Satanists win right to place "Grossly Offensive" holiday display next to Nativity scene inside Florida’s Capitol (Every single time anti-Christian expression is endorsed, we are basically agreeing to the shaming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Imagine if someone erected a public notice abusing your parents. I suppose today’s liberals may say "Oh that’s okay, they must be free to express themselves." But what about your parents, how would they feel at being publicly abused? No. If you love .. then you will act and you will protect. Why aren’t Christians from across the denominations opposing this and the many other anti-Christian initiatives which are not only sweeping across the US, but the entire world

"Pope-Patriarch Meeting Moved Churches Closer to Unity" takes a closer look at some of the signals sent during Pope Francis’ recent visit to Istanbul, detailing Orthodox concerns as well as Catholic efforts towards unity.
"The effort to reestablish full communion between the ancient Churches of East and West has certainly had its ups and downs over the past half century, but there is general agreement that there are no major theological issues that should keep the two sides from reuniting."

Dutch Doctors Approve Harvesting Organs from Euthanasia "Patients" shines a light on the depraved thinking which is spreading among Holland’s medical preofession. Michael writes,
"Can’t it foresee the appalling abuses which will take place? The most obviousis that patients with neurodegenerative conditions will feel immense pressure to end their lives so that others can live longer. Their lives will resemble the cloned young people who are raised from childhood to be organ donors in Kazuo Ishiguru’s novel Never Let Me Go. Their teachers and carers teach them submissiveness and resignation to their fate. Death is called “completion;” they have finished the task they were born for."

"Protecting Thanksgiving From the Cannibals" provides insight to threats facing the American holiday:
"The executives who talk about these things will note that Thanksgiving Day sales figures are dropping since the day is no longer a special day, eliminate the day’s special deals, and find another way to increase sales, like Napoleon’s army on the march to Russia stripping the land of its food and then moving on careless of the wreckage they’ve left behind."

Irish bishops have warned that presenting same sex-partnerships as equivalent to marriage would be akin to saying that the union of man and woman is no longer the foundation of society. In a pastoral statement aimed at presenting the Church’s teaching on marriage ahead of a vote on same-sex marriage due to be held early next year, the Irish bishops’ conference said the promotion of the unique nature of marriage as a union between one man and one woman is a matter of justice.
