Pope Benedict XVI Resignation

For the first time in 600 years, a Pope of the Roman Catholic Church is retiring, rather than die in office.  Pope Benedict XVI has decided that he is too frail and weak to lead the good fight against the secular wolves in the world, as well as the wolves inside the Vatican.  This great man, who survived the Nazi terrors of his youth (he deserted the Nazis after he was forcible drafted), and who is the greatest theologian in the history of the Church, will now be a prayer warrior in a monastery inside the Vatican. For sure, the devil is trembling at that prospect.  God, in His infinite wisdom, chose a loyal son of Germany to hold the keys to His Kingdom in these last days, almost 500 years after an apostate heretic son of Germany, Martin Luther, confused the world of Christianity forever.

Pope Benedict XVI has numerous accomplishments in his 8 year reign as supreme Pontiff:

• Fixing the homosexual priest/altar boy scandal - He elevated the cases from the Diocesan level to the Vatican level, so that bishops could no longer cover up the crimes of their buddies in the priesthood (Cardinal Mahoney was famous for doing this), AND he has prohibited young men who have homosexual tendencies from entering the seminaries (Archbishop Weakland, formerly of Milwaukee, actually encouraged this practice). As a result, the number of new cases of priest attacks on altar boys is practically non-existent.

• Setting up the Anglican Ordinariate - Now, Anglicans who are repulsed by the activities of the Anglican Church can become Catholic, and bring their high-church rite with them.  Married Anglican priests can now become Catholic priests, and bring their wives with them, although they cannot ever remarry, should the wife die, and they cannot become bishops.

• Reaching out to the SSPX  - Pope Benedict XVI has really tried his best to reunite the apostate SSPX in France, but for the most part, the SSPX has not responded in kind. The SSPX has bishops who believe the holocaust never happened, and their leader, Bishop Fellay, has said that the Jews are the enemy of the church. The SSPX does not believe that Vatican II was a valid conclave, inspired by the Holy Spirit. They believe that Vatican II is not in line with the sacred Tradition of the Catholic Church which preceded it.  His outreach to these "traditionalists" may not bear fruit in his lifetime, but for sure, he did plant the seeds.

• Reinstituting the Tridentine Latin Mass - On July 7, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI, in his Motu Proprio, stated that any priest can say the Latin Mass WITHOUT the permission of his Bishop, should the laity want it. Previously, most bishops had relegated the Latin Mass to obscurity, either never having one, or having one said in the diocese in an out of the way place, at an inconvenient time.

• Fixing the erroneous Mass translation of the 1970 missal - The 1970 missal had huge errors in mistranslations, such as "and also with you" for "et cum spiritu tuo (and with your spirit).  Now, the Mass is being said per the original Latin text, not what some 1970 translator wished it would have said.

• His 3 books - Jesus of Nazareth - Are timeless gems of insight into the life of Christ, from the Bible.  They tie old testament propehicies (many of which are obscure to the average reader) to the life of Christ, which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.

• Reaching out to the Orthodox Church - Pope Benedict has reached out to the Orthodox Church, which bolted away from the Hole See of Peter in 1054.  After almost 1000 years of being separate, the Orthodox Church with its holy rites and 7 sacraments are almost ready to reunite, thanks to the efforts of Blessed John Paul the Great and Pope Benedict XVI.

In spite of all of this, there are many cretins in the world today who DEMAND that Pope Benedict XVI be arrested and tried for the crimes of 2% of his priests in the homosexual altar boy scandal. Well fine. Let's also arrest President Obama for all of the crimes of all of the servicemen under his command, and hold him accountable for rape and sexual harrassment, which is so prevalent in the US military today!   Then, let's arrest Hillary Clinton for the 4 deaths at Benghazi, which happened under her watch as Secretary of State!

May God bless this great man, the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI! 

 

Guns

There has been lots of talk about gun control and banning guns since the school slaughter in Connecticut.  But there is this thing called the Constitution, which guarantees the citizens of this country, the USA, to keep and bear arms. This provision in the Constitution was not put in there by our founding fathers to ensure the right of citizens to hunt and kill their own food. It was put in there to keep the Bloody Brits from enforcing their evil will against the citizenry of our country. Of course, early settlers did use their guns to protect themselves from Indians and outlaws, as well as to kill bears and wolves.  But without a doubt, the right to keep and bear arms was put in our constitution to ensure the domestic tranquility, and to make sure that foreign despots, and American despots as well, could not have their way with us.

Now, the Vatican has weighed in on banning guns, and they are for it.

Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Saturday that 47 religious leaders have appealed to members of the U.S. Congress “to limit firearms that are making society pay an unacceptable price in terms of massacres and senseless deaths.”

“I am with them,” Lombardi said, in an editorial carried on Vatican Radio, lining up the Vatican’s moral support in favor of firearm limits.  “The initiatives announced by the American administration for limiting and controlling the spread and use of weapons are certainly a step in the right direction,” Lombardi said.  “People cannot fool themselves that it is enough to limit the number and use (of guns) to impede in the future horrendous massacres like that of Newtown that shook the conscience of America and world, as well as that of children and adults. “

With all due respect to the Reverend Lombardi, he doesn't know what he is talking about. The problem in the US isn't too many guns, it's too many crazy people having access to these guns. If gun control was the answer, Chicago, which has strict gun control laws, wouldn't have any gun murders, but instead, Chicago is the gun murder capital of the USA! This just in...Crooks don't obey laws!  But they will prey on law abiding citizens who do! 

Gun manufacturers are looking into fingerprint recognition for triggers, that would prevent anyone but the owner of a weapon to fire it. in the case of the Connecticut shooting, the deranged son of a female gun owner stole her weapons, shot her, and then went on his shooting spree at school. Had these guns come with trigger fingerprint recognition, he would not have been able to fire them.

So how big a threat is the government of the US becoming totalitarian if the citizens are disarmed?  Using the DHS color code, it is a code red. The President and the democrat party are already infringing on religious liberty by mandating everyone pay for abortion and contraceptives. This is just the tip of the iceberg.  Now that they control our health care, they will soon not pay for more than one child per family. But they will pay for abortions.  These crazed people truly believe that there are too many people on planet earth, and the fewer the number of people, the better it will be for mother earth. We've already seen Bill and Melinda Gates, lib democrats, pushing birth control in Africa.  And that's just a start.

Once the citizenry is disarmed, they will have their way with us, especially since they now control our health care, with the IRS being the enforcer of our forced health care plan.  There is a plan to control the people in this country and the world, and we have Representative John Dingell, Michigan, to thank for letting us in on their plan.
