Women Cardinals & Communism Is a Religion
More Homo-eroticism at the Vatican
Via this article from Daily Mail [here] I was made aware of the Pope's Audience on Feb. 7th, in which he had circus people at the hall to entertain the audience (for whatever reason is beyond me). If one can stomach it, one can watch the entire Audience [here].
Without going into too much detail, the acrobat who is pictured kneeling before the Pope is wearing pants that don't even cover all of his rear! He is practically nude! And he is performing in front of young boys!! And, naturally, the Pope has a large grin on his face.
This "acrobat" looks more at home at a "Gay Pride" Parade!
Kind regards,
M.A.B.

Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder
Found these words [below] on a placard at the entrance to Regis University Library in Denver. This is a university in the Jesuit "tradition." I will say that the place is generous with its library.
I live nearby, have a library card, and use their services frequently. But the place is run by fools.
P.B.
To undocumented students: you belong here.
To black students: your lives matter here.
To Muslim students: you are welcome here.
To Hispanic students: you are valued here.
To female students: you are respected here.
To homeless students: may you feel at home here.
To LGBTQ students: you are perfect the way you are.
To students with a disability: you are able.
To all students: you have the voice and the power to change this world for the better.

Women to Become Cardinals
This Italian site has published a news report about declarations of Cardinal Tobin, which I am translating to English.
Women deacons, women cardinals, we see that the road to have women ordained priests is opened.
Receive my blessing.
Fr. Paul Alvarez
The modernist cardinal of Newark, Joseph Tobin, does not believe there is a "stringent theological reason" why the pope cannot name a woman a cardinal.
Speaking in the New York Times (December 22), Tobin asserts that in the 19th century there were laymen who became cardinals. At the same time Tobin admitted that "perhaps my theology is not sophisticated enough".
In the past, a cardinal received at least one tonsure by which they became clerics. They were appointed cardinals on condition of being ordained, or they lost the cardinal's hat by getting married.

Putin Shows His Colors
I believe your readers will benefit from knowing the full text available of Putin declarations defending Communism and comparing it to a religion.
It is a good document to keep in your files when so many pretend that Russia has converted and Putin is a new Constantine who will save Christendom. I am sending you below the most important declarations.
Another one, not transcribed in the RT (Russia Today) report [below], is at the end of this video, when Putin laughs at the idea that he is the savior of the Western Civilization.
Thank you TIA for warning us about this new communist plot, when so many conservatives and even traditionalists fell into the trap.
In Jesus through Mary,
P.M.
Lenin’s body like saintly relics
Russian President Vladimir Putin has likened Communism to Christianity and Vladimir Lenin’s mausoleum in Moscow’s Red Square to the veneration of the relics of saints.
“Maybe I’ll say something that someone might dislike, but that’s the way I see it,” Putin said in an interview for the documentary Valaam, an excerpt of which was broadcast on Russia 1. “First of all, faith has always accompanied us, becoming stronger every time our country, our people, have been through hard times.
“There were those years of militant atheism when priests were eradicated, churches destroyed, but at the same time a new religion was being created. Communist ideology is very similar to Christianity, in fact: freedom, equality, brotherhood, justice – everything is laid out in the Holy Scripture, it’s all there. And the code of the builder of Communism? This is sublimation, it’s just such a primitive excerpt from the Bible, nothing new was invented.”
Putin went further by comparing the communists’ attitude to the Bolshevik leader Lenin to the veneration of saints in Christianity. “Look, Lenin was put in a mausoleum. How is this different from the relics of saints for Orthodox Christians and just for Christians? When they say that there’s no such tradition in Christianity, well, how come, go to Athos and take a look, there are relics of the saints there, and we have holy relics here,” Putin concluded.
After Lenin died in 1924, his body was embalmed and put on display in a mausoleum in Red Square, Moscow. The cult of Lenin was part of Soviet ideology. The public debate about the possibility of giving Lenin’s remains a proper burial began during the early days of Perestroika in the 1980s.
Putin’s words were music to the ears of Communist Party members. “I think these words of the president very effectively and reasonably smooth out the acute angles around the theme of the mausoleum,” Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Ivan Melnikov said on Sunday, as cited by Interfax.
He said however, that “communists and all the leftist patriotic forces [in Russia] understand that Communism is close to Christianity as much as the form of Capitalism that exists in our country and our economy today is far from Christianity.”
Earlier this year, Gennadiy Zyuganov, the head of the Russian Communist Party, said Putin had promised him that as long as he remains president, Lenin’s body would remain in the mausoleum in Red Square.
“As long as I sit here, there will be no barbarism in Red Square,” the communist chief quoted Putin as saying at a conference with Russian party leaders.
According to Zyuganov, Putin also dismissed allegations that Lenin was not buried in accordance with Christian traditions. “As far as the form of the burial is concerned, they used the one that is also used in Orthodox Christianity – he lies a meter and a half below the ground level. Sepulchres and cave burials have been known for a long time,” Putin said, according to Zyuganov.

I learned today that the indoctrination of tolerance continues at warp speed.
Heads of university offices of academic affairs must now embrace diversity teaching via “bias education” to all, especially those who hold any kind of adherence to right and wrong or traditional thoughts on gender. Each class must be examined to assure there is some sort of presentation of acceptance and/or teaching that it is discriminatory to identify young women and men without first asking them how they wish to be addressed; this teaching is to be presented for all future professionals.
In addition, the new teachings from the LGBT community is that they wish to be called non-binary, and the pronouns we should all use from now on include: hir (pronunciation “here") used in place of her or his, and ze in place of them and their. I suspect there are more “rules” we must follow to conform to their wishes.
The assault on God’s order continues. Surely, this cannot continue much longer.
Your trusted friend in the Faith,
