The Brave New World - Freedom of Speech for all ... except those who disagree with us!

+
JMJ

In reality the principle of separation of Church and State is a principle that separates the state from reality.

Just label something as a 'religious' opinion and suddenly it is banned from public life.

Scientifically we know that a Fetus (latin for Baby) is a human baby from a human father and mother.

We know that killing innocents is murder

We know that abortion is the deliberate pre-meditated killing of an innocent and is therefore murder.

To slice through the gordian knot, we just have to science based decision making and recognised legally that a baby in the womb is a human being.

Then the fantasy house of cards will come tumbling down.

An Apple with a Bitter Taste

August 11, 2019
Source: fsspx.news

On July 1, 2019, Apple’s information platform removed the contents of the LifeSite channel, without any prior notice. The pro-life media responded by launching a petition that collected more than 20,000 signatures in just 24 hours.
Woe to the one who does not share the values ​​of the Apple: LifeSite, an American pro-life news site, learned on July 1, 2019 that all of its content was removed and blocked from the Apple News application.

Apple News is the world's first news and information application with more than 5 billion articles read per month, according to Apple CEO Tim Cook. This platform offers a selection of articles from the headlines of the press that meet its ideological standards: promotion of globalism and the fight against all forms of discrimination.

LifeSiteNews is accused of intolerance by Apple because this Christian site defends natural morality and does not participate in the propaganda favoring of homosexuality. John-Henry Westen, its editor in chief, stated that Apple’s decision is “frightening” from a “rather left-oriented” society that censors conservative views even when shared by a majority of citizens .

To fight what he sees as “blatant censorship of freedom of expression,” LifeSite launched an online petition that has collected more than 20,000 signatures in twenty-four hours. As of the 1st of August there were 35,000 signatories.

The petition yielded results. On August 6, 2019 the Apple News team informed LifeSite that they have “re-evaluated” its channel. LifeSite's channel and articles are once again available on the Apple News application.

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

 + JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them.   I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest.  This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis?  When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due.   This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Homily vs Sermon

+ JMJ Something that I've noticed is that Modern Catholics use the phrase 'Homily' instead of 'Sermon'. I've often wondered about this difference. Here's what I found Catholic Encyclopedia (1910) Homily: ...Since Origen's time homily has meant, and still means, a commentary, without formal introduction, division, or conclusion, on some part of Sacred Scripture , the aim being to explain the literal, and evolve the spiritual, meaning of the Sacred Text.  ... Wikipedia Sermon: : A sermon is an oration , lecture , or talk by a member of a religious institution or clergy . Sermons address a scriptural, theological, religious, or moral topic, usually expounding on a type of belief, law, or behavior within both past and present contexts. Elements of the sermon often include exposition, exhortation, and practical application.   Catholic Encyclopedia (1910) Sermon: As to preaching at the present day, we can clearly trace the influe...

Becoming Traditional Catholic Part I

+ JMJ It is a big step from the non-Traditional to Traditional Catholic World. First of all, the Trad world is much smaller, isolated and under siege. This leads to a number of interesting elements that a person making the transition needs to take into account. The Trad World Is Smaller It is a fact that in the states there are about 30,000 Traditional Catholics who support the SSPX and about 3,000 in Canada.  The other Traditionalit orders (FSSP, ICK, etc), I assume, are in the same ball park if not smaller. Let put that in perspective, in my area there are 270,000 non-Traditional Catholics. Consequently, aside from the larger centers,  a Traditional 'Parish' or Mass Centre will be 200 people or less. This has the advantage of being like an extended family and cozy. It has the disadvantage that any crazy 'uncles' in that family will be in plain sight. Be forewarned that any eccentricity that would be drowned in a sea of people in a non-Traditiona...
