I ask all of you to pray for her soul to rest in peace and the for the consolation of Ellen and all her loved ones.

I will keep her and her family in my Divine Mercy Chaplet this afternoon.

US Bishop: It is a grave sin to Vote for Pro-Abortion and Pro-Homosexual Marriage Politicians

COLORADO SPRINGS, May 14, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The recent trend of Bishops speaking out with strength on the responsibilities of Catholic politicians continues in the United States. Bishop Michael J. Sheridan Colorado Springs has just raised the bar even further by emphatically stating that Catholics may not vote for pro-abortion or pro-homosexual marriage politicians. “Any Catholic politicians who advocate for abortion, for illicit stem cell research or for any form of euthanasia ipso facto place themselves outside full communion with the Church and so jeopardize their salvation.... (Are you listening Pelosi, Biden, Sebalius and all the other Traitors in the Current Regime?)


...Any Catholics who vote for candidates who stand for abortion, illicit stem cell research or euthanasia suffer the same fateful consequences. It is for this reason that these Catholics, whether candidates for office or those who would vote for them, may not receive Holy Communion until they have recanted their positions and been reconciled with God and the Church in the Sacrament of Penance.” The Bishop noted that while there may be many issues to consider when voting, the right to life “trumps all other issues."...<snip>...



Thanks Be To God!
All Praise and Glory to You, Lord Jesus Christ!

Amen!

+Jesus, I Trust in You!
Love, Dawn

Catholic Bishops "See it coming," will ask for your cooperation...


Bishops Prepare for Largest Civil Disobedience Since the 60s

The United States Catholic bishops are readying American Catholics for what may be the largest campaign of civil disobedience since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s.

In addition to 12 lawsuits against the Obama Administration including 46 plaintiffs from dioceses, hospitals and universities, the US Catholic bishops will urge Catholics to openly defy the Obama HHS Mandate....<more at link>

Good morning, Dawn,

Well, although this article first appeared in May of 2004, it's as germane now as then.

And, about Catholic civil disobedience resisting the HHS attack on religion, I hope to make it to the Fort Worth rally Friday ... barring the unforseen.

God loves you,
Don

The apostasy rolls on. And so do the interesting earthquakes.
We had the small one in Philadelphia a while back, the large one in the DC area, one in Oklahoma that was felt in north Texas including the Dallas area, and smaller ones that seem to cause rumbling noises in places like Wisonsin.

And now an unexpect one off the west coast of Ireland:

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...317443871.html

I read not too long ago that the most accurate translation of '..there will be earthquakes in diverse places..." is '...there will be earthquakes everywhere...'

On another point related to something posted earlier on the Book of Revelation, I have read that most experts consider the Book of Revelation to be John recording a series or sequence of visions he received, but that they are visions of events that are not necessarily in chronological order.

So it seems it is more akin to how the secret of Fatima ('one secret in 3 distinct parts', according to Sister Lucia) was witnessed by the three seers; the first part was a vision of hell, the third part was another separate vision. So in the one secret of Fatima we have two distinct but interrelated visions.

God bless you.

I live on the west coast of Ireland, but not near the area where the quake was felt! Yesterday I was thinking to myself that because Ireland caved in last week and gave a resounding yes vote to the EU Fiscal Treaty, (I voted no), that the earthquake was a sign that it was bad judgement on our part. I feel that we have just agreed to a dictatorship from Brussels, and it's only a matter of time before they force unjust laws on us, such as abortion etc.

I agree there is a great Apostasy looming!

I saw it. I can totally understand why he'd keep quiet if it really happened. The minute a person tells others about a vision like that, they open themselves up to intense scrutiny. I know if something like that happened to me, I'd be extremely hesitant to open my mouth unless I was specifically directed to from Jesus/Mary.

It's a scary vision, though. I sincerely hope he was just having a bad dream that night.
