SANTIAGO, Chile, Aug. 27, 2004 (CNA) - Cardinal Jorge Medina, ex-Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, warned Chileans that the devil is present in the world and that he uses euphemisms to destroy respect for life and the family.
“The devil is very present, and he uses lies and euphemisms to deceive. He calls abortion the termination of pregnancy and children burdens. He fosters homosexual marriage and laws allowing for divorce, presenting evil as good and making money a god,” said the Chilean Cardinal.
His comments came as part of a presentation on exorcisms and the demonic at the Catholic University auditorium in Santiago.
He said the action of the devil could be seen in the convincing of people that polls are the result of truth and kindness. “If more than 50% say they are in favor of something, it is automatically accepted, with considering human nature and that not everything can be resolved by voting,” he pointed out.
Likewise, he recalled that the prince of darkness is a person, a concrete being, and not an abstract idea, and that he is devoted to “keeping humanity off of the road to salvation, which is in the cross of Christ.” Therefore, he called on young people “to get used to the idea of going against the flow.”

very cool, when the Church talks sense.

that picture makes my skin crawl.
There very much is a war between good and evil, with evil masquerading as 'enlightened progression'. The idea that abortion is anything other than the wholesale slaughter of the innocent is one, if not the, biggest form of evil going. The views are clarifying, all that's really left is for everyone to pick sides. Choose wisely.
GAAAA!!!
Now you made me spray my monitor with holy water...
:))))
Ain't it the truth, ain't it the truth, ain't it the truth! Beelzebub's daughter in all her sulfuric splendor!

Okay, I feel better now.
But hey, is that picture Photoshopped or something?
I mean, it's just a woman. Why should it make my flesh crawl like that? Has something been done to that photo to trigger some kind of subliminal response?
Don't know who she is? Here's the hint:
