Unbelievable! Now in attendance before an ultimate sacrilege....a Cardinal? What are they.....naive, silly 13 year old boys who still want to prove something about their worldly "experience"? Catholic-themed Met Gala includes bondage mask with crosses There was plenty to make Timothy Cardinal Dolanblush at the Met on Monday — and that was even before some of the world’s sexiest stars strutted their bodice-busting “Sunday best’’ on the red carpet. A leather bondage mask draped in rosary beads, a jeweled bustier with its gems strategically placed and a fuschia gown inspired by cardinals’ robes — with a neckline that left its mannequin’s breasts mostly exposed — were all part of the Catholic-themed fashion exhibit at the Met Gala, and Dolan had already gotten a sneak preview of the collection. “You may be asking what is the church doing, why is the church part of all of this?’’ Dolan acknowledged to reporters during a morning press conference, hours before he was set to attend the racy fashion bash. “You may be asking, what is the cardinal archbishop of New York doing here? I asked that when I was invited several months ago,’’ he said jokingly. “But think about it just for a moment. It’s because the church and the Catholic imagination — the theme of this exhibit — are all about three things: truth, goodness and beauty. That’s why we’re into things such as art, culture, music, literature and, yes, even fashion.’’ The event’s honorary chairs were Rihanna, Amal Clooney and Donatella Versace. Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, who co-chairs the annual charity gala, was among the first to arrive. She wore an off-white beaded Chanel gown — with a cross necklace for her accessory. Clooney hit the red carpet with actor hubby George, who joked that the lavish, billowing, rose-printed train on his wife’s couture outfit was big enough to hide their twins under. SEE ALSO 116 Hollywood descends upon the Met Gala The gala’s guest list this year included Cardi B, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and even Elon Musk. The star-studded crowd was set to be entertained by Madonna, whose strict Catholic upbringing has famously been a major theme in her music. This year’s party was more extravagant than ever thanks to a $5 million donation from Blackstone billionaire Stephen Schwarzman, one of the archdiocese’s biggest financial supporters. There also was unprecedented security, sources said, given some of the historically priceless exhibits, which include many Vatican items that have never been out of Rome. Other items on display include secular religious-inspired couture. The exhibit’s curator, Andrew Bolton, said guests were asked to wear their “Sunday best.’’ “It’s an implicit plea to dress somewhat more modestly,” Bolton quipped to The Associated Press.

18:10 mark he lays it all out. Notice everything is "universal" now. The push is on to severely limit what is said on the internet, there can be no opposition which is not ridiculed and shamed publicly. I like these video's, right up to the point that a Protestant gets on stage and begins hypothesizing about the end times and Antichrist or the Beast. Having been a Protestant for so many years I simply can not understand how anyone can take these men seriously. I don't know how I managed to for so many years.
Soros-backed group offers app to help illegal aliens avoid deportation By Jennifer G. Hickey May 4, 2018 2 Comments https://immigrationreform.com/2018/05/04/soros-backed-group-offers-app-help-illegal-aliens-avoid-deportation/ What if an enterprising organization developed a smartphone app that would allow an individual to warn other drunk drivers in the area about that DUI checkpoint? There is not an app for that yet, but there is a new tool which helps illegal aliens avoid contact with Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) agents. The open borders non-profit, United We Dream is responsible for Notifica, which boasts that it as the “first app to prepare you and your family against deportation.” But behind the 40,000-member “immigrant rights” group is the National Immigration Law Center and radical left-wing billionaire George Soros. United We Dream was launched in 2008 by NILC, which itself has received funding from Soros’s Open Society Foundations to help finance their legal advocacy for immigrants. According to the conservative legal group, Judicial Watch, NILC also received a series of grants from the Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs between fiscal years 2008 and 2010. According to government records obtained by Judicial Watch, NILC received at least $206,453 in grant money from the same agency whose mission they are actively obstructing. The Notifica website claims is simply lets users “get in touch quickly with the people you trust most” before or after an engagement with ICE, but United We Dream’s website speaks to the real goal – to hinder federal agents from enforcing U.S. immigration law. “The difference with Notifica is planning is in the hands of individuals, so if something does happen, they activate a network that is ready to support them, and we’re not dealing with the structural challenges of creating panic in immigrant communities by just deploying thousands of notifications that say, ‘Hey, ICE is outside,’” Adrian Reyna, an illegal immigrant who serves as United We Dream’s director of membership and technology strategies, told the Daily Dot. The group’s website, however, provides a more transparent recitation of their goals. It is to empower “local communities to defend their rights, stop unjust deportations, and combat the ongoing collaboration between local police and immigration authorities.” “We will no longer allow our communities to be daily targets of a racist and for-profit detention and deportation machine,” the United We Dream website continues. By alerting other illegal aliens to your last known location, the app is a tool to obstruct ICE from carrying out their mandated duty to enforce the law. Strip away the mask of technology and this app is essentially a phone version of Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf – ready to tip off anyone in the area to the presence of ICE. Migrant caravan: All but 10 Central Americans now admitted to U.S. to apply for asylum 5/4/2018 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...nt-caravan-all-but-10-now-admitted/583250002/ "The caravan started off with an estimated 1,600 people, the majority of them women and children from Honduras. But by the time it reached Tijuana, the number had dwindled to around 300." [My comment: These 300 people are attempting to enter the USA the legal way. I wonder how many of the other 1,300 people are attempting to enter illegally because there are many who are doing just that by scaling the existing wall.] Reports: Soros funding border caravan invasion Tuesday, May 1, 2018 Michael F. Haverluck (OneNewsNow.com) https://www.onenewsnow.com/culture/2018/05/01/soros-funding-border-caravan-invasion Leftist billionaire George Soros is funding the well-organized anti-Trump migrant caravan invasion from Central America that has been hitting the United States-Mexico border in defiance of immigration enforcement. Several major ultra-liberal foundations and corporations have supported the asylum-seeking migrant caravans, and Soros’ funding has been tied to several groups that have spearheaded the “refugee” invasion coalition – also dubbed “the Soros Express.” “The caravan is organized by a group called Pueblo Sin Fronteras, but the effort is supported by the coalition CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project, which includes Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLIN), the American Immigration Council (AIC), the Refugee and Immigration Center for Education and Legal Services (RICELS) and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) – thus the acronym CARA,” WND reported. “At least three of the four groups are funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.” Former AILA President Victor Nieblas Pradas is behind the Soros-led caravans and contends that detaining mothers and their children who break into the U.S. illegally is inhumane, unfair and unjust. "There is simply no humane way to detain families,” Pradis declared in an AILA announcement. “Asylum seeking families should be given due process, not expedited removal – and the end of the road must be the end of family detention entirely." continued...
continued from above... Soros in cahoots with big-time leftist players on immigration With the CARA coalition being officially announced last week, it was also reported by WND that other groups financially supporting the northbound Central American migrant caravans through Mexico include the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation and the MacArthur Foundation. It was also stressed that there are deep ties between this left-wing activism attacking the border and corporate and foundation sponsorship, as Pueblo Sin Fronteras has been recognized as a member of the National Day Laborer Network – a group affiliated with United for Justice and Peace, Caravan Against Fear and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. “Alex Mensing is one of the organizers of the Pueblo Sin Fronteras group, [who is] serving as an official spokesman at the border,” WND informed. “While identifying himself as a paralegal at the University of San Francisco’s Immigration and Deportation Defense Law Clinic, he also works with CARA [and] regularly briefs leftist website and magazine Mother Jones – also a major recipient of Soros grants.” The financial and political connections between Soros and the radical pro-immigration activist group was revealed last month. “After following the money, it becomes clear where Mother Jones’ agenda lies,” Big League Politics (BLP) divulged last month. “A report from CNS News shows that Mother Jones has received immense funding from George Soros through the Foundation for National Progress, which has received over $1 million from George Soros.” His interference with national borders is challenging numerous governments’ customs policies so that he can unleash his global mass-immigration movement, which is being countered across the globe. “George Soros has a clear incentive for groups like Pueblo Sin Fronteras flooding into the United States,” BLP’s Luke Rohlfing added. “He has been pushing for more open immigration laws around the world, resulting in him being condemned by world leaders.” Dems uniting with Soros to push pro-immigration platform Cash-strapped Democrats are grateful for Soros’ deep pockets, as elected officials are happy to forward the billionaire’s anti-Trump, pro-immigration agenda. “The Democratic Party links are also in strong evidence, [as] earlier this month, Oregon’s Democratic Governor Kate Brown accepted a contribution to her re-election campaign from Soros – his first direct involvement in that state’s elections,” WND noted. “Three days later, Brown announced the Oregon National Guard would not be participating in President Trump’s effort to get the Guard providing border security.” Oregon Republican Chairman Bill Currier pointed out the leftwing conspiracy masterminded by Soros and funded by his deep pockets. “Kate Brown has consistently ignored problems facing everyday Oregonians and has instead used the office of governor to make herself a national left-wing celebrity,” Currier contended, according to WND. “Now, Brown is cashing in and taking big campaign donations from notorious leftist puppet master, billionaire George Soros.” Writing checks to mobilize the invasion of Western democracies to alleviate the so-called “refugee crisis” is something Soros has been doing for years. “Soros pledged Sept. 20, 2016, to invest up to $500 million in programs and companies benefiting migrants and refugees ‘fleeing life-threatening situations,’” WND recounted. Soros’ agenda works hand-in-hand with Pueblo Sin Fronteras’ initiative, which was formed to give preferential treatment to migrants – above and beyond that given to long-established citizens of numerous nations. “We will invest in startups, established companies, social impact initiatives, and businesses started by migrants and refugees,” Pueblo Sin Fronteras declared in an official statement obtained by WND. “These investments are intended to be successful, but our primary focus is to create products and services that truly benefit migrants and host communities. I hope my commitment will inspire other investors to pursue the same mission.” In fact, the very name, “Pueblo Sin Fronteras” – translated “People Without Borders” from Spanish – is derived from the group’s objective of “abolishing borders” – which was highlighted by the group when the caravans to the U.S. border started in March. “We are a group of people from different nations, religions, genders, gender expressions and sexual orientations migrating and seeking refuge,” the organization’s March 23 press release stated. “We seek to become one collective, supporting each other shoulder to shoulder and demonstrating that by uniting, we can abolish borders.” The caravan continues … About 20 U.S. attorneys traveled across the U.S.-Mexico border to Tijuana over the weekend to give 400 Central American caravan migrants free one-on-one legal workshops, with some already illegally entering the U.S. to test Trump’s tough-on-immigration policies. Corroborating Trump’s promise to uphold U.S. immigration laws, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M. Nielsen assured American citizens that the administration has been tracking the San Diego-bound caravan with all due diligence. “DHS continues to monitor the remnants of the ‘caravan’ of individuals headed to our Southern border with the apparent intention of entering the United States illegally,” Nielsen announced last week. “A sovereign nation that cannot – or worse, chooses not – to defend its borders will soon cease to be a sovereign nation. The Trump Administration is committed to enforcing our immigration laws – whether persons are part of this ‘caravan’ or not. If members of the ‘caravan’ enter the country illegally, they will be referred for prosecution for illegal entry in accordance with existing law. For those seeking asylum, all individuals may be detained while their claims are adjudicated efficiently and expeditiously, and those found not to have a claim will be promptly removed from the United States.” Soros-led population shift Soros has been busy over the past year using his billions of dollars to shift the world’s populations and set up his agenda across the globe. “Last fall, Soros transferred $18 billion to the Open Society Foundations – the network of non-profits Soros uses to advance his globalist, borderless ideology both in the U.S. and around the world,” WND recounted. “The massive transfer – which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal – is roughly equivalent to the gross domestic product of Afghanistan, according to World Bank data. It is seen as a way for the 89-year-old Soros to avoid the estate tax – also known as the death tax – which penalizes large inheritances.” And Soros’ repopulation legacy will not die out once he passes away. “Inside Philanthropy reported in 2016 that Soros – who has said that he considers himself to be ‘some kind of god’ – began laying the groundwork for the foundation to continue his mission after he dies,” WND recalled. “Hacked Open Society Foundation documents published last summer shed light on the way in which Soros has used his foundation to advance progressive, open-borders policies – both domestically and abroad.” Anti-law enforcement and anti-Trump groups inside America’s borders have also been funded by Soros, who has a long-established track record of attacking conservatives and biblical values. “In the U.S., his foundation has provided funding for the Black Lives Matter movement and open borders activists,” the independent Internet daily continued. “The foundation has also provided funding to anti-Trump ‘resistance’ groups, funded opposition research on critics of radical Islam and attempted to influence Supreme Court rulings.” It was also noted that next to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Soros’ foundation is the largest philanthropic organization in the U.S., as former President Barack Obama was noted to also have ties with the influential billionaire. “Earlier this month, Judicial Watch obtained 32 pages of records showing the Obama administration sent U.S. taxpayers’ funds to a group backed by Soros, which used the money to fund left-wing political activities in Albania, including working with the country’s socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial ‘reform,’” WND added. “The records also detail how the Soros operation helped the State Department review grant applications from other groups for taxpayer funding.” The government watchdog organization was able to access the records after utilizing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) via a lawsuit it waged against the State Department and the U.S Agency for International Development. “The new documents show USAID funds were funneled through that agency’s Civil Society Project to back Soros’s left-wing Open Society Foundations in Albania – particularly the Soros operation efforts to give the socialist government greater control of the judiciary,” WND explained. “USAID reportedly gave $9 million in 2016 to the ‘Justice for All’ campaign, which is overseen by Soros’s ‘East West Management Institute.’” Numerous “refugees” slated to enter Israel, Italy and Hungary have also reportedly been funded through migrant programs financially backed by Soros.
AP May 8, 2018, 8:22 AM https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-military-wives-threatened-by-russian-hackers-posing-as-isis/ Russian spies posing as ISIS threaten to kill military wives' families, evidence shows In this Monday, April 9, 2018, photo, Angela Ricketts poses with a screen shot of a message she received from a group claiming to be Islamic State supporters, in Bloomington, Ind. Russian spies masqueraded as Islamic State supporters to threaten vocal spouses of U.S. military personnel, including Ricketts, The Associated Press has found. Michael Conroy / AP PARIS -- Army wife Angela Ricketts was soaking in a bubble bath in her Colorado home, leafing through a memoir, when a message appeared on her iPhone from hackers threatening to slaughter her family. "Dear Angela!" the Facebook message read. "Bloody Valentine's Day!" "We know everything about you, your husband and your children," the message continued, claiming that the hackers operating under the flag of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants had penetrated her computer and her phone. "We're much closer than you can even imagine." Ricketts was one of five military wives who received death threats from the self-styled CyberCaliphate on the morning of Feb. 10, 2015. The warnings led to days of anguished media coverage of Islamic State militants' online reach. Except it wasn't ISIS. The Associated Press has found evidence that the women were targeted not by jihadists but by the same Russian hacking group that intervened in the American election and exposed the emails of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta. The brazen false flag is a case study in the difficulty of assigning blame in a world where hackers routinely borrow one another's identities to throw investigators off track. The operation's attempt to hype the threat of radical Islam also presaged the inflammatory messages pushed by internet trolls during the U.S. presidential race. Links between CyberCaliphate and the Russian hackers - typically nicknamed Fancy Bear or APT28 - have been documented previously. On both sides of the Atlantic, the consensus is that the two groups are closely related. But that consensus never filtered through to the women involved, many of whom were convinced they had been targeted by Islamic State sympathizers right up until the AP contacted them. "Never in a million years did I think that it was the Russians," said Ricketts, an author and advocate for veterans and military families. She called the revelation "mind blowing." "It feels so hilarious and insidious at the same time." "Completely New Ground" As Ricketts scrambled out of the tub to show the threat to her husband, nearly identical messages reached Lori Volkman, a deputy prosecutor based in Oregon who had won fame as a blogger after her husband deployed to the Middle East; Ashley Broadway-Mack, based in the Washington, D.C., area and head of an association for gay and lesbian military family members; and Amy Bushatz, an Alaska-based journalist who covers spouse and family issues for Military.com. Liz Snell, the wife of a U.S. Marine, was at her husband's retirement ceremony in California when her phone rang. The Twitter account of her charity, Military Spouses of Strength, had been hacked. It was broadcasting public threats not only to herself and the other spouses, but also to their families and then-first lady Michelle Obama. Snell flew home to Michigan from the ceremony, took her children and checked into a Comfort Inn for two nights. "Any time somebody threatens your family, Mama Bear comes out," she said. The women determined they had all received the same threats. They were also all quoted in a CNN piece about the hacking of a military Twitter feed by CyberCaliphate only a few weeks earlier. In it, they had struck a defiant tone and suspected that CyberCaliphate decided to single them out for retaliation. "Fear is exactly what - at the time - we perceived ISIS wanted from military families," said Volkman, using another term for the Islamic State group. Volkman was quoted in half a dozen media outlets; Bushatz wrote an article describing what happened; Ricketts, interviewed as part of a Fox News segment devoted to the menace of radical Islam, told TV host Greta Van Susteren that the nature of the threat was changing. "Military families are prepared to deal with violence that's directed toward our soldiers," she said. "But having it directed toward us is just complete new ground." "We Might Be Surprised" A few weeks after the spouses were threatened, on April 9, 2015, the signal of French broadcaster TV5 Monde went dead. The station's network of routers and switches had been knocked out and its internal messaging system disabled. Pasted across the station's website and Facebook page was the keffiyeh-clad logo of CyberCaliphate. The cyberattack shocked France, coming on the heels of jihadist massacres at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket that left 17 dead. French leaders decried what they saw as another blow to the country's media. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said evidence suggested the broadcaster was the victim of an act of terror. But Guillaume Poupard, the chief of France's cybersecurity agency, pointedly declined to endorse the minister's comments when quizzed about them the day after the hack. "We should be very prudent about the origin of the attack," he told French radio. "We might be surprised." Government experts poring over the station's stricken servers eventually vindicated Poupard's caution, finding evidence they said pointed not to the Middle East but to Moscow. Speaking to the AP last year, Poupard said the attack "resembles a lot what we call collectively APT28." Russian officials in Washington and in Moscow did not respond to questions seeking comment. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied masterminding hacks against Western targets. "The Media Played Right Into It" Proof that the military wives were targeted by Russian hackers is laid out in a digital hit list provided to the AP by the cybersecurity company Secureworks last year. The AP has previously used the list of 4,700 Gmail addresses to outline the group's espionage campaign against journalists , defense contractors and U.S. officials . More recent AP research has found that Fancy Bear, which Secureworks dubs "Iron Twilight," was actively trying to break into the military wives' mailboxes around the time that CyberCaliphate struck. Lee Foster, a manager with cybersecurity company FireEye, said the repeated overlap between Russian hackers and CyberCaliphate made it all but certain that the groups were linked. "Just think of your basic probabilities," he said. CyberCaliphate faded from view after the TV5 Monde hack, but the over-the-top threats issued by the gang of make-believe militants found an echo in the anti-Muslim sentiment whipped up by a St. Petersburg troll farm - an organization whose operations were laid bare by a U.S. special prosecutor's indictment earlier this year. The trolls - Russian employees paid to seed American social media with disinformation - often hyped the threat of Islamic State militants to the United States. A few months before CyberCaliphate first won attention by hijacking various media organizations' Twitter accounts, for example, the trolls were spreading false rumors about an Islamic State attack in Louisiana and a counterfeit video appearing to show an American soldier firing into a Quran . The AP has found no link between CyberCaliphate and the St. Petersburg trolls, but their aims appeared to be the same: keep tension at a boil and radical Islam in the headlines. By that measure, CyberCaliphate's targeting of media outlets like TV5 Monde and the military spouses succeeded handily. Ricketts, the author, said that by planting threats with some of the most vocal members of the military community, CyberCaliphate guaranteed maximum press coverage. "Not only did we play right into their hands by freaking out, but the media played right into it," she said. "We reacted in a way that was probably exactly what they were hoping for." © 2018 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

This is proof positive that there are some incredibly desperate people doing everything they can to keep the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA narrative front and center. It is quite laughable really. Notice how it is aimed specifically toward women? Casting fear and doubts as to their peace and most of all their families security. Get back in line Mamma Bear! How dare you think for yourself. We will tell you what to think, wear, believe, worry about, fear, worship, and how to keep your family safe. Vote Democrat! Blue wave 2018!!!
I was thinking while I was away how Protestantism is a bit like competing in car race without a car. In the Church we have the Sacraments and sacramentals for instance so I think Catholics have great booster rockets to their spiritual life.. I gaze interestedly at people who have just received communion and I can see quite clearly that they are lit up, full of light and grace. Also I think Protestantism is all about individuals, Catholicism is about family, about community. There is no doubt which is better, the Holy Trinity itself being family. In terms of Catholic and Protestant Prophecy we like a racing car that drives round on a set circuit. We have Mary as Queen of Prophets, we have the Prophecies of the Saints, we have the guidance of the Church. We are on the tracks of the race course. We may have our own little squabbles about this and that ; but basically we are reading from the same hymn sheet. Protestants on the other hand are driving a cross country course without a map. Who knows where they will end up. Anywhere...and they do. As to the Ministers I am afraid it is a case of the blind leading the blind as far as Prophecy and much else goes. For which reason I am afraid I tend to avoid it as a poisoned well. It is not fashionable to write like this. But if all Faiths are true, well then no Faith is true. However there are exceptions. I had loads of time for Billy Graham. But Billy never went into wild prophesies much , God rest him.
Soros Drops $1.5 Million in San Diego for Far-Left District Attorney Candidate Geneviéve Jones-Wright appeared on Soros-hosted panel at dark money donor conference May 8, 2018 5:00 am Liberal billionaire George Soros has pushed $1.5 million into San Diego's district attorney race to support a far-left candidate who spokeon a panel hosted by the liberal billionaire last year at the left's biggest dark money donor conference. Soros, who has been funding district attorney races across the country in his attempt to reform the criminal justice system, on May 3 deposited $1.5 million into the California Justice & Public Safety PAC. The committee was established to support Geneviéve Jones-Wright, the Democratic candidate and deputy public defender in the county. The PAC is run by Whitney Tymas, a longtime treasurer of Soros PACs. The PAC disbursed $194,884 on television ads, $100,000 on digital advertising, and $107,575.60 on campaign literature and mailings in recent days, campaign finance records filed in San Diego County show. Summer Stephan, the current district attorney in San Diego, is highlighting Soros's influence on the race, launching a website to draw attention to Soros's involvement. The website, ThreatToSanDiego, states that "anti-law enforcement $$$ is coming into San Diego." The site, which features a number of quotes and positions from Jones-Wrights, includes a quote from Soros that he has "always harbored an exaggerated view of self importance" and fancied himself as "some sort of god."

Don_D, So you think that the Democrats were behind this? You don't believe what the article has stated, "Russian spies masqueraded as Islamic State supporters to threaten vocal spouses of U.S. military personnel, including Ricketts, The Associated Press has found."? and "Proof that the military wives were targeted by Russian hackers is laid out in a digital hit list provided to the AP by the cybersecurity company Secureworks last year. The AP has previously used the list of 4,700 Gmail addresses to outline the group's espionage campaign against journalists , defense contractors and U.S. officials . More recent AP research has found that Fancy Bear, which Secureworks dubs "Iron Twilight," was actively trying to break into the military wives' mailboxes around the time that CyberCaliphate struck." The article also states the following, "The AP has found no link between CyberCaliphate and the St. Petersburg trolls ["an organization whose operations were laid bare by a U.S. special prosecutor's indictment earlier this year"]...." . Both CyberCaliphate and the St. Petersburg trolls are Russian (cyber) spy groups, although they may not be connected. This story was featured on One America News today, btw.
One interesting thing from Protestant sources, in Near Death experiences, how often they speak of seeing a place that it, quite clearly, Purgatory.
I admire the way you said this padraig, I am afraid I am not well suited to it. I think about Protestantism on the whole as a movement which from the very beginning went so very horribly awry that it is impossible for me to look favorably on it. I know that I should not decry anyone who acknowledges Christ and does works in His name. It is certainly not my place to do so. I find that the treasures of the Church in the Sacraments and the teachings and traditions handed down to us from God through the Fathers of the Church are so supernatural and heaven sent that I simply do not see how anyone can refute them who has honestly and without an attitude of contempt prior to investigation looked on them with a genuine love of God in their heart. In the US we have a President who is having hands placed on him in prayer regularly by Protestant Dominionists.
Well I suspect if I was a Protestant I would not stay the course to heaven. I find more and more as I get older that my entire life revolves around the mass and the Eucharist. As time goes on and the night gets darker I think we will find that they are not sustained by Protestant belief. That they will need a port in the storm and that port ids the Church; as St John Bosco foretold in his famous, 'Dream of the Two Pillars'.
Was in holiday in Sorrento last year and got a bus ride through Naples seemed to take forever - it is a huge metropolis

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/c...rk-fashion-show-blaspheming-blessed-mother-po Catholics outraged over New York fashion show blaspheming Blessed Mother, pope, priests Catholic, Met Gala NEW YORK, May 8, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – A New York gallery displayed sacrilegious renditions of the Blessed Mother, the Vicar of Christ and included other assorted blasphemous images in a so-called Catholic-themed fashion exhibit that included some 40 liturgical vestments from the Sistine Chapel sacristy on loan from the Vatican. 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,' was the theme of this year’s annual fundraising gala for New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, and also the theme for the Met’s largest exhibition to date. Many Catholics, however, saw the Met Gala event as “blasphemy.” Rihanna dressed as a pope, Katy Perry dressed as an angel, and Victoria's Secret model Taylor Hill dressed as a cardinal at the 2018 Met GalaTwitter “A leather bondage mask draped in rosary beads, a jeweled bustier with its gems strategically placed and a fuchsia gown inspired by cardinals’ robes — with a neckline that left its mannequin’s breasts mostly exposed — were all part of the Catholic-themed fashion exhibit at the Met Gala,” PageSix.com reports. Outrage Innumerable photos chronicling scandalously dressed celebrities at the gala have saturated social and other media since the gala, followed by endless commentary from all quarters and some pushback from offended Catholics and others. “My religion is NOT your damn #MetGala outfit! #blasphemy,” one tweet captured in a Yahoo News report said. My religion is NOT your damn #MetGala outfit! #blasphemypic.twitter.com/CjJOiCCNj2 — Silent Claws (@DankDasha) May 8, 2018 The report detailed some of the various get-ups at the event, including pop music performer Rihanna in a pope-themed outfit that included a strapless, groin-high jeweled dress, oversized cape and matching miter. Father Richard Heilman, priest for the Madison, WI, diocese and author of RomanCatholicMan.com, shared a photo of the vocalist in a Facebook post. He noted with a tinge of humor the irony of celebrities and the fashion world commandeering the Catholic Church in such a manner on the heels of a high school student recently being excoriated on social media for her choice of a traditional Chinese dress for prom. “PONTIFICAL APPROPRIATION,” Father Heilman’s post stated. “My ... how they hate Catholics ... ahem ... I meant, "Strong Catholics." Good thing it wasn't a dress from China, because .....” “It’s a shame that the Metropolitan Museum had to stoop so low just to raise funds for its Museum of Arts Costume Institute,” Susan Brinkmann wrote for Women of Grace. “With tickets running in the $30,000 a piece range, surely they can come up with enough money to fund their annual needs without disparaging the world’s largest religion with this crass display.” Brinkmann pointed it was both the contents of the collection and the celebrities’ outfits that were offensive. “Let’s get real,” Brinkmann said. “This show wasn’t about fashion – it was about a bunch of elites with very bad taste.” The Catholic author also included reaction from Catholics and others on Twitter in her post. “finding the met gala to be highly offensive heresy,” one tweet said, “wby … the bourgeoisie appropriating religious iconography is not acceptable and you wouldn't think it was if it were any religion bar Christianity…” “The met gala theme is lowkey disrespectful to the catholic religion let’s be real,” another said, and a third stated, “Imagine using my religion to do your fashion show … disgusting!” “I'm not even Catholic and find it offensive,” offered another. “It is a demonstration against Christians as a whole.” The controversy has also garnered coverage from Fox News, its report saying the theme was meant to be controversial, “However, some stars may have taken the theme a bit too far into the land of bad taste.” The cardinal was there New York’s Cardinal Archbishop Timothy Dolan attended the event and a preview press conference earlier in the day.
