Amnesty International names Vatican in 2011 report on human rights violations - it's time the UN end the Vatican status as a "secular" state

Is the Vatican a "state" or country? It is only one building with a public square -- and no children and women are allowed to live there. Actually it is a homosexual building! The Vatican is much smaller than this aerial photo -- See a more precise aerial view of the country of the Vatican here http://popecrimes.blogspot.com/2011/09/benedict-xvi-uses-hitler-to-divert.html Read more below and the criminal charges against Cardinal Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI, for his Crimes agaisnt Humanity at the Hague in http://popecrimes.blogspot.com/



This is a historic first for Amnesty International to name the "country" of the Vatican among their list of infamous countries guilty of the violation of human rights – the Holy See’s crimes are the violation of children's rights in the priests’ sex scandal that has plagued the Catholic Church and was covered-up during the 27 years papacy of John Paul II and rule of Benedict XVI as Cardinal Ratzinger. Both these two rulers were like - a pair of hands - who ruled the Vatican and the Catholic Church for a quarter of a century and all they did was enjoy their lifestyle of the rich and famous at the Vatican as John Paul II traveled as a Head of State and spent taxpayers money for his pompous ceremonies of the sorcery of the flesh and blood of Christ and not once did he address the issue of priest pedophilia that was haunting him until his death. He traveled to Guadalupe with his beloved companion, Fr. Marcial Maciel, one of the most notorious members of his JP2 Army the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army.

Amnesty International placed the Vatican or Holy See (ironic name since John Paul II turned a blind eye to Fr. Marcial Maciel and Cardinal Bernard Law, his two Achilles Heels, and his JP2 Army of pedophiles pederasts priests) in the company of other countries such as China, Libya and Nigeria for their infamous human rights violations. Amnesty International makes detailed report documents especially about torture and other ill-treatments in 98 countries, specific restrictions on free speech in at least 89 countries -- but it failed to include that there is no freedom of speech in the Holy See as we can see the firing of Bishop Morris for speaking about women's ordination and other relevatn issues, read our related article Temple Police: The Australian is part of the Vatican media empire and the near-future demise of the Vatican Temple http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2011/05/temple-police-australian-is-part-of.html.

Amnesty International wrote that, “However, by the year’s end the Holy See had again failed to submit its second periodic report on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, due in 1997, and the initial report on the UN Convention against Torture, due in 2003.” Do you Catholics get that? The Vatican is so busy beatifying John Paul II and so busy writing all kinds of books and papal speeches and busy performing all kinds of spectacle sorceries of the Flesh and Blood of Christ that John Paul II failed to submit these periodic reports due under his papacy – after all he died in 2005! And Benedict XVI is so busy with the fast-track beatification of John Paul II and his usual global appearances as he declares his pathological lies and books that he has not submitted the Holy See’s “periodic reports” to the UN due in 1997 and 2003, as the successor of John Paul II. It is quite a hypocrisy that the Vatican want to be a bona fide member of the United nation when it is a mere building and garden in Rome, but it cannot even submit this reports that the UN has been waiting for since 1997, that is over 14 years! It figures that the Vatican Bank which controls the Vatican Swiss Banks is interested only in hoarding the evil-gotten moneys of despots and therefore perpetuates the oppression of poor peoples and poor countries – perhaps Amnesty International should be investigating this too as this is the last frontier of the biggest crimes committed by the Vatican and John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

John Paul II WYD had no role with Arab youths who liberated Egypt from Mubarak who stole then deposited billions into Vatican Swiss Banks http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Really, Catholics, it is time this sorcery of Christ end in this 21st century because Benedict XVI and Cardinals and Bishops and all priests cannot reincarnate dead cats and dead dogs and dead fishes, and therefore they cannot reincarnate the Creator God the Son Jesus Christ. This sorcery of Christ in the 9-seconds transubstantiation of the bread and wine can only match the hype for Harry Potter magic feel-good read our related article Magisterium Benedict VERSUS Holy Mary: Priests' transubstantiation instant reincarnation of Christ VERSUS Mary’s 9 months pregnancy& child birth http://stella0maris.blogspot.com/2010/01/magisterium-benedict-versus-holy-mary.html

Opus Dei controlled the 27 years papacy of John Paul II and is therefore the foremost guilty party who aided and abetted and covered-up the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army. Opus Dei wrote most of John Paul II’s books and writings and to ensure their perpetuity as “All things Catholic”, they want JP2 to be beatified and canonized now by Benedict XVI so as not to take any chances on other future popes. The FACE of Opus Dei is John Paul II and the PHANTOM Spirit of Opus Dei is their founder St. Josemaria Escriva.

In May, the Holy See submitted its initial reports on the optional protocols to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child which at the end of the year had yet to be considered by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.

However, by the year’s end the Holy See had again failed to submit its second periodic report on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, due in 1997, and the initial report on the UN Convention against Torture, due in 2003.

Children’s rights – response to child abuse

Increasing evidence of widespread child sexual abuse committed by members of the clergy over the past decades, and of the enduring failure of the Catholic Church to address these crimes properly, continued to emerge in various countries. Such failures included not removing alleged perpetrators from their posts pending proper investigations, not co-operating with judicial authorities to bring them to justice and not ensuring proper reparation to victims.

The Pope acknowledged the abuses during visits to countries where they had been reported, such as Ireland, Malta and the UK, and expressed regret. He affirmed that “just penalties” should be imposed to exclude perpetrators from access to young people and stressed that to prevent abuses education and selection of candidates for priesthood should be improved.

In March, in a letter to the Catholics of Ireland, the Pope admitted that “a misplaced concern for the reputation of the Church and the avoidance of scandals” had resulted in the “failure to apply existing canonical penalties and to safeguard the dignity of every person”. He exhorted bishops to fully implement the norms of canon law when addressing child abuse and “to continue to cooperate with the civil authorities in their area of competence”.

Amendments to the canon law promulgated in May introduced the “delicts” of paedophile pornography and abuse of mentally disabled people; the maximum punishment for these “delicts” is dismissal or deposition. Canon law does not include an obligation for Church authorities to report cases to civil authorities for criminal investigation. Secrecy is mandatory throughout the proceedings.

In November, Holy See representatives conducted an “apostolic visitation” to Ireland, to verify “the effectiveness of processes used in responding to cases of abuse and of forms of assistance provided to the victims”. Results of the visit were due to be announced in 2011.

Amnesty International names Vatican in 2011
report on human rights violations

Statements of Jeff Anderson and Marci Hamilton

Jeff Anderson: “The news that Amnesty International’s 2011 Annual Report on Human Rights Abuses names the Vatican because of its failure to protect children from sexual abuse is further evidence that the international community is now coming to the aid of child sex abuse victims everywhere. I applaud Amnesty International for its courage in making this historic decision, its dedication to human rights, and its extraordinary effort to protect children. It is also important to note that the Vatican has recently announced that it will be issuing new guidelines for the handling of child sex abuse by bishops. It does not appear, however, that it will be establishing mandatory rules that will protect children, like mandatory reporting of all allegations of abuse to the authorities. Children, therefore, remain at risk in the largest religious organization in the world, which is why Amnesty International, the United Nations and the courts of the world, will have to be the protectors of the children at risk of sexual abuse.”

Marci Hamilton: “In light of this most deserving attention to an egregious international problem, the Vatican is surely on notice that it cannot keep its secrets about child sex abuse anymore. Clearly, the Vatican cannot escape the fact that the world understands how it has harmed children repeatedly. Additionally, this report will be helpful in the lawsuits filed against the Holy See because it corroborates the experiences of the victims and supports the cases’ legal theories.”

Background

Attorneys Jeff Anderson, Marci Hamilton, and Michael Finnegan represent Oregon, Wisconsin, and Illinois victims of the Vatican’s cover-up policies in pending federal lawsuits against the Vatican. The Vatican has tried to avoid liability for its actions by arguing that it has sovereign immunity. Federal law, however, does not provide immunity to foreign sovereigns when they commit torts against Americans or when they engage in commercial activity that harms Americans. The Amnesty Report supports their claims.

Amnesty International names Vatican in 2011 report of human rights violations

UNITED STATES
SNAP - Wisconsin

Contact: Peter Isely, SNAP Midwest Director, 414.429.7259/

The world’s largest human rights organization, Amnesty International, has named the Vatican in its annual global report today for failing to protect children from abuse and not complying with international mandates to protect children. (link to Vatican page of the report: http://www.amnesty.org/en/region/vatican/report-2011)

The Vatican joins the list this year of such infamous human rights violators such as China, Lybia and Nigeria.

The Amnesty report documents torture and other ill-treatment in at least 98 countries, specific restrictions on free speech in at least 89 countries, reports on unfair trials in at least 54 countries and highlights cases of prisoners of conscience in at least 48 countries.

Specifically the Vatican is named for not removing alleged perpetrators from their posts pending proper investigations, not cooperating with judicial authorities to bring them to justice and not ensuring proper reparation to victims “Canon law does not include an obligation for church authorities to report cases to civil authorities for criminal investigation. Secrecy is mandatory throughout the proceedings,” according to the report.

Amnesty names Vatican over human rights abuses

VATICAN CITY/IRELAND
The Irish Times

PATSY McGARRY, Religious Affairs Correspondent

THE VATICAN and Ireland are criticised in connection with child protection issues in the Amnesty International Report 2011: The State of the World’s Human Rights, published later this morning on the eve of Amnesty International’s 50th anniversary.

The 400-page report examines human rights in 157 countries and, for the first time, also includes the Holy See.

It has found that, in Ireland, “child protection standards were inadequate in both law and practice” and that “the Holy See did not sufficiently comply with its international obligations relating to the protection of children”.

It found that the Irish Government “failed to implement a number of commitments it made in 2009 following the report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse .

UK: Secularists welcome Amnesty naming Vatican over Child Abuse

http://secular-europe-campaign.org/2011/05/14/uk-secularists-welcome-amnesty-naming-vatican-over-child-abuse/
Posted on May 14, 2011

Secularists have welcomed Amnesty International’s naming of the Vatican in its 2011 report into human rights abuses around the world. Amnesty criticises the Vatican, and its political arm the Holy See, for failing to honour its obligations under the United Nations Charter on the Rights of the Child, to which it is a signatory. This is the first time Amnesty has reported on the Vatican.

Keith Porteos Wood, Chief Executive of the National Secular Society

The National Secular Society, whose Executive Director has been pursuing the Vatican at the United Nations Human Rights Council over its consistent failure to file reports as it is required to do under the terms of the Charter, congratulated Amnesty for drawing attention once more to this reluctance by the Vatican to face up to its responsibilities and admit its failures.

Keith Porteous Wood, Executive Director of the National Secular Society said: “from the highest echelons of the Vatican down to local level, the Roman Catholic Church continues to obstruct investigations into the horrific abuse of children under its care. It is beyond contention that the Vatican has broken at least six Articles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

“That scandal is almost equalled by the failure, so far, of international bodies to bring the Vatican to account.

“We call on the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the European Union and the Council of Europe – as well as their member states of goodwill – to call the Vatican to account for its past failures, in particular to press for the Vatican:

* to release its secret child abuse files to prosecuting authorities
* to require suspicions of child abuse within the Church to be reported to secular authorities without recourse to the Vatican
* to instruct all those under the control of the Church to cooperate with secular authorities over enquiries connected with child abuse, and
* to correct its continuing failure to file a report with the UN due in 1997 on child protection”

Keith Porteous Wood has made similar points at plenary sessions of the UN Human Rights Council in 2009, 2010 and most recently March 2011. He was speaking as an international representative of the International Humanist and Ethical Union.

Is the Vatican a "state" or country? It is only one building with a public square -- and no children and women are allowed to live there. Actually it is a homosexual building!

Is the Vatican Truly an Independent State?

April 11, 2010 — Terence Weldon
http://queeringthechurch.com/2010/04/11/is-the-vatican-truly-an-independent-state/

With extraordinary synchronicity I had just proposed in my last post, which I had not yet even published, that we should seriously question the Vatican’s claims to be treated as an independent state, when I saw an opinion piece in the LA Times on exactly the same topic.

The problem with the Vatican’s present status as a “state” is not just that is a quirky little oddity, an peculiar little legacy of the historical interrelationship between it and the rest of Italy, nor is it even that it leaves the Vatican beyond the legal reach of any external authority. No, it is worse. There are other tiny states (not quite so small) which are truly independent, and are not a problem to anyone. The real issue is that the Vatican’s claims are so one-sided: while their insistence on independent status excludes any other state from interfering in their internal affairs, they do not respect the balancing principle. Through their army of clerical staff, all under direct or indirect Vatican control, they are constantly busying themselves with the affairs of the entire world. They dictate moral rules to individual citizens, and they regularly attempt to influence the political process – as is seen most dramatically on abortion, marriage equality and gay adoption.

It is not right that they should be allowed to get away with these double standards. Which major country will be the first to withdraw recognition of the Vatican “state”?

From the LA Times:

Consequences of the Catholic Church’s claim of statehood

The practice of treating the Catholic Church as a state has been bad for women’s equality and gay rights. Now, the unfolding sexual abuse scandal reveals another dark side of the Holy See’s status.
Giuseppe dalla Torre, a top Vatican legal advisor, declared in a preemptive strike last week that Pope Benedict XVI could not be sued in an American court. His statement — in response to allegations that the pope played a role in covering up, among other scandals, the sexual abuse of children at a Wisconsin school for the deaf — was unequivocal. “The pope is certainly a head of state, who has the same juridical status as all heads of state,” Dalla Torre said, which grants him immunity from foreign courts.

But is the spiritual leader of the world’s Roman Catholics really a “head of state” as well?

Benedict XVI is the head the church’s governing body — known as the Holy See — which claims many of the privileges of a sovereign country. In recent decades the Holy See has welcomed ambassadors, signed international treaties and used its status to influence developments at the United Nations.

That the Holy See is often treated as a state is deeply troubling, for several reasons. For one thing, the Catholic Church isn’t truly a sovereign nation; to allow it to play one on the international stage perverts the meaning of statehood.

Moreover, the church’s claim to statehood gives it even more political influence than it would otherwise wield and grants outsized power to only one of the world’s many religions. And its claim is particularly worrisome now that the church — embroiled in a disturbing scandal that has reached from Boston to Berlin — is claiming the sort of immunity enjoyed by prime ministers and presidents.

How did this situation come about? The concept of sovereign statehood first developed in 17th century Europe, where the church was long treated as a quasi-state by Western powers. The Papal States existed within Italy for centuries. At their height, the Papal States comprised most of central Italy and parts of what is now southern France.

But the church’s territorial holdings were lost in battles over time, and by the end of the 19th century the church was essentially landless. Then, in the late 1920s, Vatican City was carved out of Rome via a treaty with Italy. The Holy See and Vatican City are legally distinct, but Vatican City was created to give the Holy See a territorial home and thereby safeguard its independence.

Despite opposition from many quarters, the Reagan administration initiated formal diplomatic relations with the Holy See in the 1980s. Today, nearly every country maintains diplomatic ties, and the Holy See is a “permanent observer state” at the U.N. This persists despite its lack of most of the key legal characteristics of statehood.

It’s true that Vatican City runs a popular post office and mints its own currency. But international law requires that a “state” have four attributes: territory, a permanent population, a functioning government and the ability to engage in international relations. The last requirement largely builds on the others: Whether a state can engage in international relations is decided by whether other states treat it like one.

As to the question of territory, there exists only the small parcel of land known as Vatican City. But as any visitor knows, Vatican City is in the middle of Rome and is little more than half the size of the Mall in Washington, D.C. In any event, the Holy See continues to claim that its international status is based on its religious authority, not its territorial enclave.

To say that Vatican City possesses a permanent population of the sort envisioned by international law is even more of a stretch. Most residents are simply members of the church hierarchy, a body composed solely of men. They number less than the student bodies of many high schools — about 800. As to the Catholics of the world, they are already represented by the governments of other nations.

Vatican City does have a functioning bureaucracy, and so has a government of sorts. Yet it is surely the most unusual government of the world, given its minute size and lack of any standard government functions, such as the administration of justice, education of the young or provision of defense. It even relies on Italy for its water, police and firefighting services.

For decades the strange practice of treating the Catholic Church as a state has been bad for women’s equality, gay rights and reproductive freedom. The Holy See’s fictive statehood allows it to promote its retrograde views on gender and sex in diplomatic settings and during treaty negotiations.

Now, the unfolding sexual abuse scandal reveals another dark side of the Holy See’s claim to statehood: the extraordinary immunities claimed by the pope in the face of conspiracy accusations that span the globe.

Pope Benedict XVI’s predecessor, John Paul II, recognized the tenuous claim to statehood. When Vladimir Putin visited Vatican City some years ago, he offered to invite the pope to Russia. Russian Orthodox leaders opposed the pontiff’s visit, seeing it as an encroachment by Rome on their turf. Putin proposed a solution. As Putin later recalled, he told the pope: “I am ready to invite you as the head of state. I, as the head of state, invite you as the head of state.” The pope replied, “Look out the window. What kind of state do I have here? You can see my whole state right from this window.”

Benedict XVI complemented bin Laden's death with JP2 Army! The Battle Hymn of the Republic! Not even the Almighty Vatican could see it coming

Benedict XVI complemented Osama bin Laden's (and Adolf Hitler’s) death with the beatification of false-saint John Paul II in Rome on May 1. May 1 is now May Day the anniversary of 3 infamous men in history who were leaders of mass murders of souls and bodies in the 20th and 21st century: John Paul II, Osama bin Laden and Adolf Hitler. read the JP2 Army MAY DAY: John Paul II,Adolf Hitler,Osama bin Laden share the same DAY OF INFAMY on MAY 1 = TEL Trio Evil Leaders of mass murders of souls and bodies http://jp2army.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-day-john-paul-iiadolf-hitlerosama.html Benedict XVI thought he had chosen the perfect day of Divine Mercy Sunday to beatify John Paul II in Rome but half-way around the world, in Pakistan, Osama bin Laden was killed by American Navy Seals in a 40 minute operation. As typical it is for Rome to party while the rest of the world seeks justice, Nero fiddled while Rome burned, now it’s Benedict XVI who fiddles and parties while Catholic churches are burning with the Devil’s Bowels stench of Priestly Sodomy of Biblical Proportions committed by the JP2 Army of pedophiles pederasts and rapists-priests. Benedict XVI had that sinister smile on his face as he presided the beatification with a Latin Mass with more than a million fanatic Catholics attending. Benedict XVI committed many pathological lies in his homily – read our analysis of his homily in our sister weblog the John Paul II Millstone, Heil Satanas JP2 Patron Saint of Pedophiles, Pederasts Rapists-Priests! John Paul II is the same yesterday and today-- he cannot protect children http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/05/heil-satanas-jp2-patron-saint-of.html. The biggest lie of Benedict XVI is of course that John Paul II is now a Blessed when in fact he is not in Heaven but in a raging sea of fire as Paris Arrow saw the vision of St. Michael tying a giant millstone to the neck of John Paul II during his last World youth Day in 2002 when he refused to address the priest pedophilia that just erupted in Boston read the vision here http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2006/08/john-paul-ii-pope-of-sodomy.html.

Benedict XVI was John Paul II’s co-partner in crime at the Vatican because as Cardinal Ratzinger he ruled for 24 years since 1981 as Head of the Inquisition (sweetly called Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, after the attempted assassination of JP2) and together like a pair of hands, Cardinal Ratzinger and John Paul both led the cover-up of the Priestly Sodomy of Biblical Proportions committed by the JP2 Army John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army.

To complement means, A. Something that completes, makes up a whole, or brings to perfection. B. The quantity or number needed to make up a whole. C. Either of two parts that complete the whole or mutually complete each other.

John Paul II’s beatification “brings to perfection” Osama bin Laden’s death and they “mutually complete each other” because both were leaders of the most heinous crimes in the mass murders of souls and bodies in the latter part of the 20th and early part of the 21st century. The JP2 Army murdered the souls of the sodomized bodies of hundreds of thousands of children during the 27 years papacy of John Paul II.

Only a Higher Power than the Vatican and Benedict XVI’s infallible powers -- could arrange this Day of Infamy for Osama bin Laden, Adolf Hitler and John Paul II to together go down in history forever! Hip Hip Hooray! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on

Our weblogs theme song is The Battle Hymn of the Republic because The Higher Power has confirmed our unique comparison of the victims of the JP2 Army with the victims of Osama bin Laden’s army and JP2 Army has four times of the 9-11 attacks. President Obama kept saying the 9-11 had 3,000 and that means the JP2 Army has 4 times the victims of 9-11. We give a low estimate that the JP2 Army has 12,000 victims in the USA alone.

Someone asked us: Anonymous said...

Quick question: What criteria did you use to come up with the number 12,000 regarding victims of clergy abuse? Thank you. It is much too low, but maybe I missed a qualifier (time frame, for example).

Paris Arrow said...

There are 6,000 confirmed pedophile priests in the USA alone (not counting those of Ireland and other countries). They have been pedophiles for decades and were transferred from one parish to another -- just like Cardinal Bernard Law did to 80 pedophile priests in Boston. So to give -- each pedophile priests 2 victims -- is a very low estimate -- because for sure they had multiple victims - and different victims - when they went from one parish to another.

The 27 years papacy of John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger -- they were like a pair of hands at the Vatican and were (are) puppets of Opus Dei -- were callous and coldhearted towards children and therefore both have no moral voice whatsoever on any other matter. They have no respect -- no charity -- for children, for women and for the poor. Their doctrines and writings are all empty clanging cymbals as St. Paul said.

Compare the CRIMES and their VICTIMS in America

Victims - Attackers - Responsible Leaders

Pearl Harbor - 3,000 victims - 170 planes - Admiral Yamamoto

WTC & 9/11 attacks - 3,000 victims - 19 Muslims - Osama bin Laden

USA Priest Pedophilia - 12,000 victims - 6,000 priests - John Paul II & Benedict XVI & Opus Dei, the new Vatican Trinity

Opus Dei controlled the 27 years papacy of John Paul II and is therefore the foremost guilty party who aided and abetted and covered-up the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army. Opus Dei wrote most of John Paul II’s books and writings and to ensure their perpetuity as “All things Catholic”, they want JP2 to be beatified and canonized now by Benedict XVI so as not to take any chances on other future popes. The FACE of Opus Dei is John Paul II and the PHANTOM Spirit of Opus Dei is their founder St. Josemaria Escriva. John Paul II followed the Spirituality of St. Josemaria Escriva (so does Benedict XVI). Opus Dei is the most secretive and dangerous cult of the Catholic Church and they now control the Vatican Bank and the Vatican Swiss Banks.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

(Refrain)

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat -- we must now fight the JP2 Army forever and the deceptions of the false-saint John Paul II, read the pathological lies of the homily of Benedict XVI at the beatification http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/05/heil-satanas-jp2-patron-saint-of.html

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat -- John Paul II is in a raging sea of fire and he is useless for chidlren and youths who chant "JP2 we love you". The truth is John Paul II and Benedict XVI were partners-in-crimes at the Vatican for a quarter of a century. We must end the fairy tale of the Eucharist -- John Paul II and Benedict XVI and all priests and Cardinals and Bishops cannot re-incarnate dead cats and therefore they cannot re-incarnate the crucified Christ

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet! -- We msut fight for truth and liberty and the oppression of children, women and the poor. The Vatican Bank owns the Swiss Banks that hoard all the evil stolen money of despots and therefore they perpetuate the oppressions of poor countries and poor peoples.


Obviously, we can see the difference between the American secular government and the holy Catholic Church and how their leaders govern. (Secularism is Benedict XVI hand-picked enemy number 1). President Obama ordered the assassination of Osama bin Laden on May 1 and the Navy Seals succeeded in carrying it out and it coincided with the announcement of the death of Hitler of May 1, 1945, that was 66 years ago. Benedict XVI on the other hand as the Holy Father was abusing his papal powers with the speedy beatification of his partner-in-crime John Paul II with the pompous presence of all the other cohorts in crimes Cardinals and Bishops who covered-up the JP2 Army John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army for 27 years – including Cardinal Bernard Law who aided and abetted and transferred 80 pedophile priests from one parish to another in Boston for years.

And to top the Pharisee Benedict XVI, he fired a good bishop in Australia because the poor Bishop was sacked by “Temple Police” of the Vatican Temple for speaking about the ordination of women five years ago, read our related article Temple Police: The Australian is part of the Vatican media empire and the near-future demise of the Vatican Temple http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2011/05/temple-police-australian-is-part-of.html. Imagine the injustice and tyranny of Benedict XVI who condones Cardinal Bernard Law who should be the one sitting in jail but instead is sitting pretty as the High Priest of the St. Mary Major, the ‘mother of all basilicas in Rome’. The pathological lies of Benedict Xvi keeps surfacing and he is like a rat at the Vatican with nowhere to go because he is, like the Devil, the “Father of lies and he is a thief and he kills” as Jesus said.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic with the images of Christ (and not the image of John Paul II or Benedict XVI who is powerless for the salvation of children but is now the Holy Father of lies, is a murderer of the souls of children sodomized by the JP2 Army, and a thief at the Vatican Bank that hoard the evil moneys of despots of poor peoples from poor countries)


With images of Christ only

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

(Refrain)

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on


I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.

Refrain

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

Refrain

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free
While God is marching on.

Refrain

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.

Refrain

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."

Temple Police: The Australian is part of the Vatican media empire and the near-future demise of the Vatican Temple

We first revealed how The Australian, the largest newspaper in Australia, is part of the Vatican media empire and Opus Dei global media empire through the subtle vocabulary they use in this article John Paul II 4 million,Ayatollah Khomeini 9 million people at funeral! Cardinal Pell, fanatics cannot beatify the Pope of Pedophiles and Pederasts http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/04/john-paul-ii-4-millionayatollah.html Today The Australian came with a fiery voice of despotism in an article "Temple police get their man " - as only despots of the Medieval Age Inquistion can speak - against Bishop Morris who recently resigned because Benedict XVI sacked him for speaking about women's ordination. Well, we would like to remind these boastful "Temple Police" that they are in the good company of the Temple of Solomon.

It is with hateful articles like this (below) written by proud Opus Dei members that will make -- people not to feel sorry when the Vatican Temple in Rome will be destroyed by G-d and not one pillar will be left standing at St. Peter's Square -- just like the Temple of Solomon where it is all but rubbles now exactly as Jesus prophecied it would happen. He also got angry at the Temple Square over the merchants who were thieves and he overturned their tables. The Temple of Solomon was the "holiest" temple of its time and it existed during Christ's time. It was where Christ was presented in "Presentation in the Temple" and where his family made pilgrimages to every year (just like the Vatican is now a pilgrimage site for Catholics) and where he as a young boy, debated with the Holy Priests in the "Lost and Finding the Temple" which the Joyful Mysteries of John Paul II's Rosary meditate upon. Just because Chirst walked in that Temple of Solomon did not mean it was insdestructable, just like the Vatican is not indestructible just because John Paul II and Popes who live there are supposed to be "rocks" like St. Peter. The third Secret of Fatima predicted the total demise of the Vatican that is why they are not publising it or else there would be a Big Ben clock countdown to its demise. But this pathological lie of the beatification of John Paul II make a total mockery of Christ and a total insult to the Pure Blessed Mary the mother of Christ and his least brethrens of hundreds of thousands of victims of the JP2 Army, the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army http://jp2army.blogspot.com/. You heard it here first in our weblogs about the total demise of the Vatican, the Vatican Bank the worst thief on the Planet Earth where all corrupt moneys of despots are invested and therefore the Vatican and the Pope are the worst perpetuators of oppressions of poor people and the poor Third World countries.

Opus Dei controlled the 27 years papacy of John Paul II and is therefore the foremost guilty party who aided and abetted and covered-up the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army http://jp2army.blogspot.com/

There is no more “Holy Spirit” in the Vatican because there is now only Opus Dei autocracy and despotism rule. You can pray for divine guidance and ‘Come Holy Spirit’ Veni, Creator Spiritus or for anything you want but God won’t come because there is no more such a thing as “praying for God’s Will” as there is now only Opus Dei WORLD DOMINATION Agenda at the Vatican to follow or you are out and sacked.. One major proof of the despotism of Benedict XVI and the Vatican happened also on May 1 with the sacking of Australia’s Toowoomba Bishop William Morris (for his writing about women ordination) who was spied upon by the “Temple Police” -- who are actually Opus Dei foot soldiers. There is no ‘freedom of speech’ in the Catholic Church and a good Bishop like Morris was forced to resign for speaking up on behalf of women while Cardinal Bernard Law who aided and abetted 80 pedophile rapists-priests in Boston (after being forced by the laity to resign) was elevated by John Paul II and is now sitting pretty as Archpriest of St. Mary Major. Really, it is obvious which of the two deserves to resign. Read the list of theologians silenced by despot Ratzinger as Chief of the Inquisition the sweetly called CDF Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican during his 24 years reign with John Paul II. “But it is deadly. Many theologians have died or suffered from heart attacks and stress because of the unleashing of hatred shouted by those who are sure, because Ratzinger has said it...” Beware! Benedict XVI-Cardinal Ratzinger and his allies can be violent http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2010/03/benedict-xvi-cardinal-ratzinger-and-his.html

Temple police get their man

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/temple-police-get-their-man/story-e6frg6nf-1226051428753

BISHOP William Morris's fall from grace began when he ditched the Roman collar and put on a tie.

It was an early break from tradition in 1993 for the then newly ordained bishop, and a symbol of the progressive style he brought from his former Gold Coast parish to ultra-conservative Toowoomba.

Not everyone liked it. Some priests and, later, a secret fundamentalist group of Catholics from in and out of the diocese - dubbed the "temple police" - began voicing opposition, sending a stream of letters of complaint to Rome.

On Monday, after an emotional letter from Morris was read out at masses across the Darling Downs, they finally got their man.

In a tersely worded Vatican announcement the next day, Morris, 67, became the first Australian bishop in living memory to be publicly sacked, under the guise of "early retirement", for doctrinal disobedience.

The extraordinary move, pushed by Pope Benedict XVI, was made even more compelling by Morris's refusal to tread the well-worn path of other dumped bishops - who retire for "ill health" - and go quietly.

Instead, Morris - who last year set a brave precedent in taking real action over a sex-abuse scandal at a Toowoomba church school - accused the Pope of running a latter-day Inquisition against him and ruling over bishops through fear.

"It has been my experience and the experience of others that Rome controls bishops by fear, and if you ask questions or speak openly on subjects that Rome declares closed ... you are censored very quickly, told your leadership is defective ... and are threatened with dismissal," he said in a letter to priests in his diocese.

The sacking, which followed last year's dismissal of rebel Brisbane priest Peter Kennedy, has renewed debate on the rigidity of the Catholic Church in the modern world, and of the unwavering rule the Vatican has over clergy.

In the end, it was a 2006 Advent pastoral letter to parishioners that was the undoing of Morris.

The letter raised the option, in the face of a shortage of priests, of ordaining women and married men and recognising the Anglican, Lutheran and Uniting Church orders.

An official account has been obtained by The Weekend Australian of the events leading up to Morris's effective sacking, put together in a report by the bishop's "consultors" - a group of priests appointed under canon law to each bishop.

In their report, the consultors said Morris came to the diocese with an "easy and open approach" - evidenced by his removal of the Roman collar, which immediately rubbed people up the wrong way.

His sartorial style can be seen in a photograph of him with a clown face, sent to The Weekend Australian by his critics.

The consultors' report gives a rare insight into the workings of the Vatican and the unforgiving stance it took against Morris, first demanding his resignation in 2007 - less than a year after the offending letter.

But it also shows that the 2006 letter was a culmination of more than a decade of discord with Rome, stretching back to the 1990s when the Vatican cracked down on the illicit substitution of "general absolution" for the practice of individual confession of sins to a priest.

In the consultors' report, Toowoomba Vicar-General Peter Dorfield noted that, after his appointment in 1993, Morris established guidelines for the use of general absolution. The report said the general absolution issue led to a dispute between the bishop and Cardinal Francis Arinze, the Nigerian-born Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. "Some of this dispute took on a personal aspect", according to the report.

But it was the 2006 letter that brought things to a head.

In 1994, pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter declared that the conversation about the ordination of women had ended, with the late pope amending the Code of Canon Law in 1998 to make such discussions a punishable offence.

Clergy breaking the rule risked suspension, removal from office and excommunication.

Within weeks of his letter being sent to Rome by one of his detractors, Morris was called to Rome to explain - a request he refused in February 2007 on the grounds he was busy with "serious pastoral reasons".

The following month, Morris was notified that Archbishop Charles Chaput from Denver, Colorado, had been appointed Apostolic Visitor to Toowoomba. He arrived in April, spending his first night with Archbishop John Bathersby in Brisbane.

Curiously, Bathersby claimed this week that he didn't know why Morris had been sacked: "I don't know why it happened, you see, and I would very much like to know."

A native American and member of the Capuchin order of priests, Chaput, now 66, has been an outspoken critic of US President Barack Obama over liberalised abortion laws and bioethics.

After a three-day visit to Toowoomba - where he interviewed supporters and opponents of Morris - Chaput delivered his report to the Congregation of Bishops in Rome in May 2007.

At the same time, according to the consultors' report, Morris was in Rome for a scheduled meeting with three of the Pope's kitchen cabinet - cardinals Giovanni Battista Re, William Levada and Arinze - but it did not go ahead. And Morris has never been shown Chaput's report.

Several months later, in September 2007, Morris got the gist of the report when he received an unsigned memo from the Congregation of Bishops asking him to resign.

Morris was shocked, writing back to Rome asking for time to "reflect" on the memorandum and promising to reply after his October holidays.

But Rome wasn't willing to wait. On October 3, 2007, the Congregation of Bishops upped the ante, stating the request for the bishop's resignation was "being made in the name of the Holy Father".

Morris wrote to Re - head of the Congregation for Bishops - saying he would meet the cardinals in January if he could be accompanied by Bathersby - a longtime friend - and Adelaide Archbishop Philip Wilson, president of the Australian Episcopal Conference.

The meeting was booked for Morris but Re refused to allow the progressive Bathersby to attend.

Morris was also "discouraged" from bringing a canonical adviser to the meeting in Rome with cardinals Re, Levada and Arinze.

"The bishop also asked to speak with the Holy Father but was told this would only be permitted after he had resigned," the report said.

Morris listened, and a few days later formally wrote to Re saying he would not step down.

After Re responded, again calling on Morris to resign, the embattled bishop wrote a more formal "statement of position" that was sent to the three cardinals. Morris also wrote to the Vatican's Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura - the highest court in the Catholic Church - but was told he could not appeal because "no legal proceedings had taken place".

In October 2008, Re demanded Morris resign by the end of November and, if he didn't, the "bishop would be removed".

Again, Morris refused in writing before penning a Christmas Eve letter to the Pope. It elicited an invitation to meet the pontiff in June the next year, along with Wilson.

"It was obvious that the Pope had been thoroughly briefed as he reiterated the demands of the three cardinals and indicated that the bishop's talents lay elsewhere than as the bishop of a diocese," the report said about the meeting.

"The Pope urged Archbishop Wilson to work with Bishop Morris to find him a suitable national position in the Australian church."

Morris had again refused and, a month later, Re instructed him to submit his resignation "as he had promised the Pope he would do".

"The bishop maintained he had not made such a promise," the report said. He wrote to the Pope in November 2009 saying that, "in conscience", he could not resign.

"On 22 December, 2009, Pope Benedict replied to Bishop Morris requesting that Bishop Morris resign from office and reminding him that there is no appeal from papal decision," the report said.

"The Pope repeated the serious concerns he had with Bishop Morris's position on the ordination of women and recognition of the orders of Anglicans and other churches."

The turning point came in January last year when Wilson travelled to Rome carrying a written proposal from Morris that he would retire in October 2013, when he turned 70 - bishops normally retire at 75.

In the letter, Morris stated that if the proposal were not accepted, he would be willing to go in the middle of this year - after seeing through the mediation process for the sex-abuse case in his diocese.

Re wrote back saying the Pope would accept the "proposal" allowing him to remain in office until this month but made no mention of the sex-abuse case.

"While the bishop's offer was to 'retire', the letter used the term 'resign'," the report said.

With the sex-abuse case dragging on, Morris wrote to the Vatican, and later the Pope, late last year asking for his departure to be delayed until the mediation was finalised.

Morris's appeal for more time was refused and on February 21 the Apostolic Nuncio (Vatican ambassador) to Australia, Giuseppe Lazzarotto, told Morris to resign, informing him that it would be announced on May 2.

Morris again refused, saying it would be an "admission of guilt" to the allegations against him. But he knew his time was up and, in March, he wrote to Lazzarotto accepting "early retirement".

Bishop's firing makes pope's priorities clear
An NCR editorial
May. 04, 2011
By An NCR Editorial

The Australian Catholic diocese of Toowoomba, encompassing more than 300,000 square miles, has just a relative handful of healthy priests to serve the church’s 35 parishes. So it came as no surprise to Toowoomba’s Catholics when the area’s bishop, William M. Morris, addressed the priest shortage in a candid but still cautious Advent 2006 pastoral letter.

“We do face an uncertain future with regard to the number of active priests in our diocese,” wrote Morris. “Other options,” he wrote, “may well” need be considered. These include:

1.“ordaining married, single or widowed men who are chosen and endorsed by their local parish community;
2.welcoming former priests, married or single, back to active ministry;
3.ordaining women, married or single;
4.recognizing Anglican, Lutheran and Uniting Church Orders.”
For these words, this week the Vatican announced that Pope Benedict XVI has fired Morris. Eighteen years as bishop ended with the stroke of a papal pen. (Click here for original the news story about the Morris firing.)

Some obvious but necessary points need making:

First, it turns out it’s really not that difficult for the pope to give a bishop a pink slip. In the course of the quarter-century clergy sexual abuse cover-up, there’s been considerable handwringing over just this question. Bishops don’t “work for” the pope, we have been told. Bishops are “fathers” to their flock – with all the unconditional love and commitment that entails – not employees subject to the whims, well-intentioned or otherwise, of the boss. Canonical procedures must be followed.

Apparently, that’s just so much hooey. If the pope and his advisers care deeply about an issue about which a bishop has publicly raised questions – such as women priests and optional celibacy – a way can be found to dismiss that bishop.

And – noteworthy because it goes to some underlying issues – a bishop who acts against church teaching and law related to sexually abusive priests apparently need fear no such reprisal.

Philadelphia Cardinal Justin Rigali, for example, continues a life befitting a prince in splendorous surroundings, even as his flouting of church procedures (and perhaps civil law) resulted in nearly 30 diocesan priests facing administrative suspension and heat from local prosecutors.

And not to forget Cardinal Bernard Law, orchestrator of the Boston clergy abuse cover-up. His punishment? An extended Roman holiday and a healthy pension. Meanwhile, Morris gets the door.

The pope’s priorities are clear.

The pervasive intellectual chill in the church reaches beyond the towers of academia (note the recent chastisement of theologian St. Joseph Sr. Elizabeth Johnson) or to those who directly challenge the rules – Maryknoll Fr. Roy Bourgeois’ open support for women’s ordination a most recent case in point. (Bourgeois is facing excommunication for saying what he thinks on the subject.)

Now even those directly in the line of apostolic succession are forbidden to speak freely.

Note that Morris did not offer answers to the provocativelyposed semi-questions on celibacy and ordination he raised that Advent. Instead, employing what one advocacy group terms the “progressive bishop’s style book,” he couched his concerns more obliquely. (No doubt to avoid Rome’s wrath. Lot of good that did him.)

Today, it seems, even such carefully couched queries are completely verboten; such so-called “open questions” (non-doctrinal in every sense of the word) such as the ordination of married men are grounds for dismissal. That the overwhelming majority of clergy (not to mention laypeople) think the failure to even consider options like married priests in the midst of a clergy shortage crisis goes beyond Dilbertesque mismanagement. It is, to employ the psychobabble of the era, completely dysfunctional.

As we prepare to celebrate the feast of the first pope next month, are we still permitted to remind church fathers that Peter was a married man? That this Holy Father was likely a human father? Or should Mrs. Peter and her progeny, like so many nettlesome Stalin-era apparatchiks, be airbrushed from history?

Because of Morris, we know that the dysfunction flows right from the top. Canon law may be more flexible than previously promoted, but a bishop’s dismissal cannot be shuffled to an underling, buried, as in Bourgeois’ case, in a bureaucratic chain of command. No, the canning of a bishop is a task only a pope can command.

And he has made his priorities quite clear.

While the reasons for Morris’ dismissal are relatively clear, the process remains an unholy mess, shrouded in secrecy.

Soon after Morris’ 2006 Advent pastoral was released, Benedict sent Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput to “investigate” the incident, which is a little like sending the fox to investigate the hens. Given his well-known views on the concerns raised by Morris (Chaput is more Catholic than the pope on these issues), we are skeptical that Toowoomba’s bishop got a fair hearing. There’s a relatively small number of right wing Catholics in the diocese (Morris and others call them the “Temple Police”) who have long been after the bishop. That Chaput gave them undue weight and deference seems more than plausible.

You know the type. In the U.S., they are the crowd that takes marching orders from The Wanderer, their time at Mass searching for a violation of a rubric rather than receiving whatever wisdom or grace might come their way. Then, having detected an “Alleluia” where an “Amen” was called for, they write letters to Vatican congregations, hoping for a sympathetic ear to their pathetic pleas.

Their Australian equivalents were, it appears, successful in transforming Morris’ molehill into a mountain.

But, we acknowledge, our skepticism is partly emotional, or perhaps ideological. We’re inclined to give Morris a break because we’re inclined to agree with him that the issues he raises require airing.

But, and here’s the point, we simply don’t know what Chaput found because no one’s talking. Not even Morris has received a copy of Chaput’s report (assuming something has been reduced to writing).

We presume, given the public nature of Morris’ offenses, that Chaput’s findings have something to do with the bishop brainstorming some remedies to the priest shortage in the face of the real crisis in his local church.

Did Chaput find something more dastardly, such as a bishop speaking like an adult to his church? Heaven forbid. We likely will never know. When NCR asked Chaput to respond to a series of questions regarding his apostolic visitation to Morris’ diocese, he declined to answer, explaining that “any apostolic visitation is governed by strict confidentiality. This is for the benefit of all parties involved.”

So are we to believe Morris has benefitted from being tossed out without ever having been allowed to defend himself against Chaput's findings, which were never shared with the Australian prelate? This is the kind of trial and judgement one more often associates with China or Iran. The Catholic church?

The real scandal to the faithful in this matter has nothing to do with the way Morris has conducted himself. It has everything to do with priorities and processes within our church today. It has much to do with the trampling of human rights and professed values of decency and charity by our church’s prelates, in this case including, sad to say, Benedict himself.

This is no way, shall we say, to set a Christian example – or manage the church.

In 2003, Fred Gluck, a former managing partner of McKinsey & Company who currently serves on the board of the National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management, wrote a memo to church leaders. It’s crafted in managementese, but disregard the jargon for the moment and pay attention to the message.
Wrote Gluck:

•“Your organization [the church] has no effective central point of leadership that can energize the necessary program change.
•“Your leadership is aging and also largely committed to the status quo or even the status ante.
•“Your tradition of hierarchy dominates most of your thinking about management.”
•“Coming to grips with this formidable set of challenges in an organization as historically successful as yours will be a daunting challenge, and can only be accomplished by a comprehensive program of change with strong leadership from the top,” he concluded.
No one in a position of authority paid any discernable attention to Gluck eight years ago. Sadly, we don’t expect that to change.

The pope has made his priorities all too clear.

Cardinal Ratzinger ran 27 years papacy of John Paul II and therefore is culpable in the JP2 Army...like Osama bin Laden

John Paul II ruled for 27 years and he had all the chance to turn the tide of Priestly Sodomy of Biblical Proportions committed by his JP2 Army of Pedophiles and Pederasts Rapists-Priests but he chose not to and covered-it up together with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who was the Head of the Inquisition or CDF since 1981 since the shooting of JP2 at St. Peter's Square -- both powerful men did and said nothing to STOP the infestation of priest pedophilia within the Catholic Church.

May Day: Both Hitler and bin Laden Announced Dead on May 1

Despite the jubilation (mostly) worldwide over the death of Osama bin Laden, the biggest enemy so far this century, it's easy to forget the historic coincidence of the death of the biggest mass murderer of the previous century.

On May 1, 1945, Germany announced that Adolf Hitler was dead, leading to the end of the allied campaign in Europe during World War II. That same date 66 years later, President Obama announced the death of the al-Qaeda leader and international terrorist.


9/11 victims 5,000. JP2 Army 100,000s. May Day: both Hitler and bin Laden Announced Dead on May 1 on John Paul II Beatification Day B-Day

The “Holy Spirit” has blessed our weblogs -- with the confirmation of our unique comparison of the 9⁄11 attacks victims to the JP2 Army John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army victims -- with the May 1 killing of Osama bin Laden to coincide with the B-DAY Beatification Day of John Paul II. That the fate of these two worst leaders - Osama bin Laden and John Paul II - who led two of the most notorious crimes in the latter part of the 20th and early part of the 21st century, would coincide on the same day can only be attributed and planned by a Higher Power. The NY Daily News headline was “Osama Bin Laden, Adolf Hitler both declared dead on May 1”. Osama Bin Laden and Adolf Hitler share a towering reputation for evil – and also an anniversary. (Hitler’s death was in 1945, see photo below) Time NewsFeed also headlined “May Day: Both Hitler and bin Laden Announced Dead on May 1” That was a triple huge confirmation for our weblogs because we have also compared the similarities of Hitler’s Army with the JP2 Army read our related article The Nazis of Hitler and the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army are an inherently all-male hierarchy born out of the Devil’s Bowels http://jp2army.blogspot.com/2011/01/nazis-and-john-paul-ii-pedophiles.html. Osama led the 9⁄11 attacks against the Twin Towers with 5,000 victims hit by 2 planes within half-hour while John Paul II led the Priestly Sodomy of Biblical Proportions committed by his hidden John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army with hundreds of thousands of children raped victims -- thanks to his cover-up during his entire 27 years papacy. Osama’s victims are all physically dead but John Paul II’s many victims are still alive suffering a ‘living hell’. And Benedict XVI and the Vatican’s reply for these poor victims are papal farts and some crocodile tears quickie apology and this pompous B-DAY Beatification Day of John Paul II (with the presence of Cardinal Bernard Law who aided and abetted 80 pedophile priests in Boston.) Every year there is a commemoration of the 9⁄11 victims attended by dignitaries and a memorial is built in Ground Zero in New York City. The victims of the JP2 Army also deserve a monument (in every city where they occurred) and annual commemoration throughout the USA just like the 9⁄11 victims have because their numbers are estimated at 12,000 which is double those of the 5,000 victims of the 9⁄11 attacks. And all other countries affected by the JP2 Army with hundreds of thousands of victims should also do likewise, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Australia, etc. We will soon describe the John Paul II Millstone monument (we are trying to make it a practical scale and approvable by the government Parks Department).

We have been posting this “Compare the CRIMES and their VICTIMS in America” since day one in July 2006 and G-d has confirmed it on May 1, 2011. We received many mockeries and OD threats for it but we persevere because we believe in the vision of Paris Arrow of St. Michael tying a giant millstone to the neck of John Paul II and his neck broke and was thrown into a raging sea of fire during the last World Youth Day of JP2 in Toronto in 2002. After that horrific vision at WYD 2002, John Paul II went on to live for 3 more years (Paris Arrow kept waiting for JP2 to do something) but he was unrepentant and without compunction towards victims and instead he elevated Cardinal Bernard Law to St. Mary Major (to papal fart at us Bostonians who forced Law to resign). St. Michael gave John Paul II all the chances to turn the tide of Priestly Sodomy of Biblical Proportions within the Catholic Church but JP2 adamantly refused (he wouldn’t write at length about it among his thousands of speeches and writings) because he was too narcissist and grandiose with his legacy as “John Paul II the Great” to take a look at the plight of poor sodomized children and he did not want their raped stories to be included among his papacy books. Read the vision of Paris Arrow here http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2006/08/john-paul-ii-pope-of-sodomy.html So now G-d has crowned our non-monetary weblogs with this biggest coincidence of the death of Osama bin Laden (and Adolf Hitler) on the pathological lie beatification of John Paul II so we can show and prove that the ultimate corruption and the most evil institution in the world is the Vatican and that Benedict XVI and the papacy are evil despots (wolves dressed in white) and that John Paul II is the FACE and Mask of Power of Opus Dei who now controls the Vatican.

Compare the CRIMES and their VICTIMS in America

Victims - Attackers - Responsible Leaders

Pearl Harbor - 3,000 victims - 170 planes - Admiral Yamamoto

WTC & 9/11 attacks - 5,000 victims - 19 Muslims - Osama bin Laden

USA Priest Pedophilia - 12,000 victims - 6,000 priests - John Paul II & Benedict XVI & Opus Dei, the new Vatican Trinity
Opus Dei controlled the 27 years papacy of John Paul II and is therefore the foremost guilty party who aided and abetted and covered-up the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army.

There is no more “Holy Spirit” in the Vatican because there is now only Opus Dei autocracy and despotism rule. You can pray for divine guidance and ‘Come Holy Spirit’ Veni, Creator Spiritus or for anything you want but God won’t come because there is no more such a thing as “praying for God’s Will” as there is now only Opus Dei WORLD DOMINATION Agenda at the Vatican to follow or you are out and sacked.. One major proof of the despotism of Benedict XVI and the Vatican happened also on May 1 with the sacking of Australia’s Toowoomba Bishop William Morris (for his writing about women ordination) who was spied upon by the “Temple Police” -- who are actually Opus Dei foot soldiers. There is no ‘freedom of speech’ in the Catholic Church and a good Bishop like Morris was forced to resign for speaking up on behalf of women while Cardinal Bernard Law who aided and abetted 80 pedophile rapists-priests in Boston (after being forced by the laity to resign) was elevated by John Paul II and is now sitting pretty as Archpriest of St. Mary Major. Really, it is obvious which of the two deserves to resign. Read the list of theologians silenced by despot Ratzinger as Chief of the Inquisition the sweetly called CDF Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican during his 24 years reign with John Paul II. “But it is deadly. Many theologians have died or suffered from heart attacks and stress because of the unleashing of hatred shouted by those who are sure, because Ratzinger has said it...” Beware! Benedict XVI-Cardinal Ratzinger and his allies can be violent http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2010/03/benedict-xvi-cardinal-ratzinger-and-his.html

Benedict XVI has no power to say « Let there be God » in the Eucharist just like he has no power to say « Let there be light » in Genesis http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/12/benedict-xvi-has-no-power-to-say-let.html

Listen up people, Catholics and WYD young men and women, DO NOT BUY STATUES, medals and souvenirs of John Paul II but give your money to the Red Cross who are immediately on the scene in all disaster areas in the world. Give your Catholic moneys to the Doctors without Borders, for water wells in Africa, the homeless in your area, etc. Do not give your money to the Catholic Church because the Vatican owns the Swiss Banks where all despots like Mubarak, Kadhafi, name it, are safely invested and therefore the Vatican is the ultimate perpetrators of poor peoples and poor Third World countries. The political status of the Vatican must end because all those Papal Nuncios have diplomatic immunity and therefore are the perfect conduit of corrupt moneys of wealthy corrupt people in the world.

John Paul II WYD had no role with Arab youths who liberated Egypt from Mubarak who stole then deposited billions into Vatican Swiss Banks http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/02/holy-heist-john-paul-ii-wyd-had-no-role.html


John Paul II ruled for 27 years and he had all the chance to turn the tide of Priestly Sodomy of Biblical Proportions committed by his JP2 Army of Pedophiles and Pederasts Rapists-Priests but he chose not to and covered-it up together with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who was the Head of the Inquisition or CDF since 1981 since the shooting of JP2 at St. Peter's Square -- both powerful men did and said nothing to STOP the infestation of priest pedophilia within the Catholic Church.



Osama bin Laden also in white like Pope John Paul II

Priest 's $18,000 groceries a year... eating the lifestyle of the rich and powerful sorcerer of God's flesh and blood

John Paul II lived in the lap of luxury at the Vatican so does Benedict XVI now live in the lap of luxury and so do all priests sorcerers of Christ flesh and blood.

Outraged Readers React

By St. Marys

Here's just one. Requested that we attribute this piece as, "Submitted by another disgusted St. Mary's parishioner."

$18,000 in the Real World

What St. Mary's has endured the past couple years has been an education to say the least, but on a personal level, the recent disclosure of Fr. Ed Namiotka's annual grocery expenses has hit our household hard. While we fully realize that diocesan priests do not take a vow of poverty, neither do the laity. And yet I don't know anyone who spends anywhere near $19,000.00 a year on groceries for only two to three people.

Why does this matter to me? A couple of reasons.

First, we're in the midst of a recession. At our house, we fell on hard times not long before people started using the "R" word. My husband lost his job and with it, our health insurance. Now, because we try to live our lives a certain way, his former job was not one that brought in a tremendous income, either. He worked for a non-profit organization, believing the work he did for it did some good in the world.

After he lost that job, believe it or not, it was tough to find a even "crappy," menial work. It seemed that we were both considered "overqualified" for work at places like Wawa and Walmart. Finally he got one of those part-time jobs (because making you "full-time" means they have to give you insurance), and to make matters worse, it was a third-shift (overnight) position. We decided he should take it because we thought that eventually, he'd get a "real" job. But despite many interviews, for which he'd have to stay up all "night," nothing panned out. The jobs just weren't out there. So what started out as a job taken to fill-in-the-gaps for a month or two turned into a year.

We never saw each other. He slept by day, while I homeschooled and took care of the kids. I woke him up in time for me to go to work in the afternoon. He was paid not much better than minimum wage. We were barely surviving, but we took our ability to survive at all, to not lose our house and still (barely) eat as a sign of God's providence.

At that time, excluding my meager income, we were living off of approximately $13,500 a year. Throw in my part-time income and we came close to (still under) Ed Namiotka's annual grocery expenses. And that was for a family of four.

Now I'm not complaining about that year. We held onto our house. We still ate. We cashed in all our savings and retirement money and prepaid our mortgage and utilities for a few months, anticipating what was to come. But despite the hard times of that year, we felt that God's hand was on us, seeing us through it all. Things have been meager ever since because my husband started his own business, which we believed was the direction God wanted us to go. But when you have a new business, money doesn't come right away. You have to build up a clientele. And we really still don't have any savings to fall back on, like we used to.

So what bothers me? What bothers me is that two to three priests are eating a year's income. What bothers me is that it's not like they're even paying for this food. That bill is being footed by the people of Queen of Angels Parish in Landisville (Buena), and now, it seems, us.


As if that wasn't enough, Namiotka put it in a new kitchen with fancy granite countertops and high end stainless steel appliances only last year. Needless to say, our own kitchen has tile counter tops, and we like them fine. We don't have a microwave or dishwasher.

What else bothers me? All these extravagant expenses are happening at a time when Namiotka is telling us that we simply cannot afford to keep all our churches and cannot afford the things we need at St. Mary's. At the same time, he has hired a "personal assistant" whose salary is presumably coming from us (although neither Namiotka nor Kathy Mensinger, the assistant, will give us an answer on this). Namiotka is spending more than $18,000 per year on groceries at a time when many parishioners are truly struggling to keep afloat and feed their families.

But no matter to Namiotka. He's got a new car, a new kitchen, and he's eating just fine.

What makes the food expense of the rectory at Queen of Angels even more outrageous is the fact that the rectory is located in Landisville, where a whopping 24.6% of the population lives BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. Click here for more details. The median household income before taxes is only $30,625/yr (not remarkably better than Camden), compared to nearly $20,000/yr. food expenses at Fr. Ed Namiotka's rectory.

"For many, as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their "shame." Their minds are occupied with earthly things." Philippians 3:18-19.

FOOD EXPENSES for the Rectory at Queen of Angels in Buena, Fr. Ed Namiotka, Pastor (each of these figures is for the fiscal year ending in June):
2010: $18,531.24
2009: $18,272.44
2008: $19,937.45
During these time periods, Fr. Namiotka was living in the rectory with 1 or 2 other priests.

I believe it was St. Jerome, whose feast day we celebrated yesterday, who said,
"A fat stomach never breeds fine thoughts."

The John Paul II earthquake faults is being felt as far away as the Land Down Under in Australia where a retired priest listed a litany of JP2 faults before the beatification of John Paul II in Rome where 1 million of fanatic Catholics are expected to attend. 4 million fanatic Catholics attended JP2 funeral in 2005 where they chanted and held giant strategic banners of Santo Subito. Father Eric Hodgens who wrote the scathing JP2 article in the quarterly magazine of the National Council of Priests of Australia is a retired old priest which means he is not one of those young Catholic fanatics “WYD JP2 Generation” who go around the world every two or 3 years chanting “JP2 we love you”. Father Hodgens wrote that John Paul II had a "lust for power . . . taken to monumental proportions."
