Posted on April 4, 2020 by Msgr. Charles Pope See What the End Shall Be – A Homily for Palm Sunday The Passion, which we read in the liturgy for Palm Sunday, is too long to comment on in detail, so we will only examine a portion of it here.It may be of some value to examine the problems associated with the more moderate range of personalities involved. The usual villains (the Temple leaders, Judas, and the recruited crowd shouting, “Crucify him!”) are unambiguously wicked and display their sinfulness openly. But there are others involved whose struggles and neglectfulness...

Avatar Ferdinand Cesarano Joe Mama • 2 days ago The fundamental flaw in the New Deal is that it left the private sector standing. If we were smart, we would use the current crisis as an opportunity to nationalise nearly everything and to basically get rid of the private sector. But, because we as a culture are the farthest thing from smart, there is no hope of that. ______________________________________________________ Why do these lowlifes get an oversized voice in American society?

Five years ago, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services tried to plug a crucial hole in its preparations for a global pandemic, signing a $13.8 million contract with a Pennsylvania manufacturer to create a low-cost, portable, easy-to-use ventilator that could be stockpiled for emergencies.

Catherine Zeta-Jones got married almost 20 years ago, but she's reportedly only just seen her entire collection of wedding photos for the first time. According to the Daily Mail, the actress revealed that she'd never seen most of the official snaps from her nuptials. Zeta-Jones allegedly said, "I looked at the proofs and that was it - I never made an album. The photographer got in touch recently, so about three weeks ago I got to see all my wedding photographs. It was a wonderful day." While it's unclear why the Oscar-winning star had waited quite so long to see...

Reporter asks ‘you are using only 16,000 beds, and you said you would need at least 110,000.’ As Tucker discussed Friday night, hospitalization rates nationwide are only about 15-20% of what the models predicted. video at link-start at 20:40 mark

CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta has made a name for himself by shouting questions at President Donald J. Trump and putting his life on the line whenever cameras are rolling in the White House briefing room. On Friday, for example, the intrepid reporter attempted to mansplainthe coronavirus to Dr. Deborah Birx. Acosta recently published a book, The Enemy of the People, about how the past several years have been "a dangerous time to tell the truth in America." One reason he wrote the book, Acosta explained, is that he wanted his children "to grow up in a country where, you know,...

More than 85% of Americans are under stay-at-home orders, and at least one-third of the world is under some type of lockdown. The restrictions promote social distancing to "flatten the curve," or keeping the number of coronavirus infections at a level that won't overwhelm healthcare systems. But keeping so many people at home is also tanking the global economy and depriving students of education. About 10 million Americans have filed for unemployment insurance in the past two weeks, and the US restaurant industry had hemorrhaged about $25 billion as of March 22. Major universities have switched to remote classes, and...

In Sweden, an interesting experiment is playing out, which may soon reveal that Britain is way off when it comes to modelling the number of coronavirus patients who will end up in intensive care. The country has bucked the near-global lockdown trend, choosing to allow schools, businesses and sports venues to remain open and relying on the good sense of its citizens to control the virus through social distancing and maintaining good hygiene But the country has chosen this path largely because its prediction of how its health service will cope is vastly different from the trajectory that British modellers...

New evidence has emerged from China indicating that the large majority of coronavirus infections do not result in symptoms.Chinese authorities began publishing daily figures on 1 April on the number of new coronavirus cases that are asymptomatic, with the first dayÂ’s figures suggesting that around four in five coronavirus infections caused no illness.

A Sudanese national in the French town of Romans-sur-Isere, just south of Lyon, went on a rampage Saturday on a busy street attacking 7 people, killing two and wounding five.

April 5, 2020 In a 40-minute interview, the internationally renowned epidemiology professor Knut Wittkowski from New York explains that the measures taken on Covid19 are all counterproductive. Instead of „social distancing“, school closures, „lock down“, mouth masks, mass tests and vaccinations, life must continue as undisturbed as possible and immunity must be built up in the population as quickly as possible. According to all findings to date, Covid-19 is no more dangerous than previous influenza epidemics. Isolation now would only cause a „second wave“ later.The British Medical Journal (BMJ) reports that, according to the latest data from China, 78% of...

Microsoft founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates said his foundation is funding the construction of 7 factories that will manufacture seven promising coronavirus vaccines. If you had a dream of controlling the global population through abortion and vaccinations, as Bill Gates has oft repeated is his dream, how much money do you think it would take to fulfill that dream? Think about it, how much cold, hard cash would it take to force every, single person on planet earth to receive a vaccination and a digital ID to go with it? 10 billion, 30 billion, one hundred billion? The final...

Prayers up for all the families suffering from the impact of this virus. And we're still praying that the spread starts fading with the warmer Spring weather and that an effective treatment and vaccine are developed before the next flu season starts. And we pray that our people are allowed to go back to work very soon and that our economy comes roaring back. Meanwhile, we may be hurt and slowed down somewhat, but we have faith in the long-run that "what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger." God willing, America will survive and we will survive and we...
