July 29, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The top cops of 18 states have banded together to call on the U.S. Supreme Court to hear and uphold the constitutionality of Mississippi’s ban on aborting babies at 15 weeks, calling Roe v. Wade outdated in light of modern medical knowledge.
In March 2019, Mississippi Republican Gov. Phil Bryant signed HB 1510, which prohibits abortions from being committed past 15 weeks for any reason other than physical medical emergencies or severe fetal abnormalities. The pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights filed a lawsuit on behalf of Women’s Health Organization in Jackson within an hour of the signing.
U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves quickly issued a temporary restraining order against enforcing the law, then declared it unconstitutional in a ruling filled with pro-abortion talking points rather than legal arguments. Nevertheless, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Reeves, prompting the governor to declare his willingness to take the issue to the nation’s highest court.
Now, a coalition of 18 attorneys general from across the country, led by Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on Mississippi’s behalf.
“The Fifth Circuit’s test treats the right to previability abortion as absolute such that no state interest could ever justify any limitation of abortion previability,” the brief argues. “But no other constitutional right enjoys such absolute unquestioning protection, which perhaps is why Roe and Casey do not elevate the abortion right above all others.”
“In the 47 years since Roe, innumerable advances in science and medicine inform our understanding of fetal development and the capacity to experience pain,” it continues. “Yet the district court declared all scientific developments irrelevant and the viability line absolute. Not only is that wrong under this Court’s precedents, but it would strip state legislatures of the ability to legislate effectively in light of evolving knowledge.”
The Fifth Circuit had claimed that an “an unbroken line dating to Roe v. Wade” had firmly entrenched the “right” to pre-viability abortion, but that “unbroken line” is precisely what Mississippi and other pro-life states intend to challenge. Attorneys with the Life Legal Defense Foundation noted that the Court has also acknowledged a “compelling interest in protecting the unborn child” as pregnancy progresses, particularly on criteria like fetal pain – which can be felt before viability, as the latest pro-life brief also points out.
Pro-lifers are unlikely to prevail, however, until at least one liberal justice (and possibly more) is replaced with a conservative. Last month, Chief Justice John Roberts cast the deciding vote to strike down a Louisiana law that didn’t ban any abortions, but merely required abortionists to make arrangements for admitting women to nearby hospitals in cases of emergencies,
That ruling was only the latest in a long history of Republican judicial nominees delivering outcomes at odds with the conservative promises of the presidents who nominated them. Over the weekend, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) announced that he will only vote for future Supreme Court picks who have opposed Roe on the record before their confirmation hearings.

The Argentinian seminary was accused of an ‘undisciplined reaction’ to the bishop's directive that Communion only be given in the hand

SAN RAFAEL, Argentina, July 29, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) ― An Argentinian bishop, backed by the Vatican, has closed down his diocesan seminary because priests connected to the seminary refused to follow his directive that Holy Communion be only administered to people in the hand.
Bishop Eduardo Maria Taussig, the Bishop of San Rafael, grieved Catholics in his conservative diocese when, after the state permitted churches to reopen, he ordered the laity to receive the Blessed Sacrament only in their hands. Although the practise of receiving communion in the hand has become commonplace in the Church since its illicit introduction in the 1960s, the Catholics of San Rafael have remained faithful to the traditional practice of receiving communion on their tongues while kneeling.
After Fr. Alejandro Miguel Ciarrocchi, the rector of the diocesan seminary, defended the right of his seminarians to receive the Blessed Sacrament according to the traditional norms, Bishop Taussig retaliated by dismissing him from his post. Then, as other priests were also administering communion according to the traditional preferences of their parishioners, Taussig shut down the seminary itself.
In a recent video message posted on Facebook, Father José Antonio Álvarez, spokesman for the Diocese of San Rafael, blamed the clergy of this diocese for their “undisciplined reaction” and said that the order to shut the seminary had come from the Vatican Congregation for Clergy.
“In accordance with instructions from the Holy See, it has been decided to close the seminary,” the priest said.
“The measure taken by the Congregation for the Clergy, which is just the dicastery of the Holy Father that has jurisdictions over these cases, takes into consideration that due to the undisciplined reaction of a good portion of the clergy of the diocese, at this moment, this diocese is not able to put together a group of teachers who will conform to the church's discipline,” Álvarez stated.
“Since that is something that cannot be resolved immediately… Well … to safeguard the formation of the seminarians so that they can continue with their formation, they will be sent to other seminaries. That is something that will be the subject of an ongoing dialogue in the remaining months of the academic year.”
The Catholic Church states clearly in Redemptionis Sacramentum that a Catholic “always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue,” a right that cannot simply be taken away.
Dr. Peter Kwasniewski has argued that a bishop oversteps his authority in denying Catholics this right. “Many bishops are abusing their authority right now because…they’re supposed to uphold Canon Law and Canon Law is really clear that the faithful have the right to receive communion on the tongue. That's it,” he said in a July 2020 interview with The John-Henry Westen Show.
Last month, twenty-one Austrian doctors told their country’s Bishops’ Conference that receiving Communion on the tongue is “safer” than in hand.
An article published yesterday in the Spanish-language Wanderer website questioned whether the decision came from the Vatican Congregation or from the bishop himself.
“It is very rare for the Holy See to take on its own accord such a serious measure – we are talking about the largest seminary in Argentina – closing it in such a short time and without even a visit or further investigation. This is not the way of proceeding of the Curia,” a blogger at the Wanderer wrote.
“What I believe is that Mgr. Taussig himself offered Rome the corpse of his seminary. That is, he communicated things to Rome only according to his version of the events, he told them that he wanted to close the seminary, and Rome, logically, gave its support. And not so much because San Rafael was a conservative seminary, but because that was the will of its bishop, who is a prince in his diocese.”
The blogger also called Taussig’s strategy, which shifted the blame for his decision to his priests, “mean-spirited and duplicitous.” The writer acknowledged that one of his readers had blamed the laity for behaving “recklessly” in the dispute but said he did not believe this was true.
“What the laity did was to respectfully request the bishop to allow them to receive Holy Communion in the mouth and then gather together to pray at the doors of the seminary and the cathedral,” he wrote.
According to this and other accounts, Taussig is now very unpopular with the people of the diocese. The blogger said that the bishop had behaved with “enormous recklessness” in announcing the closure of the seminary months before its implementation, in December.
“A prudent ruler would have announced only the appointment of a new rector and, at the end of the year, announce the closure,” he stated.
“How will the rector govern [in] the remaining months? The atmosphere of the seminaries is always unhealthy; in this case it will be unbreathable. It would not be surprising if within a month, of the forty seminarians only four remain. What reason will the poor boys have to stay there?”
The blogger voiced his hope that the orthodox seminarians would not go to other, less orthodox, seminaries in Argentina but instead opt for such tradition-loving apostolates as the Institute of the Good Shepherd, the Institute of Christ the King, or the Fraternity of the Priests of Saint Peter.
“Despite the fact that my sins are many and I hope yet to save my soul, I would not want to be in the shoes of Bishop Taussig when, on his deathbed, he confronts his history and conscience and, loaded with those duffel bags, he presents himself before the Divine Court.”
A source known to LifeSiteNews told a reporter that there were 40 “good and well-formed” seminarians who now are unsure what they will do. He called the closing of the San Rafael seminary a “real disaster” as he believes it to be “the last really Catholic seminary in Catholic Argentina.”
Taussig, the descendant of Czech immigrants to Argentina, was appointed the Bishop of San Rafael by St. John Paul II in 2004. He was co-consecrated by the Primate of Argentina of the time, Cardinal Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio (who is now Pope Francis), and a number of other bishops.

America ’ s Frontline Doctors was founded by Dr. Simone Gold , who according to her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stanford educated attorney.
” The doctors ’ Monday press conference saw Gold say they held the summit because “ the American people have not heard from all the expertise that ’ s out there all across our country .

HCQ is used mainly to treat malaria and has been the source of much debate and speculation when it comes to treating the coronavirus. It was heavily talked about at the doctors' Monday press conference.
America’s Frontline Doctors was founded by Dr. Simone Gold, who according to her website is a “board-certified emergency physician Stanford educated attorney.”
The doctors’ Monday press conference saw Gold say they held the summit because “the American people have not heard from all the expertise that’s out there all across our country. We do have some experts speaking, but there’s lots and lots of experts across the country.”
Early on in the coronavirus crisis, some studies showed that HCQ could be an effective treatment against COVID-19. However, a study published by the medical journal The Lancet said researchers had found “no benefit” to using the drug, adding that it “decreased in-hospital survival and an increased frequency of ventricular arrhythmias.”
This study prompted many world governments to decide to ban or restrict HCQ for treating COVID-19 patients.
The Lancet was forced to retract its study, however, after revelations from the newspaper The Guardian raised significant doubts about the credibility of the source material.
During Monday’s doctors’ press conference, Dr. Stella Immanuel, who has a valid doctor's licence according to the Texas Medical Board, claimed that hydroxychloroquine helped her treat her COVID-19 patients.
“I’m here because I have personally treated over 350 patients with COVID[.] … I put them on hydroxychloroquine, I put them on zinc, I put them on Zithromax, and they’re all well,” claimed Immanuel.
“And today I’m here to say it, that America, there is a cure for COVID. All this foolishness does not need to happen. There is a cure for COVID. There is a cure for COVID is called hydroxychloroquine. It’s called zinc. It’s called Zithromax.”
Dr. Stella Immanuel, also a pastor and the founder of Fire Power Ministries in Houston, has been criticized for sermons that, among other things, include mention of alien DNA being used in medical treatments, a vaccine to prevent people from being religious, and blaming medical conditions on demons and witches.
The doctors’ website was taken offline Monday, not long after their press conference.
Gold confirmed via her Twitter page yesterday that their hosting provider Squarespace shut them down for violating their “Acceptable Use Policy.”
“WOW: Our website host @Squarespace has just completely and arbitrarily shut down our website, claiming a violation of their terms of service. We are a group of physicians advocating for a better understanding of COVID-19 and its available treatment options. This is outrageous,” tweeted Gold.
In her tweet, Gold shared a screenshot of the correspondence she was sent from Squarespace, which said the site was “in violation of Section 3.1 of our Acceptable Use Policy regarding activity that’s false, fraudulent, inaccurate or deceiving.”
Despite being offline, portions of the site can still be viewed at the internet archive site Wayback.
In another tweet sent out yesterday, Gold mentioned on Twitter that the group met with Vice President Mike Pence to ask his administration for help in prescribing HCQ “without political obstruction.”
“UPDATE: We have just met with Vice President Mike Pence to request the administration’s assistance in empowering doctors to prescribe hydroxychloroquine without political obstruction. We also discussed the recent censorship of doctors on social media platforms. #WhiteCoatSummit,” tweeted Gold.
Yesterday, America’s Frontline Doctors held another press conference on Capitol Hill, in which they addressed the censorship of their Monday press conference.
“We’re back to say the exact same message that we said yesterday, and that is, Americans have reason to hope when it comes to COVID-19,” said Jenny Beth Martin who is the co-founder of Tea Party Patriots.
“There are treatment options available. We know much more about this virus now then we did when it first hit our shores. There are options available to help prevent it, there are options available in the early phase of the virus.”

lifesitenews--2020-07-29--Joe Biden promises to undo Trump-era pro-life policies if elected president

WASHINGTON , D.C. , July 29 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — In his Agenda for Women released Monday , Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden promised to restore domestic and overseas funding to the abortion industry .
The Trump administration has made an effort not to finance abortions with federal money .
Biden dedicated one section of his Agenda for Women to “ Reproductive Health , ” which is generally a reference to abortion .
The former vice president under President Barack Obama said he “ will work to codify Roe v. Wade , and his Justice Department will do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rash of state laws that so blatantly violate Roe v. Wade.
” Roe v. Wade is the 1973 Supreme Court ruling essentially legalizing abortion across the country under the guise of a woman ’ s right to privacy .
Many states passed legislation trying to limit the widespread killing of unborn babies .
One piece of legislation is so-called heartbeat bills , which prohibit abortions as soon as the unborn baby ’ s heartbeat can be detected after roughly six weeks of pregnancy .
Joe Biden said he wanted to repeal the Hyde @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states can not refuse Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood and other providers and reverse the Trump Administration ’ s rule preventing these organizations from obtaining Title X funds.
” Planned Parenthood provides more than 345,000 abortions annually , according to its most recent report .
Additionally , the organization handed out more than 593,000 emergency contraception kits , commonly known as the morning-after pill , which can also cause abortions in many cases .
Biden ’ s plan would , accordingly , enable women to abort their babies using taxpayer money .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hyde Amendment for many years , before reversing his position early during his campaign for president in 2019 .
Biden had caused some controversy in June of last year by saying he still supported the annual budget language that forbids taxpayer dollars from funding abortions except for cases of rape or incest , or to save a mother ’ s life .
After a video showed him answering “ yes ” to an activist asking if he would “ commit to abolishing ” Hyde , the Biden campaign claimed he had misheard the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while reserving the right to change his mind , depending on the progress of “ draconian attempts to limit access to abortion.
” Pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood pounced on his remarks , leading him to announce just a day later that he was changing his position .
“ If I believe health care is a right , as I do , I can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone 's ZIP code , ” Biden said at the time .
The Democratic presidential candidate , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to rescind the Mexico City Policy requiring foreign non-governmental organizations ( NGOs ) not to “ perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning ” as a condition for receiving federal money .

Whitney Robertson , assistant press secretary for Trump ’ s re-election campaign , stated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden ’ s ‘ Agenda for Women ’ solidifies what we already knew — Biden stands with the extreme ideas of the radicals running the Democrat Party , even if it means enabling the murder of innocent children in the process.

Pro-life organizations are all-in for Trump, with the Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List spending $52 million on re-election efforts this year.
SBA List’s Mallory Quigley said in January that the “stakes of this election could not be higher. Democratic contenders for president are lining up to support abortion on demand, and even infanticide, and declaring war on even the most modest pro-life policies.”
She credited Trump as the “most pro-life president in our nation’s history.” Promising that pro-life activists will fan out in support of pro-life candidates, Quigley said polling and the group’s on-the-ground experience show that “Democrats’ abortion radicalism is a liability for them at the ballot box.”

lifesitenews--2020-07-29--UK abortionists caught agreeing to kill baby so undercover caller could keep her ‘beach body’

PETITION : Hold UN accountable for babies killed by sex-selection abortion !
Sign the petition here .
UNITED KINGDOM , July 29 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — New video footage released yesterday shows the British Pregnancy Advisory Service ( BPAS ) , the U.K. ’ s largest abortion provider , agreeing to send abortion pills to an undercover “ mystery client ” who informed them that she wanted an abortion to avoid looking pregnant on the beach while on holiday .
During the call , the undercover “ mystery client ” is asked by BPAS staff why she wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be more than happy to have children in the future and stuff like that , ” she replies .
“ And we ’ ve discussed that and we want children , but just not at this particular point in time because we ’ ve just literally , like , booked a holiday and we were just quite confined during the lockdown , ” she continues .
“ I mean , we ’ re both all right , but it ’ s just been a bit emotionally draining , all these restrictions and everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward to this holiday and I just want to… We just wanted to really focus on this holiday and have a good time and not – I just didn ’ t want to worry about looking pregnant on the beach and all that .
I just – it ’ s just so bad , the timing right now.
” The BPAS staff member replied , saying that it sounded as though the caller was emotionally unprepared for pregnancy .
“ It sounds to me that the individual reasons you ’ re giving come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ready for a pregnancy right now , ” the staff member said .
“ Any reason that you ever give is always going to be valid for you .
So whether it ’ s physically with regards to however you look or feel , with regards to nausea , again all your travel plans , it sounds maybe like a physical , emotional time that you ’ re not ready for pregnancy right now , ” she continued .
“ I don ’ t want to put words in your mouth .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you tell me to a legal reason ... Any reason other than the sex of the baby is a valid reason to us , but to attach it to a legal reason , it sounds like emotionally it ’ s not the right time .
Because it doesn ’ t necessarily sound like it ’ s financial , possibly slightly physical , it doesn ’ t sound maybe mentally , like you ’ re not ready.
” The mystery client agreed and the lobby group Christian Concern reported that the undercover caller received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Earlier this month Christian Concern released evidence from an undercover investigation which showed U.K. abortionists sending out abortion pills via mail without completing basic checks about the people ordering them .
The new footage was released by Christian Concern on the eve of their judicial review hearing against the government ’ s new regulations which authorize women in England to kill their preborn children at home by using both pills for a chemical early abortion .
When the regulations were announced in March , a government spokesperson from the Department of Health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was being made on a temporary basis only and is time-limited for two years , or until the coronavirus crisis is over .
It was the third time the abortion law had changed in the space of a week ; the government had first announced the change and then reversed the decision within 24 hours .
Speaking on a BBC Radio 4 program aired earlier today Clare Murphy , a spokesperson for BPAS , said that the new regulations have “ protected women 's health.
” Since the introduction of “ DIY abortions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the death of a 28-week-old unborn baby after the mother took abortions pills sent in the post by BPAS .
The pro-abortion group Doctors for Choice defended the actions of the BPAS staff member recorded in the video in a series of tweets which claim that “ [ a ] bortion is safer than childbirth ” and that the U.K. ’ s 1967 Abortion Act , which places some restrictions on access to abortion , is outdated and that decriminalization of abortion is needed as part of women ’ s “ healthcare.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Doctors for Choice , tweets calling them “ disingenuous ” and “ nauseating.
” “ That really is the most disingenuous , jaded , spurious and ultimately nauseating justification I have ever read for circumventing the law .
Following your reasoning , abortion would be completely decriminalised which it is not , ” Kiska wrote .
Abortion is permitted in England under exceptions to earlier laws which make it a criminal offense .
The Abortion Act 1967 allows abortions up to 24 weeks , providing the abortion is committed by a registered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the mother ’ s physical or mental health is at risk , or that the child will be seriously disabled .
At the beginning of July , an attempt by the U.K. abortion lobby to pass legislation to permanently allow women to commit abortions at home by means of abortion pills was delayed after the government promised to hold a public consultation on the question .
When announcing the government 's plan to hold a public consultation , Minister for Women Victoria Atkins MP said that the current measures would be kept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a decision has been made .

UNITED KINGDOM, July 29, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — New video footage released yesterday shows the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), the U.K.’s largest abortion provider, agreeing to send abortion pills to an undercover “mystery client” who informed them that she wanted an abortion to avoid looking pregnant on the beach while on holiday.
During the call, the undercover “mystery client” is asked by BPAS staff why she wants an abortion.
“I’d be more than happy to have children in the future and stuff like that,” she replies.
“And we’ve discussed that and we want children, but just not at this particular point in time because we’ve just literally, like, booked a holiday and we were just quite confined during the lockdown,” she continues.
“I mean, we’re both all right, but it’s just been a bit emotionally draining, all these restrictions and everything. And we were just so looking forward to this holiday and I just want to… We just wanted to really focus on this holiday and have a good time and not – I just didn’t want to worry about looking pregnant on the beach and all that. I just – it’s just so bad, the timing right now.”
The BPAS staff member replied, saying that it sounded as though the caller was emotionally unprepared for pregnancy.
“It sounds to me that the individual reasons you’re giving come down to you just not being emotionally ready for a pregnancy right now,” the staff member said.
“Any reason that you ever give is always going to be valid for you. So whether it’s physically with regards to however you look or feel, with regards to nausea, again all your travel plans, it sounds maybe like a physical, emotional time that you’re not ready for pregnancy right now,” she continued.
“I don’t want to put words in your mouth. What I have to do is attach what you tell me to a legal reason…Any reason other than the sex of the baby is a valid reason to us, but to attach it to a legal reason, it sounds like emotionally it’s not the right time. Because it doesn’t necessarily sound like it’s financial, possibly slightly physical, it doesn’t sound maybe mentally, like you’re not ready.”
The mystery client agreed and the lobby group Christian Concern reported that the undercover caller received the abortion pills shortly after the call.
Earlier this month Christian Concern released evidence from an undercover investigation which showed U.K. abortionists sending out abortion pills via mail without completing basic checks about the people ordering them.
The new footage was released by Christian Concern on the eve of their judicial review hearing against the government’s new regulations which authorize women in England to kill their preborn children at home by using both pills for a chemical early abortion.
When the regulations were announced in March, a government spokesperson from the Department of Health and Social Care said that the change was being made on a temporary basis only and is time-limited for two years, or until the coronavirus crisis is over. It was the third time the abortion law had changed in the space of a week; the government had first announced the change and then reversed the decision within 24 hours.
Speaking on a BBC Radio 4 program aired earlier today Clare Murphy, a spokesperson for BPAS, said that the new regulations have “protected women's health.”
Since the introduction of “DIY abortions,” U.K. police have begun investigations into the death of a 28-week-old unborn baby after the mother took abortions pills sent in the post by BPAS.
The pro-abortion group Doctors for Choice defended the actions of the BPAS staff member recorded in the video in a series of tweets which claim that “[a]bortion is safer than childbirth” and that the U.K.’s 1967 Abortion Act, which places some restrictions on access to abortion, is outdated and that decriminalization of abortion is needed as part of women’s “healthcare.”
Today’s @CConcern video is misleading. Abortion is safer than childbirth, so any early medical abortion can be justified under Abortion Act clause C: continuing pregnancy carries a risk to woman’s physical/mental health, greater than if the pregnancy were terminated @BBCr4today — Doctors for Choice UK (@DrsforChoice_UK) July 29, 2020
The current Abortion Act is outdated, treating anyone seeking an abortion, or doctor providing one, as a potential criminal. We need decriminalisation to bring abortion care in line with all other healthcare – a decision made by the patient, supported by their healthcare team. — Doctors for Choice UK (@DrsforChoice_UK) July 29, 2020
U.K. lawyer Roger Kiska responded to the Doctors for Choice, tweets calling them “disingenuous” and “nauseating.”
“That really is the most disingenuous, jaded, spurious and ultimately nauseating justification I have ever read for circumventing the law. Following your reasoning, abortion would be completely decriminalised which it is not,” Kiska wrote.

Abortion is permitted in England under exceptions to earlier laws which make it a criminal offense. The Abortion Act 1967 allows abortions up to 24 weeks, providing the abortion is committed by a registered doctor, and that two doctors agree that the mother’s physical or mental health is at risk, or that the child will be seriously disabled.
At the beginning of July, an attempt by the U.K. abortion lobby to pass legislation to permanently allow women to commit abortions at home by means of abortion pills was delayed after the government promised to hold a public consultation on the question. When announcing the government's plan to hold a public consultation, Minister for Women Victoria Atkins MP said that the current measures would be kept in place until the consultation has concluded and a decision has been made.

(LifeSiteNews) — In response to the crisis unfolding in our world and in the Church, LifeSite is happy to promote Regina Angelorum Press’s Daily Rosary, which is offering Catholics throughout the world the chance to be united daily in prayer, in the Our Lady of Fatima Rosary Crusade.
Catholics from all over the world — from Israel, Uganda, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, Pakistan, Singapore, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and other countries — are gathering daily to pray the Rosary, led by Father Pillari, JCL, MCL, STL, an American priest currently studying in Italy.
The Daily Rosary is being offered each day at 12noon EST through Regina Angelorum Press’ YouTube Channel to which you can subscribe HERE.

To help obtain that goal, Bishop Athanasius Schneider graciously composed the following prayer for this worldwide Rosary crusade:
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, you are the holy Mother of God and our tender Mother. Look upon the distress in which the Church and the whole of humanity are living because of the spread of materialism and the persecution of the Church. In Fatima you warned against these errors, as you spoke about the errors of Russia. You are the Mediatrix of all graces. Implore your Divine Son to grant this special grace for the Pope: that he might consecrate Russia to your Immaculate Heart, so that Russia will be converted, a period of peace will be granted to the world, and your Immaculate Heart will triumph, through an authentic renewal of the Church in the splendor of the purity of the Catholic Faith, of the sacredness of Divine worship and of the holiness of the Christian life. O Queen of the holy Rosary and our sweet Mother, turn your merciful eyes to us and graciously hear this our trusting prayer. Amen. + Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of the archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana
