LOS ANGELES, July 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- "Today's attempted arrest in Los Angeles of the student participants in American Life League's Crusade for the Defense of our Catholic Church is beyond scandalous," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "Since when is it against the law for Catholics to defend the Catholic faith at a Catholic Cathedral? We are outraged at the situation."
Today's scene occurred when more than a dozen young people attempted to attend the inauguration ceremonies of Antonio Villaraigosa, mayor-elect of Los Angeles, who is a pro-abortion Catholic. The young adults are part of American Life League's 2005 Crusade for Life walks in which they are trekking from San Diego to Sacramento spreading the truth about the incompatibility of Catholicism and support of abortion.
The group planned to attend the inauguration ceremonies, beginning at the Cathedral, and peacefully protest with shirts and signs that read: you can't be Catholic and pro-abortion.
"It is an outrage that an event honoring a pro-abortion Catholic public figure that openly supports the killing of the preborn would occur at Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral," said Brown. "It is even more shameful that Cardinal Mahony and others would attempt to censor faithful Catholic students from proclaiming the truth."
"American Life League calls for the immediate resignation of Cardinal Roger Mahony in light of his continued defiance of Church teaching," said Brown. "His coddling of pro-abortion Catholic public figures in California is beyond reproach and should not be tolerated by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church."
The young activists were eventually allowed inside of the Cathedral, but only after the Los Angeles Police Department intervened in the situation. "How ironic that the Cathedral security guards wanted to arrest the students and the LAPD had to step in and point out that such an act would be unconstitutional," said Brown. "The truths of the Church will always stand strong, regardless of who attempts to stifle them...even a cardinal."

Do you think that the Rainbow Sash gay activists have a constitutional right to disrupt church services?
EXTREMELY powerful demonic possession?
Just a guess. It's either that or a useful idiot for the darkness.

Since you mentioned it, Cardinal Mahony fits Fr. Malachi Martin's description of a "perfectly possessed" individual to a T.
No way. They are apostates advocating open sin.
Well said, Brown. It's encouraging to see younger Catholics willing to take this stand. Shame on Cardinal Mahony. (and too many others...)
The enthronement of a woman of ill repute as the Goddess of Reason desecrated the Cathedral of Our Lady in Paris (Notre Dame) and now we have the enthronement of theological infidelity and prostitution of the Faith in the "cathedral" of Our Lady in Los Angeles.
Very good analogy. Thank you for taking notice.
So we have now arrived at the French Revolution on American soil. After that in France came Napoleon. I wonder who's coming now? Hillary? No, she doesn't have that kind of power. Napoleon might have been pretty viscious and draconian, but he wasn't homosexual or satanic.
You had better fire off a letter of protest to the Rottweiler-in-the-Vatican! I'm sure he'll get right on this one. How could Pope Benedict stand by quietly while the Faith is abused, denied, trampled on and digraced like this? Surely he will take immediate and forthright action! We can depend on him...
...can't we?
Murph! I'm shocked! How can you be so brazen?
Wait a minute. There you go, THINKING again. Have you forgotten already: you are supposed to be a lemming, and you are not supposed to THINK.
Okay now let's try this one again.
Can't we just say that our dear Roger cardfile balony, I mean cardinal Mahony, must be a victim of a temporary lapse of memory or whatever? I met a man today who thought Mahony was Irish. We set him straight. Mahony was adopted, we told him, and he's actually Mexican. Fresno was his training ground for being a Caesar Chavez Communist, and then Bernardin in Chicago was his good buddy 'till he dropped off as a casualty of health-related problems associated with his personal lifestyle, so to speak. Mahony made a personal trip to his bedside to make sure he didn't recant at the last minute... Oh no! I hear helicopters outside I think they have a w
"I'm thinking something more dramatic, like a big crater in the earth opening up underneath the cathedral and swallowing the monstrosity whole, the cathedral that is"
And why not the monsters that frequent it? There is good Scriptural precedent for faithless clergy and wannabe clergy suffering just such a fate!!!:
Num 16,1 "And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben, 2 Rose up against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name. 3 And when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord? 4 When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face: 5 And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.
[2 "Rose up"... The crime of these men, which was punished in so remarkable a manner, was that of schism, and of rebellion against the authority established by God in the church; and their pretending to the priesthood without being lawfully called and sent: the same is the case of all modern sectaries.]
6 Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company. 7 And putting fire in them tomorrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. 8 And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi. 9 Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him? 10 Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also,
11 And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him? 12 Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come. 13 Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us? 14 Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come. 15 Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them.
16 And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart. 17 Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer. 18 When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing, 19 And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all. 20 And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them. 22 They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man's sin shall thy wrath rage against all? 23 And the Lord said to Moses: 24 Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron. 25 And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
26 He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins. 27 And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people. 28 And Moses said: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head: 29 If these men die the common death of men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send me. 30 But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord.
31 And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet: 32 And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance. 33 And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. 34 But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also. 35 And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense."
What the heck is that... man?... woman?... in all that white cloth supposed to be?
The Catholic bookstore about an hour away from me in VA has bumper stickers that read, "RU486, Hitler in a pill." Great stuff at that little shop!
Throw in a prayer to St. Michael to defend us in this battle. For that is EXACTLY what this is. Nothing less.
The "get married" part isn't that easy for some of us. :)
What's this that happened in Paris? I heard nothing about this... please tell me you're joking...
Nevertheless, the whirlwind was yet far having reached the acme of its fury. A number of laws now appeared, purporting to dissolve connection between Christianity and civil life. A law of Sept. 20, 1792, defined marriage as a merely civil contract, dissolvable by common consent, and transferred the registration of births, deaths, and marriages, from the ecclesiastical to the civil authorities. A law of Sept. 22 inaugurated the complete re-arrangement of the calendar,-- the year should be reckoned from establishment of the republic; the month be divided into three decades, each of ten days, the first of which should be kept a holiday; the five surplus days of the new year should be feast days, in honor of Genius, Labor, etc.; the celebration of the Christian Sunday was positively prohibited. On the whole, the convention much more hostile to Christianity than any of its predecessors. Public avowals of atheism became quite common. On Aug. 25, 1793, a deputation of teachers and pupils presented itself before the convention; and the pupils begged that they should not any longer be trained "to pray in the name of a so-called god," but be well in the maxims of liberty and equality; Nov. 1 another deputation, from Nantes, demanded the abolition of the Roman Catholic service. The granting of the demand was not far off. On Nov. 7 a letter from a priest was read aloud in the convention, beginning thus: "I am a priest; that is, I am a charlatan." Immediately after, the Archbishop of Paris, an old man, Gobel by name, entered the hall, laid down his staff and his ring on the president's table, renounced his office in the Roman Catholic Church, and declared, amidst immense applause, that he recognized no other national worship than that of liberty and equality. On Nov. 10 the municipal council of Paris celebrated a grand festival in the Cathedral of Notre Dame, in honor of Reason. Mademoiselle Maillard of the Grand Opera, in white robe and blue cap, represented the goddess of Reason. On men's shoulders she was carried from the church to the convention. The president embraced her; and the whole convention accompanied her back to the church, and participated in the festival thus sanctioning the abolition of Christianity, and the introduction of the worship of Reason.
You can read the whole link. Maybe things today won't seem so bad! Then again, maybe it'll sound like a taste of things to come . . .
When most of us read history we hear nothing of any homosexuality in the life of Napoleon. That is true.
But Napoleon was most definitely a satanic figure for the Catholic Church and Catholic France.
Additionally, he surrounded himself with Masons. Many of his Generals in the field were Masons. His brothers were Masons. And he created Masonic nobility throughout the country in addition to his many invented nobles of other stripes.
Most traditional French Catholics I know regard him as a type of anti-Christ.
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
St. Catherine of Alexandria, pray for us.
St. Joan of Arc, pray for us.

Wow, I didn't know that, thanks for taking the time to post it. Sickening stuff.
"And as I saw him on the stage/my hands were clenched in fists of rage/no angel born in hell/could break that Satan's spell
As the flames climbed high into the night/To light the sacrificial light/I saw Satan laughing with delight/the day the music died"
Interesting post, maryz. The part that says:
>>A law of Sept. 22 inaugurated the complete re-arrangement of the calendar,-- the year should be reckoned from establishment of the republic; the month be divided into three decades, each of ten days, the first of which should be kept a holiday; the five surplus days of the new year should be feast days, in honor of Genius, Labor, etc.; the celebration of the Christian Sunday was positively prohibited.<<
is especially noteworthy. I have run into lots of people who have been rather mystified regarding whatever happened to that 10-day calendar that was imposed in France after the Revolution. It might be one of the best covered-up pages of history, it seems to me. History books don't have much to say about it. And history professors don't know -- not that they would ever admit it. They pretend to know how to respond to questions but they can't answer this one. They might find some way to change the topic; to respond as if answering while objectively addressing some other question. But that's simply a manner of dishonesty.
What ever became of the 10-day calendar of the French Revolution, the one that was specifically aimed at the abolition of Sunday worship in Christian churches?
And furthermore, upon what principle might we expect its shortness of life to be attributed?
