I don’t know whether this is mainly for your Last Acceptable Prejudice file or your Throwing a Nutty file … from CNA.  My emphases and comments: Catholics denounce slated ‘documentary’ on Pope by homosexual activist London, England, Jun 8, 2010 / 01:07 am (CNA).- A homosexual activist [deviant, and therefore in liberal eyes well-qualified…] and Vatican protestor in the U.K. is slated to make what he calls a “factual” documentary on the Holy Father, [It will be truly unbiased, I bet.] which is set to air just before the upcoming papal trip. One critic of the proposed film called it...

To best gauge the scale of the global media’s defamation of Pope Benedict XVI, look at the cartoons in the major newspapers from Thailand to Brazil, Mexico, the United States, and everywhere in Europe. Such slander, malicious innuendo, and vilification against any other major figure of the global stage would be impossible to imagine.Clearly, for Holy Week, all the stops have been pulled out in the media campaign against the Holy Father.Major newspapers, led by theTimesof London and The New York Times,are publishing fiction as fact in their attempt to discredit Benedict and make him complicit in failing to prevent...

On her April 5 satellite radio show, Rosie O'Donnell took her anti-Catholicism to a new level by likening the Catholic Church to the Jonestown cult. As Brian Maloney of The Radio Equalizer put it, "in Rosie's twisted world, there's really no distinction to be made between the Pope and Jim Jones, murderous cult leader responsible for the deaths of more than 900 people in the Guyanese jungle." O'Donnell certainly has a past of Catholic/Christian bashing. On the April 19, 2007 edition of ABC's The View, she expressed her concern that having five Catholic Supreme Court justice somehow violated the separation...

Faith often gets short shrift in the news - unless a little sex and politics are thrown in. Unprecedented pontiff bashing has taken hold in the press - prompted by Pope Benedict XVI's criticism of the use of condoms in anti-AIDS programs, made on his arrival Tuesday for a weeklong tour of Africa. "This is one of the most horrifically ignorant statements made by a world leader since former President George W. Bush's promise to 'smoke 'em out' in reference to terrorist leaders including Osama bin Laden," said Bonnie Erbe, a PBS host and columnist. A London Times editorial called...

Al Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri went to the core of the Christian faith when he attacked Pope Benedict XVI.The Islamic zealot warned the world that Christians would be exterminated as Muslims would rule the globe, per a video released by the Washington-based SITE Institute via AP.Stating that the pope attacked Islam, Zawahiri struck back by claiming that "’we will call upon him, and all of the Christians, to become Muslims who do not recognize the Trinity or the crucifixion.’"That is exactly the plot of Satan. Satan, in wanting to usurp God’s throne, His place in eternity, and His almighty...

There’s been much talk about reforming the Catholic Church by members of Dignity USA, but unfortunately, reform can never happen as long as a former Nazi, Pope Benedict XVI, heads the same fallible institution. Instead of praying for change and hoping for a dialogue with a tyrant, queers would be better served by resorting to the “in your face” antics of ACT UP. After all, it was under Pope Benedict’s leadership as a bishop that the church’s doctrine which states that homosexuals are either “intrinsically” or “organically disordered” was formulated and put into place. A distinction was made between those...

The Twenty Mysteries of the Rosary? by John Vennari The Apostolic Letter opens the door for a "pastoral approach" to the Rosary that is "positive, impassioned and creative - as shown by World Youth Days". In other words, a nod is given to a jazzed-up Rosary for the "youth". "When one lives by novelty, there will always have to be a new novelty." - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen On October 16, 2002, Pope John Paul II marked the 24th Anniversary of his papacy with the release of the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, in which he proclaimed a "Year of...
