Canada Demands Police Remove Images of Saint Michael
Catholic Arena ^ | 12/17/22

Posted on 12/19/2022 6:32:23 PM PST by marshmallow

Canada has hit international headlines for all the wrong reasons as of late, especially their barbaric like euthanasia policies.

Now, they have hit the headlines again after Montreal Police Department sensationally BANNED its police officers from wearing the image of Saint Michael, their patron saint.

A 2019 law on secularism within the state was cited in order to crackdown on police wearing images mentioning Saint Michael.

In a memo, Montreal authorities said:

‘‘After analysis, it was agreed that the crest of Saint Michael worn by SPVM (Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal) police officers on their uniform is a religious sign within the meaning of the law.

Consequently, we ask you now to kindly remove from your uniforms any crest symbolizing or referring to the Archangel Saint Michael, in order to comply with the law."

The badges in question say ‘Saint Michael Protect Us’.

Michael, Michael of the Morning,
Fresh chord of Heaven adorning,
Keep me safe today,
And in time of temptation,
Drive Godless Canadian devils away.

I never thought we’d see the People’s Republic of Canada in my lifetime. Come on kanooks, it’s your country. Take it back. By any means necessary. Your government is not your friend and would sell you to China for an iPhone. Make them worry. A lot.

Yes, I know, we’re only a half-step behind you. Hopefully we can process our left wing in an appropriate and very uncivil manner.

Canada could sure use the intervention of Saint Michael right about now.

Come to think of it, so could the USA.

Canada allows female Muslim cops to wear the hijab. Will the hijab be banned as well?
Just curious.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Many memories flood back reading your post of that prayer. We said it at the end of our school’s 9 AM Sunday Mass. Except I remember the words as “ be our protection against the wiles and snares of the devil”.

beat them at their own game and sue the gubment for being discrimatory to Muslim and Jewish people in that Michael is also an Islamic hero, a Jewish hero and a hero of the Iranian Baha’ities:
Michael (archangel) - from wiki
“Michael in Islam is tasked with providing nourishment for bodies and souls and is also responsible for universal or environmental events, and is often depicted as the archangel of mercy. He is said to be friendly, asking God for mercy toward humans....”

We say it after every Mass. Our priest started leading us in prayer with it several years ago. It was before the lockdowns. It has become one of my favorite prayers.

I’m amazed how far America has fallen in the past 15 years. But Canada... my God.

NEXT LAWS: All Bibles burned as they are filled with Hate Speech. All crosses removed from churches because they offend Islamic and First Nation People. All religious schools closed for teaching hate. No one can use the world “God”, “Jesus” or “Christ” as such terms are hateful. Only people who have undergone a two week class in How Churches are racist, bigot filled, hate sites, and myths will be permitted to even enter a church.

If we succeed in restoring our republic and Canada doesn’t do something similar, we’re gonna need a northern border wall, too.
