To love fasting. To relieve the poor. To clothe the naked. To visit the sick. To bury the dead. To help in trouble. To console the sorrowing. To hold myself aloof from worldly ways. To prefer nothing to the love of Christ. Not to give way to anger. Not to foster a desire for revenge. Not to entertain deceit in the heart. Not to make a false peace. Not to forsake charity. Not to swear, lest I swear falsely. To speak the truth with heart and tongue. Not to return evil for evil. To do no injury: yea, even to bear patiently any injury done to me. To love my enemies. Not to curse those who curse me, but rather to bless them. To bear persecution for justice' sake. Not to be proud. Not to be given to intoxicating drink. Not to be an over-eater. Not to be lazy. Not to be slothful. Not to be a murmured. Not to be a detractor. To put my trust in God. To refer the good I see in myself to God. To refer any evil in myself to myself. To fear the Day of Judgment. To be in dread of hell. To desire eternal life with spiritual longing. To keep death before my eyes daily. To keep constant watch over my actions. To remember that God sees me everywhere. To call upon Christ for defense against evil thoughts that arises in my heart. To guard my tongue against wicked speech. To avoid much speaking. To avoid idle talk. To read only what is good to read. To look at only what is good to see. To pray often. To ask forgiveness daily for my sins, and to seek ways to amend my life. To obey my superiors in all things rightful. Not to desire to be thought holy, but to seek holiness. To fulfill the commandments of God by good works. To love chastity. To hate no one. Not to be jealous or envious of anyone. Not to love strife. Not to love pride. To honor the aged. To pray for my enemies. To make peace after a quarrel, before the setting of the sun. Never to despair of your mercy, O God of Mercy. Amen.

Texas Bishop Warns Catholics Against BLM’s “Dangerous” Agenda

Breitbart News

The bishop of Tyler, Texas, has urged the faithful to educate themselves about the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, insisting that its mission statement is contrary to Christian belief.

“Please educate yourself on this!” Bishop Joseph Strickland wrote in an Independence Day tweet in reference to the BLM mission statement.

“Toward the end of this statement 2 points are made that are contrary to FAITH,” he continues, “#1 opposing the nuclear family (where is dad?) and #2 opposing God’s plan for sex as a union of male & female. This agenda is DANGEROUS!”

The bishop was referring to statements by the organization denouncing the nuclear family and praising queer-affirming culture.

On its page titled “What we believe,” Black Lives Matter asserts a series of tenets that conflict with the Christian understanding of human nature and human flourishing, two of which were underscored by Bishop Strickland.

“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable,” BLM states.

The organization fails to acknowledge that the breakdown of the nuclear family, which disproportionately affected blacks in America, was at the heart of the downward spiral of crime, poverty, and dependence in which many blacks found themselves.

According to former NFL player Marcellus Wiley, Black Lives Matter’s wish to “disrupt the western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement” is wrong-headed and dangerous.

Citing statistics, Wiley said last week that children from single-parent homes are “five times more likely to commit suicide, six times more likely to be in poverty, nine times more likely to drop out of high school, ten times more likely to abuse chemical substances, 14 times more likely to commit rape, 20 times more likely to end up in prison, and 32 times more likely to run away from home.”

“So, when I see that as a mission statement for Black Lives Matter, it makes me scratch my head,” Wiley said.

The second element criticized by Bishop Strickland similarly denies the Christian belief in the creation of human beings as male and female and in the nature of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

“We foster a queer‐affirming network,” BLM declares. “When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).”

Adopting the anti-Christian language of gender-theory, BLM states its intent to “dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.”

Smiling Francis Receives Gay-Bar Priest

en.news JosephSciambra.com updated on June 20 an article about Paulist Father Gil Martinez with a picture of Martinez hanging out at a gay bar (below).

Martinez ran the gay-propaganda "ministry" St Paul, which is attached to St Paul the Apostle Parish in Manhattan which is run by the Paulist Fathers. Since July 2018, Martinez is active in Los Angeles.

His gay bar picture is from 2016. St Paul hosted regularly events in gay bars.

In 2015, Martinez was received by Francis and Cardinal Walter Kasper, both of them pro-gay apologists, and gave Francis a copy of the gay-propaganda video “Owning our faith.”

Bergoglio disobeys the Word of God and rebels against Him.

1 Corinthians 5:

Sexual Immorality Must Be Judged

9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral persons— 10 not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother or sister who is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging those outside? Is it not those who are inside that you are to judge? 13 God will judge those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”  

2 John 9-11 

9 Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God; whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 Do not receive into the house or welcome anyone who comes to you and does not bring this teaching; 11 for to welcome is to participate in the evil deeds of such a person.

Francis Recycles Evo Morales' leftist Ambassador

TIA 

On July 3, 2020, Pope Francis announced that he had chosen Julio César Caballero, former ambassador of Evo Morales to the Vatican for four years (2016 to March 2020), to head the Latin American Pontifical Commission. 

Caballero was the official spokesman for the Bolivian government during Francis' visit to Bolivia in 2015, first row below, and he was the architect who planned Morales' visits to the Vatican in 2017 and 2018, second row. 

In November 2019, Evo Morales resigned from office, accused of fraud in the election that gave him a fourth term as President of Bolivia. The fraud was verified by the Organization of the American States (OAS) in a detailed Electoral Integrity Analysis found here. 

For some time now, a leftist media campaign has been striving to return Morales, now in exile in Argentina, to Bolivia and restore him to power. 

Indeed, four months ago a MIT commission declared that the OAS document was flawed and presented Morales as a victim of a plot. Articles in the New York Times and The Economist adopting the same lines followed. 

In the face of this attack, on June 16, 2020, the OAS issued a declaration defending its findings and confirming the integrity of the present-day government of Bolivia. 

It is in this context that Pope Francis chose to enter the picture, indirectly supporting Morales by naming his old ambassador as the head of the Latin American Pontifical Commission. 

We see that Pope Francis never fails to support Communism. 

In this regard he has been infallible...

3 Priests Call For 40 Days of Prayer & Fasting to Drive Demonic Forces Out of America

by ChurchPOP Editor

On July 4, Fr. Bill Peckman, Fr. James Altman, and Fr. Richard Heilman announced their call for 40 days of prayer and fasting to cast demonic influence from our nation.

Doug Barry’s U.S. Grace Force initiative sponsors the effort.

“Through acts of reparation, fasting, penance, charity, and prayer (both personal and sacramental), we call upon the power of God to release ourselves, our families, our parishes, our dioceses, and our nation from all demonic influence and oppression,” the release says.

The group calls the effort “Let Freedom Ring: 40 Days to Freedom From the Devil,” beginning July 7 and ending Aug. 15. 

The three priests will provide a reflection each of the 40 days, as well as a specific litany and prayer of exorcism. They also suggest acts of reparation, while considering the person’s state in life.

Acts of reparation include the daily rosary, regular exercise, fasting from sweets, etc. Click here for a full description.

Fr. Peckman also invited his parishioners to participate.

“Just think what our parishioners could be and become if we marshaled our forces and took the 40 days between July 7 and August 15 to pray for deliverance and a fullness of God’s blessings,” he said.

“This is a national movement of which I am a part of in order to more than complain about the state we find ourselves in, but to use the grace of God to make a real and lasting change.”

To say that Jesus was an immigrant or a refugee is false: Egypt was a province of the Roman Empire

Politifact: Egypt, or Aegyptus, was a Roman province and run by a prefect appointed by the emperor. There were many administrative vagaries among the vast territory Rome controlled at the time, but experts told us one thing was clear: Anyone who lived in the empire could pretty much go wherever they wanted. Well, as long as they paid their taxes.
