See my essay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biological sex being real are correct.
” Wright ’ s reply links to a June 7 essay he wrote titled , “ JK Rowling is Right—Sex Is Real and It Is Not a ‘ Spectrum ’ .

lifesitenews--2020-06-18--Trudeau embarrasses woke Canadians in colossal failure to secure coveted seat on UN Security Council

June 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – After boasting that “ Canada is back , ” claiming that Stephen Harper embarrassed Canada on the world stage , and promising that achieving a seat on the UN Security Council would set all of that right , Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suffered an embarrassing rout this week when his own longstanding ( and expensive ) bid failed .
Canada came in third , after Norway and Ireland .
In what must be an extraordinary humiliation for Trudeau , his years-long bid for the UNSC seat actually garnered fewer votes ( 108 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2010 ( 114 ) .
If Harper ’ s failure was a reflection on his leadership , as Liberal luminaries told us at the time , Trudeau ’ s failure to even achieve what Harper accomplished must be something truly shameful .
Paul Wells summed it up with brutal candor over at Maclean ’ s : “ Believing a win at the UN would fall from the heavens on Trudeau because he was n't Harper was an expression of the narcissism and shallowness that have characterized this government during much of its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ failure to secure this seat is unsurprising for a number of reasons .
First of all , despite the unwillingness of Canada ’ s leaders to admit this , Canada is not a powerful or consequential country .
Canada has not been a middle power since shortly after the Second World War , and Trudeau has ensured that Canada ’ s primary role on the world stage is the projection of “ wokeness , ” with millions of taxpayer dollars being funneled to developing countries to procure abortions for impoverished women .
Abortion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is one of Trudeau ’ s favorite subjects .
Incidentally , there are more than a few socially conservative leaders at the United Nations who don ’ t find Trudeau ’ s obsession with pelvic issues and feticide endearing .
Canada is back , indeed .
It also bears mentioning that Justin Trudeau has been an international laughingstock at multiple points throughout his tenure as prime minister ( as opposed to Harper , whose major fashion gaffe was a safari vest he wore on a trip to Mexico . )
There was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provoked global gales of laughter and triggered savage columns from the British press .
The consensus seemed to be that the fresh new Canadian PM was trying too hard , and that he should perhaps relax a little .
And then came his India trip , in which he pranced across the country like an Indian version of the Village People .
Even Indian celebrities told the press that Trudeau appeared to be more Indian than those he was visiting .
Everyone appreciated the effort ( with much snickering and even rude chortles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even the Liberals were forced to admit that the trip had been a high-profile embarrassment .
And then , of course , there was the blackface scandal , with photographs and video of Trudeau in blackface , cavorting like a monkey , at almost thirty years of age in one of them .
When asked how often he wore blackface , he either didn ’ t remember or refused to say , neither of which were particularly positive indications of his past discretion .
After cultivating himself as the “ wokest ” of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around the globe , revealing to all that Trudeau could not live up to his own standards .
Nobody doubted that Trudeau would have instantly axed any colleague guilty of the same sins .
Nobody doubted that Trudeau believed so much in himself above all that he would flaunt the double standard and wear his hypocrisy proudly .
Many suspected that his narcissism was so pronounced that he might actually believe his own myth .
So it can not be surprising , then , that a leader with a penchant for embarrassing himself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to achieve the respect necessary to secure a seat on the UN Security Council .
If Harper had made any of the mistakes that Trudeau has made , Trudeau would be frothing at the cameras as we speak , denouncing the irrevocable tarnish to Canada ’ s international reputation .
Nobody would question that fact that a leader exposed as a shallow man with a penchant for costumes and blackface pitching Canada ’ s importance as a progressive voice would be seen by many as a transparent joke .
But the same rules @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and so many will pretend that he was not the key factor in ensuring that Canada failed to secure the prize that Trudeau himself promised Canadians would be a sign that Canada was “ back.
” Jonathon ’ s new podcast , The Van Maren Show , is dedicated to telling the stories of the pro-life and pro-family movement .
In his latest episode , he interviews African-American pro-life leader Ryan Bomberger who speaks out about the harm being done by the Black Lives Matter movement and the best way to respond to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US and across the world .

It also bears mentioning that Justin Trudeau has been an international laughingstock at multiple points throughout his tenure as prime minister (as opposed to Harper, whose major fashion gaffe was a safari vest he wore on a trip to Mexico.) There was the “peoplekind” incident, which provoked global gales of laughter and triggered savage columns from the British press. The consensus seemed to be that the fresh new Canadian PM was trying too hard, and that he should perhaps relax a little. And then came his India trip, in which he pranced across the country like an Indian version of the Village People. Even Indian celebrities told the press that Trudeau appeared to be more Indian than those he was visiting. Everyone appreciated the effort (with much snickering and even rude chortles from a few quarters), but even the Liberals were forced to admit that the trip had been a high-profile embarrassment.
And then, of course, there was the blackface scandal, with photographs and video of Trudeau in blackface, cavorting like a monkey, at almost thirty years of age in one of them. When asked how often he wore blackface, he either didn’t remember or refused to say, neither of which were particularly positive indications of his past discretion. After cultivating himself as the “wokest” of world leaders, the scandal hit headlines around the globe, revealing to all that Trudeau could not live up to his own standards. Nobody doubted that Trudeau would have instantly axed any colleague guilty of the same sins. Nobody doubted that Trudeau believed so much in himself above all that he would flaunt the double standard and wear his hypocrisy proudly. Many suspected that his narcissism was so pronounced that he might actually believe his own myth.
So it cannot be surprising, then, that a leader with a penchant for embarrassing himself on the world stage failed so spectacularly to achieve the respect necessary to secure a seat on the UN Security Council. If Harper had made any of the mistakes that Trudeau has made, Trudeau would be frothing at the cameras as we speak, denouncing the irrevocable tarnish to Canada’s international reputation. Nobody would question that fact that a leader exposed as a shallow man with a penchant for costumes and blackface pitching Canada’s importance as a progressive voice would be seen by many as a transparent joke. But the same rules have never applied to Justin Trudeau, and so many will pretend that he was not the key factor in ensuring that Canada failed to secure the prize that Trudeau himself promised Canadians would be a sign that Canada was “back.”

lifesitenews--2020-06-18--Why the liturgical reform shouldn’t have dropped reciting prologue of John’s Gospel after every Mass

June 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – At the end of every Tridentine Mass , after the final blessing , the celebrant steps to the Gospel side of the altar to read the Last Gospel , the Prologue of John : “ In the beginning was the Word… ” This beautiful custom is described thus in Dom Prosper Guéranger ’ s explanation of the Mass : Why is this reading done ?

June 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – At the end of every Tridentine Mass, after the final blessing, the celebrant steps to the Gospel side of the altar to read the Last Gospel, the Prologue of John: “In the beginning was the Word…” This beautiful custom is described thus in Dom Prosper Guéranger’s explanation of the Mass:
Why is this reading done? The custom originates from the Middle Ages. At that period, as in earlier times also, the faithful had a great devotion to having a portion of the Gospel read over them, and the commencement of that of St. John was a special favourite. Demands at last became so multiplied, that the number of Priests was insufficient to satisfy all: to simplify the matter, it was decided to recite it over all those assembled, at the end of the Mass. The devotion of the faithful, therefore, alone originated this addition…. When the Priest comes to these words of the Gospel of St. John: Et verbum caro factum est, he genuflects in honour of the annihilation of the Word made flesh, who emptied Himself, taking the form of a Servant (Phil 2:7). The Gospel being ended, the Priest comes down from the Altar, after bowing to the Cross.
The fittingness of this organically developed practice is well articulated by Martin Mosebach:
The Last Gospel is the most recent part of the classical rite. The prologue of St. John’s Gospel was not integrated into Holy Mass until the 13th century; it appears in the Dominican missals for the first time in 1256. The liturgical manuals refer to the prologue of St. John as a “blessing.” In fact, even the reading of the gospel in the rite of the Catechumens was not merely a proclamation but also a sacramental and a blessing with absolution: “Per evangelica dicta deleantur nostra delicta—By the words of the gospel may our sins be blotted out.” At the Last Gospel it is this aspect of blessing that comes to the fore. It contained the core of the Christian faith in the shortest possible form, and that is why the prologue was regarded as possessing special power. In the Book of Gospels that was used at imperial coronations this prologue was written in letters of gold on purple parchment. The emperor spoke the words as a coronation oath, thus professing his responsibility for a creation that had been hallowed by the incarnation of the Word. (Heresy of Formlessness, 117–18)
Mosebach then notes that St. Thomas Aquinas, when called upon to compose Propers for the Feast of Corpus Christi, did not write a new Preface but chose the Preface of the Nativity, which celebrates the mystery of the Incarnation. In this way, he powerfully linked the mystery of the sacramental renewal of the Sacrifice of the Cross with the mystery at its origin, the enfleshment of the Son of God so that He would have a body and a human life to offer as an infinitely pleasing oblation. As the Epistle to the Hebrews declares: “Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith: ‘Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me… Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God’… In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once” (Heb 10:5, 7, 10). Behold, He comes into the world to offer this all-holy Body as the only worthy sacrifice that coincides with the will of God and sanctifies all who partake of it.
In Mosebach’s words:
Is it by chance that, at the same time and in the same religious order, the Christmas preface and the Christmas gospel acquired a function in the Mass that goes beyond their particular link with Christmas? What the Christmas preface contributed to an understanding of the sacrament of the altar at Corpus Christi, the prologue of St. John’s gospel—the Christmas gospel—did every day. It constantly called to mind that celebrating the memoria of the sacrifice of redemption presupposes the real enfleshment, the changing of God into man, from wine into blood, from death into life. The prologue of St. John became the epitome of the whole Mass. Each concrete, individual celebration of Mass was concentrated in the visionary, supra-temporal words of the prologue. “We have seen his glory”—this now referred, not to the memory of Christ’s transfiguration in St. John’s gospel, but to the sight of the elevated Host. At Mass the believer became a witness of the events of faith. (Ibid., 119)
In the period from St. Pius V to the mid-twentieth century, the Prologue of John would often be replaced with a proper Gospel of the day when the latter had been displaced by the Gospel of a feast of higher rank. Although this “shifting” of a Gospel to the final slot had the advantage of ensuring that loyal “dogs of the Lord” (Domini canes, as one might say) would not lose any of the crumbs that fell from the Master’s liturgical table, at the same time we can recognize, with Mosebach, that the Prologue of John is uniquely appropriate for the end of Mass. In the rubrics governing the 1962 Missale Romanum used by most traditional Catholics today, the Prologue was reestablished as the sole Gospel after the Mass. Mosebach defends the fittingness of this rubric:
The prologue of St. John cannot be replaced by any other gospel; it is profoundly nonsensical to put in its place a reading that belongs to a commemorated feast. Those who are committed to the Last Gospel will not agree, either, with the widely accepted custom of permitting the congregation to sing a hymn while this Gospel is being read…. As a text that is constantly being read and that many people know by heart, the prologue of St. John can be read (un)self-consciously sotto voce while the members of the congregation follow it in their missals. The aim of the prologue is contemplation, the retrospective beholding of a lived reality. (Ibid., 120)
Whether we agree with Mosebach’s pugnacious opinion or not, we can observe that every scholarly treatment of the sacred liturgy and every devotional manual throughout the Catholic world contained edifying reflections about this Prologue and the rightness of its placement at the end of every (or nearly every) Mass.
The liturgical reformers glibly removed this Last Gospel, this veritable epitome of the Christian Faith, and allowed it to remain in the lectionary for one day of the year: the Christmas Day Mass. We can be assured that contemporary Catholics who attend only the Novus Ordo are barely familiar with this reading, in contrast to traditional Catholics who know it extremely well—often well enough, as Mosebach notes, to mouth the words along with the priest, if they wanted to.
In a course on the mystery of the Trinity at Wyoming Catholic College, theology professors require students to memorize the Prologue of John and then write it out, word for word, for the final exam. Students may choose to write it out in English, Latin, or Greek (the last for extra credit). Due to the love of these young adults for the Latin Mass, which had already immersed them in this Prologue, some find it easier to write it out in Latin than in English. This Gospel is lodged in their memory, part of their soul, part of the interior architecture in which they will live their lives.
This, indeed, is how the liturgy should be—and it is impossible for the liturgy to function this way when the readings are so numerous and constantly changing, as occurs in the Novus Ordo. Put it this way: it would be better for a man on his deathbed to have words from the Prologue of John come spontaneously to his imagination and his lips, than for him to fail to recall the vast swathes of the Bible that were sprayed over him for decades. This is part of the genius of the old Mass: it carefully selects the most powerful passages of Scripture and repeats them year after year, even—as with the Prologue and certain Psalms—day after day.
Unquestionably, the Prologue of John is the ideal capstone to the Holy Mass, and its loss is deeply regrettable. There is frankly no good reason at all for any traditionalists (I think here especially of some Benedictine monasteries) to continue to follow the maimed 1965 ritual, now that it is so well known that the liturgical reformers intended 1965 merely as a halfway house on the path to the Novus Ordo of 1969. The 1965 “interim missal” is already a torso without limbs, like one of those still-beautiful but sad antiquities at the Vatican museum: Venus, sans an arm or a leg. Such is the Mass without its Introibo and its In Principio. The lopping-off of the prayers at the foot of the altar and of the Last Gospel creates a serious artistic imbalance. Before these prayers were added historically, the Mass would have seemed complete enough; but as with many great works of art, these finishing touches elevated what was already beautiful to a new perfection, as an elaborate gilt frame enhances the painting within.
So beloved was this glorious fanfare of the Fourth Gospel, familiar to all from its placement at the end of Mass, that it led, in the blossoming of early Renaissance music, to a magnificent polyphonic setting of it by Josquin des Pres (1450/55–1521):
The polyphony of Josquin comes from an era in which liturgy achieved its supreme perfection. The glaring absence of the Prologue in the 1965 interim missal and in the Novus Ordo, as well as the general absence of polyphony of the quality of Josquin’s, are signs of the glory of God having departed from the temple.

lifesitenews--2020-06-18--UK school apologizes after asking 11-year-olds to define ‘hardcore pornography’

UNITED KINGDOM , June 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A U.K. school has apologized after parents complained about children as young as 11 being given homework asking them to define terms such as hardcore pornography and transexual pornography .
Archbishop Sentamu Academy , a Church of England school in Hull , “ apologised for any offence caused ” after angry parents complained about the homework , the Daily Mail reports .
According to the report , teachers asked children between 11 and 14 years old “ to ‘ define ' pornography , soft pornography , hardcore pornography and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ genital mutilation , wet dreams , trafficking , male circumcision , breast ironing and more.
” One mother told the U.K. newspaper that searching for these phrases online , in order to research the definitions , would have “ destroyed ” her eleven year old daughter ’ s mind and “ scarred her for life.
” “ My daughter is still very much a child , we 've still got magic elves , her bedroom is done in My Little Pony .
She is very innocent and naive , ” she said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ last year living her best life , now she is being asked to search for hardcore pornography.
” The mother said that she had seen complaints about the homework from other parents on a Facebook group and so had prevented her daughter from looking up the terms .
“ They have been told to use Google and she would have searched it .
I did Google hardcore porn and some of the images that came up [ were ] quite disturbing , ” she added .
“ They 're a very religious school @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say they are a religious school but condone writing something like this in the book ?
I ca n't get my head around it .
I do n't get the benefit from it , apart from scaring the kids.
” Head teacher Chay Bell defended the homework , but said that he had asked “ that no future PSHE materials contain any potentially sensitive content and will ensure all materials are fully age-appropriate . ''
“ The PSHE materials that we share with students are produced in line with government guidance , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sex Education Forum ’ s definition of Sex Education , ” Bell said .
Bell denied that children had been asked to research the terms online , saying that “ all the answers to the questions posed are contained in the teacher-produced materials we shared.
” The BBC report covering the story notes that “ a spokesman for the Department for Education said it was a matter for the school and had no further comment to make.
” Sex education in U.K. schools is coming under increasing scrutiny from various groups concerned with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Proud Trust , another LGBT group creating educational content for U.K. schools , has recently attracted attention for having created a game where children as young as 13 make cardboard six-sided dice with the words Vulva ( including vagina ) , Penis , Anus , Mouth , Hands/Fingers , and Object on each side .
The instructions explain : “ The game is to roll the two dice and then the group will discuss what sexual activity is possible using the two words that face upwards.
” Last year , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stonewall , a U.K. LGBT activist group roughly equivalent to the Human Rights Campaign ( HRC ) in the United States , which encouraged British primary schools to embed gay , lesbian , and transgender themes and examples into every subject area and every grade level .
From this coming September , new relationships and sex education ( RSE ) courses had been scheduled to take effect in the U.K .
This has now been delayed until September 2021 .
The government has made it clear that pupils must receive teaching about LGBT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at school .
For schools that adopt Stonewall ’ s guidelines , this would mean that children as young as five would be reading about families headed by two lesbians and/or two homosexual males in subjects such as math , science , and geography .
Writing in The Conservative Woman , Belinda Brown argues that the government ’ s offer to consult with parents on compulsory RSE lessons “ is a totally inadequate sop.
” “ Firstly , what the Department for Education is offering parents is not ‘ consultation ’ , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to provide parents with the opportunity to ‘ feed in their views on the school ’ s proposed Relationships Education policy ’ , ” Brown explains .
“ However , they make it clear that while this ‘ engagement ’ may influence the timing and methods of schools ’ approach to certain topics , there is no requirement to influence the content in any way.
” Dr. Tom Rogers of the Safe at School campaign has said that it is imperative that parents take advantage of the delay in the implementation of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s school to hold a proper consultation .
“ Parents should not have any form of Relationships and Sex Education foisted upon their children without being properly consulted , ” Rogers said .
“ We are hearing from parents that some schools are merely presenting parents with a policy and a curriculum for these new compulsory subjects and counting this as a consultation .
This approach is completely inadequate and amounts to a slap in the face to parents , ” he continued .
“ A proper consultation should result in schools truly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children to be exposed to explicit sexual content and teaching on same-sex relationships in the classroom .
This must be accurately reflected in the policy and the teaching materials used in the school.
” Caroline Ffiske argues in a June 15 article that “ [ a ] ll schools should also be required to place their RSE material on their websites .
Why not ?
There is nothing that schools should want to hide.
” Ffiske highlights a recent letter from Conservative peer Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne Gavin Williamson the U.K. Secretary of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s RSE guidelines .
“ Unfortunately , as offered , the Guidelines leave the door open for anyone to teach whatever they want at any age they consider appropriate , ” the baroness writes .
“ We must surely consider carefully the state ’ s role in telling schoolchildren that a bearded man with a penis can be a lesbian and any girls and boys deviating from 1950s gender norms are in the wrong body .
”

Students between 11 and 14 years old were asked to define 'pornography, soft pornography, hardcore pornography and transsexual pornography, as well as female genital mutilation, wet dreams, trafficking, male circumcision, breast ironing and more.'
UNITED KINGDOM, June 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A U.K. school has apologized after parents complained about children as young as 11 being given homework asking them to define terms such as hardcore pornography and transexual pornography.

Last year, the Government Equalities Office sponsored guidelines produced by Stonewall, a U.K. LGBT activist group roughly equivalent to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in the United States, which encouraged British primary schools to embed gay, lesbian, and transgender themes and examples into every subject area and every grade level.
From this coming September, new relationships and sex education (RSE) courses had been scheduled to take effect in the U.K. This has now been delayed until September 2021.
The government has made it clear that pupils must receive teaching about LGBT relationships at some point while they are at school. For schools that adopt Stonewall’s guidelines, this would mean that children as young as five would be reading about families headed by two lesbians and/or two homosexual males in subjects such as math, science, and geography.
Writing in The Conservative Woman, Belinda Brown argues that the government’s offer to consult with parents on compulsory RSE lessons “is a totally inadequate sop.”
“Firstly, what the Department for Education is offering parents is not ‘consultation’, but ‘engagement’. The aim is to provide parents with the opportunity to ‘feed in their views on the school’s proposed Relationships Education policy’,” Brown explains.
“However, they make it clear that while this ‘engagement’ may influence the timing and methods of schools’ approach to certain topics, there is no requirement to influence the content in any way.”
Dr. Tom Rogers of the Safe at School campaign has said that it is imperative that parents take advantage of the delay in the implementation of the courses to call on their child’s school to hold a proper consultation.
“Parents should not have any form of Relationships and Sex Education foisted upon their children without being properly consulted,” Rogers said.
“We are hearing from parents that some schools are merely presenting parents with a policy and a curriculum for these new compulsory subjects and counting this as a consultation. This approach is completely inadequate and amounts to a slap in the face to parents,” he continued.
“A proper consultation should result in schools truly respecting families which do not want their children to be exposed to explicit sexual content and teaching on same-sex relationships in the classroom. This must be accurately reflected in the policy and the teaching materials used in the school.”
Caroline Ffiske argues in a June 15 article that “[a]ll schools should also be required to place their RSE material on their websites. Why not? There is nothing that schools should want to hide.”
Ffiske highlights a recent letter from Conservative peer Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne Gavin Williamson the U.K. Secretary of State for Education regarding the government’s RSE guidelines.
“Unfortunately, as offered, the Guidelines leave the door open for anyone to teach whatever they want at any age they consider appropriate,” the baroness writes.
“We must surely consider carefully the state’s role in telling schoolchildren that a bearded man with a penis can be a lesbian and any girls and boys deviating from 1950s gender norms are in the wrong body.”

lifesitenews--2020-06-18--Australia’s senior cleric says report calling for Church governance by lay women will be amended

AUSTRALIA , June 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Australia ’ s senior Catholic cleric has said that a recently released report commissioned by the Australian Catholic Bishops ’ Conference ( ACBC ) which calls for radical changes to Church governance is only an “ interim version ” and that it will be amended before a final report is published .
“ The Light from the Southern Cross : Promoting Co-Responsible Governance in the Catholic Church in Australia , ” a 208-page review of the governance of the Church in Australia , recommends significant increases in the influence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Church ’ s male-only priesthood .
The review was commissioned in response to a recommendation from a five-year government inquiry into institutional child sexual abuse in all areas of Australian society and published earlier this month in La Croix International .
Brisbane Archbishop Mark Coleridge , president of the ACBC , said in a statement published this week that the report published in various media outlets is “ an interim version rather than the final report.
” Coleridge , who last month welcomed the report , stressed that saying that the report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deny the strength and quality of what the Governance Review Project Team produced in a comparatively short time.
” “ The bishops are profoundly grateful to them for the service they have rendered to the Church , ” he said .
“ But inevitably , especially given the pressure to have the report in a form to give the Conference before its meeting , there is a need for some amendment and clarification at certain points .
This is why the bishops have been asked to provide their feedback before 17 July .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the report will be amended .
The amended version will then be published in late July or early August , accompanied by a reading guide.
” The Church in Australia is currently preparing for a plenary council , scheduled to begin next year .
A plenary council is the highest formal gathering of the Catholic Church in a particular country .
The last one held in Australia was in 1937 .
Decisions made at the council must be approved by Rome .
If approved , they will be binding on the Church in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this week that “ [ it ] will be up to the Plenary Council to determine what response the Church will make to the report as a whole ; and given that the Council is the work of the Holy Spirit , it is the Holy Spirit who will have the final say.
” Last year , Coleridge presided at an event in preparation for the upcoming plenary council , where it was proposed that the Church in Australia develop a “ rite of blessing ” for same-sex couples and for divorced Catholics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not their spouses .
The proposal was made on large screens at the Brisbane Assembly , a two-day event organized by the Brisbane archdiocese .
Coleridge , primate of Brisbane , was seated in the front row immediately underneath the screens when the proposal was displayed .
Shortly afterward , Coleridge gave his concluding speech for the event in which he asked the audience of approximately 400 people , “ So , brothers and sisters , sisters and brothers , I ask you , are you ready to surrender ?
Are you open @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to let God reshape you ?
Are we as a Church , as a diocese , willing to let God reshape us ?
” At the beginning of the two-day event in Brisbane , Father Noel Conolly , a Catholic priest and member of the Plenary Council Facilitation Team , gave a presentation calling for major reform in the Church .
Conolly said , “ We 're in the birth pangs of a new church in Australia .
A listening church , a discerning church , a pilgrim church .
It wo n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , after the plenary council .
Well , hopefully , it ’ ll be the same church , but it will have a totally different kind of culture.
” Father Glen Tattersall , a parish priest in the Archdiocese of Melbourne , told LifeSiteNews that Coleridge 's statement on the Church governance report is “ an unconvincing attempt at damage control.
” “ The report on Church governance has been leaked by his allies – hence his notable failure to raise questions about who is responsible for the leak , or to call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Tattersall said that one bishop has confided to him precisely how unhappy he was to receive the report .
“ The report is so far removed from a Catholic understanding of Holy Orders and pastoral governance , that it is likely to be irremediable , ” he continued .
“ I would have thought that the integrity of the office of President of the ACBC would demand that the incumbent , as a priority , address the theological errors of the report , instead of heaping praise upon its authors and hiding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The only thing that is ‘ transparent ’ about this statement is that it avoids any issue of substance.
” Tattersall also questioned Coleridge ’ s assertion that the upcoming Plenary Council is the work of the Holy Spirit .
“ The toxic divisions of the Church in Australia are too easily passed over by the inevitable assurance that the Plenary Council is the work of the Holy Spirit .
That ’ s a bold claim , made without a shred of evidence .
What if it isn ’ t ?

(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.
The goal is, by means of this Daily Rosary and by embracing and living out the message given by the Virgin Mary at Fatima, the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart.
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
To learn more about the urgency of responding to Our Lady’s message at Fatima, and about what you can do, please read Cardinal Burke’s 2017 address at the Rome Life Forum.
As St. Padre Pio once said, “The Rosary is the weapon for these times.” Through prayer, God can shape history, change the world, and bring about a great time of renewal and peace for the Church and for the world, through the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart. Join us today!
