The Protest of Commencement Speaker Victoria Kennedy at BC Law School

Boston's Operation Rescue and Catholic Action League joined to protest the violation of Church teaching on the selection of Victoria Kennedy as this year's commencement speaker for B.C. Law school.

Some great pictures HERE, and C.J. Doyle's articulate press release is below.

Brace yourself because you haven't heard anything yet.

BC's spokesperson Jack Dunn and the Cardinal's spokesperson Terry Donilon had this to say when approached by the press:

Terrence Donilon, spokesman for Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, the archbishop of Boston, declined to comment on BC’s decision to have Kennedy speak at the graduation.

Both Donilon and Dunn said such decisions should be guided by a statement the US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued in 2004 called “Catholics in Political Life.” That statement says in part that: "Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.

B.C. Law's spokesperson cites the guidance of the document they violate and the Cardinal's spokesperson cites the document the Cardinal fails to enforce.

How's that for a kick in the head.

Where does the Cardinal draw the line?

Would he intervene if the Kennedys supported and in fact legislated the legality and freedom to choose pedophilia as a personal moral choice?

What is it about murdering children that the Cardinal, Jack Dunn and Terry Donilon not get?

The fact that they would cite Catholics in Political Life to affirm Mrs. Kennedy's selection is outrageous.

Mrs. Kennedy is a gracious, kind and loving woman but she has been grossly misled about the Catholic religion. Catholics vehemently oppose severing the spinal cords of children or ripping their body apart with a vacuum until to bring an end to their life. Catholics do not tolerate the murder of another human being as a personal freedom and choice.


CATHOLIC ACTION LEAGUE CRITICIZES BC LAW
FOR PRESENTING VICTORIA KENNEDY
AS COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER


The Catholic Action League of Massachusetts today criticized Jesuit administered Boston College Law School for featuring Victoria Kennedy as the principal speaker at yesterday's commencement ceremonies. Mrs. Kennedy is a proponent of legal abortion, contraception, and same gender marriage.

In her remarks to graduates, Kennedy said lawyers must keep fighting for equal rights, civil rights, and human rights "for all of God's children." In a May 23rd, 2004 Washington Post op-ed piece however, entitled "The Altar Is Not a Battlefield," Kennedy described abortion as "a private moral decision,"while castigating capital punishment as the taking of a life. Kennedy argued that those who advocate that Canon Law be enforced and Holy Communion withheld from pro-abortion Catholic politicians are motivated by "political ideology,"and their position is "flawed and intellectually dishonest." Mrs. Kennedy is also a director of the pro-abortion front group, Catholic Democrats, which supports Roe v. Wade.

The Catholic Action League characterized Kennedy's role as keynote speaker as "yet another disgraceful betrayal of Catholic morality, the pro-life movement, and the innocent unborn by Boston College and the Society of Jesus."

Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle stated: "Victoria Kennedy's showcased role in the commencement ceremonies of Boston College Law School clearly contravenes the 2004 statement by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholics in Political Life, which states 'The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.' "

"The message BC Law is sending to future attorneys, legislators, judges, and public policy makers is one of indifference and infidelity to Catholic moral teaching about the sanctity of innocent human life from conception to natural death. The school is effectively telling its graduates that power, success, affluence, and celebrity are higher values than obedience to the laws of God and loyalty to the Catholic Faith.
Kennedy's presence also conveys the impression that support for the mass killing of pre-born human beings is a respectable position within the Catholic community."

"No rational person can reasonably be expected to take Catholic opposition to abortion seriously when a prominent Catholic institution spotlights a pro-abortion celebrity in an archdiocese presided over by the Chairman-Elect of the USCCB's Committee on Pro-Life Activities. Sadly, that archbishop, unlike his suffragan in Worcester, has remained silent on this issue. Faithful, pro-life Catholics should not be constantly forced to fight a two front war, against a culture of death in secular society, and against a culture of betrayal in their own church."

On Friday, May 25th, members of Operation Rescue Boston and the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts picketed the Boston College Law School Commencement. Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle is an alumnus of Boston College.

Martin Bashir is Quite the Malicious Bigot

When you feel like watching a remarkable witness to anti-Catholicism, check out this malicious piece by MSNBC's Martin Bashir.

Bashir got worked up because Cardinal Dolan is starting to speak openly and sensibly about the ramifications of Barack Hussein's mandate:

if these mandates click in, we're going to find ourselves faced with a terribly difficult decision as to whether or not we can continue to operate. as part of our religion, it's part of our faith that we feed the hungry, that we educate the kids, that we take care of the sick. we'd have to give it up because we're unable to fit the description and the definition of a church given by, guess who? the federal government .



I'm not sure which I find more amazing: How malicious these reporters are, or how stupid my own gender has become.

This poor lamb couldn't possibly believe that women employed by Catholic Hospitals who want to use birth control 'don't have access to it', could she?

Who does she think would be paying for the pills and abortions if not everyone in the building paying the insurance premiums?

Does she think Barack Hussein is paying for it out or pocket?

The insurance companies are going to to pay for the manufacturing and distribution of the pills?

The drug companies will manufacture and distribute the pills for free?

The stupidity astounds me. It really does.

Catholic employers don't pay for their booze and cigarettes either. But, here's a news flash: If women want to get drunk and inhale cancer into their lungs, they have access to it.

They cash their paycheck, take the money to the stores where they are sold. If they want contraception or want to kill their own children, they are perfectly free to do so.

If it was free, the government would be subsidizing the provider directly.

Catholics don't "offer" people with things that are harmful. Our actions and inactions are contemplated and discerned against our Credo. That's exactly what we can never do. If the government tells us to kill and harm other people, sick people,elderly people, poor pregnant women, uncatechized women and homosexuals, etc., we are the people who won't do it.

We are here to remind you that out of love, we have built an empire of institutions to educate and serve all who inhabit God's earth. We feed the poor, heal the sick, educate, employed - without making any judgments on ethnicity, color, creed.


The money the government was giving us was earmarked to help feed the poor, heal the sick.

Now, you want to force us to offer, provide and pay for tools of lust, licentiousness and murder.

When it comes to being forced to offend God and rob the people we serve of their salvation so we can feed the hungry and put a bandaid on their booboos, we are not going to hell for you.

Go bleep yourselves. That's where we are with it.


Hand out the pink slips. Shut it down. Don't give it to them, sell it to them, let them take it over. Get the hammer and nails and board it up.

Frankly, I am not convinced we need to shut it completely down.

Why not give pink slips to non-Catholic employees, replace them with Catholic employees and 100% employ, serve and educate Catholics?

If we don't hire people, admit people to our schools and hospitals and missions, who are offended by the teachings, mission and objectives of the Catholic Church, we won't have to silence. Catholics will be educated about their own religion.

Catholics could enroll their children in schools, go to hospitals, etc., where every piece of advice they get would be consistent with the salvation of their (or their children's) soul. Or for that matter, their neighbor's soul.

Every Catholic who accepts a position under the employ of a Catholic institution or corporation/business, would be accepting it with the caveat that Catholics have the freedom to operate their business in accordance with Divine and salvific laws and if they don't like it, they ought not to let the door hit them on the backsides on the way out.

The government would be in no position to implore us to do something physically and/or spiritually harmful to another human being. If the democrats keep control of the White House in 2012, the demoralization of women and homosexuals, the denial of healthcare and killings of the sick, imperfect, the elderly and the persecution of the Church is going to ramp up.


Filling up our apostolates and initiatives with people who want our services but silence our primary mission, evangelization and salvation, this clearly has been detrimental to educating the benefactors of Christ's inheritance.

Let us build an ark. A shining city on the hill.

As the craziness of Barack Hussein's communist agenda gets fully implemented, the more people will realize what is happening to them.

If we build it, they will come.

Vatican in Chaos After Butler's Arrest..

You read that right. Here's the headline HERE.

Right. LOL.

Listen, this man was beloved. I'm sure hearts are heavy. But an Institution where our leaders have been seized, crucified, beheaded, burned at the stake, fried alive - having a butler arrested comes nowhere near rising to the level of chaos.

Let us pray for this man and all concerned. We don't have the facts. Maybe we never will. But, if it turns out he was leaking Bertone's fiefdom of corruption, he has done us all - and Christ - a ginormous favor.

Friday, May 25, 2012

It was the butler in the pantry...

...with the scanner and an i pad.

I pray that in some way Cardinal Vigano feels that his courageous contributions bore some fruit in the firing of the Vatican bank president.

I am not, however, particularly edified with this remark:

In response to the leaks, Pope Benedict appointed Spanish Cardinal Julian Herranz to head a commission of three cardinals to investigate their source.

Thursday night, Herranz told the Catholic News Agency the leaks were "confusing souls and also giving the Church and the Holy See a completely unfair image."


No. Actually. What is 'confusing souls' is that ten years of thousands of faithful Catholics sending letters documenting corruption and asking them to do something about it is an exercise in futility.

If they are trying to project an image that the Holy See takes action on corruption that doesn't rise to the level of whistleblowing in the public square, litigation and bad press, decades worth of good faith attempts bear little evidence. I am sorry to say.

Cranks in the Ranks of the Bishops

The National Catholic Reporter is right on a breaking story that there's cracks in the ranks of the bishops.

Bishop Blaire of Stockton California is reporting that the bishops he contacted have concerns about the current stratagem of religious freedom. And, they knew just who to drop the dime to: The heretical rag America Magazine.

Coincidence? I think not!

I love it when these folks caricature themselves as non-political and bipartisan and with the same breath use the political adjective 'very far to the right' and 'anti-Obama' to caricature faithful Catholics, who, you know, will have to shut down their businesses rather than perform an evil upon uncatechized or distraught employees.

Anyway, much ado about nothing. Blaire's blither really isn't all that controversial. He affirms that even the crowd of hooligans he runs with very strongly support whatever action needs to be taken to subvert Obama's intrusion of government into the Church.

Is that the best they could tee up?

Color me unimpressed.

This man could earn a lesson from Cardinal O'Malley on what to do when the communists are banging down the door to seize the Catholic Church: Grab a lawnmower and run like hell.

If You are Looking for Cardinal O'Malley, He is Out Cutting Grass

By the way, with faithful and concerned Catholics filing litigation to see if we can circumvent the totalitarian government of Fr. Bryan Hehir in their attempts to thwart us from practicing our religion while serving mankind, trying to defend life and liberty after death threats at a parish in Acushnet for teaching our own religion on our own property (more on this later), Victoria Kennedy speaking at the commencement ceremony at BC Law, if you are looking for the Chairman of the USCCB Prolife Committee, Cardinal O'Malley, he is out cutting the grass in Mattapan.

That is all.

Where's Waldo hat tip to Joe D.

Catholics Suing Obama

Hard to believe it has come to this, but here we are.

Very pleasant surprise to see Notre Dame has joined the lawsuit.

Disgustingly, Cardinal O'Malley's name is not among the shepherds who are protecting the freedom of their flock to practice our religion.

The Archdiocese of Boston did not join the effort, although it supports the legal challenges. “There is no need for every single diocese or other Catholic organization to sue,’’ Terrence Donilon, archdiocese spokesman, said in a statement. “The various plaintiffs reflect a broad cross-section of Catholic institutions, and together they represent the wide variety of issues, impacts, economic consequences, and divergent facts that exist among Catholic organizations nationwide.’’


So if every single Catholic diocese sued Obama, that wouldn't have a devastating impact.

Is Terry Donilon that dumb?

You know what makes this particularly disturbing?

I recently discovered that at least one high-ranking Boston Archdiocesan official is leveraging the assisted suicide bill to fundraise for the Archdiocese.

Ergo, they can work to elect the communists, help institute tyranny and totalitarianism, collaborate with them and publicly honor them, enter into contracts with them that compels them to hire killers and give a free ride the victims to the facility where they will be killed - refuse to defend religious freedom, then they use the evil and chaos they help institute and support to approach prolifers and ask them for money to fight against their own march towards death.

Give us a break.

Why would Boston have to fight it anyway? Vermont just fought it.

There is no need for every single diocese or other Catholic organization to fight it, is there? The plaintiffs in Vermont reflect a broad cross-section of Catholic institutions, and together they represent the wide variety of issues, impacts, economic consequences, and divergent facts that exist among Catholic organizations nationwide.

How's that for duplicity?

One wonders why they are suddenly so concerned about killing off weak and sick people. They have spent their lives getting this agenda into place.

But I digress.

I love this quote from beezabul's headquarters:

White House spokesman Jay Carney said in February that Obama takes objectors' concerns "very seriously" and is "very aware of and engaged in this issue."

"We are very sensitive and understand some of the concerns that have been expressed," Carney told reporters.



The concerns are duly noted and they are very aware and very serious and very sensitive. Warms the cockles of your heart doesn't it.


"We're not trying to win an argument here. ... We're trying to implement a policy that will affect millions of women."


Get it?

Millions of women employed by the Catholic Church and Catholic businesses are sleeping around with men so destitute that neither one of them can scrape up ten dollars to purchase contraception. There simply must be a way to get these women contraception.

I doubt it, but even if it were true, Catholics who employ these women have the constitutional right to teach them how to distinguish an immoral jerk who sees children as a punishment for sex and will never have the ambition to do what it takes to provide a roof over her head - from a man who will bring her joy, happiness and the provisions families need for physical and spiritual survival.

If the government wants to subvert our messages and provide women with free contraception, they are free to do so.

Forcing the Catholic Church to pay for abortifacients would be overtly unconstitutional, so Obama IS claiming the contraception will be free. Correct?

Then nothing is stopping them from handing out free contraceptives right at the pharmacy. I don't think anyone in the Catholic Church could have any objection to that plan. We would be free to catechize and witness. They are free to subvert the message and hand out free contraception. Pass them out at Whole Foods and Starbucks. Pass them out on the Commuter rail. If women are stupid enough to buy into pumping her body full of estrogens to sleep around with destitute and immoral men, Catholics won't stop it.

We can, and by gum will, advise women about what the government is doing to them physically, intellectually and spiritually. Rational and courageous Catholics will not collaborate, pay for or hire a subcontractor to provide any of these services. It is against our religion. By doing so, not only would we be doing a terrible disservice to uncatechized women, the government would be forcing us to take an action that is contrary to our own salvation. These actions are against our constitutional rights.

The intellectual dishonesty is really creepy.

The number of people who enjoin in this lawsuit should increase by thousands of parties. There should be a very public and ugly donnybrook. Preparation should begin to shut down Catholic Charities and missions and our hospitals.

Handing our employees over to be sexually exploited by the culture the Obama administration is ushering in, that is not an option.

Stand up and fight.

Our Friends at BCI Take a (Painful) Look at the NeoCats

This is brutal.

Can you imagine the Apostles whipping out the banjos and creating a distraction with hoopla during Christ's Passion and Execution by Crucifixion?

Do they know what's happening there? Is it not enough for them? Christ's death and Resurrection so boring to them they must break out one hundred guitars, tambourines and sing like the banshees?

I am not a prude nor a stick in the mud. I can tolerate and even enjoy respectful worship and praise during a Liturgy.

This isn't even close to respectful treatment of the intimate moments at Gethsemene and Golgotha.

They have run amok.

Why can't they let Christ be the central focus of the Holy Sacrifice?

God help us.
