only God can judge the human heart, the extent of understanding & the level of freedom & consent The above words were entered by George Pell into his prison journal on May 22nd, 2019. Lest We Forget a great Man of God.

Losin, Yigal. (1983). Pillar of Fire: The Rebirth of Israel--a Visual History. Israel: Shikmona Publishing Company. *(Archived screenshot)Swastika on the walls of Jerusalem's Zion Gate. Arab feelings in 1936.1936 was not a good year for democracy. The Fascist countries were seen as successful by many people. Every step taken by Hitler or Mussolini met with hesitation and trepidation on the part of the leaders of the free world. Hitler armed Germany, contraven-ing the Treaty of Versailles. The Wehrmacht marched to the Rhineland; this was a blatant violation of the Locarno Pact, according to which Germany was to keep the area...

mysterious Lord: the silent hidden God mercy and refuge lodge inside the shadows of His wings My friend, anglo-catholic Anglican bishop David Farrer, describes George Pell’s prison journals as “remarkably uplifting” and said he is grateful for the way they help us to pray. Above is a prayer which I have shaped today from words of the Cardinal about mass in the May 20, 2019 entry to the journal and from the words of Psalm 57 which he quotes in that entry. Lest We Forget: Cardinal George Pell, a truly great man of God, thrown to the lions by a...

The day I took this photo of Melbourne ruckwoman Georgia Campbell being tackled by key forward Tayla Harris, the configuration of elbows, heads and hands caught my eye as something special. Together, the two players looked like a Lotus Flower - the Buddhist symbol of purity, spiritual enlightenment and rebirth. I asked Tay if she'd like a song to be written about it and she said she'd prefer a rap. So I tried (without huge ability in the art form) to make one.

Texas has halted any construction of EPIC City. There is no construction taking place. The state of Texas has launched about a half dozen investigations into this project. That includes criminal investigations. And, the US Department of justice is also investigating. This matter, and similar matters, are taken very seriously, and actions are being taken to address all concerns.

NASA scientists have calculated the date a lunar eclipse occurred in A.D. 33 that may pinpoint the day of Jesus’ crucifixion. In Genesis 1, we read that God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years.” So it’s not surprising there would be a least one sign in the heavens to mark the death of Jesus as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. The New York Post reported that NASA’s “astronomical models suggest that...

Prevost may be regarded a centrist but his older brother Lou is a huge Trump supporter! And, Lou doesn’t hide his affection for President Trump. Lou posted this last month on Facebook! Here are a few of Lou’s thoughts.

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi appeared on MSNBC's "Chris Jansing Reports" to express her hope that "people of good faith listen to the words, both of our elected officials, when they say what they say about the need to respect immigrants. This new pope is acutely aware of conditions forcing the migration of vulnerable migrants. With so many people looking to him for guidance, I hope he will be impactful as a moral and ethical voice on that issue." Jansing asked "would you say that Pope Leo's words would effectively rebut Vice-President Vance's assertion that care...

Donald Trump and Pope Leo. How will they get on? Who will win?

Disappointment brings discouragement. Constant failure to realize our plans or expectations will cause us to lose confidence and hope, and inability to handle disappointment becomes a great tool. The following story, given to me by a friend and mentor 45 years ago, written by Walter Knight, illustrates. Discouragement It was advertised that the Devil was going to put his tools up for sale. On the day of the sale the tools were placed for public inspection, each being marked with its sale price. They were a treacherous lot of implements.... Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Deceit, Lying, Pride, and so on comprised...

NEW ORLEANS — The first American Pope has a family history with deep ties to New Orleans.

Several weeks ago I asked for prayers for my wife Jane and Niece Diane. Jane was fighting stage 4 Uterine cancer and Diane had a very dangerous heart condition. Here is what has happened since. Our new Oncologist has reported that Jane's treatments with a Chemo commonly called The Red Devil, have been well worth the very painful side effects they caused; and Jane is in remission! 13 days ago I had to bring Jane to an ER because I suspected she had blood clots in her right leg, below the knee. She did have them - many of them....

Newsdump Update: Labor Party Wins Australian Election By A Wide Margin... C.S. Lewis wrote a commentary back in 1948 that published as part of a book called "Arthurian Torso" here is a portion of that.

Our Constitution does not forbid government entities from working with religious groups, and the ‘separation of church and state’ is an ahistorical misnomer.Sometimes, a phrase takes on a life of its own and becomes so rhetorically powerful that it can be deployed almost mindlessly, without real consideration of its original meaning. “Separation of church and state” is one such phrase.Consider a couple of examples.In 2011, middle-schooler Brian Hickman auditioned to dance to a contemporary Christian song for his public school’s talent show. Days later, Brian’s mom was told by the school principal that the “separation of church and state” prohibited...

SOME IRONIES... * Some countries celebrate Labor day [Día Internacional de los Trabajadores] in NOT working. * Liberal "free speech" champions refuse conservative speakers. * Those that couldn't define what a woman is, were suddenly so excited about a woman potentially being president in 2024. * "Palestine" oppressive totalitarian regimes talk about "freedom" / "free." * Islamist Jihadists try to convince the world about "peace" in their religion. * Grandchildren of Arab immigrants ["Palestinians"] claim to be "indigenous." * Genocidal Hamas death-cult controls a so called "health" ministry. * Pro Hitler / his true genocide, are suddenly against a one...

The funeral and burial of late Pope Francis brought together heads of state and dignitaries from all over the world. And it ended up being an opportunity for Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to get 15 minutes of face-to-face time with US President Donald J. Trump. The meeting took place inside the Holy at Saint Peter’s Basilica, and was catapulted to nearly every paper and magazine cover in the world. But when Trump arrived, there were three chairs for the conversation. Papers around the world had their lip readers try to guess what happened in this highly unusual exchange, revealing Trump’s...
