“IN response to being named on the Diocese of Scranton’s Credibly Accused Individuals List, Monsignor Joseph P. Kelly released the following statement, which is printed in its entirety:

“Bishop Bambera has decided that I have been ‘credibly accused’ of the sexual abuse of minors, and
has removed me from ministry.

“It is true that some priests of the Diocese did abuse minors, which is both a sin and a crime. I am not one of them.

“I deny the allegations that I abused anyone, and I especially deny that I abused any of the children under my care while I was Director of St. Michael’s School for Boys. Read More »

FROM What Makes you Really Ill (I offer this as food for thought not medical advice):

The vast majority of people around the world believe that the healthcare system promoted by the agencies responsible for public health, especially the WHO, is firmly based on ‘sound science’. This system, known as ‘modern medicine’, is perceived to represent an ‘elite’ branch of science, which suggests that any other approach to healthcare and healing must be pseudoscience or quackery. This elitist attitude is inculcated into medical students during their training, as experienced by Dr Carolyn Dean, who explains in her book entitled Death by Modern Medicine that,

“In fact, we were told many times that if we didn’t learn it in medical school it must be quackery.”

In his book entitled Confessions of a Medical Heretic, Dr Robert Mendelsohn MD indicates that belief in medical ‘authority’ is misplaced. He expands on his discussion of the problems with ‘modern medicine’ by reference to similarities between beliefs, religion and ‘modern medicine’. He describes the medical establishment as ‘the church of modern medicine’ and justifies this description with the statement that,

“Modern medicine can’t survive without our faith, because modern medicine is neither an art nor a science; it’s a religion…Just ask ‘why’ enough times and sooner or later you’ll reach the chasm of faith.”

CANDLEMAS
— John Henry Newman (1859)

The angel-lights of Christmas morn,
Which shot across the sky,
Away they pass at Candlemas,
They sparkle and they die.

Comfort of earth is brief at best,
Although it be divine;
Like funeral lights for Christmas gone,
Old Simeon’s tapers shine.

And then for eight long weeks and more,
We wait in twilight grey,
Till the High Candle sheds a beam
On Holy Saturday.

We wait along the penance-tide
Of solemn fast and prayer,
Whilst song is hushed, and lights grow dim
In the sin-laden air.

And while the sword in Mary’s soul
Is driven home, we hide
In our own hearts, and count the wounds
Of passion and of pride.

And still, though Candlemas be spent,
And alleluias o’er,
Mary is music in our need,
And Jesus light in store.

I agree completely, that COVID is a kind of religion with just about everybody I know. It’s the only way that I can explain the way most people here accept the Corona narrative so docilely and unquestioningly.  When I share some information, like what is in your post, I inevitably get this reaction: “I haven’t seen that on the news.”  Well, of course not!!!  How can it be, when the vast majority of Americans have computers and/or smart phones, that they watch ONLY the corporate media.  They don’t seem to do any independent research.  I tell people about The Thinking Housewife, Paul Craig Roberts, Ron Paul, but no one bothers taking my suggestion and reading those websites.

“[C]HRISTINE Massey, a Canadian former biostatistician in the field of cancer research, and a colleague of hers in New Zealand, Michael Speth, as well as several individuals around the world (most of whom prefer to remain anonymous) have submitted Freedom of Information requests to dozens of health and science institutions and a handful of political offices around the world.

“They are seeking any records that describe the isolation of a SARS-COV-2 virus from any unadulterated sample taken from a diseased patient.

“But all 46 responding institutions/offices utterly failed to provide or cite any record describing “SARS-COV-2” isolation; and Germany’s Ministry of Health ignored their FOI request altogether.

“The German entrepreneur Samuel Eckert asked health authorities from various cities such as München (Munich), Dusseldorf and Zurich for a study proving complete isolation and purification of so-called SARS-CoV-2. He has not obtained it yet.”

— “Phantom Virus: In search of Sars-CoV-2,” Torsten Engelbrecht, Dr Stefano Scoglio & Konstantin Demeter

NOTE: To say the virus has not been isolated and proven to exist as a distinct disease is not to say that it does not exist or that people are not getting sick or that serious conditions did not emerge last year. (See more on that issue here, here, here and here. See also this article about the PCR test.) It does mean that the certainty that characterizes the general reporting about it and the government reactions is not warranted.

None of this information will have the slightest impact on most Americans. They have discarded any desire to research for information. COVID is a religion, not a scientifically verified distinct disease. It is based on dogmatic beliefs, not on science. This religion is spread by religious authorities in the form of experts, bureaucrats and journalists. Every time believers learn of anyone with a flu, cough or serious respiratory illness, their belief in this religious cult is confirmed.

And even if the virus is at some point isolated according to scientific standards and even if COVID is a distinct respiratory condition, it does not meet any reasonable definition of a pandemic and does not justify the medical tyranny we face.

 

PROTESTORS in L.A. try to alert those arriving for COVID injections that the “vaccine” is an experimental drug.

“SO true is it that nothing can make a salutary impression on a heart which is obstinately bent on fixing all its happiness in the things of this present life; and though it is forced, each day, to own that they are vain, yet each day it returns to them, vainly but determinedly loving them.

“The heart, on the contrary, that puts its trust in God, and mans itself to energy by the thought of the divine assistance being abundantly given to him that asks it, will not flag or faint in the race, and will win the heavenly prize. God’s eye is unceasingly on all them that toil and suffer.”

Septuagesima Sunday, January 31, 2021
The Straight and Narrow Path (Mt.7:14)***
by Anonymous

How does one survive as a Christian in a society that is in a state of advanced moral and spiritual decay?  The season of Septuagesima, which we begin today in preparation for Lent, says to us, “Get sober!  It’s time to ‘think upon these things’ with St. Paul.  It’s time to abandon the broad road that leads to destruction and find the narrow way that leads to life.”

Faith in Jesus Christ, the “door of the sheep,” is the absolute and necessary beginning of salvation. The “narrow way” begins with Jesus Christ, Who is the door by which we must enter: “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.  All whoever have come are thieves and robbers; but the sheep have not heard them.  I am the door.  If anyone enter by me he shall be safe, and shall go in and out, and shall find pastures” (Jn.10:7-9).

But rebellion against God is the rule today, and men risk perishing “at the hands of the destroyer” (1 Cor. 10:10). Read More »

FROM another compelling piece by Jon Rappoport:

Since the beginning of this false pandemic, I’ve been offering compelling evidence that no one has proved SARS-CoV-2 exists.

Then people ask, “So why are all these people dying?”

I have explained that, many times, and in this article I’ll explain it again.

First of all, the whole notion that COVID-19 is one health condition is a lie. COVID IS NOT ONE THING.

This is both the hardest and simplest point to accept and understand.

Don’t reject the existence of the virus and then say, “So what is THE cause of people dying?” There is no ONE CAUSE. There is no one illness. There is no “it.”

It appears, among other things, medical mistreatment has been rampant over the past year, especially with the use of ventilators, high doses of immune-suppressant drugs and infectious disease protocols that make it extremely difficult for hospitals and nursing homes to provide normal care.

TO QUESTION whether COVID-19 has been isolated in a lab and scientifically proven to be the cause of a highly contagious disease that is ravaging the globe is not to say that people are not getting sick or that we should not take seriously the cause, or causes, of their illnesses. People are getting sick and we should take the cause of their illnesses very seriously.

But we need science to understand what is happening.

Did you know that for over 100 years scurvy was thought to be a contagious illness? It was later proven to be the result of poor nutrition.

This compelling discussion between Dr. Thomas Cowan and Dr. Andrew Kauffman focuses on the science — or rather the lack of science — behind COVID. We deserve answers to, and open discussion of, the serious questions they raise.

Evening Snow at Kanbara (Metropolitan Museum of Art)

“GOD hath given to thee a very noble heart, made only to love Him, and, by His love, to be melted and consumed. Through love of Him thou shalt readily accomplish whatsoever thou wilt; and any difficulty shall be soon overcome through desire of virtue; whereas, if by thy own forces, thou attempt anything, thou wilt effect nothing. Let the intention of thy heart be well grounded, in such sort that thy outward working do spring from within.

“And though penance and penal exercises be praiseworthy, when moderated with a discretion answerable to the condition of the persons by whom they are wrought, yet very often the best part of them do evaporate into vain complaisance, without any profit, and the toil is all lost, unless they be ruled and governed from within.

“Man’s life on earth is a continual warfare, as holy Job witnesseth. In this warfare thou must watch, and thy watching must consist in purifying and quieting thy spirit in all its motions. When any sudden storm of passions and sensual unquietness ariseth in thy soul, be always ready with speed to settle and pacify the same, in not granting it too much liberty to start or wander out of the right way.

“Do after this sort so often as unquietness shall assault thee, either in prayer or out of prayer. Then shalt thou be able to pray well, when in this manner thou knowest how to work well. And note that thou do this ever, not with force or violence, but with great mildness; for thy principal exercise must be to quiet thy soul and heart, not suffering that they stray or be disordered, but that always they be at rest.”

JOHN GIDEOMN HARTNETT writes:

In this video clip (9m:17s) Dr David [Martin] explains that the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA experimental medical products are actually a medical device. They are neither a vaccine nor a therapeutic agent. (See partial transcript below.)

It is a totally new device, where a piece of RNA is encapsulated inside a ball of fat and injected into the muscle of the recipient. The device then co-ops the body’s cell machinery to manufacture the spike protein of the coronavirus.

The theory goes that the body’s immune system then responds to make making antibodies against the disease. But effectively the technique is giving the recipient a form of the disease that is endogenously made. (It is not surprising that many of the trial recipients got China virus symptoms after their first shot.)

He said it doesn’t even come close to the definition of a vaccine. A vaccine is meant to 1) rev up the immune system thus producing immunity to the disease, and, 2) interrupt transmission of the disease.

According to Pierre Escaudron,

Despite its name, the Pfizer ‘vaccine’ is more akin to gene therapy, the definition of which is: “the utilization of the therapeutic delivery of nucleic acids into a patient’s cells”. The Pfizer “vaccine” is exactly that, an artificial RNA sequence delivered via nano lipids into the patient’s cells, to hijack them and direct them to produce the spike protein found on SARS-CoV-2, or at least on one of its old variants. From there, the host should react to this protein by producing antibodies. Too many antibodies and an immune storm happens, not enough antibodies and the triggered immunity is useless. Read More »

ONE Twitter commenter calls it the “Hell Wealth Safety Seal.”

Will it be one way people who have not been “vaccinated” will be denied service?

ZENO writes:

I find it interesting that, for a whole year, no one was talking about “mutations” or “variants,” it was just “Covid,” but now they are suddenly finding new “variants” of the virus in each country, and apparently all at the same time. What gives?

Are they preparing us for something?

You know, I think they will announce at some point that a “new vaccine-resistant and deadlier mutation” has appeared, and that either there will be a need for a new vaccine, or a permanent lockdown, or both.

I think this will continue  for the whole of 2021 or more. Read More »

VIRUSES are constantly mutating. The idea that there is one especially lethal strain of coronavirus that has been identified and purified in a lab and now there is a new especially lethal, scientifically identified strain is not true, Jon Rappoport writes.

“Viruses are unstable, RNA [e.g, SARS-Cov-2] viruses especially. They are so unstable, there is no such thing as an un-mutated RNA virus. They are like snow flakes, no two are identical.”

“HIV is an RNA virus with 9,800 nucleotides. You can download the HIV Sequence Compendium here:” [3]

“In the Preface it says:”

“’The number of [genetic] sequences in the HIV database is still increasing. In total, at the end of 2017, there were 812,586 sequences in the HIV Sequence Database, an increase of 8.5% since the previous year.”

“None of the sequences of the world destroying [sarcasm], computer generated coronavirus with its 30,000 or so nucleotides, are identical.”
