lifesitenews--2020-12-19--Ontario health minister promises ‘immunity passport’ for COVID vaccine recipients

ONTARIO , December 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — The health minister of Ontario reaffirmed once again that residents of Canada ’ s most populous province will need “ for lots of reasons ” a yet to be determined type of proof that they received the COVID-19 vaccine .
“ People will receive a confirmation of the vaccination when they receive their first dose .
They will get a receipt indicating that they ’ ve had their first dose .
When they get the second dose , they will receive confirmation .
We are just finalizing the format it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said Ontario ’ s health minister , Christine Elliott , to reporters Thursday , while taking questions after an announcement for new mental health funding .
Elliott added that after a person has received his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine , the government will issue him something “ more substantive ” than a simple receipt that he had the shot .
“ This is something that we ’ ve planned for all along , and we know that many people are going to need that confirmation for a whole variety of reasons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasons , ” said Elliott .
“ People will receive a receipt when they receive the first dose , and then , upon the second dose , when it ’ s been completed , they will receive something more substantive , as I said , because many people are going to need it for lots of reasons.
” There are questions as to whether a vaccine “ immunity passport ” would violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms , in particular Section 2 , which involves one ’ s conscience rights ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Section 7 , which protects one ’ s “ right to life , liberty and security of the person.
” Lisa Bildy , a lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms ( JCCF ) , told LifeSiteNews that for a government to “ threaten or mandate liberty restrictions ” against Canadians who do not want a COVID-19 vaccine is indeed a violation of one ’ s charter rights .
“ The government should make the Covid-19 vaccine available to all Canadians who want it , starting with those who are the most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of their involvement in the personal health decisions of Canadians , ” Bildy told LifeSiteNews .
“ To do otherwise , and particularly to threaten or mandate liberty restrictions on Canadians who make the perfectly reasonable assessment that they do not need or want such a vaccine , is a violation of the rights to freedom of conscience and belief , mobility rights , and the right to life , liberty and security of the person under the Charter .
If there ’ s no solid data on transmission , then there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of these rights.
” Ontario premier Doug Ford said he will not make a COVID-19 vaccine mandatory in Ontario but will urge people to take it .
Last week , Elliott also suggested that Ontario is looking at creating an “ immunity passport ” as proof for having taken the COVID-19 vaccine .
Without such a passport , one ’ s ability to move freely could be limited , she said .
Previously , Ontario ’ s chief medical officer , Dr. David Williams , said proof of COVID-19 vaccination might be made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
However , he said such a vaccine would not be mandatory .
Ted Kuntz , president of Vaccine Choice Canada ( VCC ) , a not-for-profit society founded by families who have suffered from vaccine reactions and injuries , recently told LifeSiteNews that any type of vaccine “ immunity passport ” is indeed a violation of one ’ s Charter rights .
“ These are egregious violations of our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as well as violations of international agreements including the Nuremberg Code and the Universal Declaration of Bioethics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not be tolerated , ” Kuntz told LifeSiteNews via email .
“ Any coercive measures as restrictions on travel , access to businesses or services would be a clear violation of the Nuremberg Code developed in response to the violations of the Nazi regime in Germany.

Christine Elliott declared that she expects people to need proof of COVID immunity to travel and work.
ONTARIO, December 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The health minister of Ontario reaffirmed once again that residents of Canada’s most populous province will need “for lots of reasons” a yet to be determined type of proof that they received the COVID-19 vaccine.
“People will receive a confirmation of the vaccination when they receive their first dose. They will get a receipt indicating that they’ve had their first dose. When they get the second dose, they will receive confirmation. We are just finalizing the format it’s going to take,” said Ontario’s health minister, Christine Elliott, to reporters Thursday, while taking questions after an announcement for new mental health funding.
Elliott added that after a person has received his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the government will issue him something “more substantive” than a simple receipt that he had the shot.
“This is something that we’ve planned for all along, and we know that many people are going to need that confirmation for a whole variety of reasons — travel, work-related, and other reasons,” said Elliott.
“People will receive a receipt when they receive the first dose, and then, upon the second dose, when it’s been completed, they will receive something more substantive, as I said, because many people are going to need it for lots of reasons.”
There are questions as to whether a vaccine “immunity passport” would violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, in particular Section 2, which involves one’s conscience rights; Section 6 regarding mobility rights; and Section 7, which protects one’s “right to life, liberty and security of the person.”
Lisa Bildy, a lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), told LifeSiteNews that for a government to “threaten or mandate liberty restrictions” against Canadians who do not want a COVID-19 vaccine is indeed a violation of one’s charter rights.
“The government should make the Covid-19 vaccine available to all Canadians who want it, starting with those who are the most vulnerable. That should be the end of their involvement in the personal health decisions of Canadians,” Bildy told LifeSiteNews.
“To do otherwise, and particularly to threaten or mandate liberty restrictions on Canadians who make the perfectly reasonable assessment that they do not need or want such a vaccine, is a violation of the rights to freedom of conscience and belief, mobility rights, and the right to life, liberty and security of the person under the Charter. If there’s no solid data on transmission, then there is simply no rational basis for the infringement of these rights.”
Ontario premier Doug Ford said he will not make a COVID-19 vaccine mandatory in Ontario but will urge people to take it.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/16/2020) - Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—has spent billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market. Now, the FDA has granted emergency approval to roll out the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and people in the UK and the US are already receiving it. Though the Pfizer vaccine was not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, it was tested using the HEK293 fetal cell line to create humanized mice. And, more unethical vaccines are reaching the finish line and are being funded and promoted by the HHS with our tax dollars. We must continue to demand that this stop and that a fully ethical vaccine be brought to market instead! SIGN and SHARE our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop using our money to support the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. _________________________________________________________________________________ Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—is spending billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market as quickly as possible. Now, two of the Operation Warp Speed vaccines (one created by Pfizer/BioNTech and one created by Moderna/NIH) are nearing the finish line, soon to be applying for emergency FDA approval for mass distribution. And, while LifeSite neither advocates for or against voluntary vaccination, there are several apparent problems with the vaccines being fast-tracked by HHS’ Operation Warp Speed. First among the vaccines’ major problems: they were tested using aborted fetal cells . Please SIGN and SHARE LifeSite’s urgent petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop funding and promoting this unethical practice, and bring a fully ethical vaccine to market instead. The production and testing of vaccines that use the remains of aborted children, regardless of when they were killed and at what point they were used in the process, is morally unacceptable and must be consistently opposed by the whole pro-life movement. And, although the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, the Personhood Alliance recently reported that the vaccines’ testing phases used the HEK293 aborted fetal cell line to create humanized mice. This stomach-churning practice transferred immortalized cells from a child killed in 1973 into mouse embryos, so that when the mice were born, they had tiny human lungs that researchers infected with COVID to test the vaccines. This type of Frankenscience has no place in a civilized society, certainly not one whose citizens are forced to fund it! Sign our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop supporting the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. We can make a difference if we raise our voices together, but we’re running out of time! Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition today!

lifesitenews--2020-12-20--LifeSite, Ted Cruz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. challenge COVID totalitarianism

December 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — There has been a massive flood of contradictory and false information being published about the Wuhan virus and the various vaccines that have recently been approved that allegedly prevent infection .

'The bizarre, lunatic, totalitarian' COVID 'cult' is 'not about vaccines or protecting people’s lives—it is instead profoundly anti-science, and is only focused on absolute [government] control of every aspect of our lives.'
December 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — There has been a massive flood of contradictory and false information being published about the Wuhan virus and the various vaccines that have recently been approved that allegedly prevent infection. And there has been a massive disinformation campaign against several already available, safe, effective, and very inexpensive preventative and “miracle” treatment medications for Wuhan infection.
Thankfully, thousands of ethical physicians, scientists, and others are now actively attempting to counter the flood of lies and extremely flawed narratives related to these issues, including,
– false justifications for a now huge increase again in catastrophic, medically and scientifically unnecessary lockdowns
– intense pressure to accept vaccination with the poorly tested, dangerous and never-before-tried mRNA vaccines
– what may likely be an inevitable, devastating loss of fundamental rights and freedoms for those who refuse to be vaccinated
– partly because it is impossible to give fully informed consent to such vaccination because there is inadequate, trustworthy information about its safety and effectiveness.
This has never before happened in history, especially for a virus that is now known to be less dangerous than the common flu, except for those over 70 with certain health issues. And even that category of persons has a very high recovery rate if they receive proper early treatment.
First off, I would encourage you to review my updated, in-depth, December 10 investigative report on 10 actions Trump must take to save us from impending globalist tyranny. It is a long read, but anyone I have talked to who has made the effort to read the document, view the videos, and investigate the links has expressed immense gratitude for having their eyes opened to many aspects about the virus that they had no idea about and which none of the mainstream media have reported.
Patrick Delaney’s explosive December 17 report, What is the real motivation for attempting to vaccinate millions of healthy people?, has also been updated with some amazing additional videos and information to help readers further explore what might be behind the disturbing, world-changing developments related to the Wuhan virus.
The added excerpt from a Children’s Health Defense video regarding the safety of the COVID-19 and all other vaccines is a goldmine of calmly presented questions and facts that I am sure will be greatly appreciated by most who view it.
Both mine and Delaney’s articles and the video below will really help you to understand why Senator Ted Cruz stated the following about the health tyranny that we have all been subjected to the past several months:
“This is a bizarre, lunatic, totalitarian cult. It’s not about vaccines or protecting people’s lives—it is instead profoundly anti-science, and is only focused on absolute govt control of every aspect of our lives.”
Following is an especially MUST-VIEW, recent presentation by Robert Kennedy, Jr. of Children’s Health Defense. Kennedy’s Message for Freedom and Hope provides a powerful, motivating overview of the “coup d’etat” by powerful international forces whom Kennedy claims “want to subvert our democracies and want to destroy our sovereignty and our control over our lives and our children’s health.”
He begins with by stating that his message is being presented
…to thousands of citizens, in 15 countries on all the continents in the world, who have come together today to protest this coup d’etat — by Big Data, by Big Telecom, by Big Tech, by the big oil and chemical companies, and by this global public health cartel led by Bill Gates and the W.H.O — and now amounts to two trillion dollars and wants to magnify and amplify its wealth and its power over our lives, over our liberties.
Kennedy asks a lot of questions in this video that we may not have thought of, but should all be asking. He stresses the great importance of honest, open debate on the issues of our day and the free flow of information, as opposed to the massive censoring of certain views that we are currently enduring.
He urges everyone to participate in the exchange of information and free debate and tells all of his viewers,
You are on the front lines of the most important battle in history and it is the battle to save democracy, and freedom, and human liberty, and human dignity from this totalitarian cartel that is trying to rob us – simultaneously in every nation in the world — of the rights that every human being is born with.
The founder of Children’s Health Defense ends by announcing that Children’s Health Defense is launching a daily information journal to help to generate that flow of information and debate.
Those are just a few, brief excerpts of statements in the video. I don’t want to post more because it is more important that you watch this great man, who makes it plain that he is willing to give his life for the truth.
Such leadership is a rarity in our great-leader-deprived current world. By watching his presentation, you will most effectively absorb his necessary message to the people of the world. Everyone needs to hear this inspiring oration at this critical time in history.
I must add that LifeSite does not necessarily fully agree with Children’s Health Defense on every issue that they cover, such as climate change and some of their environmental views and possibly more.

DC cardinal says he’ll give Communion to pro-abort Biden. Pope assigns him to life and family dicastery

December 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Historically anti-life and left-wing Wilton D. Cardinal Gregory , Archbishop of Washington , has again been appointed to the Dicastery for the Laity , Family and Life by Pope Francis .
The Pope has assigned a further nine of the cardinals he created at a recent consistory to various positions within the Roman Curia .
The D.C. bishop , who made headlines in June after excoriating the administrators of the John Paul II National Shrine for “ allowing ” Trump to visit and pray , had already been a member of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gregory to an office with “ life ” and “ family ” in its name might come as a shock , given his record on both topics .
While Bishop of Atlanta , Georgia , Gregory backed a campaign to outlaw abortion that made exceptions for rape and incest , despite the fact that the legislature was in a strongly pro-life position .
Following Gregory ’ s affiliation with the compromised “ pro-life ” group , the legislature capitulated .
Georgia Right to Life ’ s Dan Becker told LifeSiteNews in June that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a compromised position on life , which he did , the politicians took the easy route.
” Gregory has even been quoted as saying that “ birth is only the first moment of a person ’ s human dignity , ” contravening the Catholic teaching on the nature and sanctity of human life being from conception onwards .
The Washington Archdiocese later clarified that the archbishop ’ s “ full statement makes clear that respect must span the seamless garment of life from conception to natural death.
” Furthermore , Gregory has publicly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential hopeful Joe Biden Holy Communion , despite the politician ’ s ardent and unabashed support for the pro-abortion cause .
“ On my part , it ’ s a matter of the responsibility that I have as the archbishop to be engaged and to be in dialogue with him , even in those areas where we obviously have some differences , ” Gregory said .
The newly appointed cardinal has also been at odds with the Church ’ s teaching on homosexuality .
In 2013 , as bishop of Atlanta , Gregory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ removed for engaging in a homosexual affair .
In 2018 , Gregory appointed a pro-homosexualist priest as one of three “ spiritual guides ” in the diocese tasked with reaching out to victims of clerical sex abuse .
This decision was widely panned by faithful Catholics , who noted that clerical sex abuse is overwhelmingly homosexual in nature .
Gregory also has a friendship with pro-homosexual priest Father James Martin , S.J .
Gregory invited Martin to speak in the diocese of Atlanta on his book Building a Bridge .
Gregory even penned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying it is “ a wonderful book that challenges the institutional church to be in dialogue with the LGBT community , ” and that it “ has challenged a lot of people , because you do n't want to build a bridge if you already think you 're right .

PETITION UPDATE (3/15/21) -
Reports suggest that the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Conference (USCCB) is preparing a vote on what to do about pro-abortion Joe Biden (and, presumably, other abortion-promoting politicians) who continues to present himself (themselves) for Holy Communion.
Public excommunication would be a suitable response for Biden's obstinate, public and grave sin of scandalously promoting abortion.
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this important petition.

PETITION UPDATE (2/4/20)
Since Joe Biden was sworn-in on the 20th of January, he has wasted no time in signing Executive Orders to destroy the protections which former President Trump offered to the unborn and to the innocence and modesty of children of the United States.
In one executive order, Biden rescinded the Mexico City Policy prohibiting the federal government from spending taxpayer monies on abortion and the promotion of abortion.
And, in another executive order, Biden seeks to force girls' athletic programs, restrooms, and locker rooms to accept gender-confused males.
Since the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops was shamefully silent throughout the presidential campaign on the pre-eminent issues of abortion and gender ideology, and what Biden vowed he would do as president, it is cold comfort that their pro-life office is now speaking up about this Administration's wilful disregard for human life and for God's design of human nature (i.e., two biological sexes).
Stated plainly, Joe Biden is as bad as he said he would be, and the bishop, acting in unison (as the USCCB) have an obligation to the Lord (first) and to the faithful (second) to refuse Holy Communion to this grave public sinner.
With all due respect to these bishops, they diminish the Holy Eucharist and their high office, as well as cause grave scandal to the faithful, by dialoguing with a man who is promoting mass murder of the unborn against the constant teaching of the Church.
A man who continues to use the church as a backdrop for statements about how "Catholic/religious" he is, but, at the same time, is now doing everything in his power to protect the murder of the innocent, needs to publicly repent before dialogue can begin.
The bishops should not dialogue with or congratulate someone who has publicly betrayed the Church's teaching and who is leading others astray.
It's an embarrassment and a scandal for the bishops to continue to allow him to receive Holy Communion.

PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20)
Prior to the election on November 3, the U.S. bishops did not address Joe Biden’s anti-Catholic position regarding faith and morals as a unified body.
The USCCB, the organization to which every U.S. bishop belongs and which is staffed and led by bishops, remained disgracefully silent in the run-up to the election.
What were the bishops afraid of, losing their charitable tax status with the IRS, or being deprived of fat checks from the HHS (immigration programs) and USAID (foreign aid programs)?
Or, were they just too cowardly to clearly declare Christ's law to be above man's law and risk the ire of a Joe Biden as president?
Either way, the bishops’ lack of clarity in this regard is a terrible scandal in itself and probably greatly contributed to the possible election of a pro-abortion, anti-Catholic Catholic to the presidency.
Given the fact that exit polling shows Catholics split their vote 50-50 for Trump and Biden, even a slight deviation in the heavily-Catholic swing-states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania could have produced different results.
The bishops could have spoken out against Biden’s pro-abortion stance collectively, but, again, they were overwhelmingly and shamefully silent.
Because of this, they will be at least partly responsible for the policies advanced by a Biden administration, in the event that Biden is sworn into office.
However, the bishops can, even now, mitigate the damage done by their inaction by taking the following steps: 1) Speak with one voice, as the USCCB, and plainly condemn Biden's pro-abortion stance; 2) Publicly advise Biden not to present himself for Holy Communion because of his scandalous position on abortion and homosexual "marriage;" and, 3) Tell Biden to publicly repent of publicly promoting the wilfull murder of the preborn, sins against nature, and diminishing the natural family.
Thankfully, some individual bishops have spoken out forcefully on Biden's scandalous behavior, and his standing in the Church.
On November 9, Archbishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas tweeted: “A dark cloud has descended on this nation when the USCCB and Planned Parenthood speak in unison in support of a Biden-Harris administration that supports the slaughter of innocents by abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy.”
Additionally, Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver, Colorado and Archbishop Charles Chaput have both declared publicly that Joe Biden “should not receive Holy Communion."
But, to add insult to injury, Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C. has said that he will give Holy Communion to Biden because “it’s a matter of the responsibility that I have as the archbishop to be engaged and to be in dialogue with him, even in those areas where we obviously have some differences.”
And, Bishop W. Francis Malooly of Wilmington, Delaware and Bishop McElroy of San Diego also congratulated Biden in statements, but they have not indicated whether or not they would administer Holy Communion to him.
With all due respect to these bishops, they diminish the Holy Eucharist and their high office, as well as cause grave scandal to the faithful, by dialoguing with a man who is promoting mass murder of the unborn against the constant teaching of the Church.
A man who uses the church as a backdrop to make sickening political advertisements about how "Catholic/religious" he is, but, at the same time, says that he will do everything in his power to protect the murder of the innocent, needs to publicly repent before dialogue can begin.
The bishops should not dialogue with or congratulate someone who has publicly betrayed the Church's teaching and who is leading others astray.
It's an embarrassment and a scandal for the bishops to continue to allow him to receive Holy Communion.

PETITION UPDATE (9/29/20)
Cardinal Raymond Burke has stated that Democratic candidate Joe Biden should not receive Holy Communion because of his support for abortion.
In an interview for Thomas McKenna's Catholic Action for Faith and Family podcast, Cardinal Burke states the following (starting around 5:00):
First of all, I would tell him [Biden] not to approach to receive Holy Communion, out of charity toward him, because that would be a sacrilege and endanger the salvation of his own soul.
But, also, he should not approach to receive Holy Communion because he gives scandal to everyone, because if someone says, 'I'm a devout Catholic," and, at the same time is promoting abortion, it gives the impression to others that it's acceptable for a Catholic to be in favor of abortion.
Of course, it's absolutely not acceptable, and never has been, and never will be.
We give thanks for Cardinal Burke's frankness and clarity. And, we call on every U.S. Catholic bishop to follow Cardinal Burke's lead and call out Joe Biden for his bloody-minded hypocrisy on the issue of abortion.
To reiterate: You cannot be a Catholic and support abortion.
Thank you for continuing to sign this urgent petition.
___________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (8/17/20)
The Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, keeps claiming to be Catholic but has said he will do everything in his power to support abortion.
And, with his pick of California Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, Biden has just cemented abortion into the Democrats' 2020 presidential ticket.
Indeed, Harris is vehemently pro-abortion.
During her time as attorney general of California, Harris played a key role in defending Planned Parenthood over its sale of aborted baby parts (which violated multiple federal laws, according to undercover video of abortion industry personnel).
And, last year, Harris unveiled a plan to essentially force pro-life states to seek permission from the federal government before pro-life laws can take effect.
Additionally, Harris has dangerous views on religious liberty and freedom of speech.
Harris displayed anti-Catholic bigotry in the confirmation hearings of Judge Brian Buescher. Harris cited his membership in the “all-male society” the Knights of Columbus and its stances against abortion and same-sex “marriage” as grounds for rejecting Buescher for a federal district court in Nebraska.
And, David Daleiden, head of the pro-life investigative group Center for Medical Progress, wrote that from his firsthand experience, he considers Harris the “greatest threat to First Amendment civil rights our country has ever seen.”
Joe Biden has seriously erred by taking on Kamala Harris as his running mate, further distancing himself from the truths of the Catholic Faith, especially that every life is sacred from conception till natural death.
Please CLICK HERE to read an article which details one U.S. bishop's warning about the Biden-Harris ticket.
And, please continue to SIGN and SHARE this petition.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Of course, these two things are incompatible: you cannot be Catholic and pro-abortion.
And, a "Catholic" politician's responsibility in this regard is absolute: On pain of serious sin, he or she can never promote abortion because abortion is the wilful murder of innocent preborn human beings, and also because doing so causes grave scandal to the Church and the faithful.
Please SIGN this urgent petition asking the bishops of the United States to refuse to give Holy Communion to Joe Biden until he publicly repents from his scandalous promotion of abortion.
Biden recently promised to “codify Roe v. Wade” as president, adding, "my Justice Department will do everything in its power to stop the rash of state laws that so blatantly violate a woman’s protected, constitutional right to choose."
And, since starting his latest run for the presidency, Biden also flip-flopped against the Hyde Amendment, saying that he would allow federal funds to be spent on abortion - a position he claimed to be against for more than 40 years.
In short, Joe Biden will do everything in his power to enable and defend the wilful murder of innocent preborn human beings.
So, this should not be a hard decision for our U.S. bishops. In fact, in another circumstance, it was already done by an Illinois bishop.
Indeed, Bishop Paprocki, of Springfield, Illinois, invoked Canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law to withdraw Holy Communion from two Illinois state politicians who had worked to enact radical new abortion legislation in 2019.
Canon 915 states: "Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion."
Of course, no-one, least of all the bishops, wants anyone to be deprived of Holy Communion.
A politician who publicly and obstinately advocates for the murder of innocent preborn babies puts himself out-of-communion with the Church and her teaching.
Pro-abortion politicians should not think that they can advocate for the murder of the unborn and receive the Body of Christ at the same time. This would be to defile the Eucharist while giving scandal to the faithful.
Depriving politicians of Holy Communion is not just meant to prevent scandal; it is also designed to bring a grave public sinner to repentance. In this way, such an action is meant to be for the good of their souls, too.
Thank you for SIGNING this urgent petition which calls on the U.S. Catholic bishops to refuse to admit Joe Biden to Holy Communion until he publicly repents from his scandalous promotion of abortion.

lifesitenews--2020-12-19--Joe Biden says he and Jill were Obama admin’s ‘house Catholics,’ again praises Pope Francis

WASHINGTON , D.C. , December 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Joe Biden described himself and his wife as the Obama administration ’ s “ house Catholics ” when he discussed Pope Francis on TV .
During the Bidens ’ appearance on the Late Show with comedian Stephen Colbert this week , the Democrat presidential candidate said that this is why he and his wife had been asked to accompany Pope Francis during his September 2015 trip to the United States .
“ The pope has been incredibly generous to my family , ” the former U.S. vice president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visit , we were the house Catholics , and we were the ones showing the pope around.
” The Bidens ’ 46-year-old son Beau had died of brain cancer , four months earlier , and Biden told Colbert that Pope Francis had asked to meet the Biden family at the hanger of the airport .
“ We had 16 family members there , and he didn ’ t just speak about Beau , he spoke in detail about Beau , about who he was , and about family values , and about forgiveness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
According to ABC news , Biden thanked Pope Francis in a 2016 speech at the Vatican for “ counseling his family ” about Beau ’ s death during his six day visit to the U.S. '' I wish every grieving parent , brother , sister , mother , father would have the benefit of his words , his prayer , his presence , '' Biden said .
“ He provided us with more comfort than even he , I think , will ever understand.
” Biden , who has long been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that he was “ a great admirer of His Holiness.
” He also told Colbert that he had just had a phone call from “ His Eminence , ” Cardinal Wilton Gregory , the Archbishop of Washington , D.C. , who had recently returned from the Vatican with a book for the Democrat leader , signed by Pope Francis .
The first “ wedding ” Biden officiated as vice president was between two men , and he campaigned in 2020 on a platform of forcing taxpayers to fund abortion on demand throughout @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as litigation about mail-in votes and fraudulent ballots continues in some swing states , liberal American media have begun to refer to Biden as “ president-elect.
” Colbert began the segment by reflecting that in his own youth , American Catholics had an “ icon ” of President John F. Kennedy and of Senator Robert F. Kennedy on their walls , but that “ more hasn ’ t been made ” of Biden ’ s Catholicism .
Reflecting that John F. Kennedy had had to “ allay ” Americans ’ fears that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the talk show host jokingly asked Biden how Pope Francis was going to tell him how to govern .
The joke apparently went over Biden ’ s head , for instead of responding directly , he volunteered that Pope Francis had “ personally called ” to congratulate him .
As this happened in November , it would seem that there has not been a follow-up call .
In June 2019 , The Hill reported that Biden had abandoned his support of the Hyde Amendment .
The Hyde Amendment bans most federal funding of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decades , but changed his mind a day after restating his fidelity to the measure when pro-abortion Democrats objected .
The Planned Parenthood CEO of the time , Dr. Leana Wen , and Ilyse Hogue , the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America , praised Biden for his about-face .
Hogue stated that “ support for abortion rights ” was a “ core ” Democratic Party value .
But the question of whether or not Biden is a Catholic in good standing has been an issue since the 1980s , when he and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stance to appease the abortion lobby .
In 2008 , Scranton ’ s Bishop Joseph F. Martino stated that Joe Biden should not present himself for Holy Communion in his diocese .
Biden ’ s own bishop of the time , Bishop Michael Saltarelli of Wilmington , asked pro-abortion Catholic politicians not to present themselves for the sacrament but did not enforce the request .
Saltarelli did , however , veto a decision by Biden ’ s Catholic alma mater to name a student center after him .
In 2004 , then-Cardinal Theodore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following revelations that he was a sexual predator , concealed that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had decreed that “ obstinately ” pro-abortion Catholic politicians should not be given Holy Communion .
But despite the decree , Catholic bishops in the United States are still divided on the question of whether or not the high-profile Biden may receive the sacrament .
Recently Cardinal Leo Burke , Archbishop Charles L. Chaput , and Bishop Samuel J. Aquila of Denver have all indicated that the former Vice-President must not receive Holy Communion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Washington , Cardinal Wilton Gregory has indicated that he will not bar Biden from the sacrament , noting that Biden received the sacrament in Washington , D.C. as vice president .
Biden was vice president of the U.S. from January 2009 until January 2017 , during the tenure of McCarrick protégé Cardinal Donal Wuerl .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

lifesitenews--2020-12-19--Baby Jesus community cares for ‘miracle’ babies who survived abortions

BRAZIL , December 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – While there was no place in the Inn for the baby Jesus , a Catholic Brazilian man believes God has called him to make a place in his home , a place he calls the Community of Baby Jesus , for the 42 disabled children he has adopted , many of whom survived failed abortions .
Comunidade Jesús Menino ( Community of Baby Jesus ) is nestled about an hour and a half north of Rio di Janeiro .
There , Tônio Tavares cares for his adopted children , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ autism and cerebral palsy .
The community was featured in the HUMAN Life movie .
“ This is the message of the Catholic Community of the Child Jesus : it is to embrace life , to acknowledge life , to respect life throughout its development : from conception until natural death , ” Tavares told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview .
“ Life , at the present time , must continue to be defended : always , always , always.
” Tavares explained that his community has suffered from the coronavirus outbreak in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Not being able to be with him as he died “ one of the strongest griefs I have had as a father.
” “ The coronavirus crisis has brought pain to the whole world , and not only financial pain , but also physical and psychological pain , and religious pain because people could not go to religious services or Mass , ” Tavares said .
Tavares explained that his community was “ under lockdown ” since March 12 .
“ Some of the sons of the community were affected by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was in isolation and we never were able to have contact with him .
This is one of the strongest griefs I have had as a father .
The great fear of the community was not to be able to say goodbye to Rodrigo , ” he said .
“ It was indeed impossible to visit him because he was completely isolated .
His burial only took 20 minutes and we could not be there either.
” “ The pain of not being close to a person when he gives up his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outbreak has hurt the Baby Jesus community financially , too .
With many businesses being forced to close down , not only in Brazil but all around the world , “ the people who used to give to us are in bad shape.
” “ People have had to close down their business , others were laid off from their jobs .
All this has caused and is still causing a great deal of harm to charitable works that [ exist ] thanks to the mercy of others.
” Tavares relies on “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ donations that pay for his children ’ s expensive medical care as well as their day-to-day needs like milk and food .
The Baby Jesus community is a witness to the value and inherent dignity of every human being in a world that increasingly sees disabled children as disposable or unwanted – and on a continent that is facing a push to radicalize its abortion laws .
The lower house of Argentina ’ s Congress voted to legalize abortion in the fourteenth week of pregnancy December 11 , and this year pro-abortion campaigners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rape victim to argue Brazil should change its laws .
One of Tavares ’ s children is a nine-year-old named Jean “ who is completely anencephalous.
” A prenatal anencephaly diagnosis is one of the few reasons abortion is legally permitted in Brazil .
“ For you and for all defenders of life if all over the world he is the great answer of God , ” said Tavares .
“ It is impossible in our eyes that a child who has undergone various forms of violence in order to avoid his birth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his mother for not being normal , should have managed to see the light.
” “ People can not understand this miracle .
The miracle is indisputable .
He has grown and he is alive .
In the middle of all our needs and everything we ask , we know that we have in our midst a living miracle that we can see with our own eyes .
This is what life is worth .
This is what I want to tell LifeSite readers : this is what your prayer is worth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worth , and with us you can continue to defend life .
Jean is the symbol of life .
Thank you , every one of you .
May we continue in unity in order to build this bridge to take us to Heaven that gives us life.

The Baby Jesus community is a witness to the value and inherent dignity of every human being in a world that increasingly sees disabled children as disposable or unwanted – and on a continent that is facing a push to radicalize its abortion laws.
BRAZIL, December 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – While there was no place in the Inn for the baby Jesus, a Catholic Brazilian man believes God has called him to make a place in his home, a place he calls the Community of Baby Jesus, for the 42 disabled children he has adopted, many of whom survived failed abortions.
Comunidade Jesús Menino (Community of Baby Jesus) is nestled about an hour and a half north of Rio di Janeiro. There, Tônio Tavares cares for his adopted children, who have a range of disabilities such as autism and cerebral palsy. The community was featured in the HUMAN Life movie.
“This is the message of the Catholic Community of the Child Jesus: it is to embrace life, to acknowledge life, to respect life throughout its development: from conception until natural death,” Tavares told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview. “Life, at the present time, must continue to be defended: always, always, always.”
Tavares explained that his community has suffered from the coronavirus outbreak in the loss of one his adopted sons. Not being able to be with him as he died “one of the strongest griefs I have had as a father.”
“The coronavirus crisis has brought pain to the whole world, and not only financial pain, but also physical and psychological pain, and religious pain because people could not go to religious services or Mass,” Tavares said.
Tavares explained that his community was “under lockdown” since March 12.
“Some of the sons of the community were affected by the coronavirus, one even died, but he was in isolation and we never were able to have contact with him. This is one of the strongest griefs I have had as a father. The great fear of the community was not to be able to say goodbye to Rodrigo,” he said. “It was indeed impossible to visit him because he was completely isolated. His burial only took 20 minutes and we could not be there either.”
“The pain of not being close to a person when he gives up his soul is very great.”
The coronavirus outbreak has hurt the Baby Jesus community financially, too. With many businesses being forced to close down, not only in Brazil but all around the world, “the people who used to give to us are in bad shape.”
“People have had to close down their business, others were laid off from their jobs. All this has caused and is still causing a great deal of harm to charitable works that [exist] thanks to the mercy of others.”
Tavares relies on “the providence of God” to obtain donations that pay for his children’s expensive medical care as well as their day-to-day needs like milk and food.
The Baby Jesus community is a witness to the value and inherent dignity of every human being in a world that increasingly sees disabled children as disposable or unwanted – and on a continent that is facing a push to radicalize its abortion laws. The lower house of Argentina’s Congress voted to legalize abortion in the fourteenth week of pregnancy December 11, and this year pro-abortion campaigners used the tragic case of a 10-year-old rape victim to argue Brazil should change its laws.
One of Tavares’s children is a nine-year-old named Jean “who is completely anencephalous.” A prenatal anencephaly diagnosis is one of the few reasons abortion is legally permitted in Brazil.
“For you and for all defenders of life if all over the world he is the great answer of God,” said Tavares. “It is impossible in our eyes that a child who has undergone various forms of violence in order to avoid his birth, who was attacked in the womb of his mother for not being normal, should have managed to see the light.”
“People cannot understand this miracle. The miracle is indisputable. He has grown and he is alive. In the middle of all our needs and everything we ask, we know that we have in our midst a living miracle that we can see with our own eyes. This is what life is worth. This is what I want to tell LifeSite readers: this is what your prayer is worth, this is what your faith is worth, and with us you can continue to defend life. Jean is the symbol of life. Thank you, every one of you. May we continue in unity in order to build this bridge to take us to Heaven that gives us life.”
Through LifeSite’s brand-new platform LifeFunder, readers this Christmas can contribute directly to the Comunidade Jesús Menino and help Tavares in providing a place for those the world considers to be among the least.

The new vaccine has a small piece of COVID-19 genetic material (messenger RNA) that 'instructs' cells in the human body 'to make the virus’s distinctive "spike" protein.'
WASHINGTON, D.C., December 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The Unites States Food and Drug Administration has authorized the emergency use of a second COVID-19 vaccine.

There is some debate concerning the moral use of the new Moderna vaccine, with Catholic bioethicists divided on the extent to which material derived from an aborted child was used in its development. Stacy Trasancos of the St. Philip’s Institute in Tyler, Texas revealed in the Catholic Register in November that HEK293 cells derived from a baby aborted in were “used for spike protein and mRNA expression to develop and test the [Moderna] vaccine.”

“The precise date is not known anymore. The fetus, as far as I can remember, was completely normal. Nothing was wrong. The reasons for the abortion were unknown to me. I probably knew it at that time, but it got lost, all this information.”
Van der Eb also admitted, regarding a cell line he developed in 1985, to using the retina of a human baby aborted at 18 weeks’ gestation.
A number of experts have stated that mass vaccinations are not essential to end the coronavirus crisis. In October, Dr. Michael Yeadon, once Pfizer’s most senior researcher, wrote:
There is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. I’ve never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines. You do not vaccinate people who aren’t at risk from a disease. You also don’t set about planning to vaccinate millions of fit and healthy people with a vaccine that hasn’t been extensively tested on human subjects.
In an interview published earlier this month, Dr. Theresa Deisher, who holds a doctorate in Molecular and Cellular Physiology from Stanford, said that “this virus to date has less than a 0.03% fatality rate and most of those people, I believe it's 92% or above, have other health problems; we're making a vaccine at warp speed for a virus that doesn't look like it's going to need a vaccine.” Deisher also confirmed that refusing to take any COVID-19 vaccine was a rational decision.
“Available data on Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine associated risks in pregnancy,” the FDA’s fact sheet for healthcare providers states. It also says:
In clinical studies, the adverse reactions in participants 18 years of age and older were pain at the injection site (92.0%), fatigue (70.0%), headache (64.7%), myalgia (61.5%), arthralgia (46.4%), chills (45.4%), nausea/vomiting (23.0%), axillary swelling/tenderness (19.8%), fever (15.5%), swelling at the injection site (14.7%), and erythema at the injection site (10.0%).
The U.K. government, meanwhile, has advised that pregnant women should not receive the Pfizer vaccine, which it recently approved, and should avoid pregnancy for two months after receiving the jab.
