The church in Rome that the saints visited


Related image
Today morning I went for Mass at the basilica  Sant' Andrea della Fratte, Rome. The old priest in his homily on All Saints Day, today,  remarked that through this church many saints had passed. He then began naming the saints who visited that church and prayed there. He also mentioned martyrs.He began speaking about the martyrs all over the world . He remembered  Catholics  who were martyred for the Faith in Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, Rumania.
The church which draws many pilgrims, aside from the tourists, is famous for the conversion of the Jewish financier Alphonse Ratisbonne. He became a priest and missionary in the Middle East after he saw a vision of the Blessed Mother in this church near Piazza Spagna. At the Altar of the Miracle, where the priest offered Mass not facing the people, and which still has its Communion Rail, Ratisbonne in a flash saw Our Lady as he entered the church.She showed him the beauty of the Catholic Church and its necessity for the salvation of all people.

In his homily today the Minim Father said that the parent of St. Theresa of Lisseux, who was recently canonised,  prayed there.
Near Sant' Andrea della Fratte, further down the road, the young St. Teresa of Liseux and her father lived, when they came to Rome to meet the pope.
St. Maximillian Kolbe came here often when the was studying in Rome. He also offered his First Mass at the Altar of the Miracle.

Cardinal Ottaviani did not know

Image result for Cardinal  Ottaviani
Alfredo Ottaviani (29 October 1890 – 3 August 1979) was an Italian cardinal of the Catholic ChurchPope Pius XII named him cardinal in 1953. He served as Secretary of the Holy Office in the Roman Curia from 1959 to 1966 when that dicastery was reorganised as the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, of which he was Pro-Prefect until 1968. -Wikipedia

Cardinal Ottaviani personally did not know any one saved without 'faith and baptism'.
He personally did not know any one saved outside the Church i.e without faith and baptism.
Cardinal Ottaviani did not personally know any exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Yet he supported the excommunication of Fr. Leonard Feeney and the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII. 
For him being saved with the baptism of desire, the baptism of blood and in invincible ignorance referred to cases without the baptism of water.They were explicit  and visible for him. They were explicit and objectively seen for them to be exceptions to the traditional interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. They were objective for him and so Fr.Leonard Feeney was condemned since he could not see any such objective case and made this known.
We now know that there are no known cases of persons saved without faith and baptism. There are no known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. We humans cannot see or know any such exception, in the present or past.
There was a mistake made by Cardinal Alfredo  Ottaviani in the Fr. Leonard Feeney case.
-Lionel Andrades

Similarly for Pope Pius XII, Cardinal Ottaviani and Cardinal Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani was an exception to AB was an exception to the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.So they criticised Fr. Leonard Feeney and the St. Benedict Center for not accepting B as an exception to A.- from Sedevacantists after months of discussions cannot answer if Lumen Gentium 16 is explicit or implicit and if it is an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus http://eucharistandmission.blogspot.it/2015/10/message-incomplete-four-months-have.html

Pakistan: Police fabricate false blasphemy accusation against Christian

Pakistan: Police fabricate false blasphemy accusation against Christian

  BY 


Rogue cops who act as servants of powerful elites are not limited to Pakistan, but in this instance, the police share the Islamic supremacist ideology of Muslim mobs who terrorize Christians over false blasphemy accusations, and did their bidding. The Pakistani blasphemy laws are an occasion of ongoing human rights abuses, but no one seems particularly concerned: after all, no “Islamophobia” is being committed, so what’s the problem?
police beating Pakistan
“Sargodha: Police fabricated false blasphemy accusation againt [sic] 24-year-old Christian,”Christians in Pakistan, October 19, 2015:
Court hearing of a Christian youth accused of blasphemy postponed.
In keeping with details, court hearing of Naveed John, resident of Sargodha has been postponed because of the fact that the judge was on leave. Naveed was charged of 295-C (blasphemy law) over blasphemy accusations on October 8. It has been reported that Naveed is pining away behind the bars.
The defence counsel of Naveed is ready to defend him during the blasphemy suit. The legal team defending him, when appeared in the court for the hearing they were told that the judge was on leave and so the police would not present Naveed in the court nor will they present their findings over the case. Moreover, the case is scheduled to be heard on 20th October.
It was on October 8, that a police constable Muhammad Naeem lodged a complaint against 24-year-old, Christian, Naveed John claiming that he has seen Naveed disrespecting the Quran and Islam. Moreover, the claimant Muhammad Naeem said that Naveed John had a sword with Quranic verses engraved on it and he placed that sword next to his feet and legs. Thus by placing that sword next to his legs and feet he had shown contempt, thus committed blasphemy. Soon after an FIR no.619/15 was lodged, police hooked Naveed.
It has been learnt that Naveed had been praying for people with physical sicknesses and demon possessed people. He was know for this in his area and so people from other religions also came to him for prayers. The sword which has been the cause of the accusations was actually gifted to Naveed by one of his Muslim devotees which Naveed took from him and placed it in his prayer room.
On the other hand, the family of Naveed John are facing threats and are in fear of any possible attempt of revenge from the Muslims. Advocate Sadaf Saddique, Sakhawat Masih- elder brother of Naveed revealed that just a few days prior to Naveed’s arrest police arrived at their home and asked for a huge sum of money as a bribe, in return of providing them security.
Furthermore, police threatened them that if they fail to give the amount demanded, the family would have to face dire consequences. Sakhawat Masih stated that Naveed did not ask for money from any one who came to him for prayer. In such circumstances it was not possible to give such a huge amount o the police, he said. He alleged that police arrested Naveed from a street and later on, the police raided the house and forcibly took the sword and fabricated the whole story.

UK: Muslim group boycotts, threatens police over investigation of Muslim rape gangs that destroyed lives of 1,400 girls

  BY 

Muhbeen Hussain
“Fury as Islamic group orders Muslims in Rotherham to BOYCOTT police over child sex scandal,”Express, October 29, 2015:
A Muslim group is boycotting the police over its treatment following the Rotherham abuse scandal
The British Muslim Youth (BMY) is protesting the perceived persecution of Muslims in the aftermath of the town’s shameful scandal.
In a message posted online the group ordered fellow Muslims to immediately cut all ties with law enforcement or face being made pariahs in their own neighbourhoods.
British Muslim Youth (BMY) warned its members would not be “held responsible for acts of personal self-defence” and said it could no longer trust South Yorkshire Police because of the ongoing “marginalisation and dehumanisation” of Muslims.
Last August a devastating independent report was published revealing how at least 1,400 girls as young as 11 were groomed and sexually exploited over a 14-year period by gangs of predominantly Pakistani men.
South Yorkshire Police and the local council were both savaged for failing to avert the scandal, with officers later claiming they failed to intervene for fear of being branded racist.
But in its message BMY said this was a “pernicious lie” which the police had used to cover up their own scandalous failings.

US to Allocate Additional $100Mln to Support Syrian Opposition




This moderate Syrian opposition is made up of Islamic jihadists. Former Defense Intelligence Agency director Michael Flynn recently confirmed that the Obama Administration knowingly decided to support al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, and directly enabled the rise of the Islamic State. The rebels are not by any stretch of the imagination “moderates”: they’re pro-Sharia Islamic jihad terrorists. Remember, the Obama Administration spent $500 million to find and train “moderates” in Syria, and could only come up with fifty trainees.

US to Allocate Additional $100Mln to Support Syrian Opposition,” Sputnik, October 31, 2015:
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The United States will allocate additional $100 million to provide assistance to the so-called Syrian moderate opposition, thus amount of US support since 2012 will total $500 million, US Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement Saturday.
“This morning, I am pleased to announce that the United States will provide an additional $100 million in assistance in support of the Syrian opposition — bringing our total support for their efforts to $500 million,” a statement said.
Syria has been engulfed in a civil war since 2011, as Syrian government forces fight opposition factions and extremist groups, including Islamic State (ISIL) and the Nusra Front insurgent groups.
Since the beginning of the Syrian civil war, the United States and its allies have supported opposition factions they consider to be “moderate,” and have called for President Bashar Assad to resign….

Graphic video: Islamic State executes man by running him over with tank, justifies act by quoting Qur’an

“The video was released on October 24, 2015, and is titled ‘And If You Punish [An Enemy, Oh Believers], Punish With An Equivalent Of That With Which You Were Harmed.'” That is from the Qur’an: “So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you.” (Qur’an 2:194) Not that this has anything to do with Islam.
Islamic State tank video
“WATCH: ISIS Executes Man by Running Him Over With Tank,” Heavy, October 26, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
A new video purportedly released by the Islamic State shows an alleged soldier with the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) being run over by a tank driven by an ISIS militant. The video was released on October 24, 2015, and is titled “And If You Punish [An Enemy, Oh Believers], Punish With An Equivalent Of That With Which You Were Harmed.” It is stated to have been filmed in “Wilayat Homs”, or “State of Homs”, an ISIS-occupied region of Syria.
In the video, the alleged SAA soldier, who is allegiant to President Bashar al-Assad, is shown being interviewed by ISIS while dressed in an orange jumpsuit. According to ISIS, the man “confessed” to having run over dead bodies of Islamic State fighters with tanks. The footage then jumps to the man, shackled with a tank driving at him. He jumps in front of the tank track, perhaps to expedite his execution…

Catholic bishops call for “complete decarbonization” by 2050, remain silent on global jihad against Christians

Catholic bishops call for “complete decarbonization” by 2050, remain silent on global jihad against Christians

Complete decarbonization? You first, fellas. No more jetting to Rome to cause trouble for everyone by canonizing hard-Left Democratic Party policies. And let’s see you portly prelates start bicycling from parish to parish — no more driving for you, McManus. That wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.
While the bishops call for this destruction of the global economy, they continue to ignore a genuine and growing threat from the global jihad.  Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignatius Ephrem Joseph III Younan recently appealed to the West “not to forget the Christians in the Middle East.” And he is not the only one. “Why, we ask the western world, why not raise one’s voice over so much ferocity and injustice?” asked Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI). The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III has also said: “I do not understand why the world does not raise its voice against such acts of brutality.”
I do. It’s because the bishops in the West believe that the spurious and self-defeating “dialogue” they’re conducting requires them to be silent about Muslim persecution of Christians: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013
That’s why bishops such as McManus, Kevin Farrell of Dallas, Jaime Soto of Sacramento and others move actively to silence and demonize voices that tell the truth about this persecution. Meanwhile, their “dialogue” hasn’t persuaded a single jihadi to lay down his arms. Nor has it prevented a single Christian from being murdered by Muslims in pursuit of that jihad. Nor has it kept a single church from destruction at the hands of those jihadis.
The Church could have and should have been a voice for a genuinely charitable response to the jihad threat, and a robust defense of the value of Judeo-Christian civilization. Instead, it parrots Leftist talking points about climate change.
Francis and bishops
Global bishops call for ‘complete decarbonisation’ by 2050,” AFP, October 26, 2015:
Bishops launched a global appeal Monday for a break-through at upcoming Paris climate talks, including a “complete decarbonisation” of the world’s economy and more help for poor countries battling the effects of climate change.
The bishops said any agreement “should limit global temperature increases to avoid catastrophic climatic impacts, especially on the most vulnerable communities”.
From across five continents they called “not only for ‘drastic reduction in the emission of carbon dioxide and other toxic gasses’, but also for ending the fossil fuel era”.
The goal should be “complete decarbonisation by mid-century, in order to protect frontline communities suffering from the impacts of climate change, such as those in the Pacific Islands and in coastal regions”.
The November 30-December 11 conference in Paris will be the culmination of six years of work since the ill-fated 2009 Copenhagen climate summit, which failed to lock down significant agreements.
The bishops urged those taking part to “keep in mind not only the technical but particularly the ethical and moral dimensions of climate change” as laid out in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
“Those responsible for climate change have responsibilities to assist the most vulnerable in adapting and managing loss and damage and to share the necessary technology and knowhow,” they said in a statement….

Pakistan: Muslims abduct Christian woman, forcibly convert her to Islam, threaten life of her Christian fiancé

  BY 

The  Qur’an says that “there is no compulsion in religion,” (2:256), but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, the journalists who were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam — even though their conversions were obviously coerced, their captors made them say that they were converting freely, and the captors probably believed that themselves. After all, the journos could have chosen to be killed instead.
Sajid Masih Bashir Masih
“Christian life in danger in Pakistan,” Pakistan Christian Post, October 24, 2015:
CHANGA MANGA: October 24, 2015. (PCP) A Christian man namely Sajid Masih’s life in danger after his Christian fiancée was abducted and forcibly converted to Islam and given in marriage with a Muslim man namely Allah Rakha.
Sajid Masih was got engaged with a Christian woman namely Nabila Bibi for one year ago. Sajid has made plan and arrangements to get solemnized marriage in coming next month of November, [sic] 2015 but his fiancée Nabila Bibi was abducted by a Muslim man Allah Rakha. Sajid and father of his fiancée namely Bashir Masih, his cousins Antzar Masih and Qaisar Masih along with other family members searched [for] her and later submitted a complaint against unknown person at Changa Manga Police Station which was not entertained until now.
On 16 October, 2015, some men in plain clothes came to Bashir Masih home and informed and warned him that her daughter converted to Islam and got married with a Muslim man Allaha Rakha and they gave some documents of her daughter’s conversion to Islam and marriage certificates as a proof.
Yesterday 22 October, 2015, Sajid Masih along with his cousins Antzar Masih and Qaisar Masih and father of his fiancée went to the given home address of Muslim man. When they met with Allah Rakha and with other fifteen to twenty men, they asked them that they wanted to meet with Nabila Bibi. They flatly refused and warned that she is now Muslim and threatened them with dire consequences if they would not leave their village and try to come again but they insisted to meet her, then the Muslims men captured them and made them hostage in a Haveli. The whole night they remained hostage and early in the morning they got chance to flee from the Haveli.
Today again some Muslim men came at home of Bashir Masih and asked where Sajid Masih is residing and Masih told them that he was living at Village Kot Nanak Singh Wala, Changa Manga, then those men went to look for Sajid at his home. Now he is living in hiding. Sajid came to Sardar Mushtaq Gill, Human Rights Defender and told the whole tragedy and requested for legal assistance.
In such issues, the victim’s family usually registers case FIR for abduction or rape with the local police station. The rapist, on behalf of the victim girl, registers a counter case FIR, accusing the Christian family of harassing the willfully converted and married woman and for forcing to convert the woman back to Christianity and sometime it become danger to life if Christian family take legal action against Muslim man.
In most cases, the victim girl may be subjected to sexual violence, rape, forced prostitution, human trafficking and sale, or other domestic abuse or discarded from home after passing some time.

Sweden: Journalist stoned while trying to film in no-go zone

Sweden: Journalist stoned while trying to film in no-go zone

A few months ago it was “racist,” “bigoted” and “Islamophobic” even to point out that such areas existed. No one remembered to tell the Muslims who live in them.
Valentina Xhaferi
“WATCH: Journalist Stoned While Trying To Film In Swedish No Go Zone,” by Liam Deacon,Breitbart, October 27, 2015:
A Swedish journalist attempting to make a movie about the residents of a Swedish no go zone and their habit of throwing stones at police has herself been attacked and had stones thrown at her as she attempted to film.
They thought we crossed the limit and that we were standing on their land,” journalist Valentina Xhaferi told Swedish newspaper Expressen.
Ms Xhaferi planned on investigating police reports that any officer trying to patrol the Stockholm district of Tensta – with its foreign born population now over 70 per cent – would be pelted with rocks. She wanted to get behind the black headlines and find out what was really troubling the poor residents.
So along with a cameraman, she traveled into the suburb to film their report last week. They had set up their recording equipment in a small, central square, and spoken to a man who had agreed to be interviewed.
But as they waited, another man, who appeared to be upset, approach to ask why they were filming. He went away only to return with his gang.
“Then he became very, very angry and said he’ll get stones and show us what stoning is. When I saw that he was armed with a stone I just wanted to get out of there,” said Ms Xhaferi.
At this point more three men appeared from a subway and demanded to know what they were doing. The camera was recording, and captured the moment the men kicked the equipment to the floor, shouted insults at Ms. Xhaferi and poured coffee on the cameraman before running off…
Police estimate that there are around 55 such areas in Sweden similar to the Tensta no go zone, which was the site of a riot in 2012, and which boasts a 95-100 per cent foreign origin rate for children living there.http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/10/sweden-journalist-stoned-while-trying-to-film-in-no-go-zone
