I agree Miker. Everytime I hear a poll on what Catholics think about contraception, etc and these polls seem to alway be in the majority for being against what the Church stands for, I just say, "so what!!" It does not matter what the majority may feel on an issue. Our world right now is so clouded by the things of the world and these lies and agendas that people just feel that what Jesus stood for and what the church has stood for for 2000 years needs to change to get with the times. Well the "times" are all of self and the world. The "times" are of the enemy of christ and the church. The ''times" are the era of the devil and not the era of God....for now. This is what the enemy wants and sadly it appears for now he is winning in people but that is for now. So many in these polls feel the church needs to get with the times but I stand by saying that it is the times that need to get with the church and with God for he has and will never change despite what people feel is the popular agendas and lifestyles of the day. Catholics for choice?? How sad. What choice? The choice to kill the most innocent and defenseless of all. Oh how this enrages me but I have to stay calm. Out of all the sins and all the horrible things we humans can do to one another, nothing hurts my heart more than the choice to kill the most innocent. And further the thought of those people in the world defending this choice to murder for their own conveinence. It saddens me to the point of complete rage, to the point where I would be like Peter in the garden picking up a sword to defend Our Lord. Oh how I want to pick up a sword and defend these most innocents but know that this is not the proper coarse. The sword I will use will be the greatest weapon we have, the rosary. My heart aches for the screams, cries, blood and terror of the most innocent little ones, little souls. May your judgment and Kingdom come soon my Lord so this great offense will cease.
Padraig, I know the Producer of this movie "Child 31- Mary's Meals " Joe Campo,(who's Catholic ) he told me how Russel Crowe got behind this documentary,and has had such a positive effect on awareness. I was so moved by this documentary ,I donated,lol. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/celebrity/gerard-butler-writes-1000-cheque-3289718 Mary's meals:
The children are so beautiful Glenn. I have been trying to put aside a little money over Lent and before to send onto the White Fathers. In the face of this it seems so little, may God forgive me, it seems so little. May God grant me the grace to give, much, much more. I can see why the Pope is so insistent on helping the poor. He has actually seen it first hand.
Padraig, If everyone thought "oh I can't give that much or enough to make a difference ", all charities would suffer greatly. They now have alittle over 800,000 contributors , imagine if another 800,000 people gave only a dollar a month, $800,000 more a month ! I figured it's always better to give a little ,than nothing at all. The amount is not important,only the caring enough to donate.
Pope to Obama: This gift isn't from the 'Pope' but from Jorge Mario Bergoglio http://www.romereports.com/pg156234...om-the-pope-but-from-jorge-mario-bergoglio-en
I felt guilty and a little depressed last night thinking about the video last night. But its maybe not a bad thing as it will make me make more of an effort. It must be wonderful to have a vocation working with the poor because on the last day if they ask the question ,'Lord when did we see you hungry and poor...?" they'll have a good answer ready. I am afraid my hands are almost empty, I must start filling them up, give, give, give. “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” ― Mother Teresa View attachment 1824

This moves me to tears. This may be the first time ever that we have seen publically a Pope go to confession. What an example. Oh my.
I reckon Pope Francis couldn't wait for them to leave. I'm glad he doesn't look joyful when flanked by such evil.
