7 priests, over 100 Catholics pray outside Satanic ‘black mass’ in Ottawa OTTAWA, August 19, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — Seven priests and over 120 Catholics prayed outside heavy metal bar The Koven Saturday night as a Satanic black mass took place inside. The Catholics met on the steps of Notre Dame Cathedral, about a five-minute walk from The Koven, where Ottawa’s Archbishop Terrence Prendergast and Auxiliary Bishop Guy Desrochers of Cornwall blessed them before they set out on their vigil, as reported in Catholicnewsworld. A number of people, other priests, and members of the Sisters of the Queenship of Mary...

The foundational rupture in the tectonic plates of Western civilization is the breakage along the fault line of truth. The very concept of truth as we have known and inherited it is a Judeo-Christian concept. Germany became a post-Christian nation after its seminaries and universities rejected the Scriptures as God’s perfect, revealed truth. The United States has become a post-Christian nation after its best seminaries and universities—founded as teaching centers for the Word of God—rejected Scripture as God’s perfect, revealed truth. As American culture drifts further and further from anything Christian, the pressure to abandon the authority of the Bible...

(Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday blocked Ohio from enforcing a new law that critics said would effectively ban most abortions in the state, starting as early as six weeks into pregnancy. U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett in Cincinnati issued a preliminary injunction against enforcing the “Heartbeat Protection Act,” saying it imposed an unconstitutional “undue burden” on a woman’s right to obtain a pre-viability abortion. The law was signed by Republican Governor Mike DeWine in April, following passage by the Republican-controlled state legislature, and was slated to take effect on July 11. It was designed to stop doctors from...

[Catholic Caucus] Catholic leaders who say hell is empty are basically calling Jesus ‘liar’ May 30, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – To suggest that hell is empty amounts to calling Jesus a liar, LifeSiteNews co-founder and editor-in-chief John-Henry Westen told a recent gathering of Catholic pro-life and family advocates in Rome. That hell contains human souls who have rejected God is established by the Lord in scripture and held by the Catholic faith since its beginning. “Jesus himself says to us, “Broad is the road that leads to destruction and many there are that go there,” said Westen. “And he said, “Narrow...

Catholic historian: Satanic revolution against Church, Christian civilization is happening now ROME, Italy, May 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Renowned Church historian Roberto de Mattei told attendees of the 2019 Rome Life Forum today that they are living “in an anti-Christian era” but that they have a duty to hope and to work for the restoration of the Church amid the “globalization of chaos” carried out by those striving to erect the diabolical City of Man over and against the City of God. Professor De Mattei’s lecture, delivered in his native Italian, was titled “The Two Cities in History: Mysterium Iniquitias: From...

THIS amateur photographer’s prayers were answered when she snapped this perfectly-timed picture of what appears to be Jesus Christ with his arms out. Monica Aramayo was in San Salvador de Jujuy in Argentina when she noticed the holy figure shining through the thick clouds.

In The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis suggested that we make two mistakes regarding the devil. One is to give him more authority than he deserves—then he can do what he wants. The other is to deny that he exists—then he can do what he wants. People today typically think of Satan as a symbol of evil, wearing red tights and a tail, the stuff of Saturday cartoons. He’s just as happy to be ignored as to be feared. But it’s impossible to ignore his work: broken hearts and homes, abuse, disease, and immorality. Even those who do not admit...

[Catholic Caucus] Don Bosco’s most ferocious enemy From the writings of Don Giuseppe Tomaselli H/T Cordialiter Blog The Devil gets furious with those striving for their own spiritual perfection and so everyday he engages in a fight with them, tempting them towards evil; if he doesn’t manage today, he hopes to do so tomorrow; he knows the weaknesses of everyone and also how to exploit them, by driving people to impurity, hate or the abuse of God’s mercy.    But if he behaves like this with devout people, imagine how his furor is roused against those who bring souls...

Pope Francis has said that those who constantly criticise the Catholic church are “friends of the devil”. Speaking to pilgrims from southern Italy, the pontiff said that defects of the church needed to be denounced so they could be corrected, but that those who condemned “without love” were linked to the devil. “One cannot live a whole life accusing, accusing, accusing, the church,” he said. People who did, he said, were “the friends, cousins and relatives of the devil”. His remarks come as dozens of victims of clerical sexual abuse gathered in Rome ahead of an unprecedented Vatican summit on...

Lucien Greaves, co-founder and chief spokesperson for The Satanic Temple, expressed fear that Republican Vice-President Mike Pence’s religious views unfairly favor good over evil. “Under our Constitution all religious views are protected from discriminatory laws and policies,” Greaves asserted. “Yet, we see the Vice-President of the United States repeatedly speaking out against evil, which is the core tenet of our faith.” “Worse, antipathy to our faith receives routine support from the brainwashed majority of Americans,” Greaves complained. “We are a minority in need of the protections from the hostility of the majority. We are pleased that the New York State...

The shade Cuomo chose was a putrid pink that could be called Luciferian pink, a color that comes with an acrid odor of sulphur. The devil wears pink and it is more than certain that political pinkos are among his most favored people. The devil—who crawls into the woodwork by pretending that he doesn’t exist—dons pink pussy caps as he does dust-ups behind the scenes, stuffs his cloven feet into pink stilettos, plants pink petunias where only roses should grow, and on Monday night was singularly honored when New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had the One World Trade Center lit...

A sculpture celebrating Saudi Arabia’s place in the G20 Summit was erected on the World Trade Center grounds last week, a stone’s throw away from the 9/11 memorial. Shaped to resemble a piece of candy, the nine-foot-tall statue bears the Kingdom’s emerald flag emblazoned with the Arabic inscription, “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is the prophet.” It was created by French sculptor Laurence Jenkell in 2011 as part of the larger installation “Candy Nation” which depicts G20 countries as sugary delights, and has since been featured in over 25 countries. All 20 sculptures are currently on display...

Actor Christian Bale, in his Golden Globe award acceptance speech, decided to thank "Satan" in his acknowledgments, apparently for inspiring his portrayal of former vice president Dick Cheney in the movie Vice, as the Hollywood chi-chi crowd cheered.According to a report in Variety: Christian Bale had one unconventional figure to thank in his acceptance speech after winning best actor in a comedy or musical for "Vice" at Sunday night's Golden Globes. "Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration for playing this role," he said about his character of Dick Cheney in the political satire. Given that Satan amounts to absolute evil, it's evidence he re-created a cartoon character, not a living,...

Ok, Mr. Bale is now a publicly acknowledged Satan worshiper. No reason he shouldn't meet his maker in 2019. So sad. When all of this catches up to him, his excuses will ring hollow in his own ears. So long C.Bale

Biodynamic Agriculture. The Strange Magisterium of “L’Osservatore Romano” The United Nations conference on climate is coming up, to be held in early December in Poland, and the Holy See - or rather the pontifical academy of sciences headed by Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo - has already said its piece, hosting an international conference at the Vatican in mid-November on “Climate change, the health of the planet, and the future of humanity,” and entrusting to the Malthusian economist Jeffrey Sachs the task of dictating the new “decalogue” of salvation: enough with the coal, enough with the oil, enough with the gas,...

How to Recognize Demonic Activity in the Church Scandals, According to an Exorcist “By sexually abusing children, Satan desires to destroy the icon of the kingdom of God.” Patti Armstrong “Who is going to believe you?” It is the devil’s taunt, according to exorcist, Father Gary Thomas.

The National Catholic Register says singer Celine Dion has gone to the “dark side” with a newly announced line of clothing for children that is “gender-neutral” black and white and features images of skulls. A news service described a new ad in which “Dion pulls out a handful of black sparkles and blows them into the air causing all the pink and blue outfits to become black and white gender-neutral pieces.” Ezra Levant of Rebel Media posted a video commentary in which he said the clothes “are as ugly as you’d think.” “For one thing, they have lots of skulls....

WASHINGTON -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who said she has no doubts she'll be elected speaker of the House by her colleagues, said in her first interview since Election Day that she's proud to be branded "a San Francisco liberal... as that, the San Francisco values of St. Francis of Assisi, which I'm proud to be an instrument of God's deed." Pelosi told CNN that she intends to bring for a vote initiatives that have enjoyed bipartisan support in Congress but haven't been brought to the floor by GOP leadership, including protection for DREAMers, comprehensive immigration reform, gun...
