Rocking their way to Hell

There is a punk rock band in Vancouver desecrating all things holy by putting out a very blasphemous album. If you click on this link, I guarantee the news story will repulse you. I only read a portion of it, then I immediately prayed the Golden Arrow Prayer, which was given to us by Jesus Himself to make reparation for blashpemies such as this. And guess what? They received funding from the government of Canada to produce this garbage.

THE "GOLDEN ARROW" PRAYER

MAY the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

There is much more information on this devotion here.

Knock, knock, beware

Can you imagine answering your door and being assaulted by a psychotic person who stabs your neck with a pen, beats your head in and then drinks your blood? That's exactly what happened to Bishop Monroe of Kamloops, as he answered the rectory door on Friday evening. I know Kamloops well; my dad and my brother live there, and we go to Mass at the Cathedral every time we are visiting Kamloops. It is inconceivable that this could happen - priests answer the door for every person in need, and turn no one away. The priest who came to the Bishop's aid separated his right shoulder in the ensuing scuffle, and was quoted on the news as saying that right now, they are praying for forgiveness as well as the Bishop's recovery.

This whole story is so bizarre; one would never expect it to happen in one of your own Catholic neighbourhoods. Let's all pray for Bishop Monroe's recovery, as well as for the psychotic man who assaulted him.

The Deception behind Twilight

These well-spoken words are not mine; they are taken from Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President of Human Life International. His logic is right on when it comes to the widly popular Twilight series:


Vampire Logic

With the issuing of the third movie in the Twilight series I have to speak out about our culture's twisted fascination with vampires. I don't hesitate to tell people that I am totally disgusted with the new fad sweeping over our youth culture these days. It is not just kids that are taken up with the wiles of the dark world either: many moms of teens are swooning for them too. I think that these seductive creatures are simply the spawn of the Harry Potter culture that has for over a decade now been indoctrinating kids to think that the occult world is normal and that all this evil messaging is harmless when dressed up as entertainment. That's vampire logic - and just what the devil wants us to think.

Gone are the days of Bella Lugosi's Dracula (1931) where good was good and evil was evil. A crucifix would drive Dracula away and then he had to go into his infernal coffin when the first streaks of dawn appeared. He was in every way presented as a creature of evil, dark of heart and dread to encounter. He drank human blood too, a feature that was supposed to strike terror in every person who valued his life's essence. The image of a blood-sucking creature who lives in slime and darkness and will pounce on you to drain out your very essence should terrorize every decent person. This is because vampires used to be images of demons. That's what demons are all about: the vanquishing of all human decency and life. They represent the spiritual vortexes of the demon world that drag down to the depths of hell all who fall prey to their wiles.

But, my, how vampires have come up in the world these days.

Nowadays vampires are divided into good and bad - no longer intrinsically evil. The good ones rescue vulnerable women instead of biting them and, allegedly, drink only animal blood (well, we haven't seen the last Twilight movie yet...). And crucifixes? Don't think you'll see any of those driving away bad guys in these movies. The heroes are the "good" vampires, not the Church or religious faith in Christ.

These super-star vampires also walk around in sunlight and, as a matter of fact, their skin just happens to glisten like diamonds when exposed to direct sunlight. Isn't that wonderful? The glam vamps are gentlemen, chaste and well-intentioned, yet they are always hovering around the edge of "falling" and in seductive situations which cause young people to think that they are capable, like their hero vampire, Edward Cullen, of going just so far and pulling back, out of self-control. That's teaching them to play with fire, not a real chastity message for kids.

The worst part of this fascination with vampires from a faith point of view, however, is its blasphemy of the Eucharist. "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you," said our Blessed Lord in Chapter 6 of John's Gospel. He is the One who offers His flesh and blood for the life of the world. The vampires eat (bite) the flesh and drink the blood of victims rather than give their own to redeem others. Their bites corrupt and transform their victims into vampires like themselves. They have no life in them. They are the "living dead" by their own estimate.

How sad that this generation has been so taken in by those who represent the very antithesis of the core reality of our Faith - the Eucharist. Vampire logic is anti-Eucharistic logic, and it's very dangerous for our kids. In their obsessive fascination with such darkness, kids (and adults) turn their backs on the One who actually died for them.

To those who say, "Oh, Father, it's only harmless entertainment," I say simply: You've been warned.

Gaga gag!

I doubt that when these poor souls donated their bodies to science, they ever dreamed their dead bodies would be on display at the feet of Lady Gaga as she romps around the stage in her underwear. That woman disgusts me just about as much as "Madonna" does. 'Nuff said.

You Tube Reposts Desecration Videos

What's with You Tube? They pulled the Eucharistic desecration videos after over 18,000 peope worldwide petitioned them in a complaint, and now the videos are back up. You can go to their site and flag every video as offensive by clicking on them individually, and citing them as hate material. I did just that – (I paused the videos so I wouldn’t have to be exposed to their vile content). It is a bit time consuming, but I copied the text of the letter below into the space provided for comments.

Please read the new petition letter written by America Needs Fatima below, and go to their link to sign it.

To YouTube:

18,201 people have respectfully petitioned you to remove the offensive videos showing the Holy Eucharist being desecrated posted on YouTube by user fsmdude, (even flushing one down a toilet).

These videos not only seem to violate YouTube hate policies, but should not be posted as they are offensive to God and demeaning to Catholics and the Roman Catholic faith.
Moreover, your pulling the videos on October 1, then reposting them seems to signal that you agree with these videos’ deep anti-Catholic bias. After all, it seems you have pulled videos with content offensive to Jews and Muslims.

It seems you removed a video showing the desecration of a Holocaust memorial and a trailer to a Dutch documentary that claims Islam inspires murder and terror.
But Catholic bashing seems to be acceptable.

I therefore vehemently protest your decision to give a platform for anti-Catholic bigotry. I will urge my friends and family to protest YouTube for as long as it takes, until you change this decision, and no longer facilitate blasphemous postings.

Eucharistic Desecration Videos

If you haven't already seen and signed the petition to have You Tube remove forty videos of a guy desecrating Hosts, you can find the link here. I guess there is no way to tell if the Hosts are actually consecrated, but the videos are horrible to watch. I saw one today and couldn't even get through it, and definitely could not watch a second one. Here is the link to the videos. I just read the creep's profile, and I see he is from Canada. Figures. So much for Communion in the hand.

Mommy Dearest

From my email - It's hard to believe this is for real. Brace yourself - Aliza Shvarts, an art major at Yale University impregnated herself multiple times using artificial insemination from willing donors so that she could abort the babies and film the process for a controversial "art" project. The student claims she was not concerned about any medical effects the multiple self-induced abortions would have on her body. I wonder if she is concerned about her soul?

"I believe strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity," Shvarts said. "I think that I'm creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be."

The display of Schvarts' project will feature a large cube suspended from the ceiling of a room in the gallery of Green Hall. Schvarts will wrap hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting around this cube; lined between layers of the sheeting will be the blood from Schvarts' self-induced miscarriages mixed with Vaseline in order to prevent the blood from drying and to extend the blood throughout the plastic sheeting. Schvarts will then project recorded videos onto the four sides of the cube.

These videos, captured on a VHS camcorder, will show her experiencing miscarriages in her bathrooom tub, she said. Similar videos will be projected onto the walls of the room.

School of Art lecturer Pia Lindman, Schvarts' senior-project advisor, could not be reached for comment Wednesday night. Read the whole story here.

It's hard to believe that anyone can consider this art. Satan will be dancing gleefully along with his hordes of demons at this exhibit.
