Biden admin to Catholic hospital: Blow out your sanctuary candle, or else

"Sanctuary candles denote the presence of Jesus in the transubstantiated Eucharist residing in the tabernacle, just as it does for the church at St. Francis."

Miracle in Missouri? Body of Benedictine Sisters’ Foundress Thought to Be Incorrupt

"Hundreds of pilgrims have descended on a Benedictine monastery for religious sisters in rural Missouri in recent days after news began to spread on social media last week that the recently exhumed remains of the contemplative order’s African American foundress appear to be incorrupt, four years after her death and burial in a simple wooden coffin.

Known for her devotion to the traditional Latin Mass and her faithfulness to Benedictine contemplation and the Liturgy of the Hours, she died at age 95 on May 29, 2019, on the Solemnity of the Ascension.

Roughly four years later, on the Solemnity of the Ascension in the Latin Rite, the abbess and sisters decided to move her body to a final resting place inside their monastery chapel, a long-standing custom for founders and foundresses.

Expecting to find bones, the Benedictine sisters instead unearthed a coffin with an apparently intact body, even though the body was not embalmed, and the wooden coffin had a crack down the middle that let in moisture and dirt for an unknown length of time during those four years.

The body was covered in a layer of mold that had grown due to the high levels of condensation within the cracked coffin. Despite the dampness, little of her body and nothing of her habit disintegrated during the four years.

The Catholic Church has a long-standing tradition of so-called “incorruptible saints,” more than a hundred of whom have been beatified or canonized. The saints are called incorruptible because years after their death parts of or even the entirety of their bodies are immune to the natural process of decay. Even with modern embalming techniques, bodies are subject to natural processes of decomposition.

The lack of decay is also seen as a sign of holiness: a life of grace lived so closely to Christ that sin with its corruption does not proceed in typical fashion but is miraculously held at bay."

Natural burial

[rick49]

is America slowly trying to replace Christianity with satanism.

"Bud Light enlists a trans ladyface minstrel to sell beer. Target hires a trans Satanist to design LGBT clothes for kids and starts selling “binding” and “tucking” swimwear. North Face launches a marketing campaign featuring a creepy drag performer hocking LGBT gear to children ages 2 to 7. The Los Angeles Dodgers (pro baseball team) gives an award to a demonic hate group whose sole purpose is to blaspheme and profane the Catholic faith."

California ethnic studies pushes in-school pagan prayers to Aztec gods

"Aztec gods were worshipped with brutal human sacrifice, including ripping the beating heart out of a victim. Aztec worship is associated with black magic, cannibalism, bloodletting and the flaying of victim’s bodies to provide a skin suit worn as “golden clothes” by Aztec priests, the suit says. Victim’s hearts were often burned in offering and the dead bodies then fed to animals or eaten by the people. Other victims were fastened to frames and shot full of arrows, with their blood dripping down like the “fertile spring rains.”

“The Aztecs regularly performed gruesome and horrific acts for the sole purpose of pacifying and appeasing the very beings that the prayers from the curriculum invoke,” Jonna said in a news release."

I've no idea what this has to do with advent

[flatandy]

Also, it's hysterical screaming

[voice]

Its funny how the dominant religion in the US, one so powerful its working successfully to undermine the very foundation of their constitution, the separation of church and state, and is well on the road to becoming a theocracy can still pretend they've being oppressed when people seek to shore up the separation of church and state.

[rick49]

I've no idea what this has to do with advent

it's a religious thread. where should i have put it,,,in the ukraine war thread?

Also, it's hysterical screaming

anything you disagree with is "hysterical screaming."

[rick49]

now the things post qualifys as hysterical screaming.

[rick49]

and it's interesting the thing plays the separation of Church and state card, but is silent on making school kids pray and chant to aztec gods.

[voice]

Stop making sh!t up idiot, I know it's never occurred to you, but simply lying your ass off is not a winning tactic.
