My reason for the last prayer is to have Vatican II declared null and void.

The whole hypothesis is unworkable except under Tradition.

When we say the Act of Reparation we should also pray for the return of the Social Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Those nations you mentioned; Ireland, Spain, etc., they have been, in fact, atheist nations for many many decades now.

The best place for a Catholic republic would be somewhere in the continental U.S. once the U.S. collapses.

Just putting a cross atop an atheist state isn't the same thing as a Catholic republic. :cheers:

Our Pope Benedict XVI recieved the visit of the King of Saudie Arabia in the Vatican, some times ago. There was a mutual exchange of gifts between the king and the Pope. The Pope offered to the Muslim an icon, and the Muslim offered to the Holy Father a cimatar.
This exchange of gifts resumes the tale of two religions which worship two different gods. One is the God of Love, and the other is the god of Hate.
The Pope later made the following statement (source: San Francisco Catholic): "Islam uses the sword to convert". Our Pope could be made a martyr for such a truthful statement, and perhaps he might be in the future.
As Catholics we must remain truthful to the words of Christ, which is to love our persecutors, and tend the other cheek. There is no other way if we wish to remain with Jesus Christ.
There will be many Christian martyrs in the (likely) very near future. May be God will show His mercy if enought of us love Christ. God is good and may simply send His angel to save us from extinction, in fact He will.

As for the blasphemous art, the "Crucifix in a Jar of Urine" has set a precedent that has been cowardly accepted. There is however some resistance. For example the Men of St. Joseph organized a vigorous protest in Oakland against a grotesque painting representing Our Lady of Guadalupe in a swim-suit. Or again, I saw in a commercial art gallery of San Francisco a set of neo-religious artifacts that mocked the Holy Scriptures: As its main display, a mahogany cross was incrusted with anti-depressant, and anti-hallugicenic medical pills, implying that the scribes and prophets, who had written the Bible, had been in need of medical treatment. I pointed the blasphemic nature of this display to the merchant, and then with a few faithful we prayed. The entire set of neo-religious artifacts disapeared at once, and was replaced with less provocative art-work.

Islam is a religion of the devil. There is no other way to say it. The first act of Islam was the pillaging of an innocent passing caravan in Arabia. This was an act of theft and murder. The Prophet Muhammad, who never performed a single miracle, nor a single resurrection, and who even was wounded in a battle that he had lost in spite of having "prophecized" to win, had confessed that often he considered ѕυιcιdє after some of the visitation of an angel named Gibrel (this is not Gabriel). I personally can name someone who once saw a holy angel during a brief instant. This person will never be the same after this brief apparition. This person became troubled afterward in realizing what the purity of heaven is, however this person never once considered ѕυιcιdє, and on the contrary got a powerful drive for incessant prayers of the Holy Rosary towards Jesus Christ and His mother the Blessed Virgin Mary. for the simple reason that heaven may be reached throught the love for Jesus and Mary.

Islam demands human sacrifices. The most recent examples come from the ѕυιcιdє-bombers, which is the antithesis of the commandement of the angel of God who stopped Abraham from imolating his son Isaac. Islam claims that there are the sons of Abraham, but it contradicts itself in proning the imolation of its own sons.

Pope Leo XIII referred to Islam as idolatry.

It is.

Your view of Islam concurs with my view.

But doesn't "our pope" Benedict XVI run around saying things like "Islam and Catholicism worship the same god"??? Or does BXVI made allusions in this direction only to have his mindless minions run around talking about how "some houses have really lousy tv reception"...

To Capt McQuigg: B16 seems two-face. Look at the Satanic Miters that he wears. (source Chiesa Viva).

His statement against Islam that I quoted was may be just targeted to a specific audience. In any case the present Pope cannot be trusted as being straight. He deceived Bishop Fellay with empty promises, and has done some possibly irreparable damages against the SSPX, which was the sole viable, and self -contained cell of resistance of the Church. This Pope has also done more than deception, he seems to have planted moles within the Society since the late 80's while he was Prefect of the CDF.

What seems clearer is his work: he is currently loading-up the higher clergy with radical Consiliars. Look at what he did locally in SF with the new Archbp.! This new man who smiles too much is coming from the Luciferian-loaded-symbols of the Cathedral of Christ the Light of Oakland. Archbp. Cordeleone is their new-star coming straight from the abbyss, it seems!

I do not think that B16 truly believes in Jesus Christ. He has done too much to contradict the doctrine of the Gospel, such as his statements regarding the existance of Hell. Our Lord fought the forces of Hell since His birth. Look at this spectacular exorcism when as a result a herd of 2000 pigs possessed by a legion of demons drowned! Our Pope, about Hell, merely speaks of "state of mind"... well! good going Your Holiness! Granted that the situation in Rome has become humanely irreversible, so the Pope cannot do much, nevertheless if B16 were a true believer, he would act as if convinced that Our Blessed Mother would be by his side to the last. B16 on the contrary is pandering to Satan. Look again at his Miters!

B16 is not the best Pope, but we still must pray for his intentions, because either good or bad, those intentions will always come as a victory to God the Almighty, and the final triage will sort-out the loving souls from the hateful. God does not need us at all, He simply wants us to love Him, for the better or for the worst.

THE TALE OF TWO RELIGIONS

October 09, 2012

The West abuses Catholicism but remains too intimidated to stand firm against Islamic extremism.

Michael Coren

In late September I went along to what was described as an “anti-blasphemy” rally in the middle of Toronto. It was in response to the notorious “Innocence of Muslims” movie trailer, which was shown on YouTube but watched by very few of the Muslim fanatics who murdered people, destroyed property, and generally fell into paroxysms of theocratic angst as a result. The demonstration took place opposite the US Consulate, and most of the manic yells consisted of condemnations of the United States and Israel, with one genius holding a large poster announcing, “Islam Condones Racism.” Actually it does, and Islamic societies are often grotesquely racist, but he had intended to say “Islam Condemns Racism.” I considered correcting him, but it was much more fun not to, and he’d probably have only said that language was part of a Zionist or Christian conspiracy.

As I was there with a film crew and covering it for my television show, there was a certain, if limited, safety. Nevertheless, I was barged, abused, and threatened. I spoke to dozens of the perhaps 2,000 people who were there. They called for laws protecting Islam from offense, wanted to arrest people who insulted Muslims, and screamed for the death penalty for the man who made the film. They denied that there was such a thing as a blasphemy law in Pakistan, claimed that no Muslim had ever said anything ill about a Christian or persecuted Christians, and generally displayed an invincible ignorance and malice. The brother of Omar Khadr was there. Khadr is the terrorist who killed an American medic in Afghanistan, and was then imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay. As he was born in Canada, Islamic and leftist activists were demanding he be brought back. His brother told me that he was proud of his sibling, who had done nothing wrong, and that he was a good Muslim. There were endless cries of Islamic triumphalism, anti-Semitism, and calls for violence.

Oddly enough, little of this was reported in the mainstream media in Canada, when there is ample evidence on film of what happened. But, as we’ve been told repeatedly for so long—in Canada as well as in the United States and Western Europe—all religions are the same and it is fundamentalism that is the problem. Thing is, I’ve never been threatened with death by a Christian fundamentalist, never seen hundreds of people slaughtered by them, never really met more than a handful in my entire life. There is a difference between handling snakes and handling rocket-launchers.

So let us consider a tale of two religions. On the one hand, Catholicism: regularly abused and slandered both in the Western world and the Islamic heartland. On the other, Islam: protected by violent and strident blasphemy laws in Muslim-majority states, and by a blanket of fear, political correctness, and the racism of lowered expectations in the West. As I’ve said, we know what happened when one of those incredibly rare events occurred, and a film offensive to followers of Mohammad appeared on YouTube. The same thing occurred when a group of cartoons depicting Mohammad were printed in a Danish newspaper, or when Pope Benedict XVI repeated in Germany an entirely moderate and sensible comment about Islam made by an early medieval leader.

Yet at exactly the same time as Muslims were killing Americans in Libya, attacking people in Europe and Egypt, and salivating in Canada, the Edward Tyler Nahem gallery in New York opened its exhibition of “Piss Christ,” depicting a crucifix with the dying Jesus submerged in a jar of the artist’s urine. The creator of this trash, Andres Serrano, said that it was supposed to “question the whole notion of what is acceptable and unacceptable.” Oh please! You know this is acceptable, because it is accepted, just as it was a generation ago when you first displayed it. You’ll win even more awards this time, get lots of applause for being so brave toward those nasty Christians, and that will be the end of it. Just as when we had displays of the Virgin Mary covered in dung, and the Pope also in urine—quite a bodily waste fetish among these fellows!

The point is not so much the bad, sad, pathetic art, but the reaction to it from those it directly offends. The film about Mohammad is appallingly made, but does contain some truth about the man’s life. The Christ-in-urine display is also appallingly bad, and says nothing of interest or authenticity about the life of Christ. The Muslim response to the former is extreme and mindless violence and demands for blasphemy laws; the Christian response to the latter is a press release and general indifference. Perhaps we should do more to show our displeasure, but no serious Catholic would advocate anything resembling the Islamic example.

So, are all religions the same? Only to the extent that all political ideas are the same, and all people the same. Fascism, for example, is not democracy, and a saint is not a mass murderer. They are as different as are religions. Frankly, we all know this—it’s just that some are too terrified to say it in public. The Church has always taught that thought, consideration, and free will are intrinsic to Catholicism, and that faith can never be and must never be removed from intellect. Yes of course some Catholics, and even some Catholic leaders, have sometimes got this wrong, but we judge an idea or a theology by its norm and teaching and not by its exceptions and heresy.

In Toronto, Canada’s largest city, evangelical Christians have just been told that if they want to continue to meet in otherwise empty public schools on Sunday mornings, they will face an 800 percent rent increase. They can’t afford it. Muslims, however, are allowed, free of charge, to take over an entire cafeteria on a Friday afternoon in one of those schools and conduct prayer services, where girls who are menstruating are told to sit at the back of the room. Yes, a tale of two religions. And a tale of two attitudes, two reactions, two treatments, two faces.

The West may hate Catholicism and be too intimidated or seduced to stand firm against Islamic extremism, but one day it will discover just how different those religions are, and feel the consequences in a manner it cannot even imagine.

The IOM film was nothing but a cheap,cheezy, offensive Jєωιѕн/Christian Zionist production created with nothing more in mind than to insult the faith of almost a billion people and to rile up the most radical among them, the propagators of this monstrocity have to take some accountability for the destruction that ensued it's release. Of course the idolaters of "free speech" ( Yea, "free speech" unless you offend Israel, Jews or the h0Ɩ0cαųst) seem to feel they have the right to insult anyone, at anytime under the guise or protection of this idolatrous form of "democracy", problem is Islam doesn't recognize democracies or anyone else who would dare blaspheme Allah, his word the Koran or his most revered prophet. Islam is not afraid to act and speak openly against it's enemies or to take action to defend it, unlike most "christians" in the West whose religion has become nothing more than some kind of personal opinion or hope for something better in the afterlife and not really worth defending or God forbid "offending" the sensibilities of those attacking it. Much of modern day "christianity" these days, especially in the West, has become a poor excuse for those saints and martyrs who suffered and died for it's message, like Christ himself, which BTW, Islam often has more respect for, including his Blessed Mother, than most of the Jews, atheists and liberal/modernist "christians" accussing Muslims of their "hate" around the globe today.

Yes, the article is correct, this is a tale of two religions, Islam and the New Age form of "christianity" which it's aherents are forced to keep their religious beliefs to themselves and "Turn the other cheek" when these same beliefs are blasphemed. Many Muslims, for right or wrong, would die or kill for their faith while most of the followers of Christ barely speak up in the defense of theirs.
