  1. Meanwhile they're cheering on infanticide and slaughtering human life at its most delicate stage in order to supply the most "perfect" tissue of human organs. So most haven't noticed any new real concern about human life....esp. when it becomes a burden at any stage it is also to be euthanized.

    Human-animal hybrids to be developed in Japan after ban controversially lifted
    Supporters say research could be vital first step towards growing organs that can then be transplanted into people in need

    Human-animal hybrids are to be developed in embryo form in Japan after the government approved controversial stem-cell research.

    Human cells will be grown in rat and mouse embryos, then brought to term in a surrogate animal, as part of experiments set to be carried out at the University of Tokyo.

    Supporters say the work – led by renowned geneticist Hiromitsu Nakauchi – could be a vital first step towards eventually growing organs that can then be transplanted into people in need.

    But opponents have raised concerns that scientists are playing God.

    They worry the human cells could stray beyond the targeted organs into other areas of the animal, effectively creating a creature that is part animal, part person.

    For that reason, such prolonged experimentation has been effectively banned or gone unfinanced across the world in recent years.

    In Japan itself, scientists were forbidden from going beyond a 14-day growth period. But those laws were relaxed in March when the country’s education and science ministry issued new guidelines saying such creations could now be brought to term.

    Now, Dr Nakauchi’s application to experiment is the first to be approved under that new framework.

    "We don't expect to create human organs immediately, but this allows us to advance our research based upon the know-how we have gained up to this point," he told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.

    He added that he planned to proceed slowly, and will not attempt to bring any hybrid embryos to term for some years, rather growing the hybrid mouse embryos to 14.5 days, when the animal’s organs are mostly formed, and the hybrid rat embryos to 15.5 days.

    Such caution was welcomed by bioethicists in the country.


    “It is good to proceed with caution,” said Tetsuya Ishii, science-policy researcher at Hokkaido University in Sapporo. “It will make it possible to have a dialogue with the public, which is feeling anxious and has concerns.”

    Crackdown Coming? China Gathers Forces On Hong Kong Border Amid Unrest

    Chinese forces gathering at Hong Kong border, White House officials monitoring escalation
    The White House is monitoring the sudden gathering of Chinese forces at the border with Hong Kong, in a worrying sign of escalation.

    The White House is monitoring the sudden “congregation” of Chinese forces at the border with Hong Kong, according to reports, following another night of unrest and clashes between protesters and police.

    A senior US official who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity said a number of units had gathered, but it’s unclear if they are security police or part of China’s military, Bloomberg reports.

    It comes as Beijing accused the United States of inciting the increasingly unruly protests in Hong Kong, which began two months ago over a proposed extradition bill that could see citizens sent to the mainland.

    Since then, demonstrations have evolved into a statement against Beijing’s influence in the operation of the relatively autonomous region.

    Bloomberg cites the White House official as saying the US is watching China’s mainland border manoeuvres. Reports of the gathering of forces has sparked panic among Hong Kong locals on social media.

    Overnight, protesters in Hong Kong clashed with police once more, with several hundred people taking to the streets.

    The latest unrest was sparked by media reports that 44 people who had been arrested on Sunday would face a range of serious charges.

    Riot police armed with shotguns were photographed patrolling transit stations, with claims on social media that some pointed their weapons at unarmed demonstrators.

    Hong Kong Journalists’ Association also said police attacked journalists who were covering the protests, with a photographer hit in the head by a riot control officer’s shield.

    Just before 3am local time, several fireworks were set off, injuring six people — five of whom were taken to hospital for treatment.

    Last night’s unannounced protest follows demonstrations on Sunday that saw police deploy tear gas and scuffle with people who assembled in the streets.

    “Hong Kong police know the law and break the law,” protesters chanted as they made their way through the streets.

    The extradition bill that sparked the start of protests in June has been suspended, but opponents are now demanding it be scrapped entirely.

    This morning, supporters gathered outside a court in Hong Kong where more than 40 protesters are due to appear today.

    Growing ranks of Hong Kong’s typically conservative and publicity-shy bureaucrats have begun an unprecedented online dissent campaign against the city’s pro-Beijing leaders.

    Multiple open letters have been signed by hundreds of anonymous civil servants in the past week condemning the administration of city leader Carrie Lam and the police.

    A group of civil servants have also announced plans to hold a rally on Friday night — something unheard of from a demographic that usually eschews politics.

    The letters — accompanied by photos of civil servant identity cards with personal details obscured — bemoan Lam’s lack of leadership and refusal to compromise as her administration grapples with huge protests rocking the international finance hub.

    US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has urged China to “do the right thing” by Hong Kong.

    “With respect to Hong Kong, this is the people of Hong Kong asking their government to listen to them,” Mr Pompeo told reporters. “So it’s always appropriate for every government to listen to their people.”

    China hit back immediately, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying blaming America for the protests.

    “It’s clear that Mr Pompeo has put himself in the wrong position and still regards himself as the head of the CIA,” Ms Hua said.

    “He might think that violent activities in Hong Kong are reasonable because after all, this is the creation of the US.”

    The US, China and Hong Kong have not officially commented on the claims of Chinese forces at the border.

    Cardinal Cupich celebrates mass standing in front of crucifix that shows a gay man being embraced by a demon: https://www.gloria.tv/article/Q6dgitWT6tUG2jXNL8c8CxRKE

    [​IMG]
    Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, USA, published on Twitter the picture of a gay-themed crucifix.

    The photo was taken on July 28 during the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Parish St. Martha in Morton Grove.

    It shows Cupich presiding a New Rite Eucharist, surrounded by four co-presiders. Behind Cupich on the wall is the crucifix.

    It has the shape of the Saint Francis crucifix in Assisi and was produced by the self-declared homosexual Franciscan Brother Robert Lentz.

    Lenz painted on the crucifix a muscular naked man, gliding through the outer space towards the view so that only his head, torso and arms are visible. Behind him is the Milky Way and a dark demon with outstretched hands.

    Lentz called his crucifix "The Dance of Creation." The demon he interprets as wisdom which "dances and sings playfully in the background."

    Ok this is definitely strange, two more newly discovered asteroids passed by the Earth within one lunar distance - this makes four within a week. These two asteroids discussed below are smaller than the other two but I still find it a bit strange.

    By Associated Press | July 31 at 3:36 AM

    HONG KONG — School classes in Hong Kong were canceled and workers advised to head home early as Tropical Storm Wipha swept by south of the city on Wednesday, bringing heavy rain and winds of up to 95 kilometers (60 miles) per hour in some areas.

    The Hong Kong Observatory issued a Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal Number 8, on a scale of 10, in the early afternoon as winds strengthened.

    The observatory earlier advised members of the public with long or difficult trips home or who live on outlying islands to begin their journeys immediately. It said arrangements were being made for government workers in the Asian financial center to head home early.

    Wipha’s center was passing about 300 kilometers (186 miles) southwest of Hong Kong. It is forecast to barrel into the island province of Hainan and other parts of southeastern China before heading to Vietnam and Laos.

    This is why there will not be an abomination of desolation in a newly built third temple in Israel. The abomination of desolation will happen in the Catholic Church.

    It truly is horrible. Makes me wonder what the parishioners think; have they complained about this blasphemy? Perhaps there was an outcry, but nothing happened.
    I would be shopping for another parish, pronto.

    This is gross. But I’m more curious about this New Rite Eucharist. You can add as many words as you want to the Consecration, but once they change the words or omit them Transubstantiation will not happen. What is this New Rite Eucharist?
