Perth Archdiocese and the COVID Cult There seems little doubt now that the whole COVID panorama is a religion. Our democracies have been replaced by theocracies in which politicians issue health orders like oracles. Their bizarre announcements which rely on nothing but The Science are willingly obeyed by the masses who are ever hopeful that their health will be blessed. Catholics are not exempt from syncretically accepting the COVID cult; even if they reject or ignore Church teaching, they are only too happy to recite the COVID dogma and partake in its rituals.Early on, when our Church leaders uncritically...

Kiev does not see any imminent danger of a Russian incursion, and foreign media are to blame for blowing up tensions, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov has said. “We are assessing the situation at a distance of 200 km from the border. They [the Russians] are constantly pulling up and then withdrawing troops, conducting exercises. I can say with absolute certainty that as of today, the Russian armed forces have not created a strike group that could carry out an invasion,” Reznikov said.

Pray for peace and justice for UkraineAn Appeal of the Ukrainian Catholic Bishops of the United States:“Pray for peace and justice for Ukraine. Be informed. Support the suffering.” “Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him” (Mt 2,13)In our Eastern Christian Christmas traditions, we rejoice and celebrate that “God is with us,” singing the praises of the Prince of Peace in hymns and carols. Yet as we reread the Nativity account, we encounter the homelessness of the Mother of God, the anguish of Joseph, and the refugee status of the newborn Jesus. Herod appears, a homicidal...

Sometimes, I just want to throw things. Word has it that as the Canadian Freedom Convoy raised upwards of $3 million on GoFundMe, the account was suddenly frozen. The reason: Honestly, what difference does it make? Background reference here: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4032599/posts Did anyone not see this coming? People, if we are going to win this war, we have to start thinking (and acting) out of the box. The objective here is to raise funds for fuel and travel expenses; and NOT prove to ourselves that we can raise funds on GoFundMe. It’s like trying to kick the football that Lucy is...
