Some of the lesser (and greater) known Candlemas Traditions
The older orders – especially those that pray the Little Office of The Blessed Virgin Mary celebrate Christmastide in prayer – season and liturgy until Candlemas and or Septuagesisma Sunday, the movable (gregorian dating) start of pre-lent that comes from the Catholic Church’s setting of the Easter date every year for all of Western Christianity (still to this day) – In some orders it is one or the other and other orders which ever comes first Septuagesisma or the Purificaton, as Candlemas is a (Julian) fixed date 40 days after the birth of Christ
The Mother of God subjects herself to the Purification and Presentation of The Son of God not out of need but in order to fulfill the prophesy that would come to pass within the domain of “‘under the law” of Moses
Among the lost traditional Catholic customs being restored is to let a blessed candle burn all night on this Feast day before an icon of Our Lady. When the world still had forests everywhere, her intercession was relied upon to keep the wolves away during these cold nights. Now, our “wolves” tend to be of a different sort, (protecting our families from the wolves within the Church) but the pious burning of a blessed candle with prayers offered to Our Lady, is still called upon to help keep them at bay as well as several other associated devotions
Various countries decorate the candles brought from home to be blessed in different ways with symbols and ribbons.
The Candlemas Polish name — “Matka Boska Gromniczna,” or “Mother of God of the Blessed Thunder Candle.”
On the 40th and last day of Christmas my true love sent to me two turtle doves for Sacrifice
The weather on Candlemas is also an indication of early or late Spring to be followed by the Weds Friday and Saturday Lenten Embertide days in the week following Ash Wednesday
Catholic small “t” tradition has it like the other three of our seasons a predictor of the weather for the next three months
In Lenten Embertide Weds should indicate March weather – Friday should indicate April weather and Saturday should indicate May weather
Other associated festal recommendations
Galanthus nivalis- the common snow drop flower or white carnations are the flower for the table or mantle or home Altar for this feast’s tradition
Crepes Suzette or Tamales- and or hot chocolate are traditional to Candlemas
Dinner should be served with the majority of the regular house candles lit

CMTV Episode of Mic’d Up: An Explosion of Tradition In The Catholic Church
……The Traditional Latin Mass is exploding, both in the United States and overseas. This is in marked contrast to the number of those attending the Ordinary Rite of the Mass. With the Novus Ordo largely being improperly celebrated in most parishes and Catholic teaching neglected, the average parish is shrinking, if it hasn’t been closed already.
But there is one area of the Church where the decline is reversing itself. The Latin Mass was largely celebrated only in pockets here and there, but these began to multiply after Pope St. John Paul II granted an indult to celebrate the Latin Mass. The Latin Mass began to really get traction after the release of Pope Benedict’s “Summorum Pontificum.”…………..

Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, Lex Vivendi. As we Worship, So we Believe, So we Live
But is it really just about the choice of Liturgy or ?! is it also and sometimes more so – an allegiance and immersion in a more authentically Catholic – theology – doctrine – dogma – tradition – morals – rubrics and a way of living together as a Catholic culture – A revival of Sacred Music – Art – The Classics – Architecture – Scholastics and Traditional Catholic Education resident with and within it.
The research shows that in the US alone over 2000 Novus Ordo parishes have closed and an uncountable amount of their affiliated Diocesan schools have shut their doors – On the dramatic rise are Vocations to the traditional Orders – the expressions of the old traditional devotions – the establishment of traditional Catholic grammar schools and High Schools, the rising enrollment at the relatively new traditional Catholic Colleges of – Christendom – Ave Maria – Wyoming Catholic – Mary Magedelan College and Saint Thomas Aquinas (both west coast and New Hampshire)
The Liturgy is a given, as we already know – in the US alone there now over 500 communities able to express their Faith, adhering to the Traditional Catholic Rite – The job now and for the past 2 + years, as these communities grow organically by themselves once exposed to the fullness of Truth, has moved to an effort of the lay Faithful and traditional Catholic apostolates to unite them with each other in various ways and with the support of the faithful and traditional Catholic Bishops !
This means the reestablishment of the structures of the ancient Catholic work guilds – the 3rd Orders – Altar Server Societies – Outdoor Rosary Rally Groups -The Legion of Mary and The Militia of the Immaculate – to work “together ” nationally towards authentic Catholic re-education – and for the preparation in apostolates for the consecration of families, the consecration of other countries and even of Russia –an authentic restoration !
It has already begun in several sectors
with a Traditional Knights of Columbus organization uniting traditional Knights Councils into one traditional fraternal organization from New England to Florida
with organizations like Tradition Family and Property seeking to penetrate the culture and bring the men back through honor and glory and Truth as seen also in their subsidiary organization TFP Student Action present in many Colleges – and committed to bringing chivalry back to campuses with honorable ways of living
Traditional High Mass photos following the March For Life at Saint Mary’s in DC – amongst the congregation were two bus fulls of Holy Innocents folks, with the Holy Innocents Vox en Roma choir in full throttle
The new website is preparing for the Sesquicentennial 150th of Holy Innocents in the fall of this year of our Lord 2016 and sure to be celebrated in traditional Catholic style
Most Pure Heart of Mary Schola Cantorum suddenly began singing Silent Night at the Church of Saint John Lateran in Rome. Upon entering for the first time the children became overtaken with the beauty of a large traditional Catholic Church -the 2nd Church (the 1st of which they also sang together in unscheduled fashion in their visit ) was Saint Peter in Chains
This named Church I might add is of a suppressed Feast in the new Rite(Saint Peter in Chains) that cannot have it’s own patronal province Feast celebrated except in the Traditional Rite )
Traditional Sacred music in the Liturgy of the new Rite as mandated by Vatican II continues to be suppressed in the new Rite in both composition and singing
How Well Did They Actually Implement the Vatican II Sacrosanctum Concilium – Scripture in the Mass –
Priests and Liturgists highlight the correct form in the Council documents – on Novus Motus Liturgicus
Liturgical abuse occurs regularly with heretical music – see link to incredible story that has become quite shockingly regular – “Not Your Grandmother’s Creed” “
The same Bishops, not coincidentally, that are calling for Faithful Catholic leaders to help re-Catholicize their Dioceses are the ones ordering the re-centering of the Holy of Holies Tabernacle of the Lord in the Sanctuary and are calling for the slow implementation of Ad Orientum Worship to the Novus Ordo – no more protestantized gathering around an Altar table and holding hands at a happy meal Liturgy and then after holding hands with two strangers potentially in mortal sin you go and take the Body of the Lord from a female lay person into your hands and then drink out of a Chalice that dozens of people are drinking out of in an inner city – Not only are these things not Catholic they are egregious Liturgical abuses that violate both the Old Rite’s Canon Law as well as the new Rite’s Canon Law and the Sacrosanctum Concilium (Constitution on the Liturgy of Vatican II) but the average Catholic refuses to do their own research and or fearlessly confront these Pastors and Bishops that make up the other half of our Church – They are just not there yet – whether it’s Cardinal virtues – courage -fortitude whichever the case may be – no one is condemned just encouraged to educate themselves as to what the Truths are as they can be found …..they are out there waiting for you
The Following Feature article – scanned for your review
In this time of Crisis in the Church what stands in the way of uniting a return back to Catholicism from the 500 Traditional Rite Communities in the US alone – distinctly- it is movements within the Church that believe themselves to be authentically Catholic (even with bi-partisan Vatican support of ideologies supporting the idea of a divided and or segregated Church) that are NOT Catholic or are marginally Catholic and the source of the division of Catholic Restoration
In that same vain is an apologetics article by an author and a scholar Kevin J Symonds who himself was in the heart of it – on the front lines at a place that enabled him to follow both Charismatic Catholic movement and Traditional Catholicism – having studied both and earned his Masters Degree of Theology at Steubenville he describes for us in detail the Calvinistic theology of the Charismatic Renewal as well as the philosophies of “Naturalism” he confronted that has moved into so many of these new liturgical movements having sprung off the new Rite –
The same is seen with “The Theology of the Body” and it’s entire of school of interpretation and implementation that sprung off the theology of Christopher West’s interpretations of Saint Pope John Paul II’s loose (and private) philosophy writings. Christopher West, admittedly, himself a deviant strayed Catholic, having been exposed since his Catholic reversion only to the Charismatic Renewal and it’s philosophical theologies and it’s un-Catholic understanding of healing
Kevin J Symonds then re-surveys the landscape and sees a devastated vineyard of absence-In a field of denomination changing and false ecumenism in every locale except ! everywhere the Traditional Rite has taken hold This ground is where he finds established families of Faith and Patriarchy – honor- the re-establishment of Catholic decendencies and a return to order.

Alice Von Hildebrand – renown Catholic author – theologian and wife of the late great Dietrich Von Hildebrand was just interviewed (in a televised interview) and wanted to stress not only the need of the people to return to Traditional Catholicism but repeatedly confirming that the Church has been infiltrated
What does that mean?- That means that one can be in a movement supported by a Priest – a Bishop and or a Vatican official and it could be NOT Catholic and unbeknownst to the untrained eye uniquely contributing to the crisis in the Church that is to be overcome and awaits its full restoration under the title of Christ The King

The_Battle_of_Lepanto_of_1571_Soldiers_detail_by_Juan_Luna where many Catholic Knights perished while fighting for our Trinitarian Lord and their Bishops
Quoted from “Solidarity with Islam? –On Crisis Magazine” is an excerpt from a very fact based article
“That the Catholic leadership has not thought very deeply about this “fellowship-in-faith” business is demonstrated by the fact that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ main dialogue partner is the Islamic Society of North America. For the last two decades, the bishops have been seeking greater fellowship with a Muslim Brotherhood front group that was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the nation’s largest terrorist funding case. In his bookCatastrophic Failure, Stephen Coughlin makes a convincing case that ISNA and other Muslim Brotherhood groups are simply using the bishops to further their agenda of bringing sharia law to America. And once that happens, Muslims will not be seeking fellowship with Catholics, they will be seeking dominance over them.”
Blasphemy: Koran Suras Recited Over the Grave of St. Martin of Tours

In addition to polygamy (multiple wives and subservience of the female race) at the heart of their belief system it is a religious belief that stems from Polytheism ( the belief in multiple pagan gods) – It’s a crescent moon because for the first 150 years of their apostasy they were worshiping multiple gods – as mohammad himself did not believe in one god. His descendants then chose the moon god as the most powerful one and to become their god- the persecutory religion of the quran is what today’s apostasy has morphed into
When I look at Our Lady of Guadalupe there are two things that always strike me immediately – The Incarnation that the creator is about to enter his own creation in that the Mother of God is with child and that her feet are standing on the crescent moon

Fighting Abortion at its Core: A Call for a Return to Order -On Tradition, Family, and Property
The Return To Order discusses the role of the Traditional family and traditional Catholic families in united apostolates in orthodox fashion as the primary source of Restoration of the Faith and the land – Last year we had the privilege of attending a talk and book signing by the author and TFP apostolate leader John Horvat II near Willmington, DE
It should be noted that the success of the March for Life was largely a traditional Catholic movement of united lay faithful that was largely hindered and fought against for many years behind the scenes by the American Catholic Bishops and of course the total black out of the mainstream media – only being addressed formally for the first time this year (see next article )
The TFP legion behind tall flag – bagpipe and drum will be near the forefront for sure – But the lead in this year’s March will be given to the Lutheran youth in keeping with the new push by the Catholic hierarchy to make this 500th Anniversary of the apostate ex-Catholic priest, in making Lutheranism somehow part of Catholicism
The hatred that Martin Luther, and the German Lutheran church in general, had for Catholics – for hundreds of years, was unprecedented
Unlike the Church of England (Anglicanism /Episcopalianism) that was not very well accepted on an international level nor was John Calvin’s presbyterianism anything more than a philosophical mind of ideologies that sought to infiltrate the thinking of the Catholic Church, the motus oporandi of Lutheranism was always to directly and publicly oppose the Catholic Church to it’s face
Some of Luther’s thesis and polemics against the Catholic Church were re-published recently in various places – very little of which is re-publishable here due to the regular and repeated obscenity that Martin Luther and his new religion organizers routinely spewed- A story for another day – God willing
WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE ?
If this becomes the first year that the Catholic March For Life Begins To Be Infiltrated by The Establishment Catholic Church and the new post conciliar –syncretistic agenda – it has yet be proven out As we, at this point, (pending a postmortem of tomorrow’s event,) can only pray against it
There has already been a serious reduction seen (in the past several years of the protest Marches ) of the regular visibility of the evils of contraception – as well as it’s education- and literature distribution at the event.
Anyone that knows the history and the relationship of Abortion to Sacred Scriptures and Sacred Tradition knows that it not only goes all the way through to the post French revolution – post US civil war era of a crescending push of the sexual revolution into the world from the base of the United States but knows that …………ground zero on this issue is contraception and abortifacients !
I have read more than several an orthodox presented text book on the Catholic Social teaching(s) on the history of the Abortion battle but none of them are able to accomplish a summary of what took weeks of reading & research (including the Griswold and Baird cases) in what Michael Voris, most impressively, was able to sum up “the history of” and it’s trajectory within ten minutes ! in this video episode – wow
In breaking news – A coalition of pro-life groups has united to nationally expose the propaganda of the media in demanding that the mainstream media fairly cover the March for Life.

Therefore it is truly a war of both unseen forces from the other realm and those materialized against the Incarnate
But this war may not be televised – even as it rages
The evil opposition may appear ominous but our army – as in the days of old – they will hear even before they see us ascend ‘the hill’
While the prince of this world may even be able to arrange adverse weather we will not be taken aback by cold – or snow or frost – These children had no such choices at being able to fight for their own freedom
Remember the Braveheart speech on the battle field of William Wallace with tyranny and corruption amassed from within and without against them And if we could gather up all the days from this day until our last we would not trade this day, in whatever adversities comes for us to endure, for anything in the world
We will remember the Psalmist in Psalm 46 ‘God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. ‘
Raymond Ibrahim: Hating Americans Is Official Saudi and Qatari Policy
From the Saudi Government’s official web site – The same Saudi Arabia that is partnered with Wall Street and hundreds of Washington DC executives
Saudi Arabia’s Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Issuing Fatwas—which issues religious decrees that become law—issued a fatwa, or decree, titled, “Duty to Hate Jews, Polytheists, and Other Infidels.” Written by Sheikh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz (d. 1999), former grand mufti and highest religious authority in the government, it still appears on the website. According to this governmentally-supported fatwa, Muslims—that is, the entire Saudi citizenry—must “oppose and hate whomever Allah commands us to oppose and hate, including the Jews, the Christians, and other mushrikin [non-Muslims],
Why Did Francis Visit the Mosque in Bangui?… by Margaret C. Galitzin
Francis sabotages the self-defense fight
So, what did Francis do? He did not encourage the Catholic resistance and preach a crusade against the Muslims, as many would desire. He did the opposite, of course. He went to the Mosque of the city and, in a clear propaganda move, surrounded by imans and Muslim children, he greeted the group as “dear Muslim friends and followers of Islam.”
Then, he proceeded to preach peace and brotherhood: “Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters,” he said.
Francis warmly greets Muslims in the Grand Mosque of Bangui, one of the few left standing
In view of the war going on outside the door, nothing could be more favorable to the Muslims. But Francis actually found something more unrealistic to say next. Against all evidence, he insisted that the reasons for the fight are “not grounded in properly religious motives.”
No, for Francis, it is not a religious war at all. He did not specify what it really was, but from his other comments in Africa, he would probably blame Capitalism, the diamond trade, or perhaps even climate change for the mutual killing that is going on today in the CAR.
Rather than a war time Pontiff calling for the re-establishment of the Catholic armies of the new covenantal peoples – in his trip partly arranged by the Masonic UN delegates he urges the only country with (CAR) Catholic Militias to stop fighting
It is not clear as to whether the Pope and the UN delegates on this trip are recommending Catholics surrender to the Muslims without converting or also with conversion
Pope to visit mosque next week? : News Headlines | Catholic Culture
The syncretism will extend to Rome as he will address a cadre of 12,000 in their central Mosque giving them the same message that he gave the Mosque in Africa we are the same – we are brothers that worship the same God and we have no religious differences
If he continues to insist upon this message – as long as it continues to be refuted by high ranking prelates of the Catholic Church as well as it’s theologians and doctors – We have a chance of remaining for yet a while longer a Catholic Church without a second major schism
If the last front of the last line gives in and convinces this very false ideological theology to be true that we must soon to be draw the conclusion that the neo- establishment Catholic Church IS worshiping a different God than the one true Trinitarian Eucharistic Lord of all
The mystery of ISIS is that it is considered as “authentic orthodox muslim” by the majority of the world’s non-ISIS muslim population. In direct opposition to the false ideology the new Catholic hierarchy has to say about them the majority believes that one day the world will be an “ISIS type caliphate” and that the Quran as this as inevitable
Therefore this is assault to the majority of them is not that outrageous but their slow progress as it should be
Something that cannot be erased from the EWTN archives without raising suspicion of contributing to the construction of the new religion at large can be found within :
THE GREAT HERESIES by Hilaire Belloc- Chapter Four – ‘The history of’ The Great and Enduring Heresy of Mohammed
Further, I vow to deliver the Christians languishing in slavery, to exalt the true Faith, and to extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet of the East. For there the light of faith is almost completely extinguished. If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten. Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee. If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy, God and His holy Gospel help me. Amen. (1)
Among the similar proclamations of many a Catholic Pope Calixtus III, in the 15th Century, said:
“Further, I vow to deliver the Christians languishing in slavery, to exalt the true Faith, and to extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet of the East. For there the light of faith is almost completely extinguished. If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten. Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee. If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy, God and His holy Gospel help me. Amen.”

A basic who’s who list of high ranking prelates in complete dissidence
NCR openly promotes women in the Priesthood – Lesbian and Gay relationships to be so called “normalized “ as well as the promotion of contraception programs and proposed “partnering” with Planned Parenthood
Does anyone think that NCR will have a booth or a point of presence at the March for Life or will yet another article on misguided Catholics be published for the world to see amidst the sinful silence of our Catholic Bishops ?!
Posted on Catholic Citizens.org – The 2016 Story – SPRINGFIELD BISHOP REBUKES ABP. BLASE CUPICH & HIS FALSE NOTION OF ‘CONSCIENCE’ –
How many Catholics realize that not only was “Communion in the hand” something that was never officially decreed by the Catholic Church or in any Vatican II document but neither was lay people drinking from the Chalice
It was the personal program of a progressive ecumenism by the American Bishops and until the recent post- conciliar era of the Church never before seen in the Catholic Church
Where then did it come from ?!– two words – John _Calvin – “The predestined will drink the blood of the Jesus” and the egalitarian prophesy of Calvinism that soon became the political mantra of the pre-French revolution days of the Catholic suppression “Priests are man made and equal to the people” ?!
What most do not realize is the work of the “Ordained” Holy Catholic Priest whose hands are given power through an unbroken apostolic succession HE – mingles the bread and the wine ‘en persona Christi’ to make for us the Blood of Christ present within the Body of Christ
But to the unread Catholic it’s all the same. Most local Catholic Churches do not realize their role as contributors to “the philosophies of dissidence” of the US Bishops via their publishing arms like NCR and EWTN as the contagion is spread through the rest of the world – obviating the need for an “Office of the Holy See” or the Vatican Press office -as the new “establishment Catholic Church” comes to reign, behind their media, as echoed in Marshall McLuhan’s mantra that became the religion of most college universities “The Medium Is The Message”
While there are many good things on an EWTN , there are many very bad things side by side with it.
While Raymond Arroyo’s show promoted an unprecedented vocal element of abortion protest (some say expectedly predictable as the National Right to Life issues have come into eclipse) and while EWTN always marginally supported the March for Life there was and still is very little depth to the real issues and the many Faithful Catholic apostolates deep into the tarmac of the battle
On Thursday evening immediately following Raymond Arroyo’s news program EWTN Nightly News (which many say is absolutely no different from any secular news outlet in it’s perspectives ) began within seconds of the former and leading off with an Interview with the USCB’s lead dissident, rebellious, and embattled charity CRS – (Catholic Relief Services) – – This apostolate pushes’ wheel barrels full of money into pro Contraception and abortion friendly sister charities led via the collections of the Bishops Annual Appeals

Catholics now argue all the time because we can’t even agree on what we believe.
Isn’t it imperative that we sort this out? Wouldn’t you be a bit frustrated if you took the red pill and woke up, so to speak, in the Catholic Matrix, and realized that you and everyone you know had been tricked into thinking that the Catholicism they experience is the real thing? What if you had proof that it wasn’t? I mean, documents and history books and theological manuals and encyclicals and devotional handbooks and photographs and even videos…all of it. But what if, even then, your every effort to get them to see it was met with at best indifference, and at worst, contempt?
Papal plans gear up for Martin Luther Protestant Anniversary with a Lutheran Catholic Federation as the false ecumenism become all the “new Church of nice rage”
Important – Lutheran World Federation, Pontifical Council for Christian Unity launch “Common Prayer” service extolling Martin Luther and the Reformation
Am apropos quote from the great Catholic theologian G.K. Chesterton 1930s
“The protestant theology of Martin Luther was a thing that now no modern protestant would be seen dead in a field with : or if the charge be too flippant, would be specially anxious not to touch with a ten foot barge pole. That protestantism was pessimistic , it was nothing but bare insistence on the hopelessness of all human virtue , as an attempt to escape hell. That Lutheranism is quite unreal ; more modern phases of Lutheranism are rather more unreal , but Luther was not unreal – He was one of those great elemental barbarians , to whom it is indeed given to change the world. To compare the two buking figures of Saint Thomas Aquinas and Martin Luther so big in history, in any philosophical sense would of course be futile and even unfair – On a great map like the mind of Aquinas, the mind of Luther would be almost invisible .”
But that of course is NOT what they have come to make the masses of the people believe
Pope Francis illustrates to the world , the theological critics and to the charges of a “violation of Infallible Catholicism” that what is really “Infallible” is the consensus of the Catholic Faithful – their democratic consensus IS the sensus fidelium , he proclaimed, this is the new Infallibility !
So if he cannot accomplish on his own, the liberalizing renovation attempts of the Catholic Church and the completion of the destructive implementation of Vatican II he will turn the power over to each individual dicastry to do so
The next Synod will debate the viability of completing the conversion of the Catholic Church to a full republic, a democracy – There are currently three major proposal writers hard at work preparing the next Interim draft report. But what will come after the new Church creates a Catholic democracy

For those familiar with this site the biggest story and link usually comes at the end
The Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith – The CDF himself -Cardinal Muller in the second highest position in the Catholic Church- the former Office of the Holy See and before that the Prefector of the Holy Office of the Inquisition was interviewed
Published in several German (Dei Zeit) and Italian publications the CDF was interviewed with the following questions about out Pontiff
Posed by the German Catholic Theologians to To Cardinal Muller –
With many of the regular Catholic theologians – not of any group or sect asking the following questions of the Prefect
” If many of the exhortations and statements in Papal proclamations are, as the charge of many Catholic theologians goes, are heretical – if even one of them are substantiated , does that make the current Pope a heretic “? =-Formal question to the CDF – and his response
“No the Pope is not a heretic and here is why – A heretic in the theological definition, is a Catholic who denies obstinately a revealed truth proposed by the Church that they are obliged to believe.
He defended the Pope by saying “There is a dichotomy between heresy and orthodoxy to which there are many gradations between There is a grey area which theologians have explored with precision between black (open heresy) and white (complete orthodoxy)”
Therefore although the Pope has often times expressed heretical viewpoints he cannot be considered a formal material heretic – full stop

This is a case enough for the American Tradition Family and Property right to bear arms to protect our families and our homes as it WILL come to this
The nonsense of gun control legislation is really a systematic program to slowly disarm the American people as we begin the switch to Socialism and a large and growingly powerful Central Government and Federal Court begins to de-power the legislative rights of State governments before the coming complete US Economy crash arrives, potentially, before the projected end of 2017 –

The Case of the Vanished Euthanasia Files ( All of the legally required archives on Euthanasia have been and continue to be destroyed as in the plot of an apocalyptic science fiction movie coming into real life ) -News | American Life League
AND NOW WE SEE SOME OF THE MANY AND BIGGER INTERDEPENDENT ISSUES
Legally they are trying to define “PERSONHOOD” and revoke natural law and proscribe their defintions and criteria as to when life begins and when life ends
This is why the defense against Euthanasia and the Organ harvesting business IS THE SAME ISSUE as Abortion and the Contraception/Abortifacient chemical plants business – one in the same
See American Life League’s “Strategy and Analysis of Strategic Concepts – Euthanasia “ for the direct inter-dependencies
What is preventing the majority of able body American men from educating themselves to these issues and get off their couches and away from their protestantized Church of nice big band worship services and become Orthopraxic Knights in the fight and defend the women and children

Write the Bishops ! Not only yours/ours but the defiant ones as well
Bishop Thomas Paprocki Illinois will back you up – He says (unlike the outrageously rebellious Cardinal Donald Wuerl) that Holy Communion MUST BE denied to Catholic politicians that support Abortion AND Euthanasia
Your “refusal” for organ donation must be OFFICIALLY documented –Checking or unchecking the box on your DMV Drivers Licesne or registration renewal will not help There are laws in many states NJ included that says you ARE LEGALLY an organ donor by default now unless you legally opt out
If you go in to the Hospital in critical condition or after a serious car accident – they will claim that you are not in correct state of mind to opt out and you will be gone to the other world just like that

Do not reference the National Catholic Bioethics Center in the US !– like the USCB unfortunately they are in business with the government and have been compromised – They have let them put the pod in the basement – drank the kool-aid – whatever Orwellian analogy you wish to use – it has happened there –

Although we have reached an age where Faithful Catholics are being called to rise up and defend themselves, their families and the women and children from the establishment Catholic Church – we are not alone – There are brave lone wolves Bishops and Priests that we can align ourselves with that are willing to defend the Truth at great personal cost
Last year the Archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, issued a strong statement of opposition to the brain death definition of death. Responding to public debate in Germany on the subject. Cardinal Meisner spoke out in unmistakable terms: The identification of brain death with the death of the human being is from a Christian viewpoint, at the present stand of the debate, no longer defensible. A human being cannot any longer be reduced to his brain function. Therefore it can neither be said that brain death is death, nor that it is a sign of death. Moreover, brain death is not the time of death. . . . All deliberations about organ donation therefore have to presuppose that the human being in whom “brain death” has been determined, according to the rules of medical science, is still alive.
While the Pontifical Academy continues to investigate the means of determining the precise moment at which the diagnosis of death can be accurately made, we must pray.
Pray not to to a false divine-ecumenical-low-Sunday-mercy but do reparation and prayer to the Sacred Bleeding Heart Of Jesus – in union with the Sorrowful Immaculate Heart of Mary that are both very much on fire for the return of souls to the one True Trinitarian Eucharistic Body of Christ without which there is no salvation
