....US officials flunk test of American history, economics, civics? (1)

US elected officials scored abysmally on a test measuring their civic knowledge, with an average grade of just 44 percent, the group that organized the exam said Thursday. Ordinary citizens did not fare much better, scoring just 49 percent correct on the 33 exam questions compiled by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI).

Comment:  Do notice - John Q. Public did better than the US elected officials. The only good part of this survey is that we now fully understand who has driven the great nation that the US was into the ground.

....the Bishops’ Conference of the Dominican Republic warned this week that the passage of a law on religious associations would generate serious risks, including the celebration of marriages by unqualified ministers and the creation of “make-your-own churches.”? (1)

One of these risks, the bishop's indicated, is “the possibility of celebrating marriages presided by ministers without sufficient preparation and experience, which would become a serious problem without the presence of a legal structure on which to rest such affairs, such as in the case of matrimonial law which is almost non-existent among religious denominations.”

Comment:  These poor individuals simply cannot grasp the reality that if they "offered a good product" - that is, the Good News as Jesus delivered them - all who are counted among the Elect in their area would flock to their Churches and "the other" would be the ones who would attend to those "make-your-own churches."  They are concerned about "celebration of marriages by unqualified ministers" - What about qualified ministers celebrating invalid marriages as we have clearly pointed out to their superiors?

Comment:  Could it be that God is making sure that "all the bases are covered" and "all His options are on the table"?  We would not lose sleep over it - it just seemed amusing in a type of humor matching the matter.

There are many, many valuable documents listed in those Indexes which you may have never seen.

....according to a professor at an Opus Dei university in Rome, young ecclesial movements are "new wine" for the Church, and there is still time to put them into "new wineskins" ?


Comment: When Jesus made that statement [Matthew 9, Mark 2  and Luke 5] His symbolism was: The Good News : the new wine ; and The new organization, the Church : the new skins.

Therefore, what they (they = Opus Dei) are saying is that the new ecclesial movements (new ecclesial movements = Opus Dei) is the new wine which is replacing the old wine, the Good News as delivered by Jesus Christ; and that from the magisterium of Benedict XVI will spring the new organization - replacing the Church as established by Jesus Christ.

Once again satan has served God well - the only problem is that the endemic and quasi universal blindness will not allow most of the Faithful to see what (2) and who (3) is right before their eyes. This is not new.... Mr. Gorbachev said on Portuguese National Television: "My time has not come yet" (4)  and no one caught on.

....the nation's Roman Catholic bishops vowed Tuesday to forcefully confront the Obama administration over its support for abortion rights? (1)

They do not learn, do they?

They can confront all they want, all whom they desire, and it will be to no avail - only when they realize that the problem lies in the failed Evangelization, the solution will dawn.

If those spiritually and intellectually challenged well fed and kept men would only review what Don John Bosco proved for over 40 years, (2) they will realize that non-political Evangelization can indeed change the world.

These men are living blasphemies (3) to the life giving Evangelium that our Lord Jesus Christ brought to humanity.

....the key message in the story about the widow's mite is not that she gave all she had, but that she gave from her want?

We read:  For all they (the rich) did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living. [Mark 12:44]

The clue of the real message of universal reach lies at the beginning of the verse. When we give from our excess - where is the sacrifice? We must give of what we do not have extra to spare. This principle is applicable to anything we may offer to God - whether is labor, intellectual ability, time and even pain.

To offer self inflicted pain, for example, has no value as compared to offering natural pain - physical or emotional that has come upon us as part of living.

To offer time that we may devote to leisure or to banal societal activities - has great value. To offer time because we may just be bored, has very little value before the Eyes of God.   The same logic can be applied to all.

It was too late for Pope Pius XII to do much about the Jews or the other fifty million people who died as the result of the disobedience of Benedict XV and Pius XI to the crystal clear and confirmed orders from Heaven (2).   The blood of millions upon millions of our brethren is upon their head and upon the head of all Roman Catholic Church Administrators who have obstructed Divine Intervention required to compensate for the failed Evangelization of the Roman Catholic Church.

...an indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. The indulgence is plenary  each day from the 1st to the 8th of November; on other days of the year it is partial.  (1)

Let us give a break to our brethren in Purgatory - many of whom have no one praying for them. Human rights activists worry much about individuals serving lengthy sentences in earthly prison; they may even run a campaign to shorten the sentence or obtain a parole. Let's emulate these human rights activists in the supernatural domain and bring joy and relief to the many souls who are waiting to finally go Home to the Father.

We have the consolation to know that those in Purgatory are serving a just sentence since God is Perfectly Just, but.... let's be charitable and, while acknowledging the just sentence, invoke His Divine Mercy  (1) upon them by practicing this beautiful devotion.
