TIA,

General elections will be held in India on April 23. It would be appreciated if kind-hearted Tradition in Action readers would please pray for an outcome that would be favorable to the minority communities in this country.

As things stand, the Hindu fundamentalist BJP Party has a good chance of winning.

TIA,

Just a short follow-up on the story 'The Pedophile Spiritual Director of Mother Teresa.' This February (2009) the famous Jesuit priest received 25 years in prison on abuse charges. One victim after another - grown men now - came to the stand to testify against McGuire, who appeared stoic and unrepentant. In this trial McGuire was charged of abusing one boy Dominic repeatedly on religious retreats. Watch this video.

He already was convicted of molesting two boys in Wisconsin and still has to stand trial for sexually abusing two brothers in Arizona.

The judge said what made his crimes especially evil was that McGuire had abused the trust of parents and perversely taken advantage of them.

Yes, indeed, one wonders about the discernment of Mother Teresa, who helped make this Jesuit famous by making him her spiritual director and having him give retreats for her nuns.

TIA responds:

M.C.,

Thank you for your information. Perhaps you would like to read this article on the topic you point out.

     Cordially,

TIA,

I enjoy reading your articles on the sex scandal in New Church. A traditional priest friend is concerned that since the apologies and exposes, etc. the pedophiles will again have full reign.

As a former child sex abuse investigator and so-called 'expert' on pedophile networks, I am absolutely certain that the network is intact and the abuses continue. There is no doubt, especially since Satan is at work here against the Faith. The conciliar frauds are no match for their daddy Satan.

     Keep up the good work.

TIA,

Thanks for your continued reporting on the sexual abuse crisis in the clergy (MotherTeresa's spiritual director gets 26 years). It took civil courts in this case for some little justice to be done.

Now you have another Roman Catholic priest - Fr. Thomas Teczar - found guilty FOR A SECOND TIME of sexually abusing a boy in Texas during the 90s. He raped and molested a then 11-year-old boy, and now faces up to life in prison for the scandalous and detestable crime. (Read about it here).

But where was he between this first and second conviction? The Fort Worth Diocese has assigned Teczar to work - mostly unsupervised - in the Diocese of Worcester, Mass. Another case of more moving around and protecting - supposedly AFTER the 'one strike out' policy was implemented.

I've decided the best and safest job for criminals today is the Catholic clergy. They aren't held accountable for closing their eyes to the destruction Vatican II has wreaked in the Church, and they are protected and covered when they commit sexual sins and outright crimes. Why wasn't this priest in prison long ago?

TIA,

Following on your article on "The mysterious links between Socialism, Zionism and Satanism,' I hope you will also investigate the possiblity of a link between Satanism and Hinduism. The latter, nothing but all smoke and mirrors, is gaining a stronghold in the West.

     Thank you.

TIA,

Here is something funny for you. Not really funny, more like incredibly stupid. I received a piece from Life Site News that said researchers at Pittsburgh University School of Medicine found that teenagers who regularly listened to music with explicit and aggressive sexual phrases were twice as likely to be engaged in sexual activity compared to those who avoided such music.

Writing in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, lead researcher Dr. Brian A. Primack said, "This study demonstrates that, among this sample of young adolescents, high exposure to lyrics describing degrading sex in popular music was independently associated with higher levels of sexual behavior. In fact, exposure to lyrics describing degrading sex was one of the strongest associations with sexual activity ... These results provide further support for the need for additional research and educational intervention in this area."

Are they nuts? Further research on the topic? Then what, take out the sexually explicit terms and it's okay to listen to rock music? They never go to the root of the problem - a whole lifestyle and culture of permissiveness, vulgarity, open sexuality etc. The sexual revolution was part of the cultural revolution of the 60s. Why don't the academics get it?

As you have pointed out so often, there used to be one bastion of sanity in this craziness, the Catholic Church which always preached against sexual permissiveness and the novelties of the modern world. After Vatican II, the bastion fell - the Church embraced the modern world, and today Catholic youth are no different from any others, generally speaking, even if they go to Catholic schools and universities.

Now for the final bit of wisdom from the researcher, who just can't bring himself to say NO to rock music:

"I am not saying parents should try to ban such music; that is unlikely to help," Dr. Primack said in a BBC report. Instead he suggests parents should be talking to their children about sex and putting these sorts of lyrics in context."

How do you put this kind of filth, licentiousness and pornography 'into context'? Into context of what? The modern day culture? That certainly isn't going to help anything.

You are either with the world or against it, with Christ or against him. But the government-funded researchers never consider this context.

     Keep up the good work,

     P.H.
