RIP Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Benedict XVI - Requiescat in Pace


Loved by faithful Catholics hated by the secular media

Very sad to hear the news that Pope Benedict XVI has died today. He was the last leader from the Western world to stand up for true Christian family values and bear witness to the whole of humanity, and didn't the Secular Media go after him, with terrible bias and slanted reporting. I have written to him many times and always received replies via his secretary Archbishop Ganswein.

Pope Benedict Requiescat in Pace.

Attempts to Woke the World

 
The recent failed attempts to Woke the World

Failed Woke Imperialism

The Football World Cup is now underway, amid outcry and controversy. Why you may ask? Is it because FIFA are staging this massive tournament in a country with virtually no history of Football? Perhaps it was the awarding of this tournament there in the first place amid the bribes controversy. No! None of that now matters. What's got the Western press and Western football supporters in a tizzy is the refusal of Qataris to allow Rainbow T shirts and other symbols of the Alphabet people in the their stadiums. Below is the text from a tweet by a Qatari spokesperson.

"As a Qatari I'm proud of what happened. I don't know when will the westerners realize that their values aren't universal. There are other cultures with different values that should be equally respected.

Let's not forget that the West is not the spokesperson for humanity."



Woke conclusions about Colorado Gay nightclub shootings

The Media, especially the liberal world broadcast stations like CNN, were quick to jump to conclusions about who was responsible for the Colorado Gay nightclub shootings: the right wing anti LGBT bigots of course, fuelled by the right wing media, singling out Fox News and its presenter Tucker Carlson. Pundits on MSNBC even went so far as to suggest that Fox News must be stopped and taken down for their criticism of the US military for being too Woke. Just waiting to find out what the actual reason for the attack, was not on the liberal media's agenda, it was just too juicy a story, one they could use to but the verbal boot into moral conservatives.

            However, the evil gunman who went on the rampage was not some right wing red neck anti-Trans extremist but someone who has requested that during his court appearances he must be referred to as non-binary, therefore it seems the gunman is Trans!

            How dare the liberal media cast such aspersions after the tragedy of the shooting at this club, using it to try and shut the morally conservative media up. Just because they support the mutilation of children, and Gay sex-ed to nine year olds, does this mean they can say what they want and silence everyone else?

Woke at Brighton University

 

How do we respond to Woke activists?



It is always difficult to respond to the Woke activists, they seem to have all the armour all the words to respond to you, and if you are a Christian who holds that the word of God is as it has been written in Sacred Scripture it makes no difference to them. You can of course always point out the parts of the Bible that condemns these sexual practices or can talk about the teachings of the Church. But to no avail they will just say that's all outdated, that you're hateful, that we need to get into the twenty-first century and that love is love etc. All backed up by the secular media of course so they can't be wrong?

                However, it is always from the world of the LGBT activist that the most compelling arguments against the homosexual lifestyles come, and sometimes one can only feel real sorry for those stuck in this lifestyle, of which only sex seems to matter, where the orgasm has replaced everything and this is all that matters. In this article published, the Catholic Herald "Confessions of an ex-LGBT activist" one gets a sense of the desperation of young people who are caught here. The poor Students of Britain's most Gay University, Brighton for example seem so desperate that they need our prayers. Please click here to read the Catholic Herald's report.

Bishop cancels faithful priest

 

Bishop cancels his priest for daring to preach Catholic doctrine

The all-pervasive influence of the Media is now seriously affecting the Catholic Church, we can see this with the Synod on Synodality and locally where bishops immediately jump and come down hard on any priest who dares to teach and preach true Catholic doctrine.

The Synod is utterly crazy with everything on the table, same-sex blessing, women priests, same-sex actions, so this is a sort of sex-synod.

Rt Rev. Ray Browne
(Yet another useless Bishop)

Now we have the case of a priest in the once Catholic Ireland being cancelled for simply trying to save souls. The priest concerned is Fr Sean Sheehy at St Mary's Church in Listowel Co. Kerry whose preaching was completely without error; he was trying to save the souls of people who have been engaged in abortion, in same-sex activity and he warned about the dangers of Transgenderism. For this his bishop immediately cancelled him, paying more attention to people on Twitter, the Irish Times and RTE than to Jesus, sacred scripture and the teachings of the Church.  But what did Fr Sheehy say that got him cancelled? Here is a transcript of his sermon from the Catholic Herald:

“What is so sad today is you rarely hear about sin, but it’s rampant. And we see it, for example, in the legislation of our government. We see it in the promotion of abortion. We see it in this lunatic approach of transgenderism. We see it, for example, in the promotion of sex between two men or two women. That is sinful. That is mortal sin. And people don’t seem to realise it. But it’s a fact. And we need to listen to God about it, because if we don’t, then there’s no hope for those people.”

Some of the great unwashed among the congregation (poorly catechised or rather catechised by the secular media rather than Church) walked out of Mass. Therefore, Bishop Ray Browne of Kerry threw him under the bus. Badly done your "Excellency". Why did the bishop not simply stand by his faithful priest and the teachings of the Church? Is it because he is a spineless coward more interested in the easy life than saving the souls of his flock? More prepared to go with the flow? - in another quote from the Catholic Herald "A word of advice to the Catholic hierarchy - if the mainstream media are praising you, you are probably doing it wrong."

Emmerdale 's ill-veiled pitch for "assisted dying"

 

News Cutting:

From The Critic

Soft soaping suicide

Emmerdale's coverage of assisted suicide was disturbing

Viewers of the long-running ITV soap Emmerdale were subjected to uncharacteristically harrowing scenes last week. Thursday's programme portrayed a character name Faith Dingle, who had been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, taking her own life. In previous episodes, Faith had shared her fears about what dying from a terminal illness involves. The impetus for this plot couldn't be clearer - it's an ill-veiled campaign pitch for "assisted dying".

CUT - As members of CUT know the soap operas have long been known for Social Engineering. This time "assisted dying" or rather suicide and euthanasia. One more reason to throw the TV out. To read more click on this link: The Critic

A mean-spirited Galadriel

 

Rings of Power

Galadriel from the Rings of Power
(a mean-spirited portrayal of a much loved
Tolkien character who in the Rings of Power always
saves the day when stupid white males fail).

Hating their own fan-base and the end of the franchise

Some media commentators and reviewers are claiming many of the famous franchises have been ruined in recent years to suit the spirit of the age, rather than the spirit of the actual film series itself. For example, Star Wars, Terminator, Star Trek etc. have all been accused of bending to the current trend rather than following the historical features and storylines of the films that set the standards. And have experienced a backlash from the original series fan base, many claiming that the film makers intended to do this for these films were not diverse enough. None have caused as much controversy as Amazon’s Rings of Power, and it's easy to see why: they have replaced the strong male lead with a (what they call) "kick ass female lead".

                Therefore, we have a Galadriel who is now a warrior bar none, she is the one who always saves the day when the weak males in the programme fail (which they always do).  We have always had strong female leads but their roles have been different, for example Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice or Natasha Rostoff in War and Peace but now they've got to be warriors who always seem to beat stupid white men up.

               Also, in the name of diversity Amazon have black Hobbits (or Harfoots), un-elf looking elves, and a plot and dialogue which is so boring that despite the glorious scenery and cinematography I turned off after 30 minutes and cannot see me wanting to watch it any further. Not that I'm worried about black actors, some of my favourite actors are black, for example Idris Elba who many are tipping to be the first black James Bond. So why is a black 007 fine and black hobbits not? Well, it comes down to the actual culture they represent (not that I like the James Bond films themselves).  A black James Bond set in the 21st century would sit fine with the culture of modern Britain however, black hobbits do not because the culture of middle Earth was a representation of medieval Europe. Tolkien's aim with the Lord of the Rings was to create a mythology for England, for he felt that the English did not have one, the Arthurian legends being Romano-British, Celtic) Therefore, putting black hobbits in the Rings of Power is like sticking it to the fan base as if they need to be taught a lesson when they do not.

                So, what is the common factor between all these major film franchises, and what's happened to them? Their main fan base are white males, not exclusively but at least two thirds to three quarters of them are. And yet this is the demographic that Disney's Star Wars, Paramount's Star Trek and Amazon's Lord of the Rings - The Rings of Power is upsetting. Why? Why are they shoving Wokeness down the throats of their fan base? Is it because it’s the professional film critics and other media in general that they are trying to please and not the fan base, who they wish to totally demoralise? Do they think they are too powerful and rich to be affected by the long-standing fan base? Perhaps modern film makers should be careful that they may be killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

Insects are friends - they are part of God's plan

 


Don’t believe it

The media can’t be trusted. At least, much of it can’t. Many media outlets mislead you about anything and everything in the interests of publicity. They don’t inform, they don’t educate, they just aim to entertain.

 Extract from the newsletter of a small charity called Buglife (‘Bugs – the little things that run the world’):

 We are approaching the time of year where the media publish scare stories about the annual emergence of certain species of cranefly (aka the Daddy Longlegs).  This happens every year (the cranefly emergence & the anti-bug stories).  

The anti-bug media season usually starts with flying ant “invasion” stories in July, then anti-wasp articles in August. In September we have the “horror” of craneflies & as we approach October the scary spider stories appear. 

The media have found that emotive & scary stories about small animals sell papers & gain website visits. They are willing to produce stories that ignore science, evidence & the bigger environmental picture; all to exploit the fears of individuals.

In reality, we are in the midst of a biodiversity crisis. Insects & other invertebrates are declining faster than many other types of wildlife.  We need to act now to stop invertebrate declines. However, the scale & quality of that action is still limited by society’s lack of understanding & awareness.  If society’s attitudes are dominated by prejudice & ignorance, rather than enlightenment & knowledge, then we will fail to achieve a happy coexistence with nature.

Don’t trust the media. Do your own research and think for yourself.
