Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 12/26/2023 9:19:44 PM

A church in Italy took considerable backlash for its “dangerous” and “blasphemous” nativity scene featuring a figure of a second woman — in place of Joseph — alongside the figures of the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, in Capocastello di Mercogliano, is under fire after Father Vitaliano Della Sala decided it would be a good idea to have a “more inclusive” nativity in his church, Reuters reported.“I wanted to show with this scene that families are no longer just the traditional ones,” Della Sala told the outlet.

The thing that he doesn’t seem to understand is that we’re celebrating that particular family not the families that he is trying to include. Why doesn’t he get that?

Lord have mercy. The fruits of an apostate pope. I've read the Borgia popes were something to behold, but Frank is sure giving them a run for their money. All their efforts are useless against Our Lady's greatest weapon, the Rosary. Every Catholic's response to these "inclusive" outrages must be to pray the Rosary as our Blessed Mother requested at Fatima and every apparition of the 20th century. Also remember the St. Michael prayer in these times of trial. First and foremost we are engaged in Spiritual Warfare. We must fight the source, not just the social manifestation. AMDG

Addendum: What we see here, is not Christian. It is merely the corrupted appearance of Christianity. The Bible warns us about this.

According to the leadership of this church, nothing says Christmas and the birth of Jesus than a recreation of Sodom and Gomorrah. According to the Good Book, in the end there will be plenty of apostate (a.k.a. phony) churches. Apparently, this is one of them.

Italian geography Rule Of Thumb - - - - - The longer a town's name - - the smaller its population. Capocastello di Mercogliano isn't even an incorporated town. It's just a "frazione" (fraction) of the small town of Mercogliano - - which has a population of about 12,000.

Shocker! Isaac Schorr at Mediaite reported a new study from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications found that just 3.4 percent of American journalists are Republicans. In the last ten years, the proportion of Democrats has increased to 36.4% and proportion of Independents has ticked upwards to 51.7%, while the already low Republican share has been cut in half. The last study in 2013 pegged the proportion of Republican journalists in America at 7.1%, Democrats at 28.1%, and Independents at 50.2%.

Capitol restaurateurs are lamenting exorbitant costs for security as others are forced to close due to soaring crime: “It’s like the Wild West.” With only days remaining in 2023, the year continued a trend of losing businesses as owners sought safer climates beyond the borders of the metropolitan area of Washington, D.C.. Tuesday, the DCist/WAMU reported that restaurant closures had surpassed the 48 in 2022 at 52 and, along with inflation, blue state crime was a leading factor.

Separately, thousands more asylum-seekers are already in Northern Mexico waiting to cross over.

According to the Journal, despite major investments from the federal government and automakers into EVs, Americans are not warming to President Joe Biden’s green energy agenda the way the administration and the industry had predicted.The Journal reports: As a result, electric cars and trucks are piling up on dealer lots, causing auto companies to reassess their investment plans.

In a piece of sad news for gun owners, shooters, Second Amendment advocates, and concealed-carry folks, we note on Wednesday the passing of Gaston Glock, who broke considerable new ground in the design of semi-auto handguns. His guns were something new; polymer-framed, striker-fired, tough, reliable, and aimed directly at the police and military markets, although they gained a big following among recreational shooters and carry advocates. And, as one might expect, a lot of misconceptions grew up around Mr. Glock's creations as well.

Special Counsel Jack Smith wants to prevent President Trump from blaming provocateurs and undercover agents for the January 6 Capitol riot. “Through public statements, filings and argument in hearings before the court, the defense has attempted to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial,” Jack Smith’s 20-page filing said. “Although the court can recognize these efforts for what they are and disregard them, the jury — if subjected to them — may not.

Melania Trump wasn't in family Christmas images posted to social media because she was taking care of her sick mother. Amalija Knavs, 78, is sick in the hospital, according to multiple reports – and the former first lady has been by her mother's side instead of at Mar-a-Lago celebrating the holidays with her family. Donald Trump Jr.'s finacé Kimberly Guilfoyle posted a family photo to her Instagram story the day after Christmas including several members of the Trump family. Immediately of notice was Melania's absence from the image. 'Melania has always been very devoted to her entire family,' a source close to the former first lady told Fox News Digital.

Former President Donald Trump will remain on the ballot in Michigan after the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an appeal rooted in the Constitution’s “Insurrection Clause,” although on procedural grounds. Unlike the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that Trump can remain on the ballot for the state’s upcoming primary. It upheld the unanimous ruling of Michigan’s Court of Appeals, where a three-judge panel held that the argument — that Trump “engaged in insurrection” — was not ripe (meaning that ruling on it would be premature).

Claudine Gay, who took over as president in July, has been at the center of a firestorm since the October 7 Hamas attacks.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said that dealing with angry rural Americans is similar to combating terrorism on “Morning Joe” Tuesday. Matthews highlighted the importance of anger in mobilizing voters during elections as he drew the analogy. He said rural Americans harbor a deep-seated anger toward liberal elites and then seemed to liken it to the sentiments of terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq following the U.S. military presence there. “This is rural rage. They are so angry at the liberal establishment, the coastal elite, they look at people on television … ‘They don’t have to worry about us,’” Matthews stated.

Upon hearing the notion that Michelle Obama may be the presidential candidate for Democrats in 2024, many Republicans reflexively recite the mantra that she is enjoying her life and is not political. Let me make one thing clear: Michelle Obama is a political animal. Republicans must quickly begin to prepare for her candidacy. Michelle grew up as the daughter of a Chicago Democrat party precinct captain. She has written about making the rounds with her father from age 4, visiting homes in her area to get out the black vote for the white liberal Chicago Democrat party machine.

World Health Organization (WHO) head, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared war on meat and traditional farming. “Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet. Food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for almost one-third of the global burden of disease. Transforming food systems is therefore essential,” Tedros said in a video message published last Thursday for the COP28 official event.

And despite claims that partisanship is driving the public’s sour mood, negative views about the economy and President Joe Biden’s performance are almost universal.

It was later revealed that Card had a history of mental illness and had even threatened violence against his fellow servicemembers at a military base.
