The Church Militant

The "T" is for Transhuman

THE SADDEST DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN CANADA

I just found this post about the

Tragedy at Winnipeg: the Canadian Catholic Bishops’ Statement on Humanae Vitae”

From this article:

"Canada Before Humanae Vitae

The Church’s teaching against artificial contraception was constant and unchallenged from within until the early sixties of this century. "

Please pray for our shepherds!!

There has been some change in perspective, but as far as I know there has been no official renunciation of this horror.

There is more here than the title suggests.
We must needs analize our lives and our souls.
Then take it all to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
THOUGHTFULLY.
Be prepared for Mass.
Take time after you receive to talk to our Heavenly Physician.

LOVE AND TOLERANCE (Link)

Here's a link to a post that expresses what I often try to say in this secular society.

https://thesparkandtheflame.blogspot.com/2013/07/love-and-tolerance.html

From the above post:

" Hence love entails truth and truth always entails not only the recognition of what is, but what ought to be. It may entail recognizing that a thing that is, should not be. "

We have to recognize that there are things in our society that DO exist but should not exist.

Poverty exists. Disease exists. Pornography exists. Rape exists. Gender disorder exists as does homosexuality.
These are some examples of things that exist that, out of Love, we ought not tolerate.

If our vocation is marriage then, out of Love and Truth, it's prime purpose is not 'romantic love' but rather procreation.
Same-sex attraction is a terrible cross to bear. The people who give in to their disordered problem can never be married, no matter what a government may say. Common sense, science, and logic show that they can never produce offspring.

As with so many people in difficult circumstances, they need our true love and prayers!

Why Do 2/3 of Catholics NOT Believe in the Eucharist? Recent Pew Poll Re...

My personal comment on the subject of the two videos below on Catholic unbelief in Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist:

One (of many) advantages of being a convert: Before coming home to the Catholic Church (from 'low-church' Anglicanism) I had already accepted the idea of transubstantiation. For Marian doctrines however I really struggled. Then I was able to accept all teachings for I was converting to The Church that Jesus established. The Church that taught with divine authority. That made things, um, "easy". If The Church taught it I simply had to accept it. My _reason_ resulted in _faith_ . We all need to be taught about The Church and her authority and how The Church proceeds the bible. We need to be taught to accept the hard teachings of Our Lord. *AND* We must do away with the ordinary, every-day things that contaminate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass ... Dress up to receive the King of the Universe; No more ordinary language (the Anglicans used Old(er) English just to set the worship apart from the rest of life); Don't treat the church like some social club or meeting room (IE, be as silent as you can); HARDEST OF ALL (because it involves changing a part of the Mass we've been troubled with since abou 1970) -- DO AWAY WITH THE "SIGN OF PEACE" right after bread and wine become God!!!

Here are a couple of discussions about our poor Catholic brethren who do not believe a VERY central teaching of The Church:
