POPE FRANCIS
His 12,000 word interview.
http://www.americamagazine.org/pope-interview
Like all your other crushes, Pope Francis will let the radicals down.

SPACE AND GOD
...the final frontiers.
Voyager 1 has officially left our solar system. This little probe (the size of a small car) has traveled where no man has traveled before. It is the farthest human-made object from Earth in the Universe, traveling away from both the Earth and the Sun. What an accomplishment! Now if we are able to do something like this, imagine another civilization that is merely 10,000,000 years ahead of us? Unfortunately, I have a feeling that we will only be left with our imagination.

PRO-LIFE AND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
More and more abortion clinics are closing down. This year alone, it was reported that over 50 abortion clinics shut their doors for good. Thank God and all the people who work tirelessly to bring this horror and scandal to a close.

CONVERSION STORIES
Peter Hitchens was once an atheist like his late brother Christopher Hitchens, but he became a member of the Church of England. In his book, The Rage Against God, Hitchens's describes his personal journey from the militant atheism to Christianity, detailing the influences on him that led to his conversion. The book is partly intended as a response to God Is Not Great, a book written by his brother Christopher Hitchens in 2007.

First Week In September 2013: This Weeks Picks
KIDS AND TECHNOLOGY
Should children have smartphones? The question really is: Why do they want them? Be careful moms and dads. If you give your child (in elementary or in middle school) a smartphone, then you are also giving them the drama that goes along with it: broken hearts; inappropriate texts; flirts from the opposite or SAME SEX; midnight messaging; broken home dramas; a ton of horrible ideas, etc...
The experts in this article apparently didn't think of all these things.
http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/08/16/children-and-smartphones-what-right-age/
ATHEISTS AT IT AGAIN.
American Atheists Inc. are calling a cross at a 9-11 memorial "grossly offensive." Apparently, they are not so much against God as they are against Christians; that is, Cross, Christmas and Churches.
http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/atheists-call-9-11-memorial-cross-grossly-offensive.html
Sabrina Sunshine, from Virginia Commonwealth University, wrote the following in the comments section: "So you're cool with me putting upside down crosses and "Hail Satan" all over your public buildings? Sweet!" I don't know who she was writing to, but I would say, "Of course!" Let the world see what (who) Americans believe in: the good, the bad and the ugly. Let all the world see what (who) people worship: the good, the bad and the ugly. Let them put their own names on their upside down crosses as well. We have nothing to fear. If anything, it helps our cause! It shows who we are and who they are.
RELIGION AND HOLLYWOOD
Not too long ago, I saw a list of the names of Hollywood stars who call themselves atheists. Recently, I saw a list of twenty stars who left Scientology. http://www.hollyscoop.com/galleries/20-stars-who-left-scientology/2033561
Looks like stars leave religion and swap religions as often as they leave and swap spouses. Oh well. That's Hollywood.
GOD AND NOTRE DAME
Do you remember him? That's Jon Bon Jovi. His son, Jesse Bongiovi, will be playing football this season at the University of Notre Dame. He must have taught his son well...and maybe some of his childhood faith as well.
Best of luck to you Jesse...and may the Irish be ever in your favor.

Really??? More than a million??? Try "More than THREE MILLION!!!"
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/30/world/europe/pope-francis-gay-priests.html?_r=0
"WHO AM I TO JUDGE?"
On his return flight, the Pope answered reporters questions for approximately an-hour-and-a-half.
They were all surprised at how relaxed the Pope was, often smiling and laughing. He didn't dodge a single question (to their surprise...they're so used to politicians), and he was brutally honest with regards to women priests (no!) but a need for women in higher positions; gay priests (forgive and forget..."Who am I to judge?"), and the Vatican Bank ("I don't know what to do").
His words showed love and compassion, but they did not change a single dot or letter of Catholic teaching. Some "Catholicphobes" still call the Pope a "homophobe." They can't seem to love someone unless they agree with them on everything. How sad. How very sad. Imagine if I said to someone, "I will love you only if you agree with me"

Monday's Selections July 15th, 2013
NOT GUILTY BY JURY. GUILTY BY MEDIA
Here is a classic example of how the media strokes the flames of intolerance. Thank God someone is suing NBC for their arrogance and outright disregard for honesty. Let's see if they broadcast this trial in real time and don't edit portions of it.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2013/07/14/zimmerman-lawyer-to-move-asap-against-nbc-news/
And now for another example of media hysteria. Wendy Davis is being catapulted to national fame by...of course...the liberal media. She is their Peter Pan and the media is her fairy dust. The Pro-Choice movement is desperate for a messiah (given the fact that the other one won't stay dead) and Wendy Davis is it. They are hoping she will raise their movement from the dead. Let's see. I guarantee you that she will be running for Governor...and lose. So she has an important decision to make: lose big or lose small.
http://nation.time.com/2013/07/09/filibustering-days-over-wendy-davis-faces-a-big-decision/
THE HOLY FATHER AND THE DALAI LAMA
This video is hilarious! Please watch it. It is not only entertaining, but also very illuminating. The reporter asks common folks who said what: the Dalai Lama or the Pope. They all guessed wrong!!! Interesting...at the negative stereotyping of the Pope, thanks in part by the media.

CARS, PRIESTS AND A POPE
Pope Francis recently said:
“It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can’t do this ...A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world.”

By the way...the Pope now drives a FORD FOCUS. And when he traveled around the island of Lampedusa, he used a borrowed 20-year-old fiat.
POPE FRANCIS AND POP STATUS
It's clear the Pope doesn't want any statues of himself made; at least while he can say something about it.

POPE FRANCIS AND MAN OF THE YEAR
Vanity magazine (Italian edition) just named Pope Francis "Man of the Year!" Some stars, along with Sir Elton John, had some warm words about it.

RELIGION AND POLITICS
So, Catholic Schools divide us? Really? Like Republicans divide Democrats or vice-versa? Like rich people divide poor people? Like environmentalists divide industrialists? Well, our President thinks that Christian schools divide society (notice how he doesn't mention Muslim or Buddhist or anyone else). Oh, the inconsistency of thought...

POPE FRANCIS
It wasn't anything against Beethoven, but the Pope had some work that had to get done. The message was clear: if you need to work, you need to work.

BOY SCOUTS, GIRLS SCOUTS
The Girl Scouts of America are going through some tough times. Ever since their radical leaders inaugurated a program that eliminates God, Family and Traditional values, the Girl Scouts have lost a ton of families, members, support and money. You won't hear about it, but facts speak louder than fiction. Call me a prophet, but I have a feeling the Boys Scouts of America will go through something very similiar...and soon.

End of the Week Bedtime Reads
CONVERSION STORIES
Brought up by an "intelletual" atheist father and a "practical" atheist mother, Sister Juliana saw the light of faith the logical way: by reflecting on life.
http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/features/2013/06/18/without-warning-i-was-dropped-into-a-world-of-genuine-faith/
ABORTION AND POLITICS
Who said abortion and politics shouldn't mix? Liberals? But they combine the two all the time to get elected. Now Chelsea is getting in the mix of things for her mother's bid for President. How? By mixing abortion with politics.
http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/20/chelsea-clinton-laments-my-grandmother-did-not-have-access-to-planned-parenthood/
SCIENCE AND RELIGION
Which came first, God or the scientist? If you're still not sure, then let me help you by asking a similiar question: Which came first, the leaf or the solar panel? If you still don't know, then read this article. It will help you to put things in perspective. Scientists do well very little except two things: (1) explain things as if they had created them (that is, take all the credit), and (2) try to imitate the Creator by creating little gadgets. I wouldn't even say they've made life easier or safer.

PHil Mickelson is a star on the golf course and also a star at home. He knows what is important in life. He get's it and is encouraging others to "just do it."

CONVERSIONS: DARWIN IS A CATHOLIC!!!
Yep, that's right. The beautiful great-great-great granddaughter of Charles Darwin just broke the chains of evolution with her recent re-conversion to Catholicism. She credits Richard Dawkins's "God Delusion" for paving the way. I knew it. The best way to get people back into the Church is for them to read the works of atheists!
http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/news/2013/06/13/descendant-of-darwin-becomes-a-catholic-apologist/
THE POPE AND HARLEY...DAVIDSON?
The Pope found some time to bless hundreds of thousands of Harley-Davidson bikers and bikes. Many were "stunned" by the Pope's words and friendliness. They should get out there more often.

ABORTION AND POLITICS
Nancy Pelosi was mocked by the Press Corp when she tried to justify Partial-Birth Abortions but not Dr. Gosnell's After-Birth Abortions.

CHURCH AND STATE
The Constitution protects religion and the free exercise of religion, but recent attacks by atheists have made it necessary to protect the rights of religious people in secular institutions. In Texas, Gov. Perry signed into law the "Merry Christmas Bill". Can you believe we need to do this, today???

News for Bedtime: Week of June 10th, 2013
PRO-LIFE NEWS
The Supreme Court has declined to get involved in a lower court's decision to prohibit the use of real images of aborted fetuses in public places where children may be in attendance. The lower court argued that the images were detrimental to children... I guess we are now left to our imagination as to how detrimental abortions are to children.

THE NEW NEW ATHEISM
Apparently the so-called "New Atheism" is old, and it is time for a "New New Atheism"; that is, a friendlier atheism; a kinder and gentler atheism; an atheism that respects religion. Well, all I can say is that there is nothing new with sheep in wolves clothing.

RELIGION AMONG TEENS
So many teens have been forced to reinforce the illusion that faith among teens is dwindling. In order to reinforce this, officials must censor teens ceremonies and their speeches. The mic may even "malfunction" if there demands are not met. But all the intimidation in the world did not stop one brave soul from speaking out. Watch this video and applaud!

Faith In Action Week of June 3rd
THE POPE...
On Twitter
Pope Francis continues to tweet his heart away. But take a look at some of the vile comments that come forth from the mouths of babes (mostly atheists). To blame the Pope for the failures of others is unacceptable. It's called stereotyping. It's called collective guilt. It's called WRONG.
https://twitter.com/Pontifex
You can read all about this in today's mediatation.
On World Adoration
This past Sunday, Catholics from all over the world gathered together around the Blessed Sacrament for one hour. The Pope asked that we pray for two special intentions: for those suffering from war, human slavery and economic crisis and for the Catholic Church that it be free from all stains and blemish.

CONVERTS TO THE FAITH
Here's a beautiful story of a young lady who opened her eyes as well as her mind and found the truth in the Catholic Faith.
http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2013/06/03/i-converted-to-catholicism-after-being-surprised-by-what-catholics-were-actually-like/
AMERICA UNDER GOD?
America's first atheist monument may very well be going up in front of a Court building. So what is their monument dedicated to? Of course, the ridicule of other people's faith (Jews and Christians). That just about sums up what atheists believe in.
http://christiannews.net/2013/06/02/americas-first-atheist-monument-to-be-displayed-outside-florida-courthouse/
Bill Maher, a militant atheist, believes the Pope may actually be an atheist! You can read all about it below. Now I finally understand what G.K. Chesterton meant when he wrote: "Those who cease to believe in God do not end up believing in anything. They end up believing anything they want."

Faith In Action During The Week of May 26th
One of them who became like one of us. An atheist who ate and drank orthodox atheism for a living received a life saving blood transfusion when she began reading about Christianity from orthodox Christians. Meet the intelligent young woman who was humble enough to learn...and convert.

Atheists irked by prayer? So when in the world did a generic prayer at a graduation ceremony constitute establishment of a religion? We know that for atheists, there's no difference between God and unicorns? So why aren't they complaining about unicorns in our schools?
