		<description><![CDATA[Many have speculated what would result from the triumph of formal heresy at the very highest levels of the Church&#8217;s hierarchy&#8230; Could it occur? Has it, actually? After all, aren&#8217;t such preposterous claims the province of &#8220;integlralistes&#8221; and &#8220;traditionalists&#8221; &#8211; those schismatic, mean-spirited and &#8220;hardheaded fools&#8221; ( viz., PP Francis, &#8220;bishop of Rome&#8221; ) who are all &#8220;outside the Church&#8221;? Well, for 50 years, what Cd. Koch (the poster boy of ecumenism) openly states, conciliarist popes and heads of dicasteries have actually urged the faithful to go forth and &#8220;teach&#8221; likewise&#8230; So, in case anyone is still wondering, BEHOLD! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ www.harvestingthefruit.com/koch/ By Louis Verrecchio If the most recent Holy Roman Pontiff to have been canonized, Pope St. Pius X, could suddenly be placed in the Holy See of today, like a frog dropped in a pot of boiling water, he would leap into action, the anathemas and condemnations flying from his mighty pen so fast it would make even Cardinal Burke’s head spin. As it is, the majority of Catholic prelates are doing backstrokes as the souls in their care perish from lack of a shepherd. Enter Cardinal Kurt Koch. According to a report in the Tablet, Cardinal Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Commission for Religious Relations with Jews, on a recent visit to Jerusalem, stressed “no conversion for the Jews,” saying: “We Christians must not bear witness in relation to the Jews to a path of salvation which is completely foreign to them, as we do with other religions. This is because the New Testament is built up totally on the basis of the Old Testament. The Catholic Church therefore does not have an organized Jewish mission, as certain Evangelical groups do.” In light of Aquinas’ definition of heresy as “a species of infidelity in men who, having professed the faith of Christ, corrupt its dogmas,” this would make Cardinal Koch a material heretic. In speaking of “a path of salvation which is completely foreign” to the Jews, clearly His Eminence is referring to none other than Jesus Christ, who alone is the Way to everlasting life. How is it even remotely possible for anyone who holds the Catholic faith, much less a Prince of the Church (a title that means less with every passing day) to refer to Jesus Christ, Son of David and long-awaited Messiah, as “completely foreign” to the Jews? If a candidate for Confirmation said this, the bishop would be duty bound to deny him the sacrament! And while it is true from the standpoint of formal structure that the Church does not have “an organized Jewish mission,” it is to the everlasting shame of all of her members that this is the case, especially those in the hierarchy who, like Cardinal Koch, place diplomacy and warm sentiments above the mission that Jesus Christ gave to His Church.Clearly, St. Peter didn’t believe that the Jews were exempt from the divine mandate to “Go forth to all nations, baptizing&#160;<a href="http://angelqueen.org/2013/05/19/cd-koch-his-formal-heresy-publicly-examined/" class="read-more">Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[The latest from the religious right-wing "fever swamps" (cf. William Buckley)] Vatican preparing for &#8216;savior&#8217; from outer space? Popes, prophecies, aliens: Public wants to know what&#8217;s going on Published: 5/16/13 www.wnd.com/2013/05/vatican-preparing-for-savior-from-outer-space/ When the first resignation of a pope in 600 years coincides with the release of a book about a pope resigning, well, the result is bestseller status for an author. Or, more precise, authors, as Tom Horn and Chris Putnam combined to pen “Petrus Romanus,” an exhaustive and heavily documented look at the mysterious “prophecies of St. Malachy,” a 12th century Irish priest. “‘Petrus Romanus’ in the last two months has sold better than it did last year,” says Horn. Pope Benedict’s stunning resignation not only created a firestorm of media coverage, but also drove Christian radio shows and publications to focus on the Vatican intrigue. Horn and Putnam have been inundated with media requests. Now, the two have produced a new book, “Exo-Vaticana: Petrus Romanus, Project LUCIFER, and the Vatican’s Astonishing Exo-Theological Plan for the Arrival of an Alien Savior.” With a subtitle like that, Horn knows readers will be intrigued, and the built-in audience from the runaway sales of “Petrus Romanus” ensure another bestseller. “Last year we were doing shows on ‘Petrus Romanus’ and on call-in shows, more callers were interested in the Vatican’s E.T. connection,” says Horn. “When we responded to those questions, those shows did better than the one on the prophecy of the popes!” The public can’t seem to get enough news about the subjects covered by Horn and Putnam. Horn realizes the pair’s various projects (including a new documentary done in conjunction with WND Films, “The Last Pope?”) has caught a wave of popular imagination. “The prophecy of the popes was somewhat ambiguous, and many people hadn’t even heard about it,” says Horn. “But E.T.s … that’s an interest for almost everyone.” Pope Benedict’s shocking resignation in early 2013 made the co-authors seem like they had inside information no one else had. Horn disputes that. “We were in the right place at the right time; I’m no prophet,” Horn says. “We had alerted people with the earlier book to the fact that dramatic things were going to come out of the Vatican, and here we are.” “Petrus Romanus” examined the strange prophecies of St. Malachy, who indicated centuries ago that the final pope would be “Peter the Roman.” Horn remembers how that writing project came about: “I was speaking at Chuck Missler’s Strategic Conference in 2011, and my son brought up a question: In ‘Apollyon Rising 2012′ [a previous Horn blockbuster], I had mentioned in one paragraph the pope prophecy. My son said, ‘Regardless of what you make of it, it is a very old document, even if it is dated only to 1,500 years. It’s interesting that the last pope is the last one on this list.’” That was the genesis for “Petrus Romanus.” “We were talking about it,” says Horn today, “that no one had written a book – this very&#160;<a href="http://angelqueen.org/2013/05/19/vatican-preparing-for-savior-from-outer-space/" class="read-more">Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Martyrology-May 20th Roman Martyrology-May 20th- on this date in various years- At Aquila in Abruzzi, St. Bernardin of Siena, priest of the Order of Friars Minor, who added to the glory of Italy by his preaching and his example. At Rome, St. Plautilla, wife of a consul, sister of the consul Flavius Clemens, and mother of the holy virgin Flavia Domitilla, both martyrs. She was baptized by the apostle St. Peter, and after giving an example of all the virtues, she rested in peace. Also at Rome, on the Salarian Way, the birthday of St. Basilla, virgin, who was of a royal family and betrothed to a nobleman. When she refused to marry him, he accused her of being a Christian. Emperor Gallienus gave orders that she should accept the person to whom she had been engaged, or die by the sword. Being informed of this, and answering that she had for her spouse the King of kings, she was pierced with a sword. At Nimes in France, St. Baudelius, martyr. Being arrested, but refusing to sacrifice to idols, and remaining immovable in the faith of Christ, despite blows and tortures, he gained the palm of martyrdom by his praiseworthy death. At Edessa near Aegea in Cilicia, the holy martyrs Thalaleus, Asterius, Alexander, and their companions, who suffered under Emperor Numerian. In Thebais, St. Aquila, martyr to the faith, whose body was torn with iron combs. At Bourges in France, St. Austregisil, bishop and confessor. At Pavia, St. Theodore, bishop. And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins. R. Thanks be to God.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Modern churches aren’t up to scratch, says Vatican museum chief The Vatican official said that modern churches are missing the beauty and functionality of older churches AFP 5/17/13 The Jubilee Church in Rome, designed by architect Richard Meier VATICAN MUSEUM DIRECTOR Antonio Paolucci today criticised contemporary-style churches for lacking “form” and harked back to the Baroque era when he said that shrines embodied religious faith. Award-winning architect Richard Meier’s Church of God the Merciful Father in Rome (pictured) “could just as well be a museum in Texas or an auditorium in Melbourne”, he wrote in the Vatican’s official Osservatore Romano daily. Paolucci, who is also the head of cultural heritage for the Vatican, said what was lacking in these structures was the “church form”. “The beautiful, functional, symbolically efficient building that can serve as a model still does not exist, or at least I have not found it,” he said. Paolucci said that religious faith in Russia survived through 70 years of Communist atheism thanks to the many churches that were preserved. The Vatican official said he spoke about the matter with Rome mayor Gianni Alemanno and the cardinal vicar of Rome Agostino Vallini this week at the presentation of a book illustrating 45 new churches built in the Italian capital since 2000. Paolucci is not the first Vatican voice to criticise contemporary churches. Vatican culture chief Gianfranco Ravasi has said many modern churches are “inhospitable” and even compared them to “pretentious and vulgar houses” that were as alienating as a concert hall.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How the Pope Can Change the World Fatima Perspectives &#8211; Perspective No. 668 by Christopher A. Ferrara May 17, 2013 www.fatimaperspectives.com/oc/perspective668.asp On May 12, 2013 a number of supporters of the Fatima Center in Rome participated in the Italian March for Life. Their participation was arranged by the Center’s Rome branch, the Associazione Madonna di Fatima O.n.l.u.s., of whose board of directors I am proud to be a member. The Fatima Center representatives were part of a crowd of 30,000 which included, as the Center reports, “Large groups of young priests, seminarians and religious in cassocks and habits; families; and people of every profession including politicians and doctors, gathered to march against abortion, legalized in Italy in 1978 and which has seen millions of children killed.” It is said that Paul VI wept when the first abortion clinic opened in Rome in 1978, the very year of his death. That ill-starred Pope wept and wrung his hands a great deal toward the end of his life as the new program of “dialogue with the world” systematically shut down the Church militant, leaving it even more helpless before the power of the State than it had been when Blessed Pius IX was infamously a “prisoner in the Vatican.” But during the Italian March for Life we saw something that should be a model for the future of Catholic social action: the personal participation of the Pope — no mere pro forma greeting dispatched from a Vatican office, but down-in-the-street activism along with the members of the crowd. As the Center notes, Pope Francis was there on the Via della Conciliazione, the broad avenue leading to St. Peter’s Square, where he “warmly greeted the marchers from his pope mobile to encourage and bless them.” The world knows what even Catholics have forgotten: that legalized abortion would not stand a chance if the Pope would only lead a worldwide Catholic civil rights movement against it, directing the bishops of every diocese to take to the streets with the members of their flocks to demand an end to what Vatican II itself called “an abominable crime.” The Pope, leader of the immense Mystical Body of Christ on earth, has the power to remake the face of the world if only he will use the spiritual power that Christ has entrusted to him. This is the very power that will be unleashed by the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Let us pray that Pope Francis, whose pontificate has just been consecrated to Our Lady of Fatima, will perform the act his predecessors have for so long neglected — an act, that, as Antonio Socci has written, will bring about “the overthrow of the mentality dominating modernity” and produce a victory for God and His Church even greater than that at the “Battle of Lepanto.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Cardinal Burke will deliver the keynote address] Pope Francis to Hold Global Pro-Life Conference, Pro-Life Mass on June 16 by Austin Ruse &#124; The Vatican &#124; LifeNews.com &#124; 5/16/13 www.lifenews.com/2013/05/16/pope-francis-to-hold-global-pro-life-conference-pro-life-mass-on-june-16/ The Vatican (CFAM/LifeNews) –Pro-lifers held their breath the day the world received a new Pope. They did not question his pro-life credentials but wondered if he would speak forcefully. An old quote soon surfaced and concerns faded. “Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you. No child should be deprived of the right to be born, the right to be fed, the right to go to school.” This June the Pope also will play a central role in the Vatican’s annual celebration of the Gospel of Life, the papal teaching published by Pope John Paul II in 1995. His successor, Benedict XVI, started the annual celebration a few years ago that features a papal mass for pro-life leaders. The new Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization, established by Benedict to encourage a reawakening of the faith in traditionally Christian countries, leads an expanded celebration this year. This year’s three-day celebration begins with a conference funded by C-FAM and led by its chairman, Douglas A. Sylva. Cardinal Raymond Burke will deliver the keynote address on the Gospel of Life and the New Evangelization. Dr. Robert Royal of the Faith and Reason Institute and Dr. Francis Beckwith of Baylor University will answer Burke’s keynote address. Unlike Protestant and even Evangelical denominations, the Catholic Church has not waivered on the question of abortion or other life issues. The Church sees an inextricable link between its central evangelical mission and the life. On Saturday morning pro-life pilgrims will gather around Rome and proceed to the tomb of St. Peter. Churches near the Vatican will host an afternoon of Eucharistic adoration followed by a prayer vigil and candlelight procession led by American Archbishop Augustine DeNoia, head of the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship. The procession ends near the Vatican where some think Pope Francis will greet the crowd. Surprising many, Francis visited the Roman March for Life. On Sunday, June 16, Pope Francis will celebrate a Mass for Life in St. Peter’s Square. A number of Americans have helped plan this event including representatives from Priests for Life, the Pro-Life Secretariat of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, Alliance Defending Freedom, Susan B. Anthony List, Students for Life of America, LiveAction, and Americans United for Life. Besides the conference for English speakers, there will be events in other languages with many attendees expected from Europe. The Pope’s commitment to life issues cannot be underestimated. He sets the tone of the church and while many bishops and priests shy from the life issues, they find that more difficult if the Pope assertively leads the way. Pope Francis continues to express strong pro-life views. Besides appearing unexpectedly at the Rome March for Life, he tweeted this week: ”It is God who gives&#160;<a href="http://angelqueen.org/2013/05/18/pope-francis-to-hold-global-pro-life-conference-pro-life-mass-on-june-16/" class="read-more">Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[The Catholic left invokes the secular arm to go after the Catholic right and bar it from the public square] Donohue says IRS probe triggered by Catholics United By Kevin J. Jones www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/donohue-says-irs-probe-triggered-by-catholics-united/ New York City, N.Y., May 18, 2013 / (CNA).- Bill Donohue of the Catholic League said he was “stunned” that the IRS investigated his organization in 2008, charging that the Democrat-leaning group Catholics United filed the complaint and used it to argue that CNN should drop him as a commentator. “This was a fishing expedition meant to intimidate me and create a chilling effect on my freedom of speech,” Donohue said. “I still couldn’t believe that a couple of weeks after the election, I was being asked to spend my entire Thanksgiving trying to defend the Catholic League about something which we’re not guilty of,” Donohue told CNA May 17. “We don’t give money. We don’t do endorsements. I’m not a Republican. I’m not a Democrat,” he said. “Of course I address the issues. That’s what I’m supposed to do. That’s my freedom of speech.” Donohue recounted the inquiry in a May 16 essay for Newsmax. He said that Catholics United’s lawyers sent a June 5, 2008 letter to Marsha Ramirez, the Internal Revenue Service’s Director of Exempt Organizations Examinations, and to Lois G. Lerner, director of the IRS’ Exempt Organizations Division. The letter asked the IRS to question the sources of the Catholic League’s new funding. Donohue said the Catholics United complaint was leaked to him by a CNN employee in October 2008. “It was miraculously almost the same document that I got a month later from the IRS,” Donohue told CNA. On Nov. 24, 2008, the IRS sent the Catholic League a letter notifying the Catholic League that it was under investigation for possibly violating IRS rules on political activities for 501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations. The letter included news releases and articles Donohue had written about the presidential campaign. Donohue said that Catholics United used its own complaint as evidence in its push to remove him from television. In October 2008, Donohue criticized Catholics United and its allied organizations, saying they are backed by organizations funded by the Democrat-leaning billionaire George Soros. CNN invited Donohue to go on air as a commentator, but Catholics United’s then-executive director Chris Korzen lobbied the news channel to rescind the invitation, Donohue said. Catholics United asked CNN to drop the Donohue interview or put on Alexia Kelley, then-executive director of its allied group Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good. Catholics United sent CNN its complaint to the IRS, arguing that the Catholic League was not a legitimate Catholic organization. “It wasn’t good enough just to get the Catholic League involved with the IRS. They tried to deny me to get on television,” Donohue told CNA. “It shows you the kind of ruthlessness we have come to expect from the Catholic left.” The IRS ruled that the Catholic League had “intervened in a political campaign” but in a way&#160;<a href="http://angelqueen.org/2013/05/18/donohue-says-irs-probe-triggered-by-catholics-united/" class="read-more">Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

Reilly of Catholic Education Daily argues that Boston College, Saint Louis University, Santa Clara University, the University of Dayton, the University of Notre Dame and Villanova University fail to make good on the moral requirement to assist lower income families. Reilly’s analysis is based on the research of Stephen Burd at the New America Foundation (newamerica.net/publications/policy/undermining_pell ). Burd’s rather simple thesis, backed up by tuition,endowment and financial aid data, asserts that colleges compete for wealthy students and leave low income students behind. Burd does not focus on Catholic institutions, but Reilly and the Cardinal Newman Society do make an examination of Catholic institutions their special focus. Reilly states: But Burd’s report helps make an important distinction between “financial aid” (loans and grant aid) that is used to attract students from middle-income families, and the free or very low-cost education that Catholic schools and colleges have historically provided to the least fortunate. Whereas the former is often a sort of variable pricing that offers steep discounts and low-interest loans—often benefiting middle-class families that didn’t save for college—the latter is charity. Given the high priority that Catholic colleges place on teaching students compassion for the poor and needy, one would expect those with the largest endowments to be among the most charitable. Instead, Burd finds that even steeply discounted prices at several top-ranked Catholic universities are prohibitive for low-income students, defined as having family incomes of $30,000 or less. Burd looks at 479 private four-year colleges included in the 2010endowment survey of the National Association of College and University Business Officers. He reports: There are 79 private colleges with endowments of more than $250 million that charge low-income students an average net price over $10,000; 51 that charge over $15,000; and 26 that charge over $20,000. That prompted The Cardinal Newman Society to look specifically at Catholic colleges. We found 17—about eight percent of four-year Catholic colleges in the U.S.—that had endowments larger than $250 million in FY 2010. Not one of the 17 appears on Burd’s lists of most charitable colleges for low-income students, measured by percent of students receiving federal Pell Grants and the average cost of attendance (net price) for each low-income student in the 2010-2011 academic year. But six wealthy Catholic universities appear on Burd’s list of institutions with relatively low percentages of Pell Grant recipients and high net price for the neediest students—including three Jesuit institutions,despite the Jesuits’ traditional emphasis on social concerns. At Santa Clara University in California, Burd reports, the average price charged to low-income students was a whopping $46,347—more than 150 percent of their families’ annual income. And yet Santa Clara’s endowment (more than $600 million) was among the largest 100 for private colleges in the U.S. The Jesuits’ Saint Louis&#160;<a href="http://angelqueen.org/2013/05/18/slammednewman-society-points-out-failure-of-catholic-universities-to-serve-the-poor/" class="read-more">Continue Reading</a>]]></description>
