As Christians worldwide celebrated their most significant holiday, their most recognizable figure delivered a distinctly secular message. 

On Easter Sunday, the Vatican released a letter Pope Francis wrote to Catholic organizations in South America. Francis wrote that the coronavirus pandemic “might be a good time to consider a universal basic wage” that would enable the poor to enjoy “the benefits of globalism.” 

Such a measure, Francis wrote, “would ensure and concretely achieve the ideal, at once so human and so Christian, of no worker without rights.” 

Toward the end of his letter, Francis hoped the pandemic would generate “a humanist and ecological conversion that puts an end to the idolatry of money, and places human life and dignity at the center.” 

Nowhere in his letter did Francis mention Jesus Christ. 

The letter conclusively proves that Francis is transforming the Catholic Church into another non-governmental organization. In the process, he is destroying the church's identity and credibility. 

Francis’ activism reflects and culminates the Vatican’s embrace of humanist utopianism, which Front Page Magazine briefly addressed last year in “They Died For 'Dialogue’?” That article traced the Holy See’s policy of appeasing Islam and China to the radical globalism adopted at the Second Vatican Council, which met from 1962 to 1965. 

A pastoral document written on politics and economics during the council stated that “there must be made available to all men everything necessary for leading a life truly human, such as food, clothing, and shelter. ... Hence, the social order and its development must invariably work to the benefit of the human person.” 

In 1967, Pope Paul VI called for international agencies to create “a full-bodied humanism,” he wrote, by managing the world's economic and political development: 


Such international collaboration among the nations of the world certainly calls for institutions that will promote, coordinate and direct it, until a new juridical order is firmly established and fully ratified. We give willing and wholehearted support to those public organizations that have already joined in promoting the development of nations, and We ardently hope that they will enjoy ever growing authority.


In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI took that concept to its logical conclusion ​by advocating that the United Nations direct both international and domestic​ economic policies:


In the face of the unrelenting growth of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need...

for a reform of the United Nations...and, likewise, of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth.... 

To manage the global economy...to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need of a true world political authority...


This authority, Benedict wrote, must "seek to establish the common good" and "have the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties, and also with the coordinated measures adopted in various international forums." 

The ultimate purpose, Benedict wrote, would be to design a "directed" global economy that would "open up the unprecedented possibility of large-scale redistribution of wealth on a world-wide scale" - - including "a worldwide redistribution of energy resources, so that countries lacking those resources can have access to them." 

In promoting such an authority, Benedict subtly redefined the Catholic Church's primary role from proclaiming the Gospel to ensuring economic benefits for all -- or, at least, redefining the Gospel in materialist terms. Benedict even presumed that global economic management through a “true world political authority" can achieve spiritual harmony. 


When animated by charity, commitment to the common good ... has a place within the testimony of divine charity that paves the way for eternity through temporal action. Man's earthly activity, when inspired and sustained by charity, contributes to the building of the universal city of God, which is the goal of the history of the human family.


Like his predecessors, Francis believes globalism is pivotal. In an August interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa​​, Francis criticized nationalist movements threatening the European Union: 


Europe cannot and must not break apart. It is a historical, cultural, as well as geographical, unity. Never forget that ‘the whole is greater than the parts.’ Globalization, unity, should not be conceived as a sphere but as a polyhedron. Each people retains its identity in unity with others.


Francis' bishops promote the new prime directive. “They Died For ‘Dialogue’?” mentions the praise Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, the chancellor of the Pontifical Council for Sciences and Social Sciences, gave China in February 2018:


Right now, those who are implementing the Church's social doctrine the best are the Chinese.

They search for the common good and subordinate everything to the general welfare.


Sorondo particularly praised China's implementation of "Laudato Si," Francis' environmental encyclical, for "defending the dignity of the person" and "assuming a moral leadership that others have left," a criticism of the United States' withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on carbon-dioxide emissions. 

Sorondo issued his praise despite the fact that China ranks among the world's worst air polluters, performs between 10 million and 23 million abortions a year -- many of them forced by the government -- and persecutes Christians who worship outside of state-approved churches. 

In June 2018, Cardinal Pietro Parolin became the first official from the Holy See to attend the Bilderberg Meetings, where international figures from business, finance, government, communications and academia gathered to discuss such topics as political populism, free trade and economic inequality. Eighteen months earlier, Parolin had addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. 

Parolin -- the Vatican's second-most powerful figure as its secretary of state -- received an invitation from the Bilderberg organizers, who insisted upon his presence.

Nearly three months later, Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich vividly illustrated the papacy's priorities. Immediately after Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano alleged that Francis protected and promoted sexual predators among the bishops, Cupich performed his best imitation of Marie Antoinette. 

"The Pope has a bigger agenda," Cupich told Chicago's WMAQ-TV. "He's got to get on with other things: talking about the environment, protecting migrants and carrying on the work of the Church. We're not going to go down a rabbit hole on this." 

Cupich repeated that theme the next day at Mundelein Seminary in suburban Chicago: "We have a bigger agenda than to be distracted by all of this," Cupich told the seminarians, one of whom spoke anonymously to the Chicago Sun-Times about the archbishop's address. The Sun-Times published the story after receiving confirmation from other sources, including several seminarians.

If Catholic prelates are willing to disregard the victimization of the innocent, nobody should expect them to uphold the church’s historic opposition to abortion and contraception.

In February, one month before California‘s primary, San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy issued voting guidelines for Catholics in his diocese. But McElroy did more than reiterate support for Francis’ positions on environmentalism and immigration. He essentially stated that those positions held greater significance than the church’s stance against abortion and contraception.

While conceding that abortion was “intrinsically evil,” McElroy criticized the idea that “candidates who seek laws opposing intrinsically evil actions automatically have a​ primary claim to political support in the Catholic conscience.”

“The problem with this approach is that while the criterion of intrinsic evil identifies specific human acts that can never be justified, this criterion is not a measure of the relative gravity of the evil in particular human or political actions,” McElroy wrote. “Telling a lie is intrinsically evil, while escalating a nuclear arms race is not. But it is wrongheaded to propose that telling a lie to constituents should count more in the calculus of faithful voting than a candidate’s plans to initiate a destabilizing nuclear weapons program."


Similarly, contraception is intrinsically evil in Catholic moral theology, while actions which destroy the environment generally are not. But it is a far greater moral evil for our​ country to abandon the Paris Climate Accord than to provide contraceptives in federal health centers.​ (emphasis added)


Perhaps no better example of the Vatican’s embrace of humanist globalism exists than the presence of economist Jeffrey Sachs as a papal advisor. Sachs, who drafted the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, supports abortion as an integral part of population control. Nevertheless, he participates frequently in Vatican conferences on sustainability.

So why would Francis have Sachs as an advisor? Consider these comments the economist made to the National Catholic Register ​​after one such conference in February:


Asked whether by the Church’s teaching on human dignity he meant respect for life from conception to natural death, Sachs replied: ‘I mean everybody’s economic needs should be met, that people should have the dignity of work, that the poor should be helped, that this is about the core ideas of human well-being.’

Asked if by helping the poor he meant wealth creation, he said: ‘Jesus said, “He who feeds the least among me, feeds me.” He was talking about helping the poor. When Aristotle talks about politics or the common good, he’s talking about a society in which people afforded dignity.’

‘We know why our current system leads to massive inequalities, leaving billions of people behind,’ he said, ‘and so this is about public policy, about individual ethics, social organization. It’s about our attitudes towards others.’


When questioned by Pontius Pilate, Jesus said that his kingdom was not of this world. Yet as Sachs demonstrates, Catholicism is trying to gain the whole world by being like the world. By doing so, the church is losing its own soul.

THE MUSLIM GENOCIDE OF 2.5 MILLION CHRISTIANS

THE MUSLIM GENOCIDE OF 2.5 MILLION CHRISTIANS 

The religious as opposed to nationalistic aspects of the Armenian Genocide

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Last Friday, April 24, marked the “Great Crime,” that is, the genocide of Christians—primarily Armenians Assyrians and Greeks—that took place under the Islamic Ottoman Empire, throughout World War I.  Then, in an attempt to wipe out as many Christians as possible, the Turks massacred approximately 1.5 million Armenians, 300,000 Assyrians, and 750,000 Greeks.

Most objective American historians who have studied the question unequivocally agree that it was a deliberate, calculated genocide:

More than one million Armenians perished as the result of execution, starvation, disease, the harsh environment, and physical abuse.  A people who lived in eastern Turkey for nearly 3,000 years [more than double the amount of time the invading Islamic Turks had occupied Anatolia, now known as “Turkey”] lost its homeland and was profoundly decimated in the first large-scale genocide of the twentieth century.  At the beginning of 1915 there were some two million Armenians within Turkey; today there are fewer than 60,000….  Despite the vast amount of evidence that points to the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide, eyewitness accounts, official archives, photographic evidence, the reports of diplomats, and the testimony of survivors, denial of the Armenian Genocide by successive regimes in Turkey has gone on from 1915 to the present.

Similarly, in 1920, U.S. Senate Resolution 359 heard testimony that included evidence of “[m]utilation, violation, torture, and death [which] have left their haunting memories in a hundred beautiful Armenian valleys, and the traveler in that region is seldom free from the evidence of this most colossal crime of all the ages.” 

In her memoir, Ravished Armenia, Aurora Mardiganian described being raped and thrown into a harem (consistent with Islam’s rules of war).  Unlike thousands of other Armenian girls who were discarded after being defiled, she managed to escape. In the city of Malatia, she saw 16 Christian girls crucified: “Each girl had been nailed alive upon her cross,” she wrote, “spikes through her feet and hands, only their hair blown by the wind, covered their bodies.” Such scenes were portrayed in the 1919 documentary film Auction of Souls, some of which is based on Mardiganian’s memoirs.

Whereas the genocide is largely acknowledged in the West, one of its primary if not fundamental causes is habitually overlooked: religion.  The genocide is usually articulated through a singularly secular paradigm, one that factors only things that are intelligible from a secular, Western point of view—such as identity and gender politics, nationalism, and territorial disputes. Such an approach does little more than project modern Western perspectives onto vastly different civilizations and eras.

War, of course, is another factor that clouds the true face of the genocide.  Because these atrocities mostly occurred during World War I, so the argument goes, they are ultimately a reflection of just that—war, in all its chaos and destruction, and nothing more.  But as Winston Churchill, who described the massacres as an “administrative holocaust,” correctly observed, “The opportunity [WWI] presented itself for clearing Turkish soil of a Christian race.”  Even Adolf Hitler, ominously presaging his own plans, had pointed out that “Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate its internal foes, i.e., the indigenous Christians, without being thereby disturbed by foreign intervention.”

It’s worth noting that little has changed; in the context of war in Iraq, Syria, and Libya, the first to be targeted for genocide have been Christians and other minorities.

But even the most cited factor of the Armenian Genocide, “ethnic identity conflict,” while legitimate, must be understood in light of the fact that, historically, religion accounted more for a person’s identity than language or heritage.   This is daily demonstrated throughout the Islamic world today, where Muslim governments and Muslim mobs persecute Christian minorities who share the same race, ethnicity, language, and culture; minorities who are indistinguishable from the majority—except, of course, for being non-Muslims, or “infidels.”

As one Armenian studies professor asks, “If it [the Armenian Genocide] was a feud between Turks and Armenians, what explains the genocide carried out by Turkey against the Christian Assyrians at the same time?” The same can be said about the Greeks. From a Turkish perspective, the primary thing Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks had in common was that they were all Christian “infidels.”

According to a 2017 book, Year of the Sword: The Assyrian Christian Genocide, the “policy of ethnic cleansing was stirred up by pan-Islamism and religious fanaticism.  Christians were considered infidels (kafir).  The call to Jihad, decreed on 29 November 1914 and instigated and orchestrated for political ends, was part of the plan” to “combine and sweep over the lands of Christians and to exterminate them.”   As with Armenians and Greeks, eyewitness accounts tell of the sadistic eye-gouging of Assyrians and the gang rape of their children on church altars. According to key documents, all this was part of “an Ottoman plan to exterminate Turkey’s Christians.”

Today, from Indonesia in the east to Morocco in the west, from Central Asia in the north, to sub-Sahara Africa—that is, throughout the entire Islamic world—Muslims are, to varying degrees, persecuting, killing, raping, enslaving, torturing and dislocating Christians; where formal Islamic groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS), Al Shabaab, Boko Haram, etc., hold sway, Christians and other “infidels” are literally experiencing a genocide.  (See Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians — or my monthly “Muslim Persecution of Christians” report — for a comprehensive and ongoing account of the “great crime” of our times.)

To understand how the historic genocide of Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks is representative of the modern day plight of Christians under Islam, one need only read the following words written in 1918 by President Theodore Roosevelt; however, read “Armenian” as “Christian” and “Turkish” as  “Islamic,” as supplied in brackets:

the Armenian [Christian] massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey [the Islamic world] is to condone it… the failure to deal radically with the Turkish [Islamic] horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense.

Similarly, if we “fail to deal radically” with the “horror” currently being visited upon millions of Christians around the Islamic world, we “condone it” and had better cease talking “mischievous nonsense” of a utopian world of peace and tolerance.

Put differently, silence is always the ally of those who would liquidate the “other.”  In 1915, Adolf Hitler rationalized his genocidal plans, which he implemented some three decades later, when he rhetorically asked: “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

And who among today’s Western politicians speaks—let alone does anything—about the ongoing annihilation of Christians by Muslims?

"UNCONSTITUTIONAL": KENTUCKY ATTORNEY GENERAL REBUKES GOVERNOR BESHEAR'S HALT ON IN-PERSON CHURCH SERVICES

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Christian News Network) — Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has filed an amicus brief in support of a local church and against his own governor, stating that Andy Beshear’s blanket halt on in-person church services, without taking into account the size of the gathering or the distancing between attendees, is “unconstitutional.”

“These restrictions apply no matter how large the gathering might be, no matter where the people might get together, and regardless of whether they practice safe social-distancing and good hygiene. This is unconstitutional. But it does not have to be this way,” Cameron wrote on Wednesday in support of an appeal in the case of Maryville Baptist Church v. Beshear.

“By simply implementing the same social-distancing measures for religious gatherings as for liquor stores, retail chains, and offices, the governor could achieve the same state interest in a less-restrictive manner,” he opined.

Cameron gave examples of considerations or criteria that Beshear could put forward instead of a general ban.



“[T]he order could permit small gatherings, or gatherings based upon the size of the space in which people meet,” he said. “Could a congregation of ten individuals, for example, meet for worship in a large auditorium?”

BACKGROUND

On March 19, Gov. Beshear issued an order prohibiting “mass gatherings,” which “includ[ed] any event or convening that brings together groups of individuals, including, but not limited to, community, civic, public, leisure, faith-based, or sporting events; parades; concerts; festivals; conventions; fundraisers; and similar activities.” It did not state any size allowances.

Read the order in full here.

Earlier this month, during his daily COVID-19 update, Beshear warned residents not to attend in-person Easter gatherings, including church services, stating that their license plate numbers would be recorded and submitted to local health departments.

“Any individual that’s going to participate in a mass gathering of any type that we know about this weekend, we are going to record license plates and provide it to local health departments,” he said. “Local health departments are going to come to your door with an order for you to be quarantined for 14 days.”

“Understand that this is the only way that your decision doesn’t kill somebody else, that your decision doesn’t spread the coronavirus in your county and your community,” Beshear continued. “Your decision to go to a mass gathering doesn’t negate the sacrifice of every other house of worship — 99.99 percent that are choosing to do the right thing.”

On Easter, two Kentucky state troopers did indeed record the license plate or VIN numbers of the approximately 50 indoor worshipers at Marysville Baptist Church in Hillview, and members received letters advising that they were consequently required to quarantine.

“This vehicle’s presence at this location indicates that its occupants are present at a mass gathering prohibited by orders of the governor and the Cabinet for Health and Family Services,” the notices read in part.

“Employees of the local health department will be contacting those associated with this vehicle with self-quarantine documents, including an agreement requiring this vehicle’s occupants and anyone in the household to self-quarantine for 14 days.”

It also noted, “Please be advised that KRS 39A.990 makes it a Class A misdemeanor to violate an emergency order.”

The church and its pastor, Jack Roberts, soon sued Beshear, stating that an injunction was necessary as they “remain targets of governor Beshear’s enforcement threats.”

The legal challenge read in part:


“Plaintiffs seek a TRO restraining enforcement against Plaintiffs of the various COVID-19 orders issued by Governor Beshear and other Commonwealth officials purporting to prohibit Plaintiffs, on pain of criminal sanctions and mandatory, household-wide quarantines … regardless of whether Plaintiffs meet or exceed the social distancing and hygiene guidelines pursuant to which the Commonwealth disparately and discriminatorily allows so-called ‘life-sustaining’ commercial and non-religious entities (e.g., beer, wine, and liquor stores, warehouse clubs, and supercenters) to accommodate large gatherings of persons without scrutiny or numerical limit.”

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF DENIED
Hale

On April 18, U.S. District Judge David Hale, nominated to the bench by then-President Barack Obama, ruled against Maryville Baptist Church, opining that Beshear’s order prohibiting in-person “mass gatherings” does not discriminate against churches as it bans all mass gatherings.

He also noted that churches have alternatives: drive-in, online, or telephone meetings, or watching online or listening on the radio.

“[U]npersuasive is Plaintiffs’ contention that the orders violate their right to freely exercise their religion by discriminating against religious conduct. Again, the order temporarily prohibits ‘[a]ll mass gatherings,’ not merely religious gatherings,” Hale wrote. “Religious expression is not singled out. And further, contrary to Plaintiffs’ assertions, there are no identified exceptions to the prohibition on mass gatherings.”

He additionally rejected the argument that it is unfair to allow supercenters or liquor stores to remain open while churches may not meet in person, finding that shopping is rather a “transitory experience” while church is more akin to a communal gathering at a concert or restaurant.

“Plaintiffs seek to compare in-person attendance at church services with presence at a liquor store or ‘supercenter store[].’ The latter, however, is a singular and transitory experience:individuals enter the store at various times to purchase various items; they move around the store individually subject to strict social-distancing guidelines set out by state and federal health authorities — and they leave when they have achieved their purpose,” Hale wrote.

“Plaintiffs’ desired church service, in contrast, is by design a communal experience, one for which a a large group of individuals come together at the same time in the same place for the same purpose.”

CAMERON INTERVENES

The church appealed, and Attorney General Cameron argued in his amicus brief in support of Marysville Baptist Church on Wednesday that Hale got it wrong.

“Simply put, permitting worshipers to attend a service where everyone typically remains in the same spot throughout (all the while social distancing) will logically place fewer Kentuckians within six feet of one another than shopping at a grocery store, hardware store, or other retail business where they will continuously pass one another, stand in line together, or bump into one another as they turn a corner,” he contended.

“And that is not to mention that in such retail establishments shoppers will pick up and put back goods, push the same shopping carts, and touch the same credit card machines.”

Cameron opined that churches are indeed being treated unfairly since secular activities are allowed, which makes the governor’s orders “quintessential discrimination against religion [and] requiring the state to meet the high burden of strict scrutiny.”

“Even though these same orders broadly permit individuals to crowd into hardware stores and law offices, or newsrooms, liquor stores and grocery stores, they do not permit people to attend religious services at a church, mosque, synagogue, or other house of worship, even if they follow social-distancing guidelines. This is, without question, an unconstitutional targeting of religious activity,” he wrote.

“Governor Beshear has publicly declared that attending worship service is not life-sustaining, while allowing liquor stores and retailers to continue operating. It is mind-boggling discrimination,” Cameron lamented. “Or as the court noted in a similar case, ‘if beer is ‘essential,’ so is Easter.”

He said that while none doubt that the government has an interest in preventing the spread of COVID-19, “Governor Beshear has offered no explanation as to why it is necessary to prohibit religious activities that pose exactly the same risk as similar, non-religious activities.”

Read Cameron’s amicus brief in full here.

Cameron also held a press conference about the issue on Wednesday (view it below), and warned in a press release, “Governor Beshear should immediately rescind the executive orders targeting faith-based gatherings, and, if he doesn’t, then we will be forced to file a lawsuit and allow a judge to determine whether his order, as it pertains to religious groups, is constitutional.”

Beshear defended his actions, stating, according to WYMT, “Folks, I’m not trying to set rules that are difficult, and I’m not trying to set rules that are controversial. I’m just trying to set rules that save lives.”

EX-CATHOLIC MIKE GENDRON: PROPHETIC IMPLICATIONS OF THIS GLOBAL CRISIS 

SEE: www.proclaimingthegospel.org; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

Students of Bible prophecy are not surprised by events that have been triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Lord Jesus Christ gave us signs that would precede His second coming. One of the many signs that we are seeing today is "pestilence" (Luke 21:11). Pestilence is defined as a "contagion or infectious epidemic that is virulent and devastating." The Lord Jesus said the signs will arrive like "birth pains", meaning they will increase in frequency and intensity prior to His return. It is true that we have seen devastating plagues and pestilences throughout history, but none of them have had the far-reaching global impact of Covid-19. Could it be that our sovereign Lord is giving a merciful warning of a more devastating pestilence that awaits those who do not seek Him as their Savior and refuge? During the tribulation, one fourth of the world's population will perish by pestilence, plagues and the sword (Rev. 6:8). More plagues will follow that will kill one third of the remaining population (Rev. 9:18). Another one of the prophetic signs is that of a global government that will be ruled by a dictator who will have "authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation" (Rev. 13:7). He will cause everyone to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and no one will be able to buy or to sell without the mark (Rev. 13:16-17). This world-wide pandemic has been a catalyst for globalists to centralize and digitize data on a growing segment of the world's population. The ultimate goal of the globalist agenda is widespread surveillance and control over people's lives, including our jobs, our religious activities, our medical care, our travel, and our buying and selling. Historically, we have seen that every serious crisis has brought about new opportunities for government control. This coronavirus crisis will eventually pass, but the government will never forget how easy it was to take control of our lives. The World Health Organization is proposing a cashless society because cash may be spreading the coronavirus. To prevent the spread of the disease, they claim we need to use the latest technology to buy and sell. Health experts are turning to technology to take over the contact tracing of the virus. An invisible quantum dot tattoo implant that will track who has been tested for and vaccinated against Covid-19 is now in the works. Countries like Singapore and China are using cellphone-based tools to identify and monitor people who might have been exposed to someone with Covid-19. Google and Apple have partnered to build a Bluetooth-based tracking system that can automatically log people's interactions. The push for a global government, coupled with the necessary tools for surveillance technology, will one day enable the Antichrist to introduce his mark that will control a global economy. Over 180 countries throughout the world have been dealing with the devastating effects of this pandemic. Government enforced lockdowns and stay-at-home orders have produced angry protests, rising unemployment, and economic collapse. The rising death count along with all the fear-mongering and misinformation produced by the liberal media is fanning the flames of hysteria and causing growing confusion and hopelessness. Bill Gates, who is a vocal proponent for population control, has pushed for massive worldwide vaccinations. He recently stated, "Mass public gatherings will not come back 'at all' until we have everyone on the planet covered by vaccines."  The whole world may be primed for an intellectual genius to rise up with all the solutions for a new world order of peace and prosperity. The apostle Paul described him as the man of lawlessness, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship (2 Thes. 2:3-4). He will come in accordance with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders (2 Thes. 2:9). Of course, we do not know when he will appear, because his appearance will be according to our Sovereign Lord's prophetic time clock. When the "beast" does appear, the whole earth will marvel as they follow him (Rev. 13:3).  We have seen how God disciplines His people who go astray and how He judges godless nations with pestilence and famine. The wisest response to God's judgment has always been repentance, faith and obedience to the one true God and Savior. Christians, who have been called out of darkness into the glorious light of our Savior, are not to be troubled or afraid. Our Lord is with us no matter how hopeless the situation or circumstances appear to be. He sovereignly controls everything in His creation, including Covid-19. We do not know what the future holds, but we do know Who holds the future. "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful" (Heb. 10:23)

Our Lady of the Coronavirus Pope Francis offered a prayer to the Virgin Mary, entrusting the whole world to her protection in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Following is part of his prayer, "O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Salvation of the Roman People, you know what we need. We are certain that you will provide. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, we seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas, deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin."  Read more. In light of the pandemic, a Vatican professor said everything that happens is "for the triumph of the Church" and that "the closer the punishment is, the closer will be the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary that Our Lady has promised us." The solution to all this suffering is Our Lady of Fatima. The formula for success is Our Lady of Fatima and to do the following: daily mass where possible, three Hail Mary's, rosary, confession to a priest, consecration of ourselves to Our Lady, wearing the scapular, and the intercession of the saints and guardian angels. Read more. Mike's Comment:  Where is God in the Vatican's messages? In the divinely inspired Scriptures we read, "He (God) alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be upended" (Psalm 62:6). I write this not to be offensive, but to warn Catholics that they need to repent and turn to Christ and His Word, not to Mary or the pope. Knowing that this kind of deception would be widespread, Paul warned: "I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ" (2 Cor. 11:3).

Muslim Governor Urges People to Turn to Mary   In the middle of the emergency caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic, a Muslim Saudi governor has called on people to turn to Mary to find strength, courage and a path to overcome the Covid-19 outbreak. He said, If we look at the Virgin Mary and her son, Jesus, in the Qurʼān, "we'll find one particular story that tells of perseverance" in the quest for "a road map" to "combat struggles and pandemics." The Governor noted, "The story of Mariam (Mary), tells the story of every true victor. The moral of her story is clear; it's through these directives [from God] that success against all struggles and pandemics can be achieved." He said, only "through Mariam the Virgin, will we find the lessons of survival." Currently, Saudi Arabia has the highest number of confirmed Covid-19 cases among Arab Gulf nations. Read more. Mike's Comment: Most people know the importance of Mary to Catholics and how they believe she is the cause of their salvation and how the deliverer of their souls from death. But not many know of her prominence among Muslims. She is the most revered woman of the Muslim faith. Her name is mentioned more often (34 times) in the Quran than in the Bible. Muslims are now seeking messages from Apparitions of Mary at Fatima. We can only wonder if these apparitions are some of the lying signs and wonders Satan will use to unite Catholicism with Islam and build his one-world religion. The messages declare that "Mary" is coming for all her children, including Muslims, Catholics and Protestants, and that people of all religions can be saved apart from Jesus as long as they are good.

Officials in Knox County, Tennessee, are telling local churches to stop conducting communion, to remove Bibles from the pews and to even discourage singing during service.

The county released a “phased reopening” plan which, ironically enough, references several New York City guidelines for its models on how churches should conduct worship even though Knox Co. has no where near as many cases as NYC, nor does it even have the most cases in Tennessee, according to a case map by Tennessean.com.

According to Knox Co.’s own data, the county has had 232 positive cases of Covid-19, with 199 reported recoveries as of the time of this writing.



Now, according to the reopening plan:

– The physical taking of communion/sacrament should not be performed due to the serial breaking of physical distancing across a congregation. Consider guiding parishioners in how to connect with the spiritual aspects of these practices during this phase.

– Singing is discouraged as it is thought to be an activity that expels significantly more virus than talking.

– Deep cleaning should occur between services. Remove all communal items (for example, tithe plates, hymnals, bibles, etc.). If applicable, use a donation box instead of tithe plate.






We’ve reached out to the county to see why New York City guidelines were used instead of guidelines by the State of Tennessee.

The county could potentially put itself at risk for litigation given that government officials are basically telling churches how to conduct worship, especially with the claim about singing.

At some point it might be more prudent for churches to remain closed instead of allowing the government influence over their theology.

This story does bring to mind an incident in China in which Christian churches were forced to replace the Ten Commandments with quotes from Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“Some congregations have been threatened to be blacklisted by the government, meaning that their travels will be restricted and schooling and future employment of their offspring will be impeded if they refused to overhaul their churches according to the current national policies,” according to a journalist who covered the story. “Disobeying the orders means opposition to the Communist Party, officials claimed.”

Now while that incident didn’t take place amid a pandemic, it does underscore the dangers of allowing government inside the church, regardless of the reason.

The Clinton Foundation is working with leftist governors to create a “National Contact Tracing Corps.”





Beware the Contact Tracers

The Public Health mafia (including the Clintons) are speaking in military language about an "army" of "front line" "agents" to question the associations & whereabouts of anyone who tested positive for the stupid v-i-r-u-s. I have lots to say.

MOM PULLS CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL OVER LGBT ADULT "HANGOUT"

MOM PULLS CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL OVER LGBT ADULT "HANGOUT"

An outraged California mother announced on Facebook that she would be pulling her children from public school after receiving an email advertising an online “LGBTQ+ Safe Space Web Hangout” for “LGBTQ+youth ages 13-25.”

According to the advertisement, which was e-mailed to middle-school children by government schools in California's Gilroy and Morgan Hill school district, this “Safe Space Web Hangout” is “private” and by “invite only.” They happen every Wednesday at 4 PM, the email said.

The hangouts are hosted by “The LGBT Youth Space,” a self-styled “community drop-in center” funded by taxpayers for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and ally youth and young adults ages 13-25.” Yes — ages 13 through 25.

Participation in “Safe Space Web Hangout” is via smartphone or phone, with video being optional, the e-mail said.

Parents were shocked. “I cannot believe I just received this email from my child’s middle school,” explained the Hispanic mother, whose name is not being reported even though the comments were made in a public forum because FreedomProject Media could not obtain her consent by press time. “There is so much wrong with this.”

However, rather than just complain online, as so many parents do, this mother decided to take serious action to protect her children. “This is why along with many other reasons they will not be going to go there next year,” she explained, receiving over 500 likes, shares, and comments on the group in less than two days.

Under the post, critics expressed even more intense outrage. One mother, for instance, said the “safe space” was actually a “safe space” for “pedophiles” to “hit on children.” Another outraged mom had similar thoughts: “A government-allowed way to molest and indoctrinate children in a legal way. It makes me SICK!!!”

More than a few commentators suggested the “Safe Space” could be used by pedophiles and child rapists to groom and procure minor children. “They’re not even trying to hide the grooming anymore,” said one Facebook user under the post. Another said: “Pedo sponsored, no doubt.” Dozens of comments expressed similar sentiments.

Stephanie Yates, founder of Informed Parents of California, told The Newman Report that more and more school districts were partnering with LGBTQ groups seeking to solicit children. Still, Yates is thankful for her network's platform, which allows parents to share their personal stories — as the mother above did — and wake up other parents.

“We need more parents to have the boldness and courage to share their experience and the documentation they receive from schools,” Yates said, adding that parents were increasingly being sidelined in communications from education officials. “Schools are sending direct communications to the children through their school emails.”

“Imagine what all the schools are soliciting our children with,” she said. “What is even more frightening is that kids could be going on to these hangouts without parents knowing and by the time parents find out, if they ever do, it will be very hard for a parent to talk with their children about the harms of these groups.”

Among other concerns, comparing it to parents trying to protect their daughter from a bad boyfriend, Yates said these organizations allied with schools are targeting impressionable children and alienating them from their parents. “They lure them in by saying that they care about them, they build an emotional bond and tell them that their parents don't understand or can't be trusted,” she added. “This is pretty much a grooming.”

“Parents need to take a stand, and pull their kids before it happens to their children,” concluded Yates, whose grassroots movement has taken the state by storm.

A bit of digging into the LGBT group reveals some troubling facts. Among other supposed “services,” this tax-funded outfit offering the “Safe Space” for 13- to 25-year old “youth” provides condoms, “safe sex supplies,” “activism and leadership opportunities,” “gender and sexuality workshops” for students, and more, according to its website.

They also provide a “space” where older homosexual men can connect with children as young as 13, it seems.

“The LGBTQ Youth Space is staffed by team of LGBTQ+ and ally community members,” the website continues. “We have diverse backgrounds in fields of social justice, youth development, mental health, social work, sexuality and gender studies, community organizing, public heath, and arts and culture.”

Funded by Substance Use Prevention Services of the Behavioral Health Department in Santa Clara County, California, the scheme is aimed homosexual, bisexual, transgender, “queer,” and other children and adults.

Nobody answered at the listed phone number when contacted by The Newman Report, and the message machine was apparently not set up.

As The Newman Report highlighted in February, Callgbtqifornia lawmakers backed by “Equality California” are working to remove the requirement that homosexual and transgender adults who rape underage children be added to the state's sex-offender registry.

Similarly, educators in the state have been exposed here and in other sources on multiple occasions working to normalize child rape and pedophilia. One school district official was even caught on tape defending the teaching of child rape to children as part of LGBT “history” lessons, claiming it was a “sexual orientation” that “has existed in history.”

Congratulations to this brave mother for speaking out, and even more importantly, for taking bold action to protect her middle-school child from the escalating abuse being perpetrated by government schools. This sort of grotesque extremism will continue to get worse unless and until more parents do the same.
