lifesitenews--2020-10-15--Kamala spokesman, Democrat PAC staffer now hold top comms posts at Twitter, Facebook

October 15 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Twitter ’ s efforts to suppress a New York Post article about Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter come with renewed interest over the political biases of its top officials , including a communications officer who previously worked for Biden ’ s running mate , Sen. Kamala Harris .
The ongoing debate over free speech on social media took on new urgency Wednesday when Twitter flagged as “ potentially harmful ” a report in the Post about emails indicating that Hunter Biden introduced his father , then the Vice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vadym Pozharskyi , a top adviser to the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma , less than a year before the elder Biden openly pressured the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor tasked with investigating the company .
The Post ’ s Twitter account has been locked , and numerous accounts have found themselves unable to tweet the link to the report .
Those who could were treated to a generic “ this link may be unsafe ” disclaimer before being able to click through to the report .
Facebook communications representative Andy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its distribution on our platform.
” Stone ’ s bio reveals that he previously worked for the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee , the pro-Democrat House Majority PAC , and the offices of California Democrats Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Jerry McNerney .
Also noteworthy is Twitter senior communications manager Nick Pacilio , who previously served as press secretary for Harris .
Fox News reported that Twitter insists Pacilio has no role in enforcement decisions , but the connection is noteworthy in light of his former boss ’ past demands that the company suspend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stone and Pacilio ’ s records are consistent with a bevy of information about the prevalent left-wing leanings within Facebook and Twitter .
Two Facebook whistleblowers came forward this summer to attest that the platform aggressively discriminates against conservatives on a global scale for the purpose of influencing election outcomes .
One provided footage of content moderators openly discussing how they would like to delete “ every Donald Trump post I see on the timeline ” and “ delete all Republicans ... for terrorism ” if they so much as post a photo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other described witnessing moderators “ deleting on average 300 posts or actioning 300 posts a day ” in a way “ that just targeted conservatives or favored liberals , ” with personnel equating Trump supporters with violent hate groups , while expressly making an exception for overtly-hateful posts by the moderators ’ LGBT allies in the name of supporting so-called “ pride ” month .
Twitter , meanwhile , has restricted multiple Trump tweets since May on a variety of grounds , most recently one in which the president accurately conveyed the latest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doctors after his bout with COVID-19 .
Twitter also defines referring to people by their actual sex as “ hateful conduct.
” In response to the ensuing uproar , Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted that the company ’ s “ communication around our actions ” was “ not great , ” and Twitter claimed the report was censored because it contained images that “ include personal and private information — like email addresses and phone numbers , ” and violated the company ’ s prohibition on “ hacked materials ” ( the Post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hacking , and Twitter does not generally suppress stories about illicitly-obtained personal information , such as President Donald Trump ’ s tax returns ) .
Various Republican lawmakers have demanded Twitter and Facebook explain themselves under oath , and Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri has called on the Federal Elections Commission to investigate whether their suppression of the story , less than a month before the presidential election , qualifies as an illegal in-kind contribution to the Biden campaign .

PETITION UPDATE (12/11/2020)
Right before Thanksgiving, YouTube deleted a LifeSite video of a distinguished Canadian physician protesting the "unfounded public hysteria" over COVID-19 and accused us of spreading "medical misinformation."
Our account was suspended, and we were prohibited from posting videos on our YouTube channel for one week. And, while that may not seem like a big deal, it's a huge deal for a news organization like LifeSite.
Then, earlier this week, YouTube again suspended our account – this time for two weeks – over an episode of The Bishop Strickland Show wherein Bishop Strickland said he would not take an unethical COVID-19 vaccine.
We were able to appeal the suspension, and our request was granted.
This means that in YouTube's three-strikes-and-you're-out content-policing, idea-cleansing scheme, we are back down to one strike. But, we still face the threat of losing our account permanently.
And, we're not the only ones.
In a recent turn of events, YouTube just announced that it will remove videos alleging widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
But, what is YouTube afraid of? The truth???
Thankfully, however, there is a one, big bright spot on the horizon: 48 states filed suit against Facebook just this week.
And, although this seems like a step in the right direction, the draconian measures which YouTube just rolled out, which are already wielded by Twitter, are an assault against free speech.
So, the fight for freedom of speech against Big Tech goes on. And, we must do everything we can to protect it!

PETITION UPDATE (11/18/2020)
Everyone thought the censorship by Big Tech corporations would decrease after the 2020 election, but the truth is that censorship is being felt just as much as it was before the election.
And, given the election outcome, perhaps Big Tech censorship now is even more consequential than it was before the election!
The two biggest social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, and other Big Tech companies, are still censoring and suppressing stories and posts favorable to conservatives, and especially anything that has to do with election fraud.
Here are a few recent examples:
Women for America First organized the March for Trump on November 14, which was shut down by Facebook, MailChimp and Eventbrite. Despite Big Tech’s best efforts to cancel the event, the march went on and gathered a huge crowd.
Twitter has been suppressing a large number of President Trump’s Tweets. Most of his Tweets have been flagged arbitrarily with a warning stating: “This claim about election fraud is disputed."
Please READ this recent article about Big Tech's attempt to choke information conerning the recent Million MAGA March in Washington, DC: '5 things mainstream media won’t tell you about massive DC ‘Stop the Steal’ rally'
Then, please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, which calls on the Congress, the president, and governors to defend freedom of speech as Big Tech continues their rampant censorship.
PETITION UPDATE (10/15/2020)
In a remarkable development, Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will be issuing subpoenas to Twitter's Jack Dorsey and Facebook's Mark Zuckerburg for their company's suppression of two critical expose news stories about how Hunter Biden and the Biden Family allegedly profited from business deals made because of Joe Biden's position as Vice President.
Please WATCH LifeSite's exclusive video of the announcement by Senator Ted Cruz below.
According to the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Lindsey Graham, the subpoenas will be issued next Tuesday, for hearings to be held on Friday of next week.
This is a MASSIVE development, and should be welcomed by those who champion freedom of speech.
Again, this is all happening because Twitter and Facebook refuse to allow their members to share stories which would be favorable to conservatives.
Here's the timeline:
Yesterday, Twitter and Facebook suppressed a NY Post story about how Hunter Biden allegedly profited from introducing a Ukrainian businessman to his then-Vice President father, Joe Biden. The story also alleges that Vice President Biden then subsequently pressured Ukrainian authorities to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the businessman's company.
And, just this morning, Twitter suppressed another expose by the NY Post alleging that the Biden Family improperly profitted from deals made with one of the largest Chinese energy companies because of Vice President Biden's position in government.
But, right after the story broke, Senator Cruz tried to share the latest story on Twitter and was blocked. Twitter says that they are blocking the stories because they claim that the information was obtained illegally. However, Twitter showed no problem allowing illegally obtained information about President Trump's tax returns to be shared.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, which calls on the Congress, the president, and governors to defend freedom of speech as Big Tech continues their rampant censorship.

PETITION UPDATE (9/17/2020)
Big Tech is out to kill free speech. LifeSite is out to protect it!
LifeSite has been digging deep into the many claims of liberal bias and selective censorship of pro-life, pro-family, and conservative voices on social media.
And, we are now launching our new series 'Uncensored: Big Tech vs. Free Speech', which will unpack how the actions of Big Tech censors actually affect conservative and Christian organization and individuals.
Please WATCH the first video in our series featuring Brigitte Gabriel, the Founder of ACT For America, one of the nation's premier national security grassroots organizations.
Ms. Gabriel's organization, ACT For America, has been targeted by Big Tech especially in the manipulation of search results.
Big Tech “think[s] they are God and they are exercising their godly power over everybody else,” Gabriel explained. "Because in today's world, anytime you want to find out any information about somebody, what do you do? Google. You go to the internet to find out some information about them. When you research anything about somebody, the first thing that comes up [in the search results] is the Southern Poverty Law Center’s labeling of ‘hate groups.’”
“And who are the ‘hate groups’? Family Research Council is a hate group because they are pro-family. American Family Radio is a hate group…LifeSiteNews is a hate group. My organization is a hate group because we sound the alarm about terrorism and protecting our constitutional freedom. And so they try to character assassinate you. And they control the language.”
LifeSite's research shows that Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and others have become far too dangerous for democracy.
They can and do sway elections and public opinion in whatever direction they want, primarily by manipulating search results, tracking our online behavior, and by blocking truthful content from their platforms.
Today, LifeSite is starting to fight back, with facts and with stories of conservatives and Christians who are being negatively impacted by Big Tech's liberal bias.
Please continue to follow our 'Big Tech vs. Free Speech' series which aims to launch a new video each week for the next eight weeks.
And, please sign our petition demanding that Big Tech monopolies are broken up. Thank you!

ORIGINAL PETITION BACKGROUND TEXT:
The outrageous erasing of the White Coat Summit from the internet is only the latest in a long series of brazen acts of censorship against conservatives and all those who support legitimate free speech.
You may agree or disagree with the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine against the coronavirus, but everyone should agree on this point:
No Big Tech company should have the power to erase from the internet the medical opinions of licensed practicing doctors simply because they do not like what they have to say about the coronavirus or their experience treating it. Americans and other free peoples do not need leftist computer programmers deciding what the best course of medical treatment is for them.
Google/Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Apple and their Big Tech friends want to control what you see, what you read, what you think, and ultimately, how you vote. Not only do they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying congress and buttering up big Washington DC think tanks, but now they brazenly and directly censor any content they don't want you to see.
Big Tech, like other interest groups, aggressively lobby to help their businesses thrive, but increasingly, Big Tech is using blatant internet censorship to impose its radical world view over those they consider to be "deplorables."
This must stop, but it won't unless we demand it as forcefully as legally possible. We believe that we have reached the point were Big Tech must be broken up if legitimate free speech is going to survive and continue to thrive on the internet.
Please sign our petition to demand real consequences for Big Tech's suppression of legitimate free speech.
In 2016, emails revealed by Fox News' Tucker Carlson proved that Google tried to influence the election by affecting voter turnout. Thankfully they failed. But they didn't give up. Instead, they have been preparing and testing how to manipulate information to continue to abuse their monopolistic power.
In 2018, Google/Youtube et. al. succeeded in manipulating the Irish abortion referendum by blacklisting pro-life videos, manipulating pro-life search terms and results and intentionally withholding pro-life information. Again, this is not an opinion or a conspiracy theory, Project Veritas obtained first hand information proving the intentional censorship by Big Tech.
And the Coronavirus has just made things worse. You see, scared people are more easily manipulated into giving up their freedom of speech. Children are being kept from going to school, tens of millions of Americans are out of work, and rioting has broken out in most major American cities.
Now, more than ever, freedom of speech is necessary to secure all of our freedoms. Freedom of speech is crucial to truly exercise the freedom to vote for the person that best represents one's own views, or the freedom to decide what course of medical treatment to accept - especially the decision to control what vaccines are administered to our children.
Some experts, like Dr. Robert Epstein, a behavioral psychologist who has testified before congress against Big Tech believes that we may already be too late to control Big Tech's tyrannical control over information.
President Trump took a step in the right direction with his Executive Order calling for increased regulation of Big Tech. But much more can be done and needs to be done right now.
In an era where almost everything is polarized, there is an overwhelming support for breaking up the Big Tech monopolies. A recent Pew poll found that 75% of Americans believe that Big Tech companies have too much influence.
It is time to bring serious accountability to Big Tech for their attempts to use their monopolies to kill free speech.
It is time to break up Big Tech.

lifesitenews--2020-10-15--Viganò issues grave warning to bishops who are silent on abortion during 2020 US election

October 14 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – “ Silence on abortion is a terrible sign of the spiritual and moral deviance in that part of the Hierarchy which denies its very own mission because it has denied Christ , ” said Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò , the former papal representative to the United States , in an interview with LifeSiteNews today .
In a message directed to his brother Bishops in the US , the former papal representative to America says , “ I remind my brother Bishops that they were anointed with the Holy Chrism as athletes of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the struggle between God and the Adversary.
” You have the ‘ grace of state ’ , he tells the bishops , “ to be heard by your flock , who recognizes in you the voice of the Divine Shepherd ( Jn 10:2-3 ) .
Do not be afraid to proclaim the Gospel of Christ , just as the Apostles and the Bishops who succeeded them did not fear martyrdom.
” Archbishop Viganò prays that the good example of the few bishops and pastors in America who are speaking out for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example to others .
“ I pray that the few , courageous Pastors who raise their voices to defend the inviolable and non-negotiable principles which the Lord has established in natural law , may be joined by those who today hesitate out of fear , timidity , or a false sense of prudence , ” he says .
The archbishop who was apostolic nuncio to the United States till 2016 , and worked with many of the bishops active today in the States , gives them this grave warning : “ just as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child , whom she should love , protect , and bring forth into this earthly life , so in the present fraud , the Church , willed by God to bring forth souls to eternal life , is found killing them herself spiritually in her own womb , because of the betrayal of her own Ministers.
” The archbishop concludes by asking the faithful , who he says are “ disoriented by the silence of so many fainthearted shepherds , to raise their prayers to Heaven , invoking from the Paraclete those graces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the most hardened and rebellious heart.
” “ Offer your sacrifices , your penances , and your sufferings in sickness for the Church and for your Pastors , ” he added .

Three questions from John-Henry Westen to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò What is your opinon on Fratelli Tutti , particularly its silence regarding abortion , especially in light of what the encyclical defines as the “ biggest concerns ” for politicians ?
Fratelli Tutti , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ motivate the actions of politicians , mentions the “ phenomenon of social and economic exclusion , with its baneful consequences : human trafficking , the marketing of human organs and tissues , the sexual exploitation of boys and girls , slave labor , including prostitution , the drug and weapons trade , terrorism and international organized crime.
” [ 1 ] These are all plagues that need to be denounced , but which I believe are already recognized as such by many people .
The focal point , which is much more important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mentioned in the Encyclical , is abortion , which is tragically claimed today as a right .
[ 2 ] This deafening silence concerning the most odious crime in the eyes of God – because it is committed upon an innocent and defenseless child depriving it of life – betrays the twisted vision of this ideological manifesto that is in the service of the New World Order .
Its slanted vision lays in psychologically prostrated submission to the requests of mainstream thought , while looking at the teachings of the Gospel with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consider it unthinkable and outdated .
The spiritual and transcendent dimension is completely ignored , as are natural and Catholic morality .
But what brotherhood could ever exist between people , if killing an innocent child is considered irrelevant ?
How can one condemn social exclusion while remaining silent on the most criminal of social exclusions , that of a child who has a right to live , to grow , to be loved and to love , adore and serve God and attain eternal life ?
What is the point of addressing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ joined in brotherhood with one who dismembers a child in the womb of its mother , one who sucks the child ’ s brains out the instant before birth ?
How can one place brotherhood ahead of the horror of those who poison the sick or the elderly , who are denied any chance of participating in Our Lord ’ s Passion through suffering ?
What respect for nature can be invoked , when the gender of a person , written into our chromosomes , can be changed , or when a sterile @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could be considered a family ?
Does not the destructive fury of “ mother earth ” apply to those who , by altering the wonderful work of the Creator , assume the right to modify the DNA of plants , animals , and human beings ?
Fratelli Tutti is an encyclical that not only lacks Faith , but also Hope and Charity .
The voice of the Divine Shepherd and Physician of souls does not echo in its language , but rather the rapacious wolf ’ s growl or the mercenary ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is no breath of love either for God or for man , because in order to truly desire the good of modern man it is necessary to wake him out of his hypnotic spell of do-goodery , ecologism , pacifism , ecumenism , and globalism .
In order to want the good of sinful and rebellious man , it is necessary to make him understand that by distancing himself from his Creator and Lord he will end up being a slave of Satan and of himself .
No sense of brotherhood with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ God .
It will not be the world nor philanthropists who will judge him , but Our Lord Himself , who died on the Cross to save him .
The Lord is the salvation of His people , who shall be heard in tribulation as long as they listen to His law .
Our Lord tells us in no uncertain terms : “ Without Me you can do nothing ” ( Jn 15:8 ) .
The utopia of the Tower of Babel , no matter how it may update itself and appear under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the New World Order , is destined to collapse stone upon stone , because it is not founded on the Cornerstone who is Christ .
“ Behold they are one people , and they have all one language ; and this is only the beginning of what they will do ; and nothing that they propose to do will not be impossible for them .
Come , let us go down , and there confuse their language , that they may not understand one another ’ s speech.
” ( Gn 11:4-7 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fratelli Tutti envisions an earthly paradise that lays its foundations on refusing to recognize the Kingship of Christ over societies and the entire world ; on being silent about the scandal of the Cross , considered as a “ divisive ” rather than the only hope of salvation for humanity ; on forgetting that the social injustices and the evil present in the world are consequences of sin , and that only by conforming to the will of God can we hope to foster peace and harmony among men .
Human beings can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by recognizing together the Fatherhood of God .
The Encyclical lacks Hope , understood as the theological virtue infused by God into the soul by which we desire the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life , placing our trust in Christ ’ s promises and relying not on our strength , but on the help of the Grace of the Holy Spirit .
[ 4 ] Hoping that a horizontal brotherhoodcan guarantee peace and justice has nothing supernatural about it , because it does not look to the Kingdom of Heaven , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christ , and it does not consider Divine Grace necessary , placing its trust in man who is corrupted by original sin and therefore inclined to evil .
Anyone who feeds such false hopes – for example by stating that “ there is no need to believe in God to go to heaven ” [ 5 ] – does not perform an act of charity .
On the contrary : this encourages the wicked on the path of sin and perdition , making themselves complicit in their damnation and their despair .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ I said to you , that you shall die in your sins .
For if you believe not that I am He , you shall die in your sin ” ( Jn 8:24 ) .
I add , with great pain , that lately the answer of the Church in the face of evil , death , sickness , suffering and injustices in the world is lacking , if not completely absent .
It is as if the Gospel has nothing to say to modern man , or as if what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I don ’ t want to sell useless recipes , this is the reality.
” [ 6 ] One ’ s blood runs cold when reading these words : “ God is unjust ?
Yes , He was unjust with His Son , by sending Him to the cross.
” [ 7 ] There is no need to refute this statement ; it is enough to observe that if we deny that sin is the cause of the suffering and death that afflicts humanity , we inevitably end up placing the responsibility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ unjust ” and therefore excluding Him from our very own horizon .
From here we understand how the pursuit of human brotherhood is found outlined in the words of the Psalmist : “ The kings of the earth rise up , and princes take counsel together , against the Lord and against His Anointed ” ( Ps 2:2 ) .
Thus the Church – or rather her counterfeit that eclipses her almost entirely – does not offer a Catholic answer anymore to the man who is hopeless and thirsting for Truth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and suffering whose root cause is sin , placing the responsibility on God and blaspheming Him as “ unjust.
” Your Excellency , I imagine that you have seen how pro-life leaders in the United States are begging the Bishops to openly declare that abortion is the preeminent question during this presidential election .
There have been various Bishops who have said the exact opposite and now use the points discussed in the encyclical of Pope Francis in support of their ideas .
What advice would give to your brother Bishops and to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a terrible sign of the spiritual and moral deviance in that part of the Hierarchy which denies its very own mission because it has denied Christ .
And just as in abortion the mother kills her own child , whom she should love , protect , and bring forth into this earthly life , so in the present fraud , the Church , willed by God to bring forth souls to eternal life , is found killing them herself spiritually in her own womb , because of the betrayal of her own Ministers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christ does not spare even His Most Holy Mother , whose divine Motherhood is hated by Satan , because through Her the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity became Man to redeem us .
If we are friends of the Blessed Virgin , Her enemies are our enemies , according to what has been established by the Lord in the Protoevangelium : “ I will put enmity between thee and the Woman , and between your offspring and Hers ” ( Gen 3:15 ) .
I remind my brother Bishops that they were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Faith , not as neutral spectators of the struggle between God and the Adversary .
I pray that the few , courageous Pastors who raise their voices to defend the inviolable and non-negotiable principles which the Lord has established in natural law , may be joined by those who today hesitate out of fear , timidity , or a false sense of prudence .
You have the “ grace of state ” to be heard by your flock , who recognizes in you the voice of the Divine Shepherd ( Jn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to proclaim the Gospel of Christ , just as the Apostles and the Bishops who succeeded them did not fear martyrdom .
I ask the faithful , disoriented by the silence of so many fainthearted shepherds , to raise their prayers to Heaven , invoking from the Paraclete those graces which only the Holy Spirit can instill in the most hardened and rebellious hearts : Lava quod est sordidum , riga quod est aridum , sana quod est saucium .
Flecte quod est rigidum , fove quod est frigidum , rege quod est @ @ @ @ @ @ @ penances , and your sufferings in sickness for the Church and for your Pastors .
I have recently interviewed the wife of the former nominee for the Supreme Court Robert Bork , who spoke about the lack of support from the Church during her husband ’ s outrageous hearings ; she even hinted to the fact that the attacks against him were led by the “ Catholic ” Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy .
What is your opinion of the attacks against Judge Barrett , particularly because of her faith ?
The hatred of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the prince ( Jn 12:31 ) , is the most evident disavowal of the utopian dream of Fratelli Tutti .
There can not be brotherhood among men , if it excludes the common Fatherhood of the One True God , One and Triune .
Those who preach equality and equal rights to the point of giving legitimacy to error and vice , become intolerant when they see their own abusive power is at risk – as soon as a Catholic politician , in the name of equal rights , wants to testify to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and governing .
So , in this way the highly touted “ brotherhood ” is realized only among the children of darkness , necessarily either excluding the children of light or forcing them to deny their own identity .
And it is significant that the only requisite of this brotherhood appears to be always founded on the refusal of Christ , while it is considered impossible to have a true and holy brotherhood in the sacred bond of Charity , “ in justice and holiness that proceeds from truth ” ( Eph 4:24 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a Catholic becomes a soldier of Christ .
A soldier who does not fight for his King but allies himself with the enemy is a traitor , a renegade , a deserter .
Therefore , let Catholic politicians and those who hold institutional positions bear witness the One who shed His Blood for them .
Not only will they receive the necessary graces to carry out their duties in public affairs , but they will also be an example to their brothers and will merit an eternal reward , which is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Te nationum praesides honore tollant publico ; colant magistri , judices , leges et artes exprimant.

'Just as in abortion the mother kills her own child, whom she should love...so in the present fraud, the Church, willed by God to bring forth souls to eternal life, is found killing them herself spiritually in her own womb,' His Excellency says.
October 14, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – “Silence on abortion is a terrible sign of the spiritual and moral deviance in that part of the Hierarchy which denies its very own mission because it has denied Christ,” said Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former papal representative to the United States, in an interview with LifeSiteNews today.

Do not be afraid to proclaim the Gospel of Christ, just as the Apostles and the Bishops who succeeded them did not fear martyrdom.”
Archbishop Viganò prays that the good example of the few bishops and pastors in America who are speaking out for the unborn during this presidential election are an example to others. “I pray that the few, courageous Pastors who raise their voices to defend the inviolable and non-negotiable principles which the Lord has established in natural law, may be joined by those who today hesitate out of fear, timidity, or a false sense of prudence,” he says.

How can one place brotherhood ahead of the horror of those who poison the sick or the elderly, who are denied any chance of participating in Our Lord’s Passion through suffering? What respect for nature can be invoked, when the gender of a person, written into our chromosomes, can be changed, or when a sterile union of two men or two women could be considered a family?

Fratelli Tutti is an encyclical that not only lacks Faith, but also Hope and Charity. The voice of the Divine Shepherd and Physician of souls does not echo in its language, but rather the rapacious wolf’s growl or the mercenary’s deafening silence (Jn 10:10).

In order to want the good of sinful and rebellious man, it is necessary to make him understand that by distancing himself from his Creator and Lord he will end up being a slave of Satan and of himself. No sense of brotherhood with other damned souls can remedy enmity towards God. It will not be the world nor philanthropists who will judge him, but Our Lord Himself, who died on the Cross to save him.
I believe that this very sad Fratelli Tutti represents, in a certain way, the emptiness of a withered heart, of a blind man deprived of supernatural sight, who gropingly thinks he can give an answer that he himself first ignores. I recognize that it is a sad and grave statement, but I think that more than asking ourselves about the orthodoxy of this document, we should ask ourselves what is the state of a soul incapable of feeling any surge of Charity, of allowing himself to be touched by a divine ray shining into that gloomy greyness represented by his utopian, transient dream, closed to the Grace of God. The introit of this Sunday’s Mass sounds a warning for us: Salus populi ego sum, dicit Dominus: de quacumque tribulatione clamaverint ad me, exaudiam eos: et ero illorum Dominus in perpetuum. Attendite, popule meus, legem meam: inclinate aurem vestram in verba oris mei. [3]
The Lord is the salvation of His people, who shall be heard in tribulation as long as they listen to His law. Our Lord tells us in no uncertain terms: “Without Me you can do nothing” (Jn 15:8). The utopia of the Tower of Babel, no matter how it may update itself and appear under the guise of the United Nations or the New World Order, is destined to collapse stone upon stone, because it is not founded on the Cornerstone who is Christ. “Behold they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will not be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” (Gn 11:4-7). The globalist and ecumenical pacifism of Fratelli Tutti envisions an earthly paradise that lays its foundations on refusing to recognize the Kingship of Christ over societies and the entire world; on being silent about the scandal of the Cross, considered as a “divisive” rather than the only hope of salvation for humanity; on forgetting that the social injustices and the evil present in the world are consequences of sin, and that only by conforming to the will of God can we hope to foster peace and harmony among men. Human beings can be truly brothers only in Christ, by recognizing together the Fatherhood of God. The Encyclical lacks Hope, understood as the theological virtue infused by God into the soul by which we desire the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life, placing our trust in Christ’s promises and relying not on our strength, but on the help of the Grace of the Holy Spirit. [4] Hoping that a horizontal brotherhoodcan guarantee peace and justice has nothing supernatural about it, because it does not look to the Kingdom of Heaven, it is not based on the promises of Christ, and it does not consider Divine Grace necessary, placing its trust in man who is corrupted by original sin and therefore inclined to evil. Anyone who feeds such false hopes – for example by stating that “there is no need to believe in God to go to heaven”[5] – does not perform an act of charity. On the contrary: this encourages the wicked on the path of sin and perdition, making themselves complicit in their damnation and their despair. It contradicts the very words of the Savior: “I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sin” (Jn 8:24).
I add, with great pain, that lately the answer of the Church in the face of evil, death, sickness, suffering and injustices in the world is lacking, if not completely absent. It is as if the Gospel has nothing to say to modern man, or as if what it has to say is outdated: “I don’t want to sell useless recipes, this is the reality.”[6] One’s blood runs cold when reading these words: “God is unjust? Yes, He was unjust with His Son, by sending Him to the cross.”[7] There is no need to refute this statement; it is enough to observe that if we deny that sin is the cause of the suffering and death that afflicts humanity, we inevitably end up placing the responsibility on God, accusing Him of being “unjust” and therefore excluding Him from our very own horizon. From here we understand how the pursuit of human brotherhood is found outlined in the words of the Psalmist: “The kings of the earth rise up, and princes take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed” (Ps 2:2). Thus the Church – or rather her counterfeit that eclipses her almost entirely – does not offer a Catholic answer anymore to the man who is hopeless and thirsting for Truth, but instead advances the scandal of pain and suffering whose root cause is sin, placing the responsibility on God and blaspheming Him as “unjust.” Your Excellency, I imagine that you have seen how pro-life leaders in the United States are begging the Bishops to openly declare that abortion is the preeminent question during this presidential election. There have been various Bishops who have said the exact opposite and now use the points discussed in the encyclical of Pope Francis in support of their ideas. What advice would give to your brother Bishops and to the faithful? Silence on abortion is a terrible sign of the spiritual and moral deviance in that part of the Hierarchy which denies its very own mission because it has denied Christ. And just as in abortion the mother kills her own child, whom she should love, protect, and bring forth into this earthly life, so in the present fraud, the Church, willed by God to bring forth souls to eternal life, is found killing them herself spiritually in her own womb, because of the betrayal of her own Ministers. The hatred of the enemies of Christ does not spare even His Most Holy Mother, whose divine Motherhood is hated by Satan, because through Her the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity became Man to redeem us. If we are friends of the Blessed Virgin, Her enemies are our enemies, according to what has been established by the Lord in the Protoevangelium: “I will put enmity between thee and the Woman, and between your offspring and Hers” (Gen 3:15).
I remind my brother Bishops that they were anointed with the Holy Chrism as athletes of the Faith, not as neutral spectators of the struggle between God and the Adversary. I pray that the few, courageous Pastors who raise their voices to defend the inviolable and non-negotiable principles which the Lord has established in natural law, may be joined by those who today hesitate out of fear, timidity, or a false sense of prudence. You have the “grace of state” to be heard by your flock, who recognizes in you the voice of the Divine Shepherd (Jn 10:2-3). Do not be afraid to proclaim the Gospel of Christ, just as the Apostles and the Bishops who succeeded them did not fear martyrdom. I ask the faithful, disoriented by the silence of so many fainthearted shepherds, to raise their prayers to Heaven, invoking from the Paraclete those graces which only the Holy Spirit can instill in the most hardened and rebellious hearts: Lava quod est sordidum, riga quod est aridum, sana quod est saucium. Flecte quod est rigidum, fove quod est frigidum, rege quod est devium. Offer your sacrifices, your penances, and your sufferings in sickness for the Church and for your Pastors. I have recently interviewed the wife of the former nominee for the Supreme Court Robert Bork, who spoke about the lack of support from the Church during her husband’s outrageous hearings; she even hinted to the fact that the attacks against him were led by the “Catholic” Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy. What is your opinion of the attacks against Judge Barrett, particularly because of her faith? The hatred of the world, of which Satan is the prince (Jn 12:31), is the most evident disavowal of the utopian dream of Fratelli Tutti. There cannot be brotherhood among men, if it excludes the common Fatherhood of the One True God, One and Triune. Those who preach equality and equal rights to the point of giving legitimacy to error and vice, become intolerant when they see their own abusive power is at risk – as soon as a Catholic politician, in the name of equal rights, wants to testify to his or her own Faith in legislating and governing. So, in this way the highly touted “brotherhood” is realized only among the children of darkness, necessarily either excluding the children of light or forcing them to deny their own identity. And it is significant that the only requisite of this brotherhood appears to be always founded on the refusal of Christ, while it is considered impossible to have a true and holy brotherhood in the sacred bond of Charity, “in justice and holiness that proceeds from truth” (Eph 4:24). With the unction of Confirmation, a Catholic becomes a soldier of Christ. A soldier who does not fight for his King but allies himself with the enemy is a traitor, a renegade, a deserter. Therefore, let Catholic politicians and those who hold institutional positions bear witness the One who shed His Blood for them. Not only will they receive the necessary graces to carry out their duties in public affairs, but they will also be an example to their brothers and will merit an eternal reward, which is the only thing that really matters. “Te nationum praesides honore tollant publico; colant magistri, judices, leges et artes exprimant.” [8]

The reference to the unborn child in Fratelli Tutti n. 18 is very weak and does not explicitly mention the term “abortion.” Spending just three words on the most abominable crime that involves millions of deaths every year in the world, does not change the evidence that the encyclical is literally obsessed with human solidarity in support to globalist agenda. Besides, in the contest of the US election campaign (concomitant with the publication of the papal document), an explicit condemnation of abortion would openly contradict the democratic candidate, which is strongly in favor of the abortion. I would add that the references to children seems more aimed to the Islamic families, in particular of those of the immigrants, who, according to Bergoglio, represent the demographic future of Europe.

lifesitenews--2020-10-15--Viganò on Pope’s ‘brotherhood’ encyclical: ‘A manifesto in the service of the New World Order’

October 14 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – In a devastating appraisal of Pope Francis ’ latest encyclical Fratelli Tutti ( All Brothers ) , Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò called out its failure to take abortion seriously .
“ This deafening silence concerning the most odious crime in the eyes of God – because it is committed upon an innocent and defenseless child depriving it of life – betrays the twisted vision of this ideological manifesto that is in the service of the New World Order , ” he said in an interview with LifeSiteNews .
“ The globalist and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earthly paradise that lays its foundations on refusing to recognize the Kingship of Christ over societies and the entire world.
” The former papal representative to the United States also criticizes the encyclical ’ s call for a brotherhood based on a worldly or ‘ horizontal ’ brotherhood rather than on the true brotherhood in Christ .
“ ( W ) hat brotherhood could ever exist between people , if killing an innocent child is considered irrelevant ?
How can one condemn social exclusion while remaining silent on the most criminal of social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a right to live , to grow , to be loved and to love , adore and serve God and attain eternal life ?
What is the point of addressing arms trafficking , if one can be joined in brotherhood with one who dismembers a child in the womb of its mother , one who sucks the child ’ s brains out the instant before birth ?
” Archbishop Viganò says that the encyclical ’ s apparent hope to bring hope to all men of the earth is misguided since , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of modern man it is necessary to wake him out of his hypnotic spell of do-goodery , ecologism , pacifism , ecumenism , and globalism .
In order to want the good of sinful and rebellious man , it is necessary to make him understand that by distancing himself from his Creator and Lord he will end up being a slave of Satan and of himself.
” Archbishop Viganò spells out “ the only hope to foster peace and harmony among men ” is “ by conforming to the will of God.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on faithful Catholics to pray earnestly and offer sacrifices for the Church ’ s leaders – the hierarchy .
Here the Archbishop must mean especially Pope Francis , the author of the encyclical which the Archbishop says , “ represents , in a certain way , the emptiness of a withered heart , of a blind man deprived of supernatural sight.

Three questions from John-Henry Westen to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò What is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its silence regarding abortion , especially in light of what the encyclical defines as the “ biggest concerns ” for politicians ?
Fratelli Tutti , in speaking about the concerns which should motivate the actions of politicians , mentions the “ phenomenon of social and economic exclusion , with its baneful consequences : human trafficking , the marketing of human organs and tissues , the sexual exploitation of boys and girls , slave labor , including prostitution , the drug and weapons trade , terrorism and international organized crime.
” [ 1 ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be denounced , but which I believe are already recognized as such by many people .
The focal point , which is much more important from the moral aspect , but not mentioned in the Encyclical , is abortion , which is tragically claimed today as a right .

The spiritual and transcendent dimension is completely ignored , as are natural and Catholic morality .
But what brotherhood could ever exist between people , if killing an innocent child is considered irrelevant ?
How can one condemn social exclusion while remaining silent on the most criminal of social exclusions , that of a child @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to grow , to be loved and to love , adore and serve God and attain eternal life ?
What is the point of addressing arms trafficking , if one can be joined in brotherhood with one who dismembers a child in the womb of its mother , one who sucks the child ’ s brains out the instant before birth ?
How can one place brotherhood ahead of the horror of those who poison the sick or the elderly , who are denied any chance of participating in Our Lord ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature can be invoked , when the gender of a person , written into our chromosomes , can be changed , or when a sterile union of two men or two women could be considered a family ?
Does not the destructive fury of “ mother earth ” apply to those who , by altering the wonderful work of the Creator , assume the right to modify the DNA of plants , animals , and human beings ?
Fratelli Tutti is an encyclical that not only lacks Faith , but also Hope and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Shepherd and Physician of souls does not echo in its language , but rather the rapacious wolf ’ s growl or the mercenary ’ s deafening silence ( Jn 10:10 ) .
There is no breath of love either for God or for man , because in order to truly desire the good of modern man it is necessary to wake him out of his hypnotic spell of do-goodery , ecologism , pacifism , ecumenism , and globalism .

Three questions from John-Henry Westen to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò
What is your opinon on Fratelli Tutti, particularly its silence regarding abortion, especially in light of what the encyclical defines as the “biggest concerns” for politicians? Fratelli Tutti, in speaking about the concerns which should motivate the actions of politicians, mentions the “phenomenon of social and economic exclusion, with its baneful consequences: human trafficking, the marketing of human organs and tissues, the sexual exploitation of boys and girls, slave labor, including prostitution, the drug and weapons trade, terrorism and international organized crime.” [1] These are all plagues that need to be denounced, but which I believe are already recognized as such by many people. The focal point, which is much more important from the moral aspect, but not mentioned in the Encyclical, is abortion, which is tragically claimed today as a right. [2] This deafening silence concerning the most odious crime in the eyes of God – because it is committed upon an innocent and defenseless child depriving it of life – betrays the twisted vision of this ideological manifesto that is in the service of the New World Order. Its slanted vision lays in psychologically prostrated submission to the requests of mainstream thought, while looking at the teachings of the Gospel with the myopic and embarrassed view of those who consider it unthinkable and outdated. The spiritual and transcendent dimension is completely ignored, as are natural and Catholic morality. But what brotherhood could ever exist between people, if killing an innocent child is considered irrelevant? How can one condemn social exclusion while remaining silent on the most criminal of social exclusions, that of a child who has a right to live, to grow, to be loved and to love, adore and serve God and attain eternal life? What is the point of addressing arms trafficking, if one can be joined in brotherhood with one who dismembers a child in the womb of its mother, one who sucks the child’s brains out the instant before birth? How can one place brotherhood ahead of the horror of those who poison the sick or the elderly, who are denied any chance of participating in Our Lord’s Passion through suffering? What respect for nature can be invoked, when the gender of a person, written into our chromosomes, can be changed, or when a sterile union of two men or two women could be considered a family? Does not the destructive fury of “mother earth” apply to those who, by altering the wonderful work of the Creator, assume the right to modify the DNA of plants, animals, and human beings? Fratelli Tutti is an encyclical that not only lacks Faith, but also Hope and Charity. The voice of the Divine Shepherd and Physician of souls does not echo in its language, but rather the rapacious wolf’s growl or the mercenary’s deafening silence (Jn 10:10). There is no breath of love either for God or for man, because in order to truly desire the good of modern man it is necessary to wake him out of his hypnotic spell of do-goodery, ecologism, pacifism, ecumenism, and globalism. In order to want the good of sinful and rebellious man, it is necessary to make him understand that by distancing himself from his Creator and Lord he will end up being a slave of Satan and of himself. No sense of brotherhood with other damned souls can remedy enmity towards God. It will not be the world nor philanthropists who will judge him, but Our Lord Himself, who died on the Cross to save him.
I believe that this very sad Fratelli Tutti represents, in a certain way, the emptiness of a withered heart, of a blind man deprived of supernatural sight, who gropingly thinks he can give an answer that he himself first ignores. I recognize that it is a sad and grave statement, but I think that more than asking ourselves about the orthodoxy of this document, we should ask ourselves what is the state of a soul incapable of feeling any surge of Charity, of allowing himself to be touched by a divine ray shining into that gloomy greyness represented by his utopian, transient dream, closed to the Grace of God. The introit of this Sunday’s Mass sounds a warning for us: Salus populi ego sum, dicit Dominus: de quacumque tribulatione clamaverint ad me, exaudiam eos: et ero illorum Dominus in perpetuum. Attendite, popule meus, legem meam: inclinate aurem vestram in verba oris mei. [3]
The Lord is the salvation of His people, who shall be heard in tribulation as long as they listen to His law. Our Lord tells us in no uncertain terms: “Without Me you can do nothing” (Jn 15:8). The utopia of the Tower of Babel, no matter how it may update itself and appear under the guise of the United Nations or the New World Order, is destined to collapse stone upon stone, because it is not founded on the Cornerstone who is Christ. “Behold they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will not be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” (Gn 11:4-7). The globalist and ecumenical pacifism of Fratelli Tutti envisions an earthly paradise that lays its foundations on refusing to recognize the Kingship of Christ over societies and the entire world; on being silent about the scandal of the Cross, considered as a “divisive” rather than the only hope of salvation for humanity; on forgetting that the social injustices and the evil present in the world are consequences of sin, and that only by conforming to the will of God can we hope to foster peace and harmony among men. Human beings can be truly brothers only in Christ, by recognizing together the Fatherhood of God. The Encyclical lacks Hope, understood as the theological virtue infused by God into the soul by which we desire the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life, placing our trust in Christ’s promises and relying not on our strength, but on the help of the Grace of the Holy Spirit. [4] Hoping that a horizontal brotherhoodcan guarantee peace and justice has nothing supernatural about it, because it does not look to the Kingdom of Heaven, it is not based on the promises of Christ, and it does not consider Divine Grace necessary, placing its trust in man who is corrupted by original sin and therefore inclined to evil. Anyone who feeds such false hopes – for example by stating that “there is no need to believe in God to go to heaven”[5] – does not perform an act of charity. On the contrary: this encourages the wicked on the path of sin and perdition, making themselves complicit in their damnation and their despair. It contradicts the very words of the Savior: “I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sin” (Jn 8:24).
I add, with great pain, that lately the answer of the Church in the face of evil, death, sickness, suffering and injustices in the world is lacking, if not completely absent. It is as if the Gospel has nothing to say to modern man, or as if what it has to say is outdated: “I don’t want to sell useless recipes, this is the reality.”[6] One’s blood runs cold when reading these words: “God is unjust? Yes, He was unjust with His Son, by sending Him to the cross.”[7] There is no need to refute this statement; it is enough to observe that if we deny that sin is the cause of the suffering and death that afflicts humanity, we inevitably end up placing the responsibility on God, accusing Him of being “unjust” and therefore excluding Him from our very own horizon. From here we understand how the pursuit of human brotherhood is found outlined in the words of the Psalmist: “The kings of the earth rise up, and princes take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed” (Ps 2:2). Thus the Church – or rather her counterfeit that eclipses her almost entirely – does not offer a Catholic answer anymore to the man who is hopeless and thirsting for Truth, but instead advances the scandal of pain and suffering whose root cause is sin, placing the responsibility on God and blaspheming Him as “unjust.” Your Excellency, I imagine that you have seen how pro-life leaders in the United States are begging the Bishops to openly declare that abortion is the preeminent question during this presidential election. There have been various Bishops who have said the exact opposite and now use the points discussed in the encyclical of Pope Francis in support of their ideas. What advice would give to your brother Bishops and to the faithful? Silence on abortion is a terrible sign of the spiritual and moral deviance in that part of the Hierarchy which denies its very own mission because it has denied Christ. And just as in abortion the mother kills her own child, whom she should love, protect, and bring forth into this earthly life, so in the present fraud, the Church, willed by God to bring forth souls to eternal life, is found killing them herself spiritually in her own womb, because of the betrayal of her own Ministers. The hatred of the enemies of Christ does not spare even His Most Holy Mother, whose divine Motherhood is hated by Satan, because through Her the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity became Man to redeem us. If we are friends of the Blessed Virgin, Her enemies are our enemies, according to what has been established by the Lord in the Protoevangelium: “I will put enmity between thee and the Woman, and between your offspring and Hers” (Gen 3:15).
I remind my brother Bishops that they were anointed with the Holy Chrism as athletes of the Faith, not as neutral spectators of the struggle between God and the Adversary. I pray that the few, courageous Pastors who raise their voices to defend the inviolable and non-negotiable principles which the Lord has established in natural law, may be joined by those who today hesitate out of fear, timidity, or a false sense of prudence. You have the “grace of state” to be heard by your flock, who recognizes in you the voice of the Divine Shepherd (Jn 10:2-3). Do not be afraid to proclaim the Gospel of Christ, just as the Apostles and the Bishops who succeeded them did not fear martyrdom. I ask the faithful, disoriented by the silence of so many fainthearted shepherds, to raise their prayers to Heaven, invoking from the Paraclete those graces which only the Holy Spirit can instill in the most hardened and rebellious hearts: Lava quod est sordidum, riga quod est aridum, sana quod est saucium. Flecte quod est rigidum, fove quod est frigidum, rege quod est devium. Offer your sacrifices, your penances, and your sufferings in sickness for the Church and for your Pastors. I have recently interviewed the wife of the former nominee for the Supreme Court Robert Bork, who spoke about the lack of support from the Church during her husband’s outrageous hearings; she even hinted to the fact that the attacks against him were led by the “Catholic” Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy. What is your opinion of the attacks against Judge Barrett, particularly because of her faith? The hatred of the world, of which Satan is the prince (Jn 12:31), is the most evident disavowal of the utopian dream of Fratelli Tutti. There cannot be brotherhood among men, if it excludes the common Fatherhood of the One True God, One and Triune. Those who preach equality and equal rights to the point of giving legitimacy to error and vice, become intolerant when they see their own abusive power is at risk – as soon as a Catholic politician, in the name of equal rights, wants to testify to his or her own Faith in legislating and governing. So, in this way the highly touted “brotherhood” is realized only among the children of darkness, necessarily either excluding the children of light or forcing them to deny their own identity. And it is significant that the only requisite of this brotherhood appears to be always founded on the refusal of Christ, while it is considered impossible to have a true and holy brotherhood in the sacred bond of Charity, “in justice and holiness that proceeds from truth” (Eph 4:24). With the unction of Confirmation, a Catholic becomes a soldier of Christ. A soldier who does not fight for his King but allies himself with the enemy is a traitor, a renegade, a deserter. Therefore, let Catholic politicians and those who hold institutional positions bear witness the One who shed His Blood for them. Not only will they receive the necessary graces to carry out their duties in public affairs, but they will also be an example to their brothers and will merit an eternal reward, which is the only thing that really matters. “Te nationum praesides honore tollant publico; colant magistri, judices, leges et artes exprimant.” [8]

Cited in the encyclicalFratelli Tutti, 188. [2] The only indirect mention of abortion is n. 24 of the Encyclical, in which violence that “forces [women] to abort” is denounced, but without condemning the killing of the unborn itself. The reference to the unborn child in Fratelli Tutti n. 18 is very weak and does not explicitly mention the term “abortion.” Spending just three words on the most abominable crime that involves millions of deaths every year in the world, does not change the evidence that the encyclical is literally obsessed with human solidarity in support to globalist agenda. Besides, in the contest of the US election campaign (concomitant with the publication of the papal document), an explicit condemnation of abortion would openly contradict the democratic candidate, which is strongly in favor of the abortion. I would add that the references to children seems more aimed to the Islamic families, in particular of those of the immigrants, who, according to Bergoglio, represent the demographic future of Europe.

lifesitenews--2020-10-15--US bishop: Pro-life is top voting issue…and we’ll make abortion illegal, just like slavery

BETHESDA , Maryland , October 15 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Shortly before daybreak on Saturday , October 10 , Bishop Joseph Coffey and Fr .
Stephen Imbarrato began the concelebration of a Mass for some 50 pro-life advocates gathered in a parking lot adjacent to late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart ’ s facility in Bethesda , Maryland .
In his homily , Bishop Coffey , Auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese for the Military Services , stated that each of us is an “ unrepeatable , unique work of God ’ s creation.
” In opposing abortion and abortionists , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gentle , but be persistent , ” he continued .
Bishop Coffey mentioned that he prays for Carhart by name and asked everyone to do the same .
He said that he prays for Carhart to experience a “ St .
Paul-like conversion.
” If the atheist and abortionist Bernard Nathanson , who aborted over 60,000 babies including his own child , could convert to Catholicism , so could Carhart .
It may take a miracle , said the bishop , but Catholics experience a miracle every time they attend Mass and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the body and blood of Our Lord .
In the upcoming election , the bishop continued , “ we have to pray , and work , and vote accordingly.
” “ There are always important issues to consider in every election , but the preeminent issue is life , ” he stated .
He further encouraged everyone to “ never give up , never lose hope , never lose courage , and never lose the belief that someday this [ abortion ] will be illegal and unthinkable , just like slavery.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bishop led participants in a Eucharistic procession around the property of the abortion facility and blessed those attending .
He then moved the group to a nearby area where the rosary was said for an end to abortion .
The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is evil in every case .
Cathy Roth , the primary organizer of this 13th monthly ceremonial , said she was moved to do so because an intrinsic evil must be opposed both temporally and spiritually .
To overcome it requires public witness and prayer , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ processions .
LeRoy Carhart euphemistically calls his business CARE , an acronym for Centers for Abortion & Reproductive Excellence .
The term can easily mislead an angst-filled woman .
He advertises “ safe and compassionate ” abortions up to 35 weeks gestation .
In 2013 , Carhart aborted the 33-week-old unborn child of Jennifer Morbelli .
Just hours after leaving his facility , Morbelli was rushed to the emergency room of a nearby hospital where she died of abortion-related complications .
Bishop Coffey has been an advocate for the unborn for over 45 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the passage of Roe v. Wade , his parents often took their nine children to pro-life demonstrations .
After college , he joined the rescue movement before discerning his priestly vocation .
Now , having served almost 20 years as a military chaplain and being consecrated a bishop , he is once again active in pro-life activities .

PETITION UPDATE (9/26/2020):
With President Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we are closer than we have been in decades to seeing Roe vs. Wade overturned.
We now encourage the Senate to confirm Barrett as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
Judge Barrett has a fantastic track recond on sanctity of life issues, has seven children, and is a devout believer. She is the perfect remedy for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's radical pro-abortionism.
Please READ the full story here: 'BREAKING: Trump nominates Catholic mom of 7 Judge Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court'
And then, please SIGN this petition telling the High Court that it's now time to end the activist Roe vs. Wade judgment. Thank you!
__________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (6/29/2020):
In a decision which has imperiled more abortion-minded women, sentenced more preborn to death, and upset pro-lifers across the nation,the United States Supreme Court decided 5-4 to strike down a Louisiana law requiring basic medical precautions in the event of abortion complications, with Chief Justice John Roberts reversing his own past decision to uphold a similar Texas law.
Liberal Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion, which held that the Louisiana law was unconstitutional for the simple fact that it was “almost word-for-word identical” to the Texas one the court already struck down in 2016.
In his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Roberts acknowledged that he had “joined the dissent in Whole Woman’s Health and continue to believe that the case was wrongly decided. The question today however is not whether Whole Woman’s Health was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case.”
We call on the Supreme Court to stop supporting the culture of death and overturn Roe vs Wade, now.
PETITION UPDATE (1/20/2020):
Hundreds of thousands of people will gather in Washington, D.C., this coming Friday, January 24th, for the March for Life. They will be praying for an end to Roe vs Wade, as the Supreme Court will hear a crucial, abortion-related case later this year in March. United our voices can change the course of history. Sign this petition TODAY! (LEARN MORE BELOW)
PETITION UPDATE (1/3/2020):
In advance of the Supreme Court's hearing arguments in an important abortion case later this year in March, 207 U.S. Senators and Representatives have signed amicus briefs supporting a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital nearby an abortion center.
Some of these supporting briefs also suggest that now is the time to reconsider Roe vs Wade as sound law.
Please SIGN this petition, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down Roe vs Wade.
_____________________________________________________________________________
More than 60 million Americans have been slaughtered in their mother's wombs as a result of Roe v. Wade. This activist, unconstitutional ruling in 1973 has left countless women emotionally and psychologically scarred.
It was believed by many that Roe would be overturned in 1992 with Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Despite having eight Republican-appointed judges at the time, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold it.
Since then, major gains have been made in the fight for life, and many lives have been saved.
However, Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land, leaving millions of defenseless pre-born children vulnerable to murder.
According to a 2016 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 35% of aborted babies are African American, despite black women only making up six percent of the U.S. population. 19% of aborted babies are Hispanic.
We thus again call on the court to do everything they can to end Roe vs Wade.
Now is the time for pro-lifers to join together and ensure that all of God's children have a right to life.
Roe v. Wade must come to an end!
