Clergy Arrested in Nigeria for Impersonating Army
They should have been arrested for impersonating clergy too because none of them are Catholics.

Two Bishops and three other pastors have been arrested by the police for allegedly impersonating the Nigerian Army.
The clerics are all general overseers of different churches in Lagos. The pastors were said to have been duping people with Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) Go Army Net Work.
Daily Sun reliably gathered that the pastors were wearing army uniforms with different ranks when they were arrested.
Daily Sun further gathered that the founder of the NGO, Bishop Maccran Ransome, of the Apostolic Church Mission had been swindling other pastors who he promised that his NGO would enhance their connection internationally.

Father Kung is the cause of Child Abuse
The loquacious dissenter is at it again, (despite being silenced since 1979) and telling the world and anyone who will listen that the problem isn't himself, or those like him, but rather, one of the very things which defines Catholicism, clerical celibacy. He's even used it as an opportunity to parade that tired liberal shiboleth that clerical celibacy is the reason for the shortage in the first place. Indeed, Father Kung's rhetoric as fatuous as it is, still plays well to the perfidious media and the jeering crowds who hunger for innocent blood.
He's described the Catholic Church in Europe as having "uptight" views. It's rather hard to describe the perpetrators of these crimes as "uptight". Father Kung sounds a bit like a hustler or a pimp romancing a potential victim than a Catholic priest. Is it any wonder that he's a byproduct of Tubingen University, a place that produces more ecclesiastical termites than most "Catholic" Theology faculties.
But let's not let facts get in the way of a rash judgement which many people never the less unthinkingly hold. Despite the fact that sex abuse is proportionately more common among married Protestant and Jewish clergy[1], he and others like him will continue to use the medias exploitation of the weakness of quite a few liberal and homosexual priests and religious for the benefit of an infernal programme designed to attack the Church.
Far from being a Catholic priest, Father Kung is actually one mouthpiece for a society of malice, like the jeering crowds at Golgotha who ridiculed Our Lord in the time of His Passion.
What he and other detractors of the Catholic Church's name don't tell you is that there is a lot more child abuse outside the Catholic Church than as a result of its clerics. It shouldn't be surprising if the Catholic Church suffers then from the same moral ills that society at large suffers, indeed, what's surprising is that it doesn't suffer them as much. In a twist of irony, the entertainment industry is far more likely to abuse children than the priests of the Catholic Church. A few directors like Roman Polanski, Woody Allen and Terry Gilliam come to mind, who have either taken advantage of minors or at least make allowances for it, and even portray the potentiality in a positive light as Gilliam did in his most recent and salacious film where he portrays a 16 year old "seducing" a man in his early thirties. In any event, people are eager to invite these abusive degenerates into their home while they snicker malevolently at priest and altar boy jokes.
Thank God for the many loyal priests and religious you may have known in your life and offer thanks for the Masses and sacrifices they've made to bring you the sacrament.

Holy Father: Government Can't Replace Love
VATICAN CITY, MARCH 8, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Without charity work, society cannot last long, Benedict XVI says, since even in the most just society, love will always be necessary.
The Pope affirmed this Saturday when he addressed some 7,000 employees and volunteers of Italian civil protection services gathered in Paul VI Hall.
The audience was held exactly 11 months after the April 6 earthquake in Italy's Abruzzo region.
The Holy Father thanked the many "good Samaritans" for the commitment to the victims of that tragedy. Referencing his encyclical "Deus Caritas Est," he also affirmed that "love will always be necessary, even in the most just society."

Abortionfest at USF
By Gibbons J. Cooney
Special to California Catholic Daily
The University of San Francisco, a Jesuit institution, will host the “Global Women's Rights Forum” from today through Thursday, March 11. The forum is sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences, the Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good, the Sociology Colloquium, the School of Nursing, the Politics Department, the Gender and Sexuality Studies Department, and curiously, the Theology and Religious Studies Department.
The three speakers at the forum’s Wednesday event, “Bringing Home the right to Health: Critical Interventions in Women's Health Care,” are Lori Freedman, visiting scholar at the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences and the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health at UCSF; Destiny Lopez, executive director, ACCESS, Oakland; and Eve Zaritsky, a physician at Oakland Kaiser, and the medical director of the Women's Community Clinic, San Francisco.
At UCSF, Professor Freedman works as a research associate at the ANSIRH (Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Heath) think tank. ANSIRH’s “Later Abortion” Web page says: “This website is dedicated to the memory and spirit of Dr. Tiller and is a resource for women, clinicians, researchers and journalists who want to learn more about later abortion care.” The reference is to notorious partial-birth abortionist Dr. George Tiller who was murdered in 2009. ANSIRH spearheaded the “Second Trimester Abortion Initiative” which “…promotes a strategic vision for securing access to and provision of second trimester abortion care in the United States,” and provides a list of clinics that provide what they call “Later Abortion.”

Media Abuse of Pope's Brother
Everybody used corporal punishment. Will secular schools repay students for their negligence?
What's worse is the desperation with which the collective media is engaging this problem, they couldn't find a great deal of sexual abuse associated with the Msgr Ratzinger's school, so they want to harp about the alleged physical abuse.

What's worse is the desperation with which the collective media is engaging this problem, they couldn't find a great deal of sexual abuse associated with the Msgr Ratzinger's school, so they want to harp about the alleged physical abuse.
[Reuters] Rev. Georg Ratzinger, 86, made the comments to a German paper following charges of sexual and physical abuse in Catholic schools in the pope's native Bavaria. Sexual abuse scandals have also rocked the church in the United States and Ireland.
"Pupils told me on concert trips about what went on. But it didn't dawn on me from their stories that I should do something. I was not aware of the extent of these brutal methods," Ratzinger told the Passauer Neue Presse.
"If I had known about the excess of force he was using, I would have said something ... I ask the victims for forgiveness," said Ratzinger who led the "Regensburger Domspatzen," or Regensburg Cathedral Sparrows, the official choir for the Regensburg diocese, from 1964 to 1994.

Former Nuntio Publicly Attacks Pope Benedict
This ex-Nuntio despises [1] the direction the Papacy is going under Benedict's leadership, particularly in regard to his recent naming of the conservative Archbishop Leonard as the new Primate of Belgium [2]. Considering the Archbishop's steady hand in the face of secularist criticism and a lawsuit by homosexuals, it does give some indication of the reason for the Nuntio's hostility to the appointment.
[Translation from Kathnet]Karl-Josef Rauber is the Nuntio emeritus of Switzerland and openly violates the papal silence "Sub secreto pontificio" in conjunction with Episcopal appointments.
In a firey interview, which appeared in the last edition of the Italian paper, "Ill Regno",the German Archbishop Karl-Josef Rauber, till just recently the Apostolic Nuncio in Belgium and Luxemburg, turned with harsh criticisms against his superior and countryman, Joseph Ratzinger.
"For anyone, who has the occupation of the Office of the Papacy, it's no small thing." said the experienced Vaticanist, Sandro Magister, in the Italian paper, "L'Espresso" in a related commentary.
His intention to criticize the Pope has deep roots; they go back to the time when Ratzinger was a professor in Regensburg and Rauber was sent by him, to be engaged in his behalf in Rome. Archbishop Rauber's intention then was to challenge his conservative disposition.
The position worsened as Rauber became Nuntio in Switzerland. He complained in the interview, that the then Cardinal-Prefect of the Congregation of the Faith had denounced him "four times" to the Secretary of State, because he was openly criticizing the discipline of celibacy and had spoken poorly of some Bishops.
King Juan Carlos Signs the Abortion Bill Into Law
SPAIN, March 5, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, has signed a bill into law legalizing abortion on demand for the first fourteen weeks of pregnancy.
The law, which was recently passed by the Spanish Congress and Senate, also declares abortion as a "right," allows minors as young as 16 to obtain abortions without their parents' consent, and requires abortionist and homosexualist education in the nation's schools.
The king, a professed Catholic, ignored pleas from a number of theologians and pro-life activists to withhold his signature from the bill, which would have prevented it from being promulgated and applied.

Here's a Secretary of State, but from a Century Ago
One interesting thing is how Magister depicts the Secretariat during the time of John Paul II, as being bypassed and having his office left in a shambles. Cardinal Sodano always seemed like a saturnine figure in the Curia and a man who would certainly attempt to undermine the Holy Father if not the Papacy and Catholicism itself.

Former Concentration Camp Vandalized in Linz
Abuse was scrawled on the outer wall of the Mauthausen camp near Linz overnight and no culprits had been found, Michael Tischlinger, head of the provincial anti-terrorism police, told the Austrian Press Agency.
"Such a desecration is not a prank, the culprits had a select target," said Willi Mernyi, head of the Mauthausen Committee which helps oversee the site where around 100,000 people died during Nazi rule in Austria in 1938-45.
"There is an active far-right scene in Upper Austria that does not even shrink away from vandalizing a former concentration camp," Mernyi said in a statement.

The USCCB Wishes to Ignore the Problems and Silence the barking Watchdog
Michael Hichborn has a coherent case for the fact that, Episcopal and offical denials notwithstanding, CCHD continues to promote anti-Catholic Catholic causes and organizations.
You can sign his petition, here.
These organizations, which you'll find in the shadow of any major non-profit organizations, Unions, Government and so forth, are not elective. If you go to a University, some of your fees will go to promote them and their anti-Catholic aims. They are like persistent tumours and I find the efforts of various mouthpieces appaling. Which raises the second point; the defenders of the USCCB and the CCHD really have no coherent answer for this, but they are content to wait for the problem to go away if they ignore the problem, and the people trying to draw attention to it long enough.
And additionally, it's time, since so much has been revealed today about Father Maciel, the predatory founder of the Legionaires of Christ, to think about the legacy of Cardinal Bernardin and his "seamless garment" which fostered this viper and put it to the breast of American Catholicism. We found Bernardin mentioned on the Dad29 blogsite and are happy that there are many others who are aware of legacy afforded us by these politicizing prelates who were nothing but wolves.
