98% of Catholic women use contraception a ‘damned lie’:
This is not about who does or doesn't contracept. Its about religious FREEDOM. The media talks alot about "liberal" Catholics and "conservative" Catholics. Its not about that either. Thats a "divide and conquer" technique and lots of folks seem to have fallen for it. They have us looking at each other rather than looking at the problem. Its about being CATHOLIC, or whatever else a person might be, and having religious freedom thats not confined to the church builduing but is allowable in the public sector as well. Its about FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE and being true to our religious beliefs. In polls like the above "they" poll x number of people and multiply the result to get a figure that "they" then present as real. All they need to do is pick what "they" know to be an area thats known for its lack of faith and ... There you have it. You can make any poll say anything that any group wants. But its STILL about FREEOM. And "they" are trying to take it away.
Survey: Catholics back contraception mandate at higher rates Catholic organizations might be battling the Obama administration over a new mandate on groups with religious affiliations to cover contraception in their health insurance plans, but a poll released Tuesday indicates that ordinary Catholics support the law at a higher rate than the general public. When asked by Public Policy Polling (PPP) if employers should be required to provide workers with health-care plans covering contraception at no cost, 58 percent of Catholic respondents agreed, compared with 55 percent of all respondents. And when the question was narrowed to whether colleges and hospitals with religious affiliations should be included in the requirement, Catholics continued to express more support than the general public. Fifty-two percent of Catholics said they should be held to the mandate, compared with 49 percent overall. While evangelical groups have been largely quiet on the matter, it was white evangelicals …
I would like to know how the above figures were arrived at. No one asked me. No Catholic I know is pro this HHS mandate. Everyone I've talked to, Catholic and/or Protestant, is against the whole thing. This sounds like a liberal media attempt to herd people into the direction they want us to go. Disinformation. Tell a lie in a believable way and folks begin to accept it as fact and take it for granted. We're being attacked on more fronts than just health care. We're being manipulated by the media as well. I don't believe it. I'll put my faith in God, His Church, the Bishops and God's people before I'll trust a liberal pollster's attempt at manipulation so we'll give up and give in.
Mother Angelica: How To Avoid Purgatory.
The truth is always simple. ;-) Simplicity ought never be confused with ease. Everyone ought to watch this, its a real blessing. 
Its All About Disposition. The Mass is capeable of Infinate Grace, the Grace of Our Divine LORD upon the Cross is made present. So why do we not come out of it levitating, because we are not disposed to the Grace. The Grace is there, but our free will blocks our greater sanctification.
And he said to him, ¨Arise, go thy way, for thy faith has saved thee.¨ Luke 17, 19. According to our faith it will be done unto us. Lord, please increase our faith. 
Keep it up, Father. 
In Spite of Darkness. A Spiritual Encounter with Auschwitz.
God bless all peoples who suffer for simply being. And God bless those who, like His Holiness Pope Pius XII, care enough to help. And may God bless those who cause the suffering with true and honest contrition for their sins. *** ¨Yet not for these only do I pray, but for those also who through their word are to believe in me, that all may be one ... ¨ The Holy Gospel according to John, 17, 20.
Those WHo Have A Problem With Mother Angelica, Really HAve A Problem With Catholicism.
True. People with problems concerning the faith (which faith is composed not only of teachings but also of course includes lay members and magisterium and folks like Mother Angelica), and this is just my own personal experience and opinion, almost always attack personalities and never really address ideas or issues. its sad that people seem not to be able to deal rationally with one another. But I suppose it is to be expected ... We are after all IN the world, but not OFF the world. I think thats what makes some others mad. Honest Catholics step on their toes just by walking in the One True Faith. Keep it up Padre.
Those Who Have A Problem With Divine Mercy, Usually Believe God Owes Them Grace.
Thank you Father. Happily I have no problem with Divine Mercy. I consider it preferable to what I deserve. 
Without Christ I am nothing. Without Christ's Mercy I have nothing. ( ¨Place your hope in God alone. If you notice something good in yourself, give credit to God, not to yourself, but be certain that the evil you commit is always your own and yours to acknowledge.¨ *Rule of St. Benedict 4.41-43* )

Peace on earth, good will towards all. Merry Christ Mass!
The Hickup In The Church I. What we are living in the Church today could merely be a hickup in the life of the church. Sadly many believe the only thing they have seen for 30 years is Catholicism when in reality it may just be a temporary side route. We need to look to the past, to study the tradition so that we can be prepared for the direction the Church will go in the future.
A very simple, very good telling of the truth about where we are. Thank you.
Protestantische Hochzeit.... Ein Bräutigam in den USA hat noch während der Trauung den Pfarrer unterbrochen. Wie in einem am Donnerstag auf Youtube verfügbaren Video zu sehen ist, zog der Mann aus dem US-Bundesstaat Maryland mitten in der Zeremonie ein Handy aus seiner Jacke und schrieb im Onlinedienst Twitter: "Stehe mit Tracy vor dem Altar, die vor einer Sekunde meine Frau wurde! Muss weg, meine Braut küssen."
And the divorce rate is what? 50%? I'm glad I'm Catholic.
Charlie Brown Christmas. With Truth, difficult things are easily explained. Linus explains what Christmas is all about.
This is sweet. Its been so long that I've seen the show I'd forgotten. Truth is mostly simple and direct.
Benedict XVI receives President of the Russian Federation.
More good evidence of the conversion of Russia and the triumph off the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Bishops Consult Lesbian. A Vortex from www.realcatholictv.com Why are the bishops seeking advice from a lesbian on matters of health care?
An opinion ... I got this same video in an e-mail yesterday. I was shocked. Not at the information, if it is honest information, but rather I was shocked at the ¨reporter¨. The 4th Commandment teaches respect for rightful autority. Jesus teaches that there are times when we are morally obligated to ¨ do as they say, but not as they do.¨ All of this is basic catechism. This repoter is being disrespectful towards the magisterium. The question is asked, ¨Why are the bishops seeking advice from a lesbian?¨ I don't know. Did he ask the bishops? Did he take his problem with this, in the correct manner and in accordance with Church law, to the rightful authority before popping off on line? I think he would have mentioned it if he had. Maybe they ask her questions, not because they agree with her lesbian life style, but because she is capable in her role as an advisor on health care issues? And then he asks, ¨Is everyone there a Democrate, etc. ?¨ as though to infer that all Democrats are on the wrong side which lumps a rather large segment of the U.S. population together in what would be an obviously bigoted statement if it were applied to an ethnic minority. He is being judgemental, disrespectful, vulgar, not operating according to accepted Holy Mother Church guidlines (in that he didn't take his problem to the Bishops), and disobedient to the Magesterium (by not being subject to rightful authority as per the 4th Commandment and the teachings of Jesus in the Gospel). Note: It is the teaching of Holy Mother Church that we are to be obedient to rightful authority even when the authority is wrong. In such a case the mistake is the authorities and not ours, but disobedience on our part wouldn't be their mistake ... rather it would be ours. This reporter owes an apology to both the U.S. Bishops AND his audience. I canceled my subscription to his service as a result of this video.
