Our Lady of Akita's message gets louder all the time
I don't know what's more amazing... the fact that the Cardinal of Vienna just defended his decision to allow a Marxist atheist "artist" to display blasphemous homo-erotic paintings depicting of Christ and His Apostles as participants in a queer orgy... or this from The Catholic News Service; (Emphasis mine)
San Francisco, Apr. 10, 2008 (CWNews.com) - At a Catholic Charities event scheduled for April 11, San Francisco's Archbishop George Niederauer will honor a California financier who has backed Planned Parenthood, opposed parental notification on abortion, and supported embryonic stem-cell research, the California Catholic Daily reports.
At an annual banquet, Archbishop Niederauer will present the "Loaves and Fishes" awards to several honorees, including George Marcus, a real-estate investment mogul who will be recognized for "outstanding philanthropic works" that, according to the dinner citation, "epitomize the spirit of the faith traditions of charity and generosity."
In a critical report on the award, the California Catholic Daily notes that Marcus has been a major financial backer of leftists causes, including opposition to the "Proposition 73" campaign, backed by the Catholic bishops of California, which would have required notification to the parents of underage girls before they obtained an abortion. Marcus also backed a referendum to provide taxpayer funding for embryonic stem-cell research, and he has been a significant donor to Planned Parenthood.
And plenty of Catholics just shrug their shoulders as if nothing is even wrong. To say that the smoke of satan has entered the sanctuary would be an understatement. In more than a few diocese, satan is running the show.
Do you know anything about the new San Fran auxillary bishop just named by the Pope? I think all his education has been in the San Fracisco diocese and he has maintained his assignments all this time there too. So, I'm looking for something that will make me feel a bit hopeful for the suffering Catholics there. I'm not finding anything.
ReplyDeleteIs that sound I hear the San Andreas Fault warming up so that California will soon fall into the sea?
ReplyDeleteCavey,
You left 1 thing off that list, a so-called Catholic governor of California who supports gay rights (among other things antithetical to Catholic teaching). & how many other so-called Catholic politicians to boot? But with Bishops like Mahony & Niederauer is it any wonder California is the cesspool that it is?
It's the left coast for a reason.
