The Demon of Child Sacrifice & the Valley of Slaughter By Thomas J. Euteneuer

Abortion is fundamentally a business — a business based on a perverse concept of human rights. Abortion is a commodity cleverly marketed to women under the ideological rubric of “free choice” that draws in huge profits from the deaths of innocents. The abortion industry is a profit-driven, raw killing machine. The enormous amount of cash it generates is the “lifeblood” that perpetuates its existence.

The spiritual dimension of this grisly business, however, is its systematizing of ritual blood sacrifice to the god of child murder who, in the Old Testament, is called Moloch. This demon of child sacrifice appears in many forms and cultures throughout history — Phoenician, Carthaginian, Canaanite, Celtic, Indian, Aztec, and others — but it is always the same bloodthirsty beast that demands the killing of children as a form of worship.

The abortion industry is our modern-day Valley of Slaughter, where abortionists offer ritual blood sacrifice to that ancient demon of child murder. Their work is in every way the key ritual of a demonic religion. Yes, a religion: Abortion has an infallible dogma (“choice”), a ruling hierarchy (Planned Parenthood), theologians (feminist ideologues), a sacrificing priesthood (abortionists), temples (abortion mills), altars of sacrifice (surgical tables), ritual victims (babies and also women), acolytes and sacristans (clinic workers and technicians), guardian angels (police and death-scorts), congregations (leftist foundations and private supporters), and its own version of “grace” that makes everything work (money).

Social Issues ‘truce’ For GOP?

A political “truce on social issues” proposed by a possible 2012 presidential candidate, Indiana’s Republican Governor Mitch Daniels, has sparked immediate backlash from many conservatives, notably former GOP Oval Office-seeker, Mike Huckabee. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, has joined in criticism of the truce, a proposal he calls “astonishing” and a “surprising departure from [Daniels’] pro-family record.”

Daniels has actually established a long track record of pro-life work, signing into law in Indiana legislation that permits women to see an ultrasound of their unborn children prior to undergoing abortions, the establishment of an umbilical cord blood bank as an alternative source of stem cells to human embryos, stronger inspection requirements for abortion clinics, and a bill banning human cloning. His administration also approved a state “Choose Life” license plate that supports pro-life pregnancy crisis centers. To some, however, the sin of a truce on moral issues cannot be absolved by past deeds.

Obama Fails the Test of Office

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been treated to a precise and detailed preview of what the rest of the Obama presidency will be like: a sky black with chickens coming home to roost and blaming George W. Bush. The Deepwater Horizon disaster is a twofer: the worst environmental disaster on record matched with most incompetent response. And all on the watch of America’s greenest president. Who’d have ever guessed?

RELIGION

Three Birmingham Oratorians, Champions of the Unborn, Are Apparently Silenced – John Smeaton

The mysterious disappearance from Birmingham Oratory of three Oratorians who have been publicly opposing an interpretation of Newman as the patron of ‘conscientious’ dissent; and three Oratorians who have publicly opposed the sex and relationships education policies of the last Government and of the Catholic bishops’ conference of England and Wales.

I understand it was these three Oratorians who also set out so eloquently the case against the Catholic Education Service’s support (and, one might add, Bishop McMahon’s support and Archbishop Vincent Nichols’s support) for the Labour government’s plans to make sex and relationships education compulsory in all State schools in England between the ages of five and sixteen.

The scandal of the Catholic bishops’ betrayal of Catholic families in the matter of sex and relationships education – and in particular the access being facilitated for children in schools to abortion and birth control services, without parental knowledge or consent – is very great indeed.

How Serious is the ‘Predator Priest’ Problem? By Philip Jenkins

It’s easy to forget that we have not the slightest idea how serious the abuse problem is among Catholic priests as opposed to other professionals dealing with children. No reputable scholar has ever conducted a survey of the abuse problem as it affects any other profession, in a way that would allow us to make direct comparisons with the Catholic clergy.

What is different about the Catholic Church is the manner in which its problems have come to light, and this involves both the nature of the institution itself and the workings of the law. As a result, the church is much more open to civil litigation than any other institution.

Was Dennis Hopper’s “Easy Rider” a Catholic film?

Dennis Hopper’s character defines freedom as the ability to do whatever you want. The characters indulge in a lot of strange drugs. And like other counter-cultural movies of the era, the two protagonists — spoiler alert – are killed at the end. Is the movie nothing but a celebration of hippies, drugs, and unconstrained liberty?

10,000 Throng to Stop Ground Zero Mosque

Group vows to sue federal government: ‘3,000 good Americans didn’t die in vain’. As many as 10,000 protesters from across the country – including family members who lost loved ones on Sept. 11, 2001 – took to the streets in New York City Sunday to fight construction of a 13-story Islamic mosque to be built just steps from Ground Zero where Muslim terrorists murdered 2,751 people in the name of Allah.

Funeral of Turkish Bishop: Brutal Beheading. Muslim Confesses ‘I killed the great Satan!’

The Bishop was stabbed in the house and then beheaded outside. He cried for help before he died. The murderer shouted “Allah Akbar!”.

This correlates with the murders of ultranationalist groups and Islamic fundamentalists who apparently want to eliminate Christians from Turkey.

Medical paper reveals uncomfortable facts about transgender “sex re-assignment surgery”

From medical, psychological, and ethical perspectives. This is a very frightening subject. The mental health profession recognizes “gender identity disorder” as a psychological affliction — not an inborn biological condition. But many in the field are afraid to research it or even discuss for fear of retribution from the powerful homosexual movement.
