IN TODAY'S ISSUE:
Defending Catholic Truth and Tradition  
Today we bring you the final part - the seventh installment of a series 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. It created quite a stir with a horror story in the New York Times in late January. Guess what? Those horror stories are true! Today Atila looks at Ratzinger's Preface and then gives his own Conclusion to the document in his final installment of an essay that should truly alarm you regarding the Changes in Doctrine and New Anathemas
Catholic PewPOINT 
Today editor Michael Cain asks "Who do you trust?" Is it those promise breakers in the hierarchy who speak with forked tongue and lead souls closer to perdition in formulating a false religion, one with its roots in the Masonic and Kabalist creed with Communistic consequences or do you trust those remnant voices who stand with St. Athanasius contra mundum in preserving the True Faith? The answer is obviously the latter, but those who stubbornly continue to march in lockstep with the post-conciliar agenda can't see the forest through the trees - the bad trees planted by Vatican II as he reveals in a hard-hitting piece Our Trust Has Been Betrayed!
Doctors of the Church 
Today's Doctor of the Church was another from the 4th century who also faced the intense persecutions and calumnies of the Arian bishops and suffered greatly, never complaining and living a life of austerity while his fellow Arian bishops lived high on the hog. Like his good life-long friend and fellow Doctor of the Church St. Gregory Nazianzen, he,too, came from holy stock and had two brothers who became bishops, a father, mother and sister who became saints. This Bishop of Caesarea, considered the "Orator of Orthodoxy" who we feature as the sixth on the chronological list is Saint Basil the Great

COMING TOMORROW:
Christ or Chaos 
Tuesday Dr. Thomas Droleskey begins a two-part column on why peace cannot be achieved in the Holy Land. There will be no world peace until the world - all men of God accept Christ the King as their Sovereign King and that means both Jew and Arab renouncing their false beliefs and accepting Jesus as the Divine Messiah. Until they do, all attempts to have a lasting truce will be in vain as Tom emphasizes in the first part of his column There Will Never Be Peace Without Christ and His Church
Shears and Tears of a Lamb
Tuesday, Catharine Lamb illustrates the difference between authentic and counterfeit. A true Masterpiece such as the Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is priceless and its value only increases. Something made of plastic - an artificial substance - such as the Novus Ordo, will soon lose its novelty and eventually be discarded and destroyed as Catharine points out in her column Masterpiece or Plastic? For last week's inaugural column by Catharine, see While you were sleeping...
Exspectans exspectavimus Ecclesia Dei 
Tuesday, we look back just over a year ago and read in retrospect Bishop Richard Williamson's words on the talks in Rome and how he could see then Modern Rome was not being forthright and open with the faithful in talks with Bishop Bernard Fellay and the SSPX. In light of the events that have happened since his words ring truer than ever as you'll see in The Truth Will Prevail . For last week's article by Father Don Lourenço Fleichman, O.S.B., see Do not be deceived.
White Smoke, Black Fire!
Tuesday we continue with the fifth episode of chapter seven in Part III - "The Shadowing" as Pat rendezvous with Karel Shenneker in St. Peter's Square, apprehensive about telling her of her mother's gruesome death and that of her uncle Fasif's demise the night before as well. Shadows are everywhere and, to be cautious Karel commits Pat to a cloak and dagger tour while Fr. Niki Andriopoulos goes in search of an old friend to analyze the strange substance he peeled off the inside of the coffin during his clandestine trip to Rome from Iraq the night before. For last week's fourth episode of chapter seven, see Episode Four

LATER THIS WEEK:
"Feed My sheep"   
In Wednesday's issue we addressed the Cardinals, Bishops and Pastors in a respectful, but frank appeal to get their act together as he warns of satan's powerful influence. Indeed, it would seem to the faithful that the prince of the world has these men of the cloth on a string, moving them like puppets of perdition. That has to stop immediately and it will only when these shepherds realize the only way to halt the slide into hell is by returning to the Truths and Traditions that has sustained Holy Mother Church for 2 millennia in our An Open Letter to the Cardinals, Bishops and Priests with A La Salette Travelogue - Have we arrived at the Final Undoing?
Pro Life Prescriptions 
This Wednesday Dr. Frank Joseph points to a pending case that will go before the Supreme Court which all will be watching closely. It deals with the legality of whether pro-aborts can use the RICO statute against pro-life organizations. If the Supreme Court were to rule in the pro-aborts' favor, then, as Frank points out, that would open the floodgates for any one to be accused of anything under RICO statutes. It would be a Pandora's Box that could never be closed, especially in God's book. Dr. Joseph will explain in his column Racketeering: The pro-aborts' latest racket! For his column last week, see PP Piranhas on the "Amazon"
FOCUS
On Wednesday Gary Morella brings to light the lie that the problem of sexual abuse is not a problem of homosexuality. As he rightly will point out, it most definitely is and takes it even further in refuting the back-pedaling weak-kneed cardinals and bishops who refuse to even admit that To Say That You Are A “Gay” Catholic Is To Admit That You Are Not A Catholic.
Simply Sheen
In Wednesday's issue we bring you a short essay by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on why man is so special to God and how as creatures created by Him, we become His children and heirs of Heaven. It is not because of our nature but by the graces of the Triune Divinity that we are gifted with partaking of God's Divine Nature as Bishop Sheen briefly explains in It's the Nature of God's Will! For last week's SIMPLY SHEEN, see We may have the will, but not the way if we insist on our own will
Appreciating the Precious Gift of our Faith
 
Thursday we take a break from our catechesis on the Sacrament of Penance to honor the Ascension of Our Lord into Heaven. This glorious feast celebrates Christ's last appearance on earth, the time of His humanity which was fulfilled. Ten days later His promise of leaving His Spirit would be fulfilled for He would be with His Church for all time as you'll see in The Ascension. For last week's installment on the Sacrament of Penance, see Purpose of Amendment
Echoes of True Catholicism
Dr. Marian Therese Horvat will return with her regular weekly column after giving up her slot the past three weeks to bring you the blockbuster review of the heretical Jewish Document released by the Pontifical Biblical Commission. Thursday Dr. Horvat will share powerful advice pointing out that while the Heavenly Father has given us excellent advice in the Ten Commandments, seeing that those laws are kept is part of the duties of a parent. Too often too many are concerned about what other people might think, while not ever considering what God thinks. Big mistake! as she explains in her column A Father's Good Advice to a Daughter For her last column, see Votive Candles, Fire, and the Love of God.
Christ or Chaos
Thursday Dr. Thomas Droleskey will complete a two-part column on why peace cannot be achieved in the Holy Land. There will be no world peace until the world - all men of God accept Christ the King as their Sovereign King and that means both Jew and Arab renouncing their false beliefs and accepting Jesus as the Divine Messiah. Until they do, all attempts to have a lasting truce will be in vain as Tom emphasizes in the second part of his column There Will Never Be Peace Without Christ and His Church
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 focuses on Chapter Five with Part One of The Apostolic Constitution of Pope Paul VI, Missale Romanum For last week's installment, see The Language of the "New Mass".
Traditional Insights 
On Friday Mario Derksen will continue with his series on the The Humanism of John Paul II with his 6th installment in which he provides the second part of his rebuttal to the arguments advanced by a FSSP priest who praised the Pope's Assisi fiasco. The Mass of All Ages that sustained and nourished saints and sinners for two millennia has been suppressed in favor of different confessions praying in their own traditions to false gods in direct violation of the First Commandment: "I am the Lord Thy God, thou shalt not have strange gods before Me!" as Mario explains in part six in his column Assisi Revisited: Responding to a Defense (II) For the first part last week, see Assisi Revisited: Responding to a Defene (I)
Christ or chaos
In Friday's issue Dr. Thomas Droleskey continues his popular series on G.I.R.M. Warfare when he analyzes paragraph 95 and then 96 which is actually redundant and just as ambiguous as 95 in intimidating the faithful into believing the claptrap of community solidarity. If someone would dare to focus on Christ at Mass, the sole purpose for being there, the Stalinist liturgists could accuse them of divisiveness as Tom points out in his 46th installment, Rigid Ridiculousnes. For Tom's installment last week, see The Rise and Fall of the Permanent Deaconate.
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 1984 through 1990 in part three of Chronology of a Cover-Up For last week's segment from Vatican II through 1983, see part two of Chronology of a Cover-Up.

"The heresy long ago disseminated by the enemy of truth. Arius grew to a shameless height and like a bitter root it is bearing its pernicious fruit and already gaining the upper hand since the standard-bearers of the true doctrine in the individual parishes have been driven from the churches by defamation and insult and the authority they were vested with has been handed over to such as captivate the hearts of the simple in mind." "The whole Church is in dissolution."
Saint Basil the Great

Today in Church History
The ouster of the Knights Templar
 Today is the 690th anniversary of the closing of the Council of Vienne by Pope Clement V in 1312. Begun in October 1311, this fifteenth General Council was memorable for the measures the Church took in abolishing the Knights Templar mandating that all their property be turned over to the Hospitallers who were the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. From this action the Masonic movement evolved. It is said that disciples of Jacque de Molay, a leading Templar swore on his grave they would destroy the Church. Sadly, we can see today the terrible damage and revenge they have wrought from within.
In each issue we will feature a special prayer to enhance your Catholic devotions

O God, Who seest that on every side we are afflicted by our evils; deny us not, we entreat Thee, the safeguard of the glorious intercession of blessed John Thine apostle and evangelist.
