The Selling of Our Nation into the Slavery of Sin and Poverty

Boehner Calls Bill Armageddon

The next 24 hours are "armageddon" because the health care bill proposed by Democrats will "ruin our country," House Minority Leader John Boehner said Saturday, a day before a crucial vote on the bill in the House.

Obama accused the Republicans of not wanting the bill to pass because it will prove how innocuous the government takeover of medicine was all along.

We're on the cliff.

The USCCB circulated a letter to lawmakers last night, telling them to vote "no" if fixes aren't made to the bill. 

"The Senate bill extends abortion coverage, allows federal funds to pay for elective abortions (for example, through a new appropriation for services at Community Health Centers that bypasses the Hyde amendment), and denies adequate conscience protection to individuals and institutions," the letters states in explaining the reasons for the bishops' opposition.

I don't mean to undermine the effort because at least they did something but this is the moment to grab your testosterone by the bootstraps and man up.

The letter should have said this is the line in the sand and Catholic Hospitals will be shutting down as soon as we can transfer patients to secular hospitals if this bill passes; that this bill threatens takes away life-giving medical treatment to seniors and the poorest of the poor; the effective elimination of trickle up poverty and eradication of the middle class is such a threat to the sanctity and dignity of human life that anyone who votes "yes" will be publicly excommunicated on Monday.

I am really sick to death of wimpy "letters" from prelates about the raping and killing of our children at the hands of sociopaths and selfish narcissists.

They don't fool those of us on the ground in hand-to-hand battles. The dozen or so of us here in Boston who worked tirelessly to stop Cardinal O'Malley from making money for his hospitals by signing abortion contracts saw exactly how "sorry" the Bishops, Cardinals and prelates are all the way to the top. They are not sorry enough to take the murdering of children for money seriously. They simply permitted the Cardinal to cover up what is really going on by rearranging Partnership and Operating Agreements and providing the media with falsehoods that he ended the arrangement. It was a lie and is a lie that is being covered up by the American Bishops and the highest levels at the Vatican.


Further, these Bishops used the opportunity to break the backs of the American workforce buckling with trying to stretch our dollar to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table to provide for illegal aliens in the bill:

"The Senate bill would not only continue current law that denies legal immigrants access to Medicaid for five years, but also prohibit undocumented immigrants from buying insurance for their families in the exchanges using their own money," the letter adds. "These provisions could leave immigrants and their families worse off, and also hurt the public health of our nation."

Perhaps these benefits should be paid for out of the Bishop's Appeal?

Who do they think can afford this?

We are killing ourselves out here trying to make ends meet while their endless supply of money simply keeps refilling their coffers. They have no idea what the middle class working slobs are up against.

Several weeks back the apostates at America Magazine initiated a discussion about how the cause of abortion is not moral decay but a matter of economics. Their answer was to give mothers 800 dollars per child. I tried to ask who they think can live on 800 dollars a month but the editor there, Tim Riedy, would not permit the questions to be posted. (They deliberately keep logic and factual information from their readers) Living expenses for single parents is a minimum of 62,000 dollars a year just to get by. I tried to post the breakdown of these expenses, which came from many secular sources - but again, Riedy would not let the breakdown post. Truly creepy what is going on over there but then again, should not be surprising as they deliberately twist the authentic path to salvation, the most offensive crime against humanity.  

We're crossing the rubicon of people into the slavery of sin and poverty and the kicker is it's being sold as a virtue.   

He was a liar and a murderer from the beginning.

Lifeteen Founder Dale Fushek Excommunicated

What happened to this poor man will remain a mystery.


Many hierarchical Church insiders had little respect for Fushek and for a variety of reasons didn't have any trouble believing the plausibility of the criminal charges against Fushek. Call me suspicious, but the charges against him never passed the sniff test. A priest involved in youth ministry who talked to teenage boys about sexuality can be hijacked by the hysterical.


In general, Lifeteen ministries cultivate prayer and worship, and a deeper commitment to Christocentric thinking and living. There are many fine priests and adults working this ministry and doing good work and there are others who spin out of control in various ways. The flaw in this ministry, is that it attracts adult Peter Pan types - adults dissed as kids who never made it out of puberty emotionally. Fusak among them. His ego, his Masses and just about everything he did was an out of control Cirque de Soliel.

Since diocesan cronies sell the innocent down the river with the guilty, and so many druggies, mentally unbalanced and people with axes to grind against the magisterium concoct memories, I never make a judgment on these kinds of things unless the facts demonstrate guilt. I was sympathetic up until the point in time when Fushek tried to draw people away from Christ's One, Holy Apostolic Church.

The fact that he would do that with complete disregard for the salvation of those he was luring away from Christ, indicates to me a bad egg.

He has a choice to make in response to his excommunication. He can harden his heart and flow with the current of rebellion, or he can realize what he did was wrong and repent.

The fruit of discipline can bring a soul to righteousness and salvation - or he can flow with the current of rebellion and end up bitterly betraying our Lord in spiritual suicide, gradually disemboweling himself.

It's sad to see any priest give in to a crucible and I pray for his soul. Kudos to the Bishop for revealing the status of his salvation so that he can repent and save himself. Sure beats making nice and knowing that sins unrepentant are devouring your charge.

Soul of Christ, santify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds, hide me.
Never let me be separated from you.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
At the hour of death, call me;
and bid me come to you.
That with your saints I may praise you
forever and ever.

Amen.

St. Ignatius pray for us.
