“I am the gentleman responsible for the filming of the whole thing,” said Anthony Gonzales, chief of the
Gonzales said he knew that he knew that the archbishop was going to be at the Most Holy Redeemer parish in the heart of the “Homosexual Street Fair” to be a “part of the celebration” of their immoral life-style, so I sent one of my men to see what the archbishop was going to do and film it.
Gonzales said that it has gotten to the point that “We can’t take our children to Mass any more. We can’t even go to our churches,” he said. “We want the Roman Catholic faithful to return, and are sick and tired of having to deal with these faithless men (referring to the archbishop and church leaders like him as well as civic leaders) who are our leaders. They come into positions of power because of other homosexuals, or are at least promoting them into positions of power.”
Speaking of the archbishop, Gonzales went on to say: “This guy has got to know he can’t continue to get away with his actions. He has played dumb before.” “He says that he didn’t recognize the two gay men dressed in drag coming up to receive Communion in clown makeup!”
The archbishop described the event which took place on Oct 7th as routine. He said: “The congregation was devout, and the liturgy was celebrated with reverence. I noticed no demonstration, no protest, and no disruption of the Eucharist. At Communion time, toward the end of line, two strangely dressed persons came to receive Communion. As I recall, one of them wore a large flowered hat or garland. I did not recognize either of them as wearing mock religious garb.”
But Gonzales, along with several other Church members, said that such incidents have long been occurring at the church and very likely the archbishop knew about them. “We are going to be submitting all of this information to
A spokesman for the archdiocese, Maurice Healy, said that the archbishop has a policy of reaching out to “those people”, but Gonzales disagreed, saying: “They don’t reach out to that community to call for repentance, healing and reconciliation with Christ. Instead they say “this is your life-style and we are here to give you approbation.’”
Gonzales said the incident with the gay group, “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence”, was the last straw. Gonzales said that Catholics in

The Devaluation of Life:
This once great nation has become warped, and it started with Roe v. Wade. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in an increasingly fatherless society. Children, the greatest gift, are now looked upon as being competitors, an inconvenience and an intrusion into peoples lives.
We often hear that America, along with most of Europe is facing a crisis of an aging population with not enough younger people entering the work force, and that is why we and Europe need an influx of millions of legal and illegal immigrants to work. The truth is that legalized abortion has been the cause of the shortage of workers. We are killing off generation after generation before they even have a chance to be born.
In 1970 a
This ruling implicitly permitted abortion on demand at every stage of pregnancy. Its judgment inhibited all regulation of abortion during the first three months of pregnancy, and during the second and third trimesters regulated it only in relation to the mother's physical or mental health.
Last year, Planned Parenthood and a host of independent "clinics," protected by federal alcohol and gambling racketeering laws, gave birth to fourteen healthy little children 8 -to- 9 months old. They also stabbed them in the back of the head and suctioned-out their brains. This barbaric practice is called “Partial Birth Abortion” and it done every day in the
A bill passed by Congress allows a partial-birth abortion to be performed if necessary to save a women's life. But pro-abortion groups and President Clinton also demand an exception for "health" abortions - a huge loophole that would allow partial-birth abortions for "emotional well-being" or "depression."
The late Dr. James McMahon, who performed abortions on all of the women who Bill Clinton paraded before the public when he vetoed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban testified that only 9% of the 2,000 partial-birth abortions he performed involved "maternal health" [the most common being "depression"]. Another 56% were for "fetal flaws," ranging from trivial to grave; the most common being Down Syndrome. Over one-third involved neither fetal nor maternal indications, however trivial - in other words, "elective".
Dr. Martin Haskell, who has performed over 1,000 partial-birth abortions, said that he performs them "routinely" for non-medical reasons, and that 80% are "purely elective." Medical experts testified before congressional committees that it is never necessary to kill a baby that has been almost entirely delivered to preserve the life or health of the mother.
"Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them." [Romans 1:32]
The number of legal abortions in the
Since Roe, an activist judiciary propelled by interest groups using the courts to remake the social order has rendered opinions or laid the groundwork for an assault on the primacy of the family, a revision of the nature of economic and social liberty, and assault on the sanctity of life, and an abandonment of the rule of law itself. These activist judges have pushed their godless battle over infanticide, euthanasia, fetal experimentation, RU-486, and the so-called "right to die" and physician assisted suicide - all of which attack the sanctity and value of life.
Over the past twenty four years, abortion has ended the respect Americans once had for human life. Not only has this loss of respect had a profound impact on the euthanasia and health care debate, but I believe it has also had an impact on crime: if ending human life is acceptable before birth, why isn't it acceptable afterwards?
Abortion is not merely a bad choice or ethically unwise; it is a sin. Christians should actively expose and oppose it as a moral stain on our country. In a democracy where citizens have the right to vote on its laws and leaders, Christian citizens should by all means participate in the political process. God, help us not to be neglectful of our duty to speak out boldly on something so important!

If you feel, as I do, that the Senators whom we elect to represent us, have become champions of anarchy and have gone too far, then please pick up your phone and call your two U.S. Senators and DEMAND that they commit to a NO VOTE on cloture tomorrow on Senate Bill S. 2205.

My Words:
Folks, this is a very serious and urgent problem, and those, whom we have elected, both to the House and to the Senate, continue to ignore the will of the people who have elected them. I cannot help but think that these Representatives and Senators feel that they are in office to protect the rights of illegals rather than the rights of those who elect them.
I could be wrong, but I am beginning to believe that the whole intent of Washington is to allow this country to become over run with illegals to the point that we, the citizens will just cave in and allow the North American Union to take place, meekly without raising an out-cry because we will feel “what the heck, there are so many illegals here now that there is nothing we can do so why not just accept the North American Union”.
People, this is our country and if you believe that it is worth fighting for, I urge you to please make those calls NOW.

While I was bouncing around the blogosphere earlier today I stopped by “Casting Pearls Before Swine” (Which I often do), and read Mark’s posting of “A Christian Defends Atheism”, an article that deals with the Elian Gonzales case. When I went to his comment section, I read the following comment left by Mark’s “resident Liberal” commentator by the name of Dan Trabue:
Quoting a paragraph from Mark’s post, Dan said:
[“I find it incredible that any Christian would support forcing a child or any one else, to live in a society where Christianity is illegal and often punishable by death.”]
Trabue then went on to say:
“And I find it incredible that any Christian would advocate taking a child away from his father-and breaking the law in the process-short of any real evidence that the father is abusive or being coerced into asking for his return.
Where do you draw the line? Should you come and “rescue” my children from my house so that they are not raised under my influence because you disagree with me?
You guys are living in a nightmare world based on fear and hatred. Get out into the light of day and smell the clean air of reason and morality, fellas.”
It was the last part of his comment (in bold print) which led me to leave a comment of my own, which I have since decided to use as my “Monday Madness” post. It is as follows:
Abouna said:
What morality are you speaking of Dan? Since when are liberals moral? It is a joke when liberals claim to be Christian. Since when is snuffing out the life of an unborn child moral? Since when is two or more men, getting it on with each other, moral? Since when is two or more women ‘doing each other’ moral? Since when is handing out contraceptive pills, patches and condoms to eleven year olds, especially without the knowledge or consent of their parents, moral? Since when is polluting the minds of children with liberal filth and ideology moral? Since when is withholding food and water from a comatose patient moral? I’m sorry, but Jesus never did and never would support or condone any of that. I sniffed your “Fresh Air” of what you call morality and it made me wretch.
All countries or regimes that have stamped out religion and proclaimed God dead have never produced a happy or healthy society. Any time a State or head of State sets themselves up as god, it only leads to immorality and complete depravity among the populace, or a society of people who go about their daily lives in complete hopelessness. And because they have no hope for a brighter and better tomorrow, their sunrises are as bleak and dark as their sunsets. If

How any liberal can be truly happy once they have managed to convince themselves that there is no right or wrong, good or evil, and that whatever seems right is ok to do, is beyond me? But if that is how they want to live, then at least let them have the common sense and decency to do so in the privacy of their own homes and leave the rest of us, especially our children, alone. Stop trying to infect the rest of society with their virus filled liberal garbage.
Ms. Reno was wrong on this one, much as she was on many other cases.
Where Has All Our Greatness Gone, Long Time Passing?
I find it hard to proclaim that
To say that
This was a whole different country from its founding, through the period of the Industrial Revolution, and all the way to about 1963. During all that time,
Back in 1835 Alexis d’Tocqueville, a French statesman, came to
So, what went wrong between 1835 and today? In the early 1960’s, our schools decided throw out the non-sectarian prayer that the students started each school day with. The prayer, which asked for the blessings of Almighty God on our country, our government leaders, our teachers and our parents, was deemed to be a violation of the Constitution, so we kicked the Almighty out of our schools. As a result, those of us who were alive at the time, got to witness the most violent and bloody assassination of a
All of this led to the next warning to America, when we witnessed the burning of our country as the result of the worst race riots in the history of our country spread from city to city all across America. Still we refused to mend our ways and get back to the decent moral values this country had been founded on. Rather than turn back to decency and morality, our Supreme Court legalized abortion and instituted “No Fault Divorce” which led to the further erosion of the traditional family and the respect for human life. Our public schools began teaching “Values Clarification”, which led to the further breakdown of the family and in respect for parents and all authority because the schools were teaching kids in the 8th and 9th grades that their parents had no right to instill their moral values into their children, that the children had the right to set their own moral values. Along with this, the students were taught that there was NO right or wrong. If something seemed right for you, then it was right for you to do it. As a result of this, we began to witness our children get more and more out of control and educational standards began to slip even further.
As the morals of our society eroded ever more, God slapped us with another warning to try and get our attention, and that was the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS with people becoming infected and dying by the hundreds. Our society denied the fact, despite indisputable evidence that AIDS was introduced and spread in this country, first through the abomination of homosexuality (in the beginning and for the longest time, it was called the homosexual disease) and then it entered the general population through infected blood supplies and sharing of infected needles of those doing illegal drugs. Instead of speaking out against homosexuality, our society began to embrace those who practiced and lived such a vile and unnatural life-style, to the point that today, homosexuals, transvestites, etc., are held in high esteem, while those who speak out against such abominations are treated with scorn and are accused of being hate mongers.
A large part of the problem is that our churches have lost their way. They have allowed themselves to fall victim to the pressures of political correctness that was put on them by the secular progressive, humanist liberals. The Church of Jesus Christ (All denominations and sects) has become timid about its witness and message. Today, one is hard pressed to find a church that preaches repentance, personal responsibility or even right and wrong, good and evil and morality. Today, the churches, in order to keep their pews and collection plates full, have turned to preaching “feel good” motivational messages, a false gospel, instead of the word of God. Instead of repentance the vast majority of Protestant churches preach a “name it and claim it” message that has people believing that God owes us the best of everything just because we are here.
The Catholic, Anglican (especially the Anglican) and even some Orthodox Churches are drifting so far away from the true Gospel teachings, so that today there is very little resemblance to the Church that was handed down to us from Jesus Christ and the Apostles. Today, abortion, homosexuality, lesbianism, adultery, promiscuity, etc., have all become acceptable. Just last week, when Dennis Miller, a Roman Catholic and self-proclaimed conservative, appeared on the O’Rielly Factor, he chastised the Pope for calling homosexuality an immoral and unnatural life-style, stating: “How can the pope say such a thing in this day and age that we live in, when homosexuality is widely accepted.” So I guess that if immoral, sinful behavior becomes acceptable, then it is no longer sin.
Today, we are witnessing our once great nation decline into a cesspool of moral and ethical corruption. As large corporations and our elected officials push for more and more globalism and one freed trade agreement after another, we lose more and more of the manufacturing jobs that made this country great and that gave us a high standard of living. Then our government refuses to secure our borders against the millions of illegal immigrants that are flooding into our country every year, many of them being aided and abetted by our own citizens, including our own churches. Our elected officials along with many priests and ministers then tell us that these illegals are entitled to free education, free medical and dental care along with lower in state college tuition, low income housing and food stamps, and that it is the duty of the American citizens to pay for it all through their tax money.
Our standard of living is going down as more and more American citizens lose good paying jobs, and more and employers of what few good jobs we have left, are hiring more and more illegal and legal immigrants because they are willing to work for far less money and no benefits. Then we are lied to by our elected officials about how unemployment is at an all time low and how we need millions more legal and illegal immigrants to fill the jobs that Americans won’t do. Sure Americans won’t do them because the employers either don’t want to pay a living wage or the employers just won’t hire Americans at all because they can get the immigrants to do the jobs for little or nothing. The number of unemployed Americans is NOT down. Only the number of Americans who are still eligible for unemployment insurance benefits is down.
Today, we have thousands upon thousands of these illegals flooding our country with violent street gangs and illegal drugs from coast to coast. We have them raping and killing our children and our police officers with impunity, turning our prisons and our borders into revolving doors, while the majority of our elected officials and religious leaders remain silent. Our government officials allow atheistic groups to bash Christianity through art and despicable immoral displays, often even forcing the taxpayers to foot the bill for these displays by offering grants to these groups. And as anything Christian is allowed to be bashed and/or banned, many of our publicly funded colleges and other institutions are bending over backwards to accommodate Muslims in this country so that they can have their prayer time in our public schools, while the Christian and Jewish taxpayers are forced to pay for the Muslims foot washing basins to be installed in our colleges, elementary schools and even places of business. And while this is happening, our president(s) and other elected officials are holding secret negotiations with foreign leaders to sell out our national sovereignty and rush us headlong into a One World Government without the consent of WE THE PEOPLE.
As a result of all of this ungodliness, our country is losing its national identity and our American way of life. Yet our churches remain silent. Our President and his Secretary of State are forcing
As our government turns more and more against God, and as it and our society continues to elevate immorality, homosexuality, abortion, divorce, adultery, promiscuity and the pornification of our society and the degradation and sexualization of our children to a place of prominence and respectability, God is removing more and more of His blessings and protections from this land. You don’t believe it? Just take a look at the sorry state of education in this country, take look at the drastic loss of jobs, and take a look at the ever increasing ferocity and number of storms and natural disasters hitting this country every year, from floods, tornados, hurricanes, and drought, forest and wild fires to landslides. Not to mention the ever increasing recall of foods due to contamination along with the sudden spread of the antibiotic resistant viruses.
If you look at
In our smug self-righteousness, we try to kid ourselves that the same thing could never happen here. How wrong we are.
As we lose hope in any kind of bright future, we lose our very identity as human beings and when this happens, life itself loses its meaning and we sink into moral depravity. This in turn, leads to depression, just look at the number of people in this country today who are on all kinds of medications because of anxiety, bi-polar disorders, attention deficit disorder, etc. When depression, anxiety, fear, poverty or whatever, robs us of hope, it also robs us of our very identity of who and what we are, beings created in the image of God. God never intended for us to live without hope. It is the Christian faith that gives us hope and it was this message preached in our Churches that led Americans to be good, which in turn led
Some how, the churches have allowed, slowly at first, humanism, secularism, pluralism, multiculturalism, diversity, acceptance and political correctness to gain control. This control has become so complete that the churches, through fear and intimidation, no longer preach the gospel of hope and love through repentance of sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ and His gift of salvation. Instead we are taught that all religions and religious practices are equal for the salvation and edification of mankind. The end result of all of this has been the loss of hope in a brighter future, a loss of our true calling to bring hope to the world. As long as we maintained that calling, we were guaranteed that as individuals, as families and as a nation, anything we set ourselves to do would be accomplished, and not even the very gates of hell could prevail against the Church, the people of God.
But since the very Shepherds of Jesus Christ decided to stop teaching the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ, and since they decided to make deals with the Evil One, we have lost our calling, we have lost our hope, we have stopped being good and America has lost her greatness and now we are on the verge of losing America.
