LATER THIS WEEK:
"Feed My sheep"   
In Wednesday's issue Dr. Edward Ciaccio provides a scenario of the majestic apparition site of La Salette high in the Western Alps of France and how those messages from Our Lady foretold of these times and how our failure to recognize the Blessed Mother's warning has contributed to the malaise she alerted us of over a century and a half ago. Ed relates in his column A La Salette Travelogue - Have we arrived at the Final Undoing? For his column last week, see An Assisi Travelogue - Have we arrived at the Final Undoing?.
Pro Life Prescriptions 
This Wednesday Dr. Frank Joseph takes to task the popular Amazon.com website for their hypocrisy in aligning with organizations who sanction and promote the killing of the unborn. He shows why Amazon.com is no longer safe to navigate for beneath their veneer of protecting the customer, beneath the ripples of rules they claim to hold, lurk the deadly piranhas of Planned Parenthood. Dr. Joseph will explain in his column PP Piranhas on the "Amazon" For his column last week, see Wrestling with Satan's Book of Pedophilia
FOCUS
On Wednesday, to find out what really was behind the meeting in Rome last week with the red-hats all gathering and posturing we present a piece from James Bendell of Roman Catholic Faithful at www.rcf.org which is a study in Orwellian Newspeak in translating the Text of the Cardinal's Communiqué in Reading Between the Lines
Simply Sheen
In Wednesday's issue we bring you a short essay by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on why we must die of ourselves, must renounce sin in order for God to lift us higher. By and of ourselves we have a will, but not a way unless we seek Christ's help and allow our will to submit to God's Will as he briefly explains in We may have the will, but not the way if we insist on our own will For last week's SIMPLY SHEEN, see Time: A prison or a novitiate for eternity?
Defending Catholic Truth and Tradition  
Thursday we bring you the sixth installment of a critique written by Atila Sinke Guimarães, with Dr. Marian Therese Horvat assisting in translating and editing an orthodox, Traditional, true Roman Catholic response in seven installments to the flawed document "The Hebrew People in its Holy Scriptures and the Christian Bible" issued late last year by the Vatican's Pontifical Biblical Commission. Atila will examine the conclusions of the document and the denial of Anathemas which, are in fact, very much anathema in the eyes of Christ and His Church as Atila points out in an essay that should truly alarm you regarding the Changes in Doctrine and New Anathemas
FOCUS
On Thursday, we'll focus on how the revelations of the sexual abuse scandals are sodomy sins than pedophilia per se and why homosexual militants are scrambling to defuse this ticking time bomb against political correctness in an article by Allyson Smith on Homosexual Groups Go into Spin Mode on Catholic Crisis
Appreciating the Precious Gift of our Faith
 
Thursday we will continue to focus on contrition in respect to amending our life and what that entails. Before sin can be forgiven there must be a firm purpose to not sin again. Yes, we will sin, but we must try and try again for sanctity. We present on Thursday the fifth part in our 271st installment taken from My Catholic Faith in Purpose of Amendment. For last week's installment on the Sacrament of Penance, see Perfect and Imperfect Contrition
The Great Sacrilege
Father James F. Wathen, O.S.J. has granted permission to publish his entire work which was first published by Tan Books in 1972, and which we urge you to read for everything he wrote back then is backed by the solid depositum fidei - the Sacred Deposit of the Faith and still holds true. It takes up where the Ottaviani Intervention left off as you'll see in Thursday's issue when Father addresses how the influence of error allowed the Revolution to so deeply deceive the faithful and obliterate truths and tradition held so sacrosanct for nearly two millennia. He will explain in Part Nineteen of Chapter Four The Language of the "New Mass" For the third section, see Ecumenism.
Traditional Insights 
On Friday Mario Derksen will continue with his series on the The Humanism of John Paul II with his 5th installment in which he refutes arguments by a FSSP priest who praised the Pope's Assisi fiasco. Truly the Crisis in the Church has reached a state of emergency with heresy, corruption and confusion roaring out of control and the "Fire Chief" is only pouring gasoline on the fire with more abominations such as the ecumaniacal Assisi sessions as Mario explains in part five in his column Assisi Revisited: Responding to a Defense (I) For his column last week, see Humanism and Novelty
FOCUS
On Friday, we'll focus on how the American Bishops have created their own monster in a short article by George Neumayr that provides evidence they were warned years ago and have chosen to ignore a problem which is now imploding the entire post-conciliar Church as you'll see in In the Absence of Faith .
Christ or chaos
 
In Friday's issue Dr. Thomas Droleskey continues his popular series on G.I.R.M. Warfare when he analyzes paragraph 94 in showing how the permanent deacons in so many parishes have hindered vocations to the priesthood and to compound the problems, many of these deacons are not properly grounded in their faith and are being allowed to spread heresy with no one to keep them in check as he points out in his 45th installment, The Rise and Fall of the Permanent Deaconate . For Tom's installment last week, see Alter Christus, not altar personalities!.
The Fatima FILE 
On Friday we continue a chronological account of the cover-up by Modern Rome as documented by Father Paul Kramer and brought to you through the good graces and permission of John Vennari, editor of Catholic Family News. Friday we present the time frame from the end of Vatican II through 1983 in part two of Chronology of a Cover-Up For last week's introduction, see part one of Chronology of a Cover-Up.

 "...there is even a greater danger and a more manifest opposition to Catholic doctrine and discipline in that opinion of the lovers of novelty, according to which they hold such liberty should be allowed in the Church, that her supervision and watchfulness being in some sense lessened, allowance be granted the faithful, each one to follow out more freely the leading of his own mind and the trend of his own proper activity...there can be no manner of doubt that our venerable brethren, the bishops of America, would be the first to repudiate and condemn it as being most injurious to themselves and to their country."
Pope Leo XIII
Letter to the American Bishops on 'Americanism', January 1899

Today in Church History
Blessed honors for the one who paved the way for grace in the New World
 Twelve years ago today the visionary of Guadalupe Juan Diego was beatified by John Paul II who will travel to Mexico this July to canonize the peasant whom Our Lady chose to impart her message of ending human sacrifice and bringing into her Divine Son's Church, through the miracle of the roses and the tilma in 1531, hundreds of thousands of souls to balance the exodus of so many in Europe during the Protestant Reformation.
In each issue we will feature a special prayer to enhance your Catholic devotions
  
Prayer for the Feast of Saint Peter of Verona
Grant we beseech Thee, O Almighty God, that with fitting devotion we may follow the faith of blessed Peter, Thy martyr, who in the spreading of that same faith, was found worthy to win the palm of martyrdom. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
From the Collect for today's Mass
