, we cannot forget - and help -  those who, whatever they may find in our trash, will consider it to be a Blessing from God.

Yes, I am miguel de Portugal now but at one time the only French I cared to learn was: Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.  Which is a quote (erroneously) attributed to Marie Antoinette (2).

Let them eat cake (Qu'ils mangent de la brioche) is a statement which she allegedly uttered when she was told that the peasants did not even have bread to eat.

I would use it - and not necessarily in jest - while the mother of my children and I would shamelessly be tripping over the jewels that we would sport on a daily basis.

There is no shame because with God there is no shame; however, there is a mixture of sorrow - for the decades I wasted - and of great joy because, thanks be to God,  He opened my eyes before the French Revolution - Part II (3) got a hold of me first. Instead, I am able serve God, as He Wills, the remaining of my days until, at the appointed time (3).

...North Korea successfully conducted a nuclear test today? (1) NK argues it has no choice but to build an atomic arsenal to protect itself in a hostile world.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  It looks like the options left to the "International Community" - whatever that is - are: (a) Erase NK off the map before they try to do it it its neighbors; and (b) Wait until NK erases off the map one of its neighbors and then, in turn, erase NK off the map.  Of course, we still choose prayer and the carrot-and-the-stick style diplomacy but most are too busy talking about prayer to pray, and defending a Faith that they do not practice.

But then  again, with clergy who "At the beginning of the Mass the priest told the congregation that we  didn't need to worry about going to confession today because all of  our sins were forgiven since this was the Ascension of the Lord." as a trusted reader reported today, what can we expect?

...the Catholic Church in Spain takes ca. six billion Euors (ca. eight billion Dollars) from the public purse each year? (1)

This transfer of public money shows that Spain is covertly a confessional state, and that the separation between Church and state is still a fantasy.

Europa Laica (Secular Europe) notes that in a time of a profound economic and social crisis in Spain, the Catholic Church in Spain will still receive “full and prompt” funding from the State, without any kind of cuts, despite the Church’s immense wealth and opaque accounting practices.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  This would not be half as bad if the wealth of the Roman Catholic institutions in Spain could be expressed in less than astronomic terms. This  is not the mantra often used by anti Catholics; this is an appalling reality. From on-the-ground observations we can say that this report prepared by a secular group actually falls short of the real picture - a picture vehemently denied by Church officials

...the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) predicts that a Global Positioning Satellite system (GPS) failure could have drastic consequences? (1)

The business and national security implications of a Global Positioning Satellite system failure would be too enormous to bear, and as a result, the prediction made in a recent U.S. Government Accountability Office report is unlikely to come to pass, a Gartner research analyst who follows the industry told TechNewsWorld on Wednesday.

The GAO reports in a May 7 study that the U.S. Air Force, which is responsible for acquiring and launching satellites for the system, may not be able to move quickly enough to replace satellites expected to begin failing after 2010.

Technical problems and scattershot oversight have delayed the launch of the first next-generation GPS satellite by almost three years, the report notes. It is now scheduled for November.

Fewer satellites would make it more difficult for GPS devices to obtain the signals they need to precisely measure their own location, especially in challenging terrain.

The GAO report also notes that even a partial GPS system failure could have important military ramifications. Precision-guided munitions could lose accuracy, resulting in failed missions or injury or death of innocent bystanders.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  Shhhh.... don't read the above aloud lest the US enemies hear about it....

Do you realize that both Russia and the PRC are also aware of that and could exploit it whenever they decide to do so? They have proven many times how they can breeze through our "super secure" computer systems from the outside.  Imagine what they could do with "inside plants". Do you think that Robert Philip Hansen (2)  was the last counter spy that our security services had?

Friends, understand that the "party" will start only when God decides since the resources and targets abound.  It is not a matter of waiting until "they" gain this or that technology. Therefore, in a case like this the best thing to do is to have a close relationship with the "party Band Director" - God! (3)  All else can be described using very graphic Texan terms, as: Hog wash! Make NO mistake.

....a senior Vatican official confided that “People (within the Vatican) feel disoriented, it’s a feeling common to both traditionalists and reformers. Our impression is that there isn’t anyone at the wheel.” ? (1)

In the hushed Apostolic Palace off St Peter’s Square,  Benedict XVI starts the day with a 7am mass in his private chapel, followed by a lone breakfast. No press summary is brought to him. He meets a few visitors in the morning and then, after a lunch served on gold-rimmed plates bearing his seal, retires to his study to write speeches and read theological works throughout the afternoon and evening.

His daily routine, as described by Vatican insiders, is being blamed for a series of blunders that have prompted a rare show of dissent from exasperated cardinals. Critics claim he is leading the church and its 1.2 billion faithful like a monarch cut off from the world outside his palace windows, helped only by loyal but inept advisers.

Giancarlo Zizola, a writer on Vatican affairs, said. “I expect the blunders will continue unless he decides to launch real reform of the way the church is run. Even in the Vatican you can’t just rely on the Holy Spirit.” 


The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  We do not know what kind of a writer Mr. Zizola is but, according to his closing statement, he certainly knows how the Vatican runs... not relying on the Holy Spirit....

....New York Times allegedly falsified the Obama-Netanyahu Meeting ? (1)


The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  The news report contains more hidden-between-the-lines information which should confirm to the -  Illuminated by the Holy Spirit of God - Faithful that we have been announcing for some time,  lies just around the corner.

and that....

...a damning report has revealed that the Roman Catholic Church was aware long-term sex offenders were repeatedly abusing children while working in Ireland's 216 church and state-run institutions? (2)

The investigation of the tax-supported schools uncovered previously secret Vatican records that demonstrated church knowledge of pedophiles in their ranks all the way back to the 1930s. (2a)

"I do genuinely believe that it would have been a further step towards our healing if our abusers had been named and shamed," said Christine Buckley, 62, who spent the first 18 years of her life in a Dublin orphanage where children were forced to manufacture rosaries — and were humiliated, beaten and raped whether they achieved their quota or not.

A government-appointed panel has paid 12,000 survivors of the schools, orphanages and other church-run residences an average of $90,000 each — on condition they surrender their right to sue either the church or state. About 2,000 more claims are pending. Irish Catholic leaders cut a controversial deal with the government in 2001 that capped the church's contribution at $175 million — a fraction of the final cost.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments: These confirmed revelations - which predate by thirty years  the traditional scapegoat, the Vatican II Council  - coupled with what happened in the US, still is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. It is our educated guess (no prophecy) that when the "closet doors" are opened in Spain and Portugal, we may eventually see a replay of the French Revolution (3),  with all the rank and file Catholics - mostly innocent and disoriented Faithful - "as the "stars of the horrific show".

Should we expect another "Where was God when this tragedy happened?" (4) from Benedict XVI ?

As we honor Our Lord and Our Heavenly Mother today we must think: If we are completely revolted by this, how must They feel?

 And.... can we really fathom the magnitude of well deserved Divine Justice that will result from all of that and more - known and unknown to man?

.....the "Great Notre Dame Flap" could have been avoided if careful attention would have been placed to, yes, the teachings of Jesus Christ?

What did Jesus say about "scandal"?

Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. [Matthew 16:23]


and

Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. [Matthew 18:7]


and what did Paul say about it?

Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumbling block or a scandal in your brother's way. [Romans 14:13]



Given the state of Evangelization of most Christians - not only Catholics but ALL Christians - which is primitive at best, the Administration of Notre Dame should have handled the Obama situation differently because they indeed have caused scandal - as scandal is defined above.

Not being that enough scandal, then we have men like Bishop Thomas Wenski (see May 4th posting on this same page) making a big splash in the news about offering a Mass of Reparation for sins against God resulting from said invitation. If he had quietly done so, we would have applauded it - we should be offering never ending Masses of reparation to God, but with the record of far too many members of the Hierarchy - Wenski's included - it is best to keep a low profile when pointing fingers.

We must ask: Isn't every Catholic University - Notre Dame included - under the Administrative guidance of the Roman Curia? Why didn't the Vatican then step in and avoid the scandal? Perhaps because the meaning of "scandal", Biblically defined, has eluded them for 1,600 years.

.....new scientific data from geneticists and archeologists at Oxford University confirms that a single tribe of around 200 people which crossed the Red Sea 70,000 years ago is responsible for the existence of the entire human race outside Africa? (1)

Research by geneticists and archaeologists has allowed them to trace the origins of modern homo sapiens back to a single group of people who managed to cross from the Horn of Africa and into Arabia.(2)  From there they went on to colonise the rest of the world.

While there are 14 ancestral populations in Africa itself, just one seems to have survived outside of the continent, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The latest genetic research has shown that it was not until around 70,000 years ago that humans were able to take advantage of falling sea levels to cross into Arabia at the mouth of the Red Sea, which is now known as the Gate of Grief.

If we had to single out one force that has been misused to trample on the inborn morals and sensitivity of humans, we would have no choice but to call it it "Hollywood" (1), which aided by television and worldwide instant communications, has, in essence, rendered the world numb to any and all atrocities against the human dignity.

Of course, if the Evangelization would have been carried out as Jesus intended it to be (2), neither  Hollywood nor Bollywood would have the impact it has had, however, the confused and disoriented children of God were the perfect prey for the works of satan regardless of the vehicle (3) he chose.

.....a certain priest has reinterpreted (read: Given a politically correct spin to) a key message from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel at Garabandal?

The message - translated to English - reads: "Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them."

The politically correct interpretation according to fr. Richard Gilsdorf now is (1): "Throughout the apparitions, Mary, Mother of the Church, underscored the supreme unifying authority of the papacy. The two roads we have spoken of, in the final analysis, are those of allegiance to the Pope or alienation from him. The Pope is the rock (2), [...] and all who dissent, even the highest pastors, are 'on the road to perdition...' "

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:   If we ignore the statement The Pope is the rock, fr. Gilsdorf's claim, on the surface, seems to hold water... yet is just another Vatican style colander. Using his logic, those who chose not to go along with some really "choice" Popes (3) went to hell dragging with them all those who would not go along with the Papal inclinations.

In addition, should the alleged consequences of Vatican II were implied as the reason for the "Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition", let us set the record straight.

The quoted passage is from the second and last message through Garabandal which was delivered by the Archangel Michael on behalf of our Heavenly Mother on June 18th, 1965. (4) The Vatican II Council was concluded on December 8th, 1965, (5)  and,  as we have explained elsewhere (6), the Vatican II Council was a last ditch effort to save what is known as "the Church" from what awaits it. (7)

What Our Lady meant - in no uncertain terms - was that those who teach by word or deed anything against the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ are on the road of perdition and are taking many souls with them. Popes included !

.....Maitreya's famous equivalent of the "Star of Bethlehem" now has tuned into four UFO'S?

We will not give you the site address because when we visited it, in response to an alert from one of our readers, our main computer was attacked by a hacking device which was blocked by our armor system. If you wish to risk visiting the original page, ask us and we will send to you the URL address.

However, we safely cut and pasted the Question and Answer part which covers their New and Improved "Star of Bethlehem" story. It follows:

Question posed to Share International by one of their readers

Q. Thanks for all of the great work that you have done so gracefully for so many years. I have one question that has been gnawing at my mind for several weeks: why have you been calling the light in the sky the star, while some of your regular readers know it is one or more UFOs?


It seems that many people would quickly become very confused by your references to ‘the star, especially after they look at the photographs (and accompanying text) on the Share International website that clearly indicates that it appears and disappears in a wide variety of different locations, colours, and forms, and that it moves around randomly (unlike any other star) like a spacecraft might.


To my mind calling it star, makes it all too tempting for the public (including all those who are open to UFOs), to dismiss the story as baloney. So, why not cut out the pretence and call it a UFO?


Response by Share International

A. There is no pretence. Knowing the nature of the star, as four gigantic spaceships from several planets of our System, I had great difficulty in deciding just how to present it to the general public and media. I decided to follow my Master's example. He had called it a star-like luminary of brilliant power, and related it to the star which led the ‘three wise men to the birthplace of Jesus. Some of us know that that star was a spacecraft too, but is accepted by millions as a miracle star.

It was just before Christmas so I called it a Christmas star, sure that that would be more interesting and magnetic than a prediction about a UFO. In Britain at least, people are much more sceptical of UFOs than in the USA, for example. Of course, at each lecture I make it clear that what looks like a star is, in fact, one of four huge spacecraft. In a lecture, one has time and opportunity to enlarge on the subject and the meaning and purpose of the phenomenon. In a press release or advertisement one is limited by space and the need to be succinct. The result from the public has been encouraging eager and excited and amazed by the sheer beauty of the spectacle. The response of the media has been almost nil, as if there was an embargo on mentioning something so important as the herald of the Christ. However, it could be that media interest is starting now. Thank you for your kind words.

Opus-Dei: Existence After Religion (TM) is an atheist-themed game (with no affiliation with the catholic organisation, “Prelatura del Opus Dei”) built around the world of philosophy, though no philosophical knowledge is needed to play, as it is a purely strategy-based game. (1)

It is a new entertaining and irreverent card game that takes place in a universe where religion is almost completely something of the past. In this world without religious dogma, the players represent rival “Zeitgeists” (German, Time-Spirits) competing in a battle of rational ideas to maintain ethics, morals and meaningful lives for all by virtue of reason!

Mind you - when this situation initially arose we had no suspicion whatsoever of foul play or mass manipulation, however, the concerted methodology directed at "let's panic" has raised a red flag for us.

It has finally dawned on us why the "let's panic" effort.... What we are seeing may very well be a world wide preparation effort by World Health Authorities for what is expected from Baxter's "mistake". Mexico may just be the handy scape goat.

No prophecy.... it is just a matter of connecting the dots with the "right Light".

Published on May 8th, 2009 [Mary, Mediatix of all Graces]

.....now we have another mediatic known face - thus a believable one by many of the disoriented and uninformed faithful - rewriting Fatima history?

Mr. Mark Mallet now claims that (1): Take a guess at which modern apparition banned priests from making pilgrimages to the apparition site? Fatima. It wasn't approved until 1930, some 13 years after the apparitions ceased. Until then, local clergy were prohibited from participating in events there.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:   Either Mr. Mallet knows that he is not stating the truth or he is so uninformed on the subject matter that he should not write about it, thus, creating further confusion amongst the disoriented faithful. Do keep in mind, however, that he is a Benedict XVI-phile (2) which may explain the stituation.

It has been clearly established through a number of approved publications (3) that...

In October, 1921:

The Bishop of the Leiria Diocese authorizes open air masses in the location of the apparitions for the benefit of the ever increasing stream of pilgrims visiting the area.  By this time he had already purchased over 125,000 square meters of the Cova da Iria for the future Sanctuary complex.

and...

On October 13, 1922:

With the approval, and under the supervision, of the Ecclesiastic authorities, the first issue of "Voz da Fátima" - the still current official Sanctuary news publication - was published. 3,000 copies were printed.

indeed...

By the end of 1929:

The Pastoral Letter that was published by Bishop D. José Alves Correia Da Silva solemnly declared that the Apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima from May 13 to October 13, 1917, were worthy of belief.  In this letter, the Bishop fully approved the cult of Our Lady of Fátima.

...but that was obviously a mere formality just like the official conclusion of World War II which took place in 1994.... (4)

On September 8, 1 9 9 4

The last of the Allied troops officially leave Germany. World War II is officially concluded.

.....world-renowned evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins (1) received an honorary doctorate from the University of Antwerp? (2)

This honorary doctorate is more important than most people in the English speaking world realize. Christianity is a state religion in Belgium and the separation between Church and State is not quite as strict as in the United States. As in Britain, Christianity is funded by the taxpayer, who has no say in the matter.

Furthermore, the Belgian royal family is fiercely Catholic. They are said to be members of both the Charismatic Movement in the Catholic Church and the more sinister Opus Dei. Although the Roman Catholic Church has officially accepted Darwin's evolution theory, it has not done so wholeheartedly. Since Richard Dawkins is also convinced that there is no God, he has not generally been accepted by the country's leaders.

As a consequence, this honorary doctorate and the interview are important news.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  Shouldn't Bishop Thomas Wenski (see posting of May 4th below) organize a Mass of Reparation on behalf of the Belgian Royal Family? Or... should Richard Dawkins replace President Obama as the speaker at Notre Dame since he has not been deemed offensive to the "fiercely Catholic"  Belgian State?

Brethren - this is how much fun satan is having with those who call themselves "christians" and how he is further confusing the poor believing souls who have been deprived of the nourishment of the true Word of God and the Blessed Sacraments. (3)

.....according to the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM), 10,000 people a day leave the Catholic Church and around 8000 each day convert to Protestantism? (1)

"The largest number of converted evangelicals come from the Catholic Church", Bernardo Barranco, a sociologist and religious expert, said.

Respected Belgian Catholic theologian and priest José Comblin told magazine Punto Final that Pentecostals were filling the vacuum left by the Catholic Church in the impoverished slums of Latin American. "The Catholic Church has abandoned the popular masses," he said. "In one of the Brazilian shanty towns where I live — with around 10,000 people — there are 84 Pentecostal chapels and three Catholic."

The late Pope John Paul II described the growth of Pentecostal Churches as an invasion of sects, and rapacious wolves who were robbing Latin America of its Catholic culture and destroying social cohesion. However, according to many observers, that Pope was himself one of the culprits behind the vacuum left by the Catholic Church among the poor.

The role claimed for itself by the Catholic Church as the "preferential option for the poor", was not part of John Paul’s narrative. Closer to spiritual conservative centre and right-wing upper-class movements such as Opus Dei and Legionaries for Christ...

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  "...an invasion of sects, and rapacious wolves who were robbing Latin America of its Catholic culture and destroying social cohesion." should be understood as "....endangering the safety of the Roman Catholic Church land holdings and bringing to an end blind obedience to man and disobedience to God."

....European scientists are finally beginning to speak openly of the real dangers posed by electromagnetic pollution generated by cell phones and all else that operates on a "wireless" mode? (1)

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: It is certainly worth much more attention than the fabricated flu scare that dominates the media and health organizations worldwide.

....Bishop Thomas Wenski  (1) of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando, Fla., will take the unusual step of celebrating a Mass of Reparation, to make amends for sins against God? (2)

The motivation: to provide an outlet for Catholics upset with what Wenski calls the University of Notre Dame's "clueless" decision to invite President Barack Obama to speak at its commencement and receive an honorary doctorate May 17.

The nation's flagship Catholic university's honoring of a politician whose abortion rights record clashes with a fundamental church teaching has triggered a reaction among the nation's Catholic bishops that is remarkable in scope and tone, church observers say.

At least 55 bishops have publicly denounced or questioned Notre Dame in recent weeks, employing an arsenal of terms ranging from "travesty" and "debacle" to "extreme embarrassment."

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: They will do anything except Evangelizing the disoriented faithful.

An organization who has had to pay out over 2.5 billion US dollars to cover the expenses associated with "the sex life" and "dating practices" of its members, should keep a low profile when it come to moral matters. It would be interesting to check the names of the 55 "offended" Bishops with the Dallas News list  (3) of sexual abuse promoters-by-default.... although that would be a moot point; after all, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is the very well known former San Francisco Archbishop-turned-into-Cardinal Levada.

....according to a latest survey conducted in the US, those who seldom attend Church are the ones who oppose  using torture to extract information from potential terrorists the most?

We have combined  the percentages reported in the survey data (1) of "Can Often be Justified" with those of "Can Sometimes Be Justified" and those of "Can rarely Be Justified" with those of "Can Never Be Justified" since the lines separating each pair of categories is a very fine and shifty one. The simplification of the survey results shows that:

The "Unaffiliated (to any religion)" had the lowest (40%) rating for torture being justified, with the Evangelical Protestants at the head with a 62 % approval rating, with the non-Hispanic Catholics weighing in at 51 %.

In the religious affiliation category - The general US population justified torture in 49 % of the cases.

When the classification was made on the basis of frequency of attendance to weekly religious services ("at least weekly"; "monthly or a few times a year"; and "seldom or never"), we find that only 42 % of those who "seldom or never" attend religious services justified the use of torture, while 54 % of those who do attend services at least on a weekly basis can justify such un Christian behavior.

Why should we be surprised....?  It was the church going people and their leaders who burned the alleged witches and heretics and not all the way around.

....Colombia's President Uribe, an Opus Dei adherent, visited the Vatican on April 30th? (1)

Uribe was seeking the Pope’s opinion on the political realities of the country. This meeting occurred against the backdrop of Catholic bishops declaring Uribe's second re-election to be antidemocratic and after calling the government to work on a humanitarian exchange with the FARC.

These developments made this meeting all the more interesting. Although, the debate, promoted by the Justice Minister, centered more on the appropriateness of clergy to opine on politics than the content of such comments.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments:
This is an excellent example as to why Escrivá wanted a Personal Prelature which would report directly to the See of Peter. The logic? Opus Dei places their man on the Chair of Peter and, through that link, they will control the rest of the Hierarchy of the Church which is subject to the man occupying the Chair of Peter - without legitimacy but... by now... who cares?

....the chances of being notified eight days before the Garabandal (1) announced Miracle takes place are quite slim?

In a statement (2) found in The Workers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, dated June 2008 we read:

7. Will I receive notice by email of the Eight Day Announcement?  (question posed in the FQA)

Yes. God willing, it is our intent to relay the Eight Day Announcement via email. You must register your email address at our website, www.garabandal.us, to receive email from us.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:   As we have written before (3), since the enemies of God within the Vatican know specific dates given through Garabandal, we cannot expect God to honor them and allow His enemies to use the announced spectacular events to manipulate His already much disoriented children.

But let us assume that they were not changed and that the dates  given to some of the Garabandal visionaries are still current - we then must consider the following:

(a) The Miracle (4) comes after the Warning and the Warning (5) will come after some very grave events have taken place in the world. The chances for the Internet, as we know it, being operative is quite slim.

and

(b) Conchita has been silenced by the Vatican for years. Do you think that the same Vatican that sold the world to satan by allowing World War II (6) is going to allow Conchita to announce the Miracle?  That would only be possible if they learned their lesson at the time of the Warning and the conditions that must apply so that the Gates of Hell do not prevail upon the Church  (7) have been fulfilled.

We suggest the establishment of a working and intimate realtionship with the Holy Spirit of God instead of counting on that email.
