lifesitenews--2020-11-03--New book by sexual assault accuser Tara Reade reveals how media protected Joe Biden

November 2 , 2020 ( NewsBusters ) — As we enter the final days of the 2020 presidential election , compliant journalists have protected Joe Biden on many fronts .
But the most egregious and shocking is the lack of interest by reporters when it comes to the sexual assault allegation made by former staffer Tara Reade against the Democrat .
After Reade went public in March to assert that Biden forcibly penetrated her while a Senate staffer in 1993 , the networks , as well as CNN and MSNBC , buried the story .
Since protective journalists don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reade is telling her own story in a new book called Left Out : When the Truth Doesn ’ t Fit In .
For anyone who wants to know the depth of corruption and collusion between the liberal media and the Democrats , this book is a must read .
Activist and actress Rose McGowan put it this way in the introduction to Reade ’ s book : “ Fake news isn ’ t only what ’ s written , it ’ s what ’ s purposely omitted .
When it comes to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working against Tara , the only word that comes to mind is sad.
” Here are but a few of the examples from Reade 's book : As I wrote at the time , The Washington Post waited three weeks to even cover her story .
On pages 14–15 , Reade explained the harassing , insulting way Post co-writer Beth Reinhard interrogated her : Later that morning , a strident female voice with an East Coast twang called .
“ Tara ?
” she asks .
I answered “ Yes ?
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Post .
You have come forward with a sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden .
Don ’ t you realize this will hurt his campaign ?
” She is almost shouting at me .
I was stunned and silent for a second .
I had talked to reporters before , including The Post in 2019 , when I discussed the sexual harassment I endured in Joe Biden ’ s office .
However , this was the first time I was scolded .
She continued her questions that sounded more like statements .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them .
“ Did he move his hand upwards ?
” she asked .
I felt a sharp intake of my own breath .
What does she mean ?
I wondered .
Finally , in a more assertive tone , Beth asked , “ Did he touch your clitoris ?
” I stammered as I acknowledged he had moved his hand upwards after he pulled out his fingers .
Was she implying that I experienced pleasure ?
Or was she trying to make it sound consensual ?
What did this even mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I heard as an echo .
The conversation ended with my sobbing .
“ Oh , Tara .
I will call you back , ” she stated impatiently in that discernable [ sic ] Eastern affect .
She hung up .
There was a double click as she disconnected .
On page 29 , she wrote of the callous treatment from The New York Times .
Reade explained : As NewsBusters noted on April 13 , the Times official account offered this jaw-dropping ( now deleted ) take : “ We found no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beyond hugs , kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.
” Finally on October 4 , 60 Minutes came calling .
Except… it was 60 Minutes Australia .
Not the U.S. edition .
That ’ s right , a news outlet on the other side of the planet did the job that American press wouldn ’ t .
From page 39 : On page 40 , Reade revealed that CNN ’ s Don Lemon didn ’ t like her going with Megyn Kelly for an interview : That ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ network partisan .
Reade ’ s story featured additional corroboration when video surfaced , first put online by NewsBusters , of Reade ’ s mom calling the Larry King show back in 1993 .
In it , her mom asked about how to deal with the situation .
Recently , a video from Larry King Live dated August 11 , 1993 resurfaced .
In the video , a female caller questioned what her daughter should do after having experienced an unnamed ‘ issue ’ with a prominent Senator with whom she had worked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this mother knew her daughter was scared to go to authorities .
We know now that her daughter had confided only in her mother , stepbrother , and a few close friends about the extent of this unnamed issue .
The mother did share that her daughter had been conflicted about speaking up — out of respect for her employer , and that she wanted to succeed at her job .
Larry listened , as did his experts on the show .
The daughter with the issue was me .
Reade ended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the trauma she suffered , despite the corruption of the mainstream media .
From page 163 : One of the most important parts of healing is creating that transformation from victim to survivor .
After the media attacks on my character it became clear to me that part of my future life ’ s work would be to forge a path for others with similar stories to be able to do so with more dignity and less fear .
One of the main ways to create this change is to examine the media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that assaulted me was a Democrat .
In order for rape culture to truly change , we have to change collectively the way we approach this .
Rape is an uncomfortable subject .
However , through understanding and compassion we can bring healing rather than more pain and trauma .
She concluded , `` The act of coming forward will bring the threats and hardships , but it shouldn ’ t be that hard to tell the truth .
I do not regret one minute of the past two years .
I did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gained more freedom . ''

The hardcover will be available January 1 , 2021 .

If you want the truth that journalists have hidden , read this book .

For anyone who wants to know the depth of corruption and collusion between the liberal media and the Democrats, this book is a must-read.

For anyone who wants to know the depth of corruption and collusion between the liberal media and the Democrats, this book is a must read. Activist and actress Rose McGowan put it this way in the introduction to Reade’s book: “Fake news isn’t only what’s written, it’s what’s purposely omitted. When it comes to observing the cabal of liberal media titans working against Tara, the only word that comes to mind is sad.”
Here are but a few of the examples from Reade's book: As I wrote at the time, The Washington Post waited three weeks to even cover her story. On pages 14–15, Reade explained the harassing, insulting way Post co-writer Beth Reinhard interrogated her:
Later that morning, a strident female voice with an East Coast twang called. “Tara?” she asks. I answered “Yes?” “This is Beth Reinhard from The Washington Post.

On page 29, she wrote of the callous treatment from The New York Times. Reade explained:
Did I think Lisa Lerer or Jim Rutenberg at the NYT recognized their bias or cruelty toward me? No. I just don’t think they cared that they misrepresented my life and destroyed my reputation to protect the status quo. I do know that Lisa Lerer will not be able to look her own daughter in the eye for the ugly way she treated my story to protect a powerful man.
As NewsBusters noted on April 13, the Times official account offered this jaw-dropping (now deleted) take: “We found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden, beyond hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.”
Finally on October 4, 60 Minutes came calling. Except… it was 60 Minutes Australia. Not the U.S. edition. That’s right, a news outlet on the other side of the planet did the job that American press wouldn’t. From page 39:
I came to learn that if a reporter seemed neutral, it was a positive thing. During the late summer, 60 Minutes Australia brought their camera crew to meet me in person and hear me out. The reporter, Alexis, had worked on many stories involving sexual misconduct and assault…. The interview itself with 60 Minutes Australia was very balanced and gave me a sense of dignity.
Here’s a video from the 60 Minutes Australia story.
On page 40, Reade revealed that CNN’s Don Lemon didn’t like her going with Megyn Kelly for an interview:
Don had sent a kind message saying sorry about the death threats that I had received. He even spoke directly with me on the phone. I almost went on his show, but finally chose to move forward with the Megyn Kelly interview. He sent me a text asking why I chose Megyn Kelly if I did not want to seem partisan?
That’s right. Someone on CNN called another network partisan.
Reade’s story featured additional corroboration when video surfaced, first put online by NewsBusters, of Reade’s mom calling the Larry King show back in 1993. In it, her mom asked about how to deal with the situation.
Here’s Reade on page 58:
Recently, a video from Larry King Live dated August 11, 1993 resurfaced. In the video, a female caller questioned what her daughter should do after having experienced an unnamed ‘issue’ with a prominent Senator with whom she had worked. Looking to the show for advice, this mother knew her daughter was scared to go to authorities. We know now that her daughter had confided only in her mother, stepbrother, and a few close friends about the extent of this unnamed issue. The mother did share that her daughter had been conflicted about speaking up — out of respect for her employer, and that she wanted to succeed at her job. Larry listened, as did his experts on the show. The daughter with the issue was me.
Reade ended with a message of hope, despite the trauma she suffered, despite the corruption of the mainstream media. From page 163:
One of the most important parts of healing is creating that transformation from victim to survivor. After the media attacks on my character it became clear to me that part of my future life’s work would be to forge a path for others with similar stories to be able to do so with more dignity and less fear.

In order for rape culture to truly change, we have to change collectively the way we approach this. Rape is an uncomfortable subject. However, through understanding and compassion we can bring healing rather than more pain and trauma.
She concluded, “The act of coming forward will bring the threats and hardships, but it shouldn’t be that hard to tell the truth. I do not regret one minute of the past two years. I did lose a great deal, but I gained more freedom.”

lifesitenews--2020-11-03--Mainstream networks neglect to cover Biden family scandals as election nears

November 2 , 2020 ( NewsBusters ) — On the debate stage last Thursday , President Donald Trump pressed Joe Biden on his son ’ s shady business dealings , even going so far as to invite Hunter ’ s former business partner Tony Bobulinski ( who confirmed the legitimacy of Hunter ’ s e-mails involving a Chinese deal ) to the event .
However , the Big Three ( ABC , CBS , NBC ) refused to care , as the name Tony Bobulinski has yet to be uttered on their evening or morning shows .
Since the morning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ York Post published new evidence of Hunter Biden ’ s corrupt business dealings with Ukraine and Joe Biden ’ s potential knowledge of it , the broadcast nets have buried the allegations .
Even when journalists mentioned the story , they devoted much of their time to knocking it down .
From Wednesday , October 14 through the morning of October 27 MRC analysts looked at the ABC , CBS , NBC evening and morning shows and their Sunday roundtable programs .
Out of a total of 113 hours of news programming , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 21 minutes , 46 seconds ) spent on the latest scandals involving Joe Biden ’ s son .
NBC spent just 9 minutes on Hunter ’ s scandals .
CBS led the broadcast networks with a still-measly 11 minutes and 41 seconds .
The failure of the three evening newscasts to cover this story is especially glaring .
Over the 14-day period the three evening news broadcasts aired 27 newscasts without mentioning the Hunter Biden scandal .
ABC ’ s World News Tonight maintained a blackout on 10 out of 11 broadcasts .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ just three out of 11 possible broadcasts .
NBC Nightly News brought up the Hunter scandals on only four out of 13 broadcasts .
[ Some weekend broadcasts were preempted by sports programming ] Both ABC ’ s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News went 7 straight shows without a mention of the new Hunter Biden allegations .
On the October 23 edition of ABC ’ s Good Morning America , correspondent Mary Bruce knocked down the latest revelations as she alerted her audience to what she denigrated as “ unverified claims.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the President went personal attacking Biden and his son Hunter making unverified claims that Biden improperly profited from his son ’ s business endeavors in Ukraine and China .
DONALD TRUMP : He is the vice president of the United States and his son , his brother and his other brother are getting rich .
They ’ re like a vacuum cleaner .
They ’ re sucking up money .
JOE BIDEN : I have not taken a single penny from any country whatsoever .
There ’ s a reason for it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the substantive issues .
Previously , CBS ’ s Anthony Mason had scoffed at the “ suspicious new claims , ” while NBC ’ s Hallie Jackson called it “ so dubious ... some intelligence experts think this has the hallmark of , like , a disinformation campaign meant to interfere with the election.
” ( For this study analysts looked at ABC ’ s World News Tonight , Good Morning America , ABC ’ s This Week ; CBS Evening News , CBS This Morning , CBS Sunday Morning and CBS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nightly News , NBC ’ s Today show , the Today show Third Hour , Sunday Today with Willie Geist , and Meet the Press ) .

Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which calls on the U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, to investigate the allegations of corruption and influence-peddling against former Vice President Joe Biden.
In an interview on Fox News, just this morning, the President stated: "This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election."
If proven true, these outrageous allegations against Biden could have massive implications for national security!
Americans do not want a president who will sell out his country to the highest bidder in order to enrich his family or save them from prosecution.
This scandal began last week when the New York Post dropped a bombshell story alleging that then Vice President Biden pressured Ukrainian authorities to fire a prosecutor who was investigating a company with ties to the Biden Family.
And, in another expose by the NY Post, also last week, the Biden Family is alleged to have improperly profited from deals made with one of the largest Chinese energy companies because of Vice President Biden's position in government.
Please SIGN our petition to support President Trump calling on the Attorney General to launch an investigation with all due haste.
The American public deserves to know the truth about Joe Biden and his involvement, if any, in this apparent influence-peddling scandal.
Serious questions need to be answered with all urgency!
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which urges William Barr, the U.S. Attorney General, to immediately initiate an inquiry into the alleged corruption scandal involving the Biden Family.

lifesitenews--2020-11-02--Amy Coney Barrett to hear Supreme Court case on Philadelphia canceling Catholic foster services

November 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — The U.S. Supreme Court with newly appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett is set to hear a case on Wednesday regarding Philadelphia ’ s Catholic Social Services and whether the city of Philadelphia has a right to block the organization ’ s status as a state-approved foster care provider because of the organization ’ s Catholic beliefs .
The city cut off CSS foster parents from having children placed in their homes in 2018 and refused to renew their contract with CSS due to the Catholic organization ’ s practice of not placing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the city of Philadelphia .
A May 2018 Courthouse News Service article stated , “ Joined by three of its foster parents , including lead plaintiff Sharonell Fulton , one of Catholic Social Services ’ 16 legal claims is that the city breached its contract , under which the century-old nonprofit church agency is helping to care for 127 children today.
” The Department of Human Services ’ defense was that the Catholic Church ’ s policies are inconsistent with “ certain core City principles , including our non-discrimination rules.
” The district @ @ @ @ @ @ @ favor of Philadelphia , claiming that CSS was discriminating against homosexuals and therefore in violation of the nondiscrimination clause of its contract .
CSS argues that the government has it backwards — that it is Philadelphia that is discriminating against CSS for being Catholic and violating the organization ’ s constitutional rights .
In fact , there were no same-sex couples who had brough the complaint against CSS .
It was the city who canceled them without provocation .
The Church claims that “ though no LGBT couple has filed a complaint against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not stand in the way of any couple who wished to foster a child in need , the City has decided to penalize the agency because the City disagrees with its religious beliefs.
” The case has now made its way to the SCOTUS to be heard on the day after the elections .

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!

lifesitenews--2020-11-02--Trump should prepare for possible imminent release of more dangerous COVID-20 or 21

November 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Yes , I realize the U.S. election is on now and that it appears Trump may be re-elected .
However , whether or not he is re-elected , there is a possibility , and only a possibility derived from circumstantial evidence , but evidence that should still be taken seriously , that another huge coronavirus pandemic might almost imminently begin .
Should this occur , it would wipe out all the gains Trump ’ s COVID-19 recovery policies have amazingly achieved and put the U.S. and many other nations into an even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experienced to date from the COVID-19 infections and the policies to stop it .
Following are some of the increasing indications that a new , much more dangerous version of coronavirus might imminently be released into the world .
There were comments by Bill Gates on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on April 23 and at a June 23 U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation event that seem alarming .
Check out the brief video of these yourself .
The comments are all the more concerning because the COVID-19 or Wuhan virus has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death rate has proven to be far lower than we were led to believe and has been found to be no worse than that of the flu .
There are now news reports of what is called a new “ Spanish strain ” or “ mutation ” of COVID-19 that is rapidly spreading across Europe .
It seems to be significantly different than the original COVID-19 that the world has been coping with .
That raises the question of whether it is a genuine mutation of the current virus or the new coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Breitbart yesterday reported the disturbing comments below by Dr. Anthony Fauci , whom we now know is a confirmed radical globalist likely closer to Biden than we realize , and whose “ fraudulent ” pandemic advice to President Trump and state governors and their health agencies “ put millions of Americans through Hell.
” Dr. Anthony Fauci , the leading infectious disease expert in the U.S. government , provided a grim prediction this week regarding the Chinese virus situation in America , saying the country is “ in for a whole lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rising cases and deaths .
Fauci , a prominent member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) , told the Post on Friday : We ’ re in for a whole lot of hurt .
It ’ s not a good situation .
All the stars are aligned in the wrong place as you go into the fall and winter season , with people congregating at home indoors .
You could not possibly be positioned more poorly .
Fauci @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ abrupt change ” in public health practices and behaviors .
“ He said the country could surpass 100,000 new coronavirus cases a day and predicted rising deaths in the coming weeks , ” the Post noted .
What does Fauci know that no one else appears to know , including numerous top scientists who are certain we have long passed the normal and predictable most dangerous period of a covid virus pandemic ?
Also , in May of this year , I was directly told in a telephone conversation with an HCQ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certain that a more deadly version of coronavirus would be released into the world during the Fall of this year .
I would normally not pay much attention to such a prediction that sounds a lot like fake news .
But , he was personally introduced to me by the renowned Irish scientist Professor Dolores Cahill , who told me she frequently contacts the high-level physician specialist and recommended him to me .
I have no idea how credible his warning is , but I trust Professor Cahill ’ s high praise for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Peter Breggin wrote in a recent article , What information does Biden have to make such an ominous statement ?
The reported close ties of both Biden and Fauci to Communist China , which we now know allowed the current virus to spread throughout the world , and Fauci ’ s role in facilitating the development of a similar virus in the Wuhan lab , does cause one to consider that there may be something to Biden ’ s warning .
For a video eye-opener about what might possibly be coming upon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ analysis by Dave Cullen about his response to a letter from an alleged senior Canadian civil servant about what he says he was allegedly told in a high-level government meeting .
It could be total fake news , but Cullen , like I do , thinks it does have a ring of credibility to it .
Again , it could be fraudulent , but it is not written in a manner that a fraudster would write such a letter .
Here it is .
I am sorry that I can not embed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give it serious attention , whether it is valid or not .
Cullen uses legitimate documents and filmed statements by notable persons in his videos to back up what he states .
I trust Dave Cullen .
He has done an excellent job of on-going , unique , and thorough investigative reporting with plenty of evidence , on the Wuhan virus and everything related to it .
So , the warning from the specialist , Biden ’ s and Fauci ’ s strange comments above , Dave Cullen ’ s analysis of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Breggins ’ articles , and the disturbing statements by Bill Gates , who is deeply involved with globalist Dr. Anthony Fauci , the Davos Summit elites and their Great Reset plans , all lead me to consider that we should at least be really well prepared for the appearance of a new , Covid-20 or 21 virus , or the possibility of a more virulent mutation of COVID-19 .
How to prepare for another Covid pandemic Since we are now are much more certain that Hydroxychloroquine with Zinc , and an antibiotic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most accessible , inexpensive , safe , and very effective medication for any version of COVID , even a predicted COVID-20 or 21 , then it is somewhat straightforward how to be prepared for such a new coronavirus pandemic .
Number one is to take off all HCQ use restrictions and have a very large stock of inexpensive hydroxychloroquine manufactured and spread all over the world in case it is needed , along with the simple directions of when and how to use it .
Number 2 is to use all that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ past several months about being properly prepared for such a pandemic and what policies to absolutely avoid since they cause more harm than good .
Protect the vulnerable and let the much less vulnerable enjoy a normal life with the goal of eventually and carefully reaching herd immunity .
There are also a few other treatments that are said to be quite effective , but they are not as simple to use as HCQ and , contrary to HCQ , which is used at home at an early stage when someone suspects they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with daily zinc as a preventative , the others require an in-hospital application .
I wrote the following in my 2-part series on mandatory masking : A video interview with Dr. Richard Bartlett has gained over 4 million views to date .
In it Bartlett promotes a 20-years old , reliable medication treatment for covid-infected patients he has been using with 100 % effectiveness .

I was directly told in a telephone conversation with an HCQ expert and physician specialist that he was certain a more deadly version of coronavirus would be released into the world during the Fall of this year.
November 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Yes, I realize the U.S. election is on now and that it appears Trump may be re-elected. However, whether or not he is re-elected, there is a possibility, and only a possibility derived from circumstantial evidence, but evidence that should still be taken seriously, that another huge coronavirus pandemic might almost imminently begin.
Should this occur, it would wipe out all the gains Trump’s COVID-19 recovery policies have amazingly achieved and put the U.S. and many other nations into an even more devastating crash than anything we have experienced to date from the COVID-19 infections and the policies to stop it.
Following are some of the increasing indications that a new, much more dangerous version of coronavirus might imminently be released into the world.
There were comments by Bill Gates on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on April 23 and at a June 23 U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation event that seem alarming. Check out the brief video of these yourself.
The comments are all the more concerning because the COVID-19 or Wuhan virus has clearly faded in potency and the overall death rate has proven to be far lower than we were led to believe and has been found to be no worse than that of the flu.
There are now news reports of what is called a new “Spanish strain” or “mutation” of COVID-19 that is rapidly spreading across Europe. It seems to be significantly different than the original COVID-19 that the world has been coping with. That raises the question of whether it is a genuine mutation of the current virus or the new coronavirus that some having been indicating would appear.
Breitbart yesterday reported the disturbing comments below by Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom we now know is a confirmed radical globalist likely closer to Biden than we realize, and whose “fraudulent” pandemic advice to President Trump and state governors and their health agencies “put millions of Americans through Hell.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading infectious disease expert in the U.S. government, provided a grim prediction this week regarding the Chinese virus situation in America, saying the country is “in for a whole lot of hurt” this winter due to rising cases and deaths. Fauci, a prominent member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), told the Post on Friday: We’re in for a whole lot of hurt. It’s not a good situation. All the stars are aligned in the wrong place as you go into the fall and winter season, with people congregating at home indoors. You could not possibly be positioned more poorly. Fauci reportedly urged the U.S. to make an “abrupt change” in public health practices and behaviors. “He said the country could surpass 100,000 new coronavirus cases a day and predicted rising deaths in the coming weeks,” the Post noted.
What does Fauci know that no one else appears to know, including numerous top scientists who are certain we have long passed the normal and predictable most dangerous period of a covid virus pandemic?
Also, in May of this year, I was directly told in a telephone conversation with an HCQ expert and physician specialist that he was certain that a more deadly version of coronavirus would be released into the world during the Fall of this year. I would normally not pay much attention to such a prediction that sounds a lot like fake news. But, he was personally introduced to me by the renowned Irish scientist Professor Dolores Cahill, who told me she frequently contacts the high-level physician specialist and recommended him to me. I have no idea how credible his warning is, but I trust Professor Cahill’s high praise for him.
Another related item is what Dr. Peter Breggin wrote in a recent article,
“In his second debate with President Trump, Biden warned “We’re about to go into a dark winter.” Breggin also revealed in the same article that both Biden and Fauci have “deep ties to Communist China.”
What information does Biden have to make such an ominous statement? The reported close ties of both Biden and Fauci to Communist China, which we now know allowed the current virus to spread throughout the world, and Fauci’s role in facilitating the development of a similar virus in the Wuhan lab, does cause one to consider that there may be something to Biden’s warning.
So, Dr. Breggins’ articles, and the disturbing statements by Bill Gates, who is deeply involved with globalist Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Davos Summit elites and their Great Reset plans, all lead me to consider that we should at least be really well prepared for the appearance of a new, Covid-20 or 21 virus, or the possibility of a more virulent mutation of COVID-19.
How to prepare for another Covid pandemic
Since we are now are much more certain that Hydroxychloroquine with Zinc, and an antibiotic when called for, is by far the most accessible, inexpensive, safe, and very effective medication for any version of COVID, even a predicted COVID-20 or 21, then it is somewhat straightforward how to be prepared for such a new coronavirus pandemic.
Number one is to take off all HCQ use restrictions and have a very large stock of inexpensive hydroxychloroquine manufactured and spread all over the world in case it is needed, along with the simple directions of when and how to use it.
Number 2 is to use all that has been learned and implemented during the past several months about being properly prepared for such a pandemic and what policies to absolutely avoid since they cause more harm than good. Protect the vulnerable and let the much less vulnerable enjoy a normal life with the goal of eventually and carefully reaching herd immunity.
There are also a few other treatments that are said to be quite effective, but they are not as simple to use as HCQ and, contrary to HCQ, which is used at home at an early stage when someone suspects they are infected, or two tabs weekly with daily zinc as a preventative, the others require an in-hospital application.
Effective Bartlett and Yadegar treatments for HCQ
I wrote the following in my 2-part series on mandatory masking: A video interview with Dr. Richard Bartlett has gained over 4 million views to date. In it Bartlett promotes a 20-years old, reliable medication treatment for covid-infected patients he has been using with 100% effectiveness. It involves an economical, Nebulizer-delivered, inhaled Budesonide steroid normally used to treat asthma. He also gives zinc and an antibiotic and said the treatment is risk-free and that “there is an abundance of this steroid.” President Trump appeared to indirectly refer to this treatment during his recent press conference when he recommended mask-wearing. Bartlett says it is also being used in Japan, Taiwan and Singapore with the effect, according to him, that only 7 people have died of covid in Taiwan and 1000 in Japan. Regarding masks, Bartlett questioned why “masks are being forced on people right now”. He adds, “We have never worn masks before to protect from the flu. This social distancing thing is not what is saving the Japanese, Taiwanese and people of Singapore. If used, our country would be wide open again and there would be no need for a vaccine.” Bartlett’s protocol is written up here and here. In the interview, he warns there is a study being done on the protocol but that, just as has repeatedly happened with many badly and possibly deliberately flawed “studies” on Hydroxychloroquine, “it is designed to fail”, such as using it on patients who have reached too serious a condition to benefit from the protocol. Yadegar Treatment The Daily Signal reports on another seemingly very effective, unusual treatment is being used by “Dr. Thomas Yadegar, a critical care physician for 20 years and now director of the intensive care unit at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center in Tarzana, California, who has been on the front lines of the pandemic”. It is reported that “the mortality rate in their ICU has been in the single digits, whereas nationally the mortality rate of critically ill patients has been between 40% and 70%.”
Perhaps and hopefully none of this will occur, but the main things we have learned the hard way since the Wuhan virus reached our shores, are that
We need to be far better prepared for such an eventuality than we were for COVID-19. We need to avoid giving bureaucrats or politicians too much medical power and veto power over which medications can be used. We must react quickly in removing those who give bad advice or who react too slowly in providing critically needed resources. Be aware of the potential negative influences of the pharmaceutical industry and their massively funded political lobbyists. Above all others, trust the advice and suggestions of doctors on the front lines who are having the greatest practical success treating patients. Be on high alert for persons and groups exploiting the pandemic for their own agendas and increased influence and power over citizens and nations.

Although the Australian Labor Party (ALP) has been accused of government overreach on other issues, the COVID crisis has clearly demonstrated that Labor should not be in power again, for a very, very long time.
Over the last six months, Victorians have endured an authoritarian abuse of power, and their ALP government has become the laughing-stock of western democracies.
Premier Daniel Andrews simply cannot be trusted to govern ever again.
Please SIGN this petition pledging not to vote Labor.
Here is short list of laws, directives and proposals which show how the ALP have forfeited their right to govern:
Allowing only 48 hours for public submissions, Labor's Omnibus Bill, now amended, would have authorised arbitrary arrest and indefinite detention for "pre-crime"
Victorian Labor hastily appointed private security firms to guard those in mandatory hotel quarantine. Some guards underwent diversity training but no Covid training, and ended up fraternizing with those in quarantine, thereby triggering the second wave which led to even harsher lockdowns measures. Premier Andrews had the audacity to deny knowledge of who appointed private security firms to the task, and then rolled his Health Minister to avoid responsibility.
Andrews' Labor Party imposed a nightly curfew, which was only just suspended last week when a private citizen was about to take out an injunction in court and in the process discovered that the curfew was not based on either medical, departmental or police advice – the ALP just thought this would be a good idea.
Churches remain closed and baptisms are forbidden under pain of a $10,000 penalty. The Last Rites were denied to dying Catholics, with the Health Department absurdly suggesting that anointing could somehow be done by teleconference instead
Meanwhile pubs and clubs are reopening across the state and the government is midway through a review looking at whether fully decriminalising sex work would achieve better public health outcomes.
Think about it. Arbitrary arrest and detention for "pre-crime" read right out of a dystopian novel. But this is really happening, right now.
However, your pledge not to vote Labor can help ensure that it doesn't happen again.
Please SIGN now, and pledge to not vote Labor. Thank you!

'We are still praying for Archbishop Gregory to do the right thing and apologize for his remarks which appeared to discourage presidential prayer, just at a time when our nation needs more prayer and not less.'
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – LifeSiteNews has delivered our petition to Archbishop Wilton Gregory, which asks him to apologize to President Donald Trump and the Knights of Columbus for the harsh and divisive remarks which he made about the president’s planned visit to the Shrine of Pope St. John Paul II in early June.
Recall the Archbishop’s caustic remarks about the president’s visit:
I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree.

“While Archbishop Gregory called the President's visit ‘baffling and reprehensible,’ and went on to suggest that the Shrine and the Knights of Columbus allowed themselves to be ‘egregiously misused and manipulated’ by the president, nothing could further from the truth,” said Scott Schittl, LifeSite’s petition director.
To dispel some of the archbishop's misinformation, the Knights released their own statement about the presidential visit, which was far more gracious in tone:
This [President Trump's visit] was fitting given St. John Paul II was a tireless advocate of religious liberty throughout his pontificate. International religious freedom receives widespread bipartisan support, including unanimous passage of legislation in defense of persecuted Christians and religious minorities around the world.
Trump’s visited had been timed to coincide with his signing of a new executive order on religious freedom.
“Even though the petition has now been delivered, we are still praying for Archbishop Gregory to do the right thing and apologize for his remarks which appeared to discourage presidential prayer, just at a time when our nation needs more prayer and not less,” said Schittl. “Please join us in praying for Archbishop Gregory and for President Trump.”

lifesitenews--2020-11-02--Priest explains why states always do evil by enshrining same-sex civil unions

November 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Can civil unions of same-sex persons be considered the subject of rights by the state ?
Is this denial , so firm and decisive , “ confessional ” — that is , an undue interference of faith in the field of political life and the secular state ?
Independent of whether or not faith can exercise its beneficial influence in the organization of society , the aforementioned denial does not depend only on faith , but is a conclusion that derives from the correct use of reason .
Can a Catholic consider @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but be in favor of a merely civil recognition of de facto unions between people of the same sex ?
No , because — as we have said — this recognition is contrary not only to faith , but to right reason .
So what is the argument of reason that proves the aforementioned recognition illegal ?
The first and most important is the fact that these unions do not contribute to the common good of society — common good that society itself , organized by the state , must pursue .
Can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good that society must strive for is its maintenance in existence .
A society maintains itself through generational change , which prevents its extinction .
On these assumptions , a form of union , which constitutively can not favor the permanence of society itself over time , can not be considered as oriented toward the common good .
Can a union of persons of the same sex therefore claim recognition by society ?
This union can claim nothing on the part of society , because it is not oriented toward the good of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ owes nothing to such unions .
If the state intervened , it would go beyond its task , which is to organize society in view of the pursuit of its purpose , which is the common good .
If the state denies the recognition of civil unions , would it not claim moral competences , and therefore not its own ?
No , because this denial derives not from moral presuppositions , but only from the judgment on civil unions with regard to the common good .
Wouldn ’ t people with homosexual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this way ?
No , because they maintain all the rights of individual human persons , and it is not possible for them to be proven of a right they do not have .
Wouldn ‘ t it be a form of injustice to offer the possibility of civil unions to opposite-sex couples and deny them to same-sex couples ?
No , because distributive justice — that is , the justice proper to those who hold a form of authority over their subjects — consists in giving everyone a good not in equal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to each .
Can you give some examples ?
An employer must give unequal compensation to those who work more and those who work less .
A teacher must give different grades to students with different merit .
A physician must provide assistance to his patients with uneven timeliness based on the severity of the disease .
Can you now apply these principles to the concrete case of civil unions ?
The state can not recognize the same treatment — in our case , the recognition analogous to family union — to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ union of people that brings an objective benefit to society in relation to the common good ) and to those who do not have it ( the union of two people of the same sex , which does not bring benefit to the common good ) .
But couldn ’ t unions between people of the same sex benefit society , through adoption , on a par with sterile heterosexual couples who adopt children ?
No , because this would violate the inalienable right of every child to be educated by his father @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this way , as experience teaches , the shameful practice of the rented uterus would be favored .
Why does the Church intervene in a matter that , as we have seen , is not of faith , but first of all of reason ?
The Church has the duty to propose to believe the whole divine revelation .
This includes not only substantially supernatural mysteries ( quoad substantiam ) — that is , such that man could neither desire them nor imagine them if God , precisely , does not reveal them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a supernatural way ( quoad modum ) truths that can also be known by reason alone .
Therefore , the Church also reaffirms the truths of reason , insofar as they are ordered to the salvation of man .
Why did God reveal — and therefore the Church proposes to believe — truths that can be known only by reason ?
Is n't all this a surplus ?
After original sin and because of it , as , sadly , experience teaches , people with great difficulty manage to know many truths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only by reason .
Then “ [ i ] t is due [ to ] divine Revelation if all that of divine things is not in itself absolutely inaccessible to human reason , even in the present condition of the human race can easily be known by all with certainty and without any danger of error ” ( Vatican I , Dei Filius ) .
In what conditions would then be placed him who would certainly consider the practice of homosexual genitality to be sinful , while considering the recognition of civil unions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He would place himself outside the Church , refusing to pay the respect of faith to truths proposed to believe in a binding way and with internal assent .
Tell us where and in what documents the Church has proposed to believe the illegality of de facto unions between people of the same sex .
• Civil law can not contradict right reason without losing its binding force on conscience ( cf .
John Paul II , Encyclical Evangelium vitae , 72 ) .
• “ Laws in favor of homosexual unions are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legal guarantees , analogous to those granted to marriage , to unions between persons of the same sex .
Given the values at stake in this question , the State could not grant legal standing to such unions without failing in its duty to promote and defend marriage as an institution essential to the common good ” ( Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , “ Considerations regarding proposals to give legal recognition to unions between homosexual persons , ” n. 6 ) .
• “ It might be asked how a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good if it does not impose any particular kind of behavior , but simply gives legal recognition to a de facto reality which does not seem to cause injustice to anyone .
In this area , one needs first to reflect on the difference between homosexual behavior as a private phenomenon and the same behavior as a relationship in society , foreseen and approved by the law , to the point where it becomes one of the institutions in the legal structure .
This second phenomenon is not only more serious , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influence , and would result in changes to the entire organization of society , contrary to the common good .
Civil laws are structuring principles of man ’ s life in society , for good or for ill .
They ‘ play a very important and sometimes decisive role in influencing patterns of thought and behavior ’ .
Lifestyles and the underlying presuppositions these express not only externally shape the life of society , but also tend to modify the younger generation ’ s perception and evaluation of forms of behavior .
Legal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basic moral values and cause a devaluation of the institution of marriage ” ( ibid. )
.
• “ Sexual relations are human when and insofar as they express and promote the mutual assistance of the sexes in marriage and are open to the transmission of new life.
” ( id.
, n. 7 ) • “ By putting homosexual unions on a legal plane analogous to that of marriage and the family , the State acts arbitrarily and in contradiction with its duties.
” ( id.
, n. 8 ) • “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ status of marriage to forms of cohabitation that are not and can not be marital is not opposed to justice ; on the contrary , justice requires it .
There are good reasons for holding that such unions are harmful to the proper development of human society , especially if their impact on society were to increase.
” ( ibid . )
• “ It would be gravely unjust to sacrifice the common good and just laws on the family in order to protect personal goods that can and must be guaranteed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of society ” ( id.
, n. 9 ) • There is always “ a danger that legislation which would make homosexuality a basis for entitlements could actually encourage a person with a homosexual orientation to declare his homosexuality or even to seek a partner in order to exploit the provisions of the law.
” ( Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , “ Some considerations concerning the response to legislative proposals on the non-discrimination of homosexual persons , ” July 24 , 1992 , n .
14 ) .
[ 1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ duty and task ?
Yes , Catholic politicians have a particular duty and task .
They have been well described and recommended by the Church : “ If it is true that all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions , Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way , in keeping with their responsibility as politicians .
Faced with legislative proposals in favour of homosexual unions , Catholic politicians are to take account of the following ethical indications .
When legislation in favour of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first time in a legislative assembly , the Catholic law-maker has a moral duty to express his opposition clearly and publicly and to vote against it .
To vote in favour of a law so harmful to the common good is gravely immoral .
“ When legislation in favour of the recognition of homosexual unions is already in force , the Catholic politician must oppose it in the ways that are possible for him and make his opposition known ; it is his duty to witness to the truth .
If it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law completely , the Catholic politician , recalling the indications contained in the Encyclical Letter Evangelium vitae , ‘ could licitly support proposals aimed at limiting the harm done by such a law and at lessening its negative consequences at the level of general opinion and public morality ’ , on condition that his ‘ absolute personal opposition ’ to such laws was clear and well known and that the danger of scandal was avoided ’ ( John Paul II , Encyclical Letter Evangelium vitae [ March 25 , 1995 ] , 73 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a more restrictive law in this area could be considered just or even acceptable ; rather , it is a question of the legitimate and dutiful attempt to obtain at least the partial repeal of an unjust law when its total abrogation is not possible at the moment ” ( Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , “ Considerations regarding proposals to give legal recognition to unions between homosexual persons , ” n. 10 ) .
What attitude should good Christians have toward people with homosexual orientation ?
Those who rightly oppose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unions between people of the same sex must comply , in relation to individuals , with what the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches , in particular in §2358 : “ The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible .
This inclination , which is objectively disordered , constitutes for most of them a trial .
They must be accepted with respect , compassion , and sensitivity .
Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided .
These persons are called to fulfill God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , if they are Christians , to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord ’ s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
” In any case , it must be clear that their “ suffering can only be intensified by error and lightened by truth ” ( Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , Letter to the bishops of the Catholic Church on the pastoral care of homosexuals , 01-10-1986 , §18 ) .

Such recognition of an objective evil is contrary not only to faith, but to right reason.
November 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Can civil unions of same-sex persons be considered the subject of rights by the state?
No.
Is this denial, so firm and decisive, “confessional” — that is, an undue interference of faith in the field of political life and the secular state?
Independent of whether or not faith can exercise its beneficial influence in the organization of society, the aforementioned denial does not depend only on faith, but is a conclusion that derives from the correct use of reason.
Can a Catholic consider the exercise of homosexual genitality a sin but be in favor of a merely civil recognition of de facto unions between people of the same sex?
No, because — as we have said — this recognition is contrary not only to faith, but to right reason.
So what is the argument of reason that proves the aforementioned recognition illegal?
The first and most important is the fact that these unions do not contribute to the common good of society — common good that society itself, organized by the state, must pursue.
Can you explain why?
The first common good that society must strive for is its maintenance in existence. A society maintains itself through generational change, which prevents its extinction. On these assumptions, a form of union, which constitutively cannot favor the permanence of society itself over time, cannot be considered as oriented toward the common good.

As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. "What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching. In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions. Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself." It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin. Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff. Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition." Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]." And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church." But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming. We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify remarks attributed to him in support of homosexual civil unions. FOR MORE INFORMATION: 'Cdl.

Can a union of persons of the same sex therefore claim recognition by society?
This union can claim nothing on the part of society, because it is not oriented toward the good of society itself; therefore, the state owes nothing to such unions. If the state intervened, it would go beyond its task, which is to organize society in view of the pursuit of its purpose, which is the common good.
If the state denies the recognition of civil unions, would it not claim moral competences, and therefore not its own?
No, because this denial derives not from moral presuppositions, but only from the judgment on civil unions with regard to the common good.
Wouldn’t people with homosexual orientation be deprived of all rights in this way?
No, because they maintain all the rights of individual human persons, and it is not possible for them to be proven of a right they do not have.
Wouldn‘t it be a form of injustice to offer the possibility of civil unions to opposite-sex couples and deny them to same-sex couples?
No, because distributive justice — that is, the justice proper to those who hold a form of authority over their subjects — consists in giving everyone a good not in equal parts, but according to what is due to each.
Can you give some examples?
An employer must give unequal compensation to those who work more and those who work less. A teacher must give different grades to students with different merit. A physician must provide assistance to his patients with uneven timeliness based on the severity of the disease.
Can you now apply these principles to the concrete case of civil unions?
The state cannot recognize the same treatment — in our case, the recognition analogous to family union — to those who have a right (the union of people that brings an objective benefit to society in relation to the common good) and to those who do not have it (the union of two people of the same sex, which does not bring benefit to the common good).
But couldn’t unions between people of the same sex benefit society, through adoption, on a par with sterile heterosexual couples who adopt children?
No, because this would violate the inalienable right of every child to be educated by his father and his mother. Furthermore, in this way, as experience teaches, the shameful practice of the rented uterus would be favored.
Why does the Church intervene in a matter that, as we have seen, is not of faith, but first of all of reason?
The Church has the duty to propose to believe the whole divine revelation. This includes not only substantially supernatural mysteries (quoad substantiam) — that is, such that man could neither desire them nor imagine them if God, precisely, does not reveal them. God himself also wanted to reveal in a supernatural way (quoad modum) truths that can also be known by reason alone. Therefore, the Church also reaffirms the truths of reason, insofar as they are ordered to the salvation of man.
Why did God reveal — and therefore the Church proposes to believe — truths that can be known only by reason? Isn't all this a surplus?
After original sin and because of it, as, sadly, experience teaches, people with great difficulty manage to know many truths, even though they can be reached only by reason. Then “[i]t is due [to] divine Revelation if all that of divine things is not in itself absolutely inaccessible to human reason, even in the present condition of the human race can easily be known by all with certainty and without any danger of error” (Vatican I, Dei Filius).
In what conditions would then be placed him who would certainly consider the practice of homosexual genitality to be sinful, while considering the recognition of civil unions by the state lawful and necessary?
He would place himself outside the Church, refusing to pay the respect of faith to truths proposed to believe in a binding way and with internal assent.
Tell us where and in what documents the Church has proposed to believe the illegality of de facto unions between people of the same sex.
Civil law cannot contradict right reason without losing its binding force on conscience (cf. John Paul II, Encyclical Evangelium vitae, 72).
“Laws in favor of homosexual unions are contrary to right reason because they confer legal guarantees, analogous to those granted to marriage, to unions between persons of the same sex. Given the values at stake in this question, the State could not grant legal standing to such unions without failing in its duty to promote and defend marriage as an institution essential to the common good” (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, “Considerations regarding proposals to give legal recognition to unions between homosexual persons,” n. 6).
“It might be asked how a law can be contrary to the common good if it does not impose any particular kind of behavior, but simply gives legal recognition to a de facto reality which does not seem to cause injustice to anyone. In this area, one needs first to reflect on the difference between homosexual behavior as a private phenomenon and the same behavior as a relationship in society, foreseen and approved by the law, to the point where it becomes one of the institutions in the legal structure. This second phenomenon is not only more serious, but also assumes a more far-reaching and profound influence, and would result in changes to the entire organization of society, contrary to the common good. Civil laws are structuring principles of man’s life in society, for good or for ill. They ‘play a very important and sometimes decisive role in influencing patterns of thought and behavior’. Lifestyles and the underlying presuppositions these express not only externally shape the life of society, but also tend to modify the younger generation’s perception and evaluation of forms of behavior. Legal recognition of homosexual unions would obscure certain basic moral values and cause a devaluation of the institution of marriage” (ibid.).
“Sexual relations are human when and insofar as they express and promote the mutual assistance of the sexes in marriage and are open to the transmission of new life.” (id., n. 7)
“By putting homosexual unions on a legal plane analogous to that of marriage and the family, the State acts arbitrarily and in contradiction with its duties.” (id., n. 8)
“The denial of the social and legal status of marriage to forms of cohabitation that are not and cannot be marital is not opposed to justice; on the contrary, justice requires it. There are good reasons for holding that such unions are harmful to the proper development of human society, especially if their impact on society were to increase.” (ibid.)
“It would be gravely unjust to sacrifice the common good and just laws on the family in order to protect personal goods that can and must be guaranteed in ways that do not harm the body of society” (id., n. 9)
There is always “a danger that legislation which would make homosexuality a basis for entitlements could actually encourage a person with a homosexual orientation to declare his homosexuality or even to seek a partner in order to exploit the provisions of the law.” (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, “Some considerations concerning the response to legislative proposals on the non-discrimination of homosexual persons,” July 24, 1992, n. 14).[1]
Do Catholic politicians have a particular duty and task?
Yes, Catholic politicians have a particular duty and task. They have been well described and recommended by the Church: “If it is true that all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians. Faced with legislative proposals in favour of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are to take account of the following ethical indications.
When legislation in favour of the recognition of homosexual unions is proposed for the first time in a legislative assembly, the Catholic law-maker has a moral duty to express his opposition clearly and publicly and to vote against it. To vote in favour of a law so harmful to the common good is gravely immoral.
“When legislation in favour of the recognition of homosexual unions is already in force, the Catholic politician must oppose it in the ways that are possible for him and make his opposition known; it is his duty to witness to the truth. If it is not possible to repeal such a law completely, the Catholic politician, recalling the indications contained in the Encyclical Letter Evangelium vitae, ‘could licitly support proposals aimed at limiting the harm done by such a law and at lessening its negative consequences at the level of general opinion and public morality’, on condition that his ‘absolute personal opposition’ to such laws was clear and well known and that the danger of scandal was avoided’ (John Paul II, Encyclical Letter Evangelium vitae [March 25, 1995], 73). This does not mean that a more restrictive law in this area could be considered just or even acceptable; rather, it is a question of the legitimate and dutiful attempt to obtain at least the partial repeal of an unjust law when its total abrogation is not possible at the moment” (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, “Considerations regarding proposals to give legal recognition to unions between homosexual persons,” n. 10).
What attitude should good Christians have toward people with homosexual orientation?
Those who rightly oppose the recognition by the state of civil unions between people of the same sex must comply, in relation to individuals, with what the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, in particular in §2358: “The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.”
In any case, it must be clear that their “suffering can only be intensified by error and lightened by truth” (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Letter to the bishops of the Catholic Church on the pastoral care of homosexuals, 01-10-1986, §18).
