California Governor Gavin Newsom signed several bills into law Friday. All of them were radical leftist monstrosities advancing his totalitarian control over the state. They ranged in severity from the petty to the monstrous, showing he can promote evil at every level. But one can argue none of them will affect more citizens and likely kill more Californians than AB2098. According to the San Diego Tribune: The bill, AB2098, introduced by Democratic Assembly Member Evan Low, declares that a physician or surgeon commits professional misconduct if they disseminate “misinformation or disinformation” about the nature and risks of COVID-19, its prevention...

Michael Vick killed dogs for sport and was heralded by the National Football League. Richard Sherman is playing right now after being arrested for domestic violence, one of dozens of players who did not lose their jobs over actual violence against women. Jon Gruden sent private emails that equated to thought crimes and will never coach in the NFL again. This encapsulates America today in which breaking “woke” rules is far more serious of a crime than committing actual violence. As Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh posted earlier on Facebook: Richard Sherman was arrested for domestic violence this past summer. He...

Bishop says politicians and others who promote abortion are excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Article: Bishop: Pro-abortion Andrew Cuomo excommunicated himself, should not receive Communion According to this article, Bishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas claims that by rejecting Catholic teaching, one excommunicates themselves from the Catholic faith. That would mean Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, and Joe Biden are excommunicated. In the past, Bishops have declared that supporting abortion excommunicates politicians. Probably the most famous example is the letter by the late Archbishop of Atlanta John Francis Donoghue. Here is a link to that famous letter/declaration. There were three bishops who...

"As a priest in the Orthodox Church, it is my duty to ban members of Black Lives Matter from receiving Communion. I will not desecrate the precious Body and Blood of Christ, by allowing it to touch the unclean lips of those who are members of that satanic organization. If they want to take communion, they will have to find some other church." "Members of Black Lives Matter need to get on their knees, and ask forgiveness for their participation in this godless movement." Black Lives Matter is a terrorist, Marxist organization which promotes abortion and homosexuality. This wicked group...

Three hermits living in Orkney have been thrown out of the Roman Catholic church, after they called the Pope a "heretic", and said evil was "destroying" the church. The group published the comments in an online declaration. A spokesman for the diocese of Argyll and the Isles said they were warned it would lead to excommunication. He said offers of dialogue had been refused, so "the penalty now applies". The group - two men who call themselves a priest and a monk, and a lay woman who was a senior doctor - live on the island of Westray. They run...

Deacon Nick Donnelly has reported that the Hermits of Westray received notification of their excommunication on Christmas Day. The three Scottish hermits were reportedly excommunicated for a post on their website entitled “The Declaration.” In the post, the hermits declare: Never in history has there been such a Pope, who by his actions, words and teaching, has thrown the whole Church into confusion. There have been bad and immoral Popes like John XII, and Alexander VI, there have been mad Popes, like Urban VI, there have been severe and unbalanced reforming Popes like Paul IV, and there have been pleasure...

Vaughn Treco, pastor of St. Bede the Venerable in suburban Minneapolis, citing "rejection of the magisterial authority of an Ecumenical Council and a series of popes.

Catholic politicians such as New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo who support abortion have removed themselves from communion with the Catholic Church, Bishop Joseph Strickland said recently, and they should not present themselves to receive the Eucharist. Excommunication is a formal declaration by the Church of something that’s already happened, the bishop of Tyler, Texas, said. It’s a technical term, Bishop Strickland explained, but the reality is Cuomo and others like him have expelled themselves. They’re choosing to be out of communion “Andrew Cuomo makes it clear that he doesn’t believe Catholic teaching and therefore he’s ex-communion. He’s out of communion,”...

Continuing with our recent trend of covering the “men dominating women in female sports” theme, another prominent female sports figure has now learned what happens when you speak out against the transgender narrative crowd. It doesn’t end well for you. This time we’re talking about women’s tennis, among other sports, and the person who foolishly went so far as to express “concerns” about the inherent inequality on display was tennis legend Martina Navratilova. She even included all of the usual bowing and scraping about how we should “respect the bravery” of people swapping genders and gaining a competitive edge,...

YAOUNDÉ, Cameroon - An archbishop in South Africa has suggested the Church’s law system should be amended to mandate the excommunication of priests who commit sexual abuse. Archbishop Buti Tlhagale of Johannesburg made his comments during an ordination mass for four new priests. “Perhaps the abuse of minors by a priest, considering its moral gravity … ought to be considered as an automatic excommunication. In other words, when a priest is found to have abused a child, that should be included in the list of those acts that bring about automatic excommunication,” he said Oct. 27. Currently, there are several...

Archbishop: Sex abuser priests should be excommunicated October 31, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Archbishop Buti Tlhagale, OMI of Johannesburg, South Africa says Church law should be changed so that priests who commit sexual abuse are automatically excommunicated.

In his eyes, this needs to be corrected and changed. The African archbishop said...
