Hidden News, Francis & Blue Angels

Hello TIA,

Just a few news reports that the media has hidden:

• November 26, 2013 - Angola declared the practice of Islam illegal. It has already taken over 60 mosques and is preparing to demolish them (original in Portuguese here)
  
  
• December 1, 2013 - A referendum of the population in Croatia rejected the so-called homosexual “marriage” (here and here);
  
  
• December 11, 2013 - India’s High Court reaffirmed homosexuality as a crime against nature, re-instating a law that had been rejected in 2009 (here).

Based on this shocking lack of honesty in information, two questions occur to me:

1. Do these events, hidden by the media, reveal a general tendency in public opinion to reject the violence of Islamism and homosexuality?
   
   
2. The hypocrisy of the media becomes clear when they forbid the circulation of these news reports. Aren’t the media and the gurus who control it a new “Inquisition” - much worse than the medieval one, which they so violently attack?

I don't expect an answer to these questions from you. But I believe it is good to keep them in mind.

Keep up the good work.

Dear TIA,

Concerning Pope Francis' comment that the Old Covenant with the Jews has not been revoked - something John Paul II also said in Germany in about 1980 - my thoughts:

Jesus tried to convert the Jews. He said, "If you do not say that I am He, you will die in your sins," a frightening verse. Jesus wept over Jerusalem because the Jews did not "know the time of their visitation"; they had rejected Him.

Now, if the Old Covenant has not been revoked, then it is still in effect; and the attempted conversion activities of Jesus and His weeping over Jerusalem were pointless, unreasonable. The Jews could still reject Him and rely on the Old Covenant for salvation.

Now can you imagine Jesus doing something unreasonable and pointless? How could He be God if He acted that way? And if He were not God, His New Covenant would just be a thing of His imagination. Therefore, if the Old Covenant is still in effect, the New Covenant doesn't even exist. If the Old Covenant is still in effect, we had better become Jews, because there is no real New Covenant.

Now, of course, Pope Francis does not draw this conclusion. But If this argument is in error, please let me know.

     P.O.B.

TIA,

In the press conference of Pope Francis during his return flight from the World Youth Day in Rio, he spoke of mercy, mercy, mercy. Nothing about justice which is forgotten today, and just more on mercy which he pretends needs more emphasis.

He mentioned the Divine Mercy devotion promoted by John Paul II: “If the Lord never tires of forgiving, we have no other choice than this: first of all, to care for those who are hurting. The Church is a mother, and she must travel this path of mercy. And find a form of mercy for all. …

“And I believe that this is a kairos: this time is a kairos of mercy. But John Paul II had the first intuition of this, when he began with Faustina Kowalska, the Divine Mercy. He had something, he had intuited that this was a need in our time.”

This was enough for me to become suspicious of the Divine Mercy devotion.

Thanks for Msgr. Perez’ article anyway.

TIA,

Merci beaucoup for the wake up call Francis l and Judas, for those who need it, concerning Francis l and what is and is not happening to the Papacy. We needed the alert that his first letter was to the Jews. Additionally, the Vatican has made so many efforts and overtures to placate them during the past 50 years and counting.

Francis l may just wind up with the" Pontius Pilate Problem." Pilate found out, too too late, on Good Friday that if God the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity could not please the Jews, not only he but no man can please them either.

St. Paul spells it out perfectly in his first letter to the Thessalonians: chapter 2 verses 14-17.

     St. Paul, pray for us,

Hi TIA,

I happened to see the statues of Our Lady of Fatima and the children, as well as all the stained glass that is up for auction here.

I felt nauseous upon realizing what obviously happened.

The church has likely been demolished by now, with the exception of the windows. It is in Hazleton, PA, not all that far from Shenandoah, where St. George's was destroyed.

Awful...

Dear TIA,

Take a look at these pictures. Awesome... simply awesome!

In Jesus and Mary,

Dear TIA,

I have a list of people I know, all logged in my computer,
And now at Christmas time I have gone to take a look.
And that is when I realize that these names are a part,
Not of the computer they're stored in, but of my heart.

For each name stands for someone who has crossed my path sometime,
And in that meeting they've become the rhythm in each rhyme.
And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim,
I feel that I'm composed of each remembered name.
And while you may not be aware of any special link,
Just meeting you has changed my life, a lot more than you think!
For when I do a Christmas E-mail that is addressed to you,
It's because you're on the list of people I'm indebted to.

And whether I have known you for many years or few,
In some way you have been a part of shaping things I do.
And now that Christmas has come, I realize anew,
The best gift life can offer is meeting people like you.

     J.P.
