1926 Mexico: Historically Accurate Movie Finally Reveals Early 20th Century Plot by Atheists, Agnostics, and Freemasons to Commit War Crimes, Ethnic Cleansing of Catholics, Mass Extermination, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity - all for Humanistic Secularism
"Anti-clerical elements were included in 1917 Mexican Constitution. Five elements in the Constitution were aimed at reducing the Catholic Church’s influence in Mexican domestic affairs.
Article 3 enforced secular education in Mexican schools. Monastic vows and institutes were outlawed in Article 5.
Article 24 prevented public worship outside the confines of the Church buildings.
According to article 27, "religious institutions were denied the right to acquire, hold, or administer real property."
Furthermore, all real estate held by religious institutions through third parties like hospitals, schools, was declared national property. Finally, in article 130, it declared all basic civil responsibilities like voting or commenting on public affairs was taken away from Church officials.
The Mexican government was extremely harsh in their attempt to eliminate the Catholic Church’s legal existence in Mexico. The stern premises of the 1917 Constitution contributed to the rise of resentment between the church and state."
" . . . Article 3 of the constitution required that education, in both public and private schools be completely secular and free of any religious instruction and prohibited religions from participating in education - essentially outlawing Catholic schools or even religious education in private schools. Article 3 likewise prohibited ministers or religious groups from aiding the poor, engaging in scientific research, and spreading their teachings. The constitution prohibited churches to own property and transferred all church property to the state - thus making all houses of worship state property.
"Article 130 of the constitution denied churches any kind of legal status and allowed local legislators to limit the number of ministers, (essentially giving the state the ability to ban religion) and banned any ministers not born in Mexico. It denied ministers freedom of association, the right to vote and freedom of speech, prohibiting them and religious publications from criticizing the law or government. The constitution prohibited any worship outside of a church building"

The author of "The Exorcist", William Peter Blatty called Sebelius invitation to speak in Georgetown "the last straw":
The author, William Peter Blatty, says the Jesuit-founded university in Washington has for the past two decades invited speakers who support abortion rights and has refused to comply with orders by the late Pope John Paul II for church-affiliated colleges and universities.The “last straw” was the university allowing students to invite Sebelius to speak May 18, considering she was instrumental in helping President Obama draft health care reform that includes a mandate for some religious institutions to offer insurance to cover employees’ birth-control costs, said Blatty, who attended Georgetown on a scholarship and graduated in 1950.

According to a Gallup poll released today:
“The 41% of Americans who now identify themselves as “pro-choice” is down from 47% last July and is one percentage point below the previous record low in Gallup trends, recorded in May 2009,”
As a result, pro-lifers now outnumber pro-choicers among this important swing political group for only the second time since 2001, with the first occurring in 2009.
Even Democrats, who support abortion, are trending in the pro-life direction, according to the survey.“Democrats’ views on abortion have changed the least over the past 12 years, with roughly 60% calling themselves pro-choice and about a third pro-life.
The polling firm also found just 20 percent of Americans believe all abortions should be legal — the position of President Barack Obama and Planned Parenthood.
According to CNS News,
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that her Catholic faith "compels" her to "be against discrimination of any kind" and thus for same-sex marriage.
"It’s a matter of time. It's all about time. And on these issues, what is inevitable to some of us is inconceivable to others," she said. "And what we want to do is shorten the difference between the inevitable and the inconceivable," she continued. "And I think the president went a long way in doing that yesterday."
While opposing "unjust discrimination" against homosexuals, the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that homosexual acts are "contrary to the natural law" and can never be approved and that marriage is the sacramental union of a man and a woman."Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered,'" says the Catechism. " They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved."
The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible," says the Catechism. " 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."
Homosexual persons are called to chastity," says the Catechism. "Sexuality is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman."
Pelosi: "it's all about time . . . " And with each generation morality is dissolved further until it becomes indiscernible to its former relatively moral self. "It's all about time" because Pelosi, aligned with the devil, together know that they must ruin the very thing that God created before He takes it back with the world's end. It's like hating somebody so much that when you break up with that person you give them back their possessions in shambles out of pure spite, hatred, and vengeance. Nancy Pelosi is either so psychotically defiant that she'll justify anything to support her twisted conscience or she knows exactly what she's doing and trying to bring the world down with her before God draws all time back to himself.
Dan Savage who was speaking about bullying goes into a rant against Christians and how intolerant of them we must all be. Yeah that makes sense. What in the world is an anti-bullying speaker doing taking stage to do the very thing he is there to decry? Answer, he doesn't believe in peace, he believes in intolerance while simultaneously preaching against intolerance. The classic wolf in sheep's clothing. Christ came to abolish slavery and institute a new covenant that did away with all those things that you chose to cherry pick out of the Old Testament and use as a cudgel against all Christians. He also warned us to watch for wolves in sheep's clothing. For video: here.
The article and video bring out these major points:
- Classical liturgical music has an "uplifting, energizing effect, it really moves people to prayer," he says. "Both Gregorian chant and polyphony highlight the texts of the liturgy. When you're listening to them, you meditate on the words and internalize their meaning."
- A large segment of Father Kramer's flock is people born decades after the Tridentine Mass ceased to be the norm. He says they are frequently drawn by the older liturgy's emphasis on the sacrificial dimension, which makes it "more obvious that Christ is pouring out his blood for the forgiveness of sins."
- Younger people also are "more sophisticated than they used to be, and they're looking for something at a higher level," Father Kramer says. "And I think that is connected with finding the great tradition and richness of the last 2,000 years."
- The Tridentine Mass is a link to the church's vast treasures of art, architecture, literature and music. "These are all things that we need to rediscover," Father Kramer says. "No other institution has anything like it."
- More specifically, he says, the liturgy offers an education in the faith itself. "The Latin of the old Mass helps the priest and the laity understand a lot more about the theology of the church right back to the third century, because a lot of the terminology is in Latin," Father Kramer says. "These are terms that are coming from the ancient world and that in the intervening centuries have accrued other (meanings) and have been enriched as they've gone along."
- Familiarity with the traditional liturgy can thus help the vast majority of Catholics who attend the ordinary form understand it better, Father Kramer says; and such exposure might also help priests who celebrate the newer liturgy to focus on its essential meaning.
- "In the old Mass the idea was that the personality of the priest should disappear and that the Mass would have an objective value," he says. "The new Mass could learn something from that principle ... that it's not about the priest, it's about Christ the priest and the priest acting in his stead."
- "The church can't have a council that contradicts previous councils. That just can't happen in Catholicism. One mustn't come to the documents with a hostility but rather with a mind that wants to see them as they relate to the general tradition."
