Celestial Discharge: Mother Angelica

Born with the name Rita Rizzo, the famous nun who ran the Catholic broadcasting powerhouse, EWTN, joined the Poor Clares at age 21, becoming Sister Mary Angelica of the Annunciation.  She became one of the founders of a new monastery in Canton Ohio, and eventually won permission to build a new Monastery in the South in Feb of 1961.  At that time, the Catholics in her target city of Irondale, Alabama, comprised just 2 percent of the population.  With initial plans to broadcast some programs on a local station, Mother Angelica, found some other television content of that station to be severely incompatible with her own.  Her objections fell on deaf ears, so she decided to build her own television station in the garage of her facility.  This was the beginning of EWTN, Eternal Word Television Network, which has brought traditional Catholicism into homes it might never have reached by conventional means.  This network has served since 1981, as a major support of the teachings of the Catholic Church during a period in which it is being opposed from all sides. The extensive influence Mother Angelica’s ministry has been recognized world wide by both friends and foes.

In 2000, Mother Angelica stepped down from leading EWTN, but remained actively broadcasting, even after a stroke in Sept. of 2001.   During this brief period, some famous imagery of the “Pirate Nun” became available as she continued to convert people and transform lives. She later suffered a more severe stroke and underwent a thrombectomy which relieved the paralysis in her face, but led to more paralysis on the opposite side of her body, as well as damage to her speech centers.  From that time forward, she stopped hosting television programs, although she taped the 2003 “Recitation of the Holy Rosary with Mother Angelica and the Nuns”.

At EWTN, it is felt that their ministry has been supported by the prayers of Mother Angelica during the many years of being effectively cloistered in the aftermath of her strokes. Her prayer became strong as her speech became weak.  Yesterday, on  Easter Sunday, the Creator granted Mother Angelica her Celestial Discharge.   Prayers for her and her Sisters and the continuance of their ministry.

Trump transforms Megyn Kelley smGot this hilarious pic in an email.  Who did it?  A search tracked it to Mike Cernovich’s site, Danger and Play.  Check out his article HERE, then surf his whole site.  It’s an eye opener especially for guys, and not for metrosexuals who need a safe space.

Cernovich has full awareness of how Trump gets his free media coverage, and campaigns at lower cost than Anyone!

NYT Shock: ISIS Using Birth Control and Abortion to Maintain Sex Slave Supply

The shock is that the New York Times would publish the fact that ISIS is using birth control and abortion to maintain their sex slaves in a rape-able state.  It seems that the cultural upsurge of anti-rape sentiment (particularly among younger people) has overcome even the left’s love of abortion!

Why does it take 100 years for leftists to admit what we knew all along?  Birth control and abortion have always been used to keep women as sex toys which are capable of maintaining a comfortable temperature and texture.  Through natural means, women could have much more effectively promoted themselves as valued member of society and advanced their own self determination.

History has been made.  The New York Times has admitted the obvious.

Both domestically and abroad, abortion and birth control have been used to keep women as a permanent underclass at best, and tortured sex slaves at worst.   ISIS has driven the point home in a way so graphic that the most hardened, cynical,  leftist media venue  is unable to ignore it.

The next step is for the the NYT to admit the main reason why the regime is importing all of those children without their parents.

(The New York TImes article, by Rukmini Callimachi, appears in print 3-13-16 in their New York Edition, as ISIS’ System of Rape Relies on Birth Control and is also found online.)

Lefties, Your Turn to Be Suppressed is Coming

So many people of all political stripes seem to forget about the value of freedom of speech and religion when it’s their turn on top, and they have a chance to crush their rivals. The Evangelical Atheists have been all about squashing public displays of Christianity for decades.

It’s time to remind them that their turn is coming.  Russia and the old USSR used to be an Atheist, Commie Paradise.  But times are changing.   It seems that Vladimir Putin has been finding his Orthodox roots.  It’s no longer cool to advertise abortion nor gayness in Russia.  Here’s  a story which you might take with a grain of salt, because it’s from that “news” dumpster called NBC.  A reporter, called Alexey Eremenko, claims that a Russian is facing possibly a year in prison for claiming, on social media, that there is no God.   Viktor Krasnov is said to be on trial in Stavropol, Russia, for “offending believer’s feelings”, after having undergone a month of mental health testing.  Perhaps Atheists are now considered crazy in Russia.

The enforcers of political correctness, who feel more powerful and alive when they’re  suppressing opposing ideas, should remember that times change, and the next ideas to be suppressed will be their own.

Call A Waaaaaaaaaaambulance, Bloomberg Business

There is the wailing and gnashing of teeth at Bloomberg Business over abortion clinics going belly up. These businesses are not able to survive compliance the regulations  that are imposed on REAL outpatient medical facilities. They’re closing at a rate of more than 30 per year.  If you have ever seen the quality of patient data passed from an abortion clinic, you would know that adherence to basic standards of health care is not routine in that industry.

Call a WAAAAAMBULANCE!
Call a WAAAAAMBULANCE!

A free waaaaaaaaaaambulance ride is proffered to reporter Esmé E Deprez, whose distress at the loss of babycidal, dismembering, parts-selling businesses is apparent in the language of her article.

Not seen in this Bloomberg coverage is a mention of ATTWN, the organization which is vacuuming the abortion industry of employees, and helping these awakened people find real opportunities and healing.

Celestial Discharge: Justice Antonin Scalia

Normally this would be time to recognize the contributions of Supreme Court Justice Scalia and his efforts to forestall  the slide of the U.S. into the scrap heap of civilization.   However, the circumstances and timing of his demise leave many questions, and a sense of foreboding for our future.  Most pro-life people are mourning this loss of a significant supporter of the human right to life.

Prayers for Antonin Scalia and those he leaves behind.

CDC Suggests that Sexual Abstinence is Possible!

NEWS FLASH!  The CDC is recommending sexual abstinence for a specific group of pregnant women.  You won’t believe your eyes, but here it is, in a quote from a Feb 3, 2016 press release:

“Until more is known, CDC continues to recommend that pregnant women and women trying to become pregnant take the following precautions:

Pregnant women should consider postponing travel to the areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. Pregnant women who must travel to one of these areas should talk to their doctor or other healthcare professional first and strictly follow steps to avoid mosquito bites during the trip. Until we know more, if your male sexual partner has traveled to or lives in an area with active Zika virus transmission, you should abstain from sex or use condoms the right way every time you have vaginal, anal, and oral sex for the duration of the pregnancy.”

Mind you, the causal link between Zika virus and microcephaly has not actually been established, but this doesn’t stop the latest media hysteria.  Lefties are using this latest  wave of fear to push (late term) abortion into South America.  (It could be that they need more body parts for whatever research or industrial, or energy producing purposes.)  But isn’t it odd that suddenly ABSTINENCE is considered to be possible??

Boosting Courage

When a guy steps forward, and takes a huge personal and social risk in order to live according to his conscience, he deserves recognition and credit.  Joseph Sciambra probably gets death threats since deciding that human life, health, dignity and the Spirit of God  is infinitely more important than preference of sex, how much of it, and where to put it.

Your friendly Pharmer has concurred with this conclusion for a very long time, and wants people to live a full life here and beyond. Therefore, Mr. Sciambra gets a boost, prayers and best wishes.  Check out what he has to say HERE.
