Democratic Intolerance & Teens’ Pregnancy
Chinese Underground Bishops
Here is a follow up on the situation of the Catholic Underground Church in China.
I appreciate your articles encouraging those heroic Catholics who, besides being persecuted by the communist government, are also being betrayed by the Vatican.
Keep up the good work.
M.C.
August 14, 2017 - Two elderly bishops of China’s “underground” Catholic Church – both of whom had served years in prison camps – died this past weekend.
Bishop Sylvester Li Jiantang, the retired head of the Taiyuan diocese, died on August 13 at the age of 93. Ordained in 1956, he was imprisoned from 1966 until 1980. He became Bishop of Taiyuan in 1994, serving until his retirement in 2013. But he was never recognized as a bishop by the Beijing Communist government.
Bishop Paul Xie Tingzhe died on August 14 at the age of 86. As a seminarian, he refused to join the government-backed Catholic Patriotic Association, and was imprisoned from 1960 to 1980. Upon his release he was ordained to the priesthood. In 1991, he was secretly ordained Bishop of Urumqi. Again, he was never recognized by the Communist government as a bishop.

Re: Photos & Facts
Good post, saw this presented by the Diamond brothers and at first it was hard to believe, another conspiracy theory, I always try to be objective. The brothers made a strong case, so I been doing research and found your page.
The overall evidence has swayed me to believe the two sister Lucy theory. Moreover there are differences in handwriting.
Good work and thank you

What about the St. Michael Prayer?
I appreciate your site. I was curious as to why the prayer to St. Michael fell into disuse after Vatican II. Do you have any thoughts on this?
I read your comments, that it has all but disappeared in the hurch.
Being new to the Catholic faith and the Latin Mass I have been praying it daily. Thank you.
Pax Christi,
J.B.

TIA responds:
Hello J.B.,
Thank you for your amiable words.
St. Michael is par excellence an anti-ecumenical and anti-tolerant Saint. He cast the Devil and his cohorts into Hell before the beginning of our human history, and continues his work of defeating the devils every single day.
Now then, the conciliar Church is par excellence an anti-militant Church, which has set aside almost all the symbols and models of the past militancy of the Catholic Church.
Even the manifestations of God’s justice, such as Hell, has fallen into almost complete oblivion.
For an analogous reason, silence has also fallen over St. Michael, the Angel who is the archetype of Catholic militancy. Consequently, the prayer to St. Michael followed the same destiny.
We hope this explanation helps to answer your question.
We welcome you to the Catholic Faith and pray to St. Michael to make you a perfect miles Christi, a soldier of Christ - to fight for Him and His Church in these difficult times in which we live.
Cordially,
TIA correspondence desk

Trump Cuts Support to Teens' Pregnancy
Another good point for Trump: This time he cuts the financial help for an immoral teen pregnancy program established by Obama.
Please, read and spread the news.

August 11, 2017 - President Donald Trump recently cut funding to a questionable teen pregnancy prevention program that has given millions of dollars to the abortion business Planned Parenthood.
The Hill reports pro-abortion President Barack Obama created the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program in 2010 to teach vulnerable populations of students about preventing pregnancy.
Participants in the program recently learned that their grant funding will end next year, two years sooner than expected, according to the report. Trump’s administration notified the 81 grant recipients that funding for the program is being cut by about $200 million and their grants will end on June 30, 2018, the report states.
Among the groups receiving grants to teach sex education are several Planned Parenthood affiliates.
The program administrators awarded an annual $1 million grant to Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and Hawaiian Islands to target rural teens.
The abortion group said it uses the funds to “reduce teen pregnancy rates, increase use of contraceptives and delay initiation of sexual activity among ninth- to 12th-grade youth in rural Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Hawaii.”
Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho, as well as Planned Parenthood of the Heartland also received grants of nearly $1 million each annually to promote their sex agenda to teens.
Health and Human Services Department spokesman Mark Vafiades told the New York Times that there is very little evidence that the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program is working. Vafiades said the evidence of a positive impact is “very weak,” and the Trump administration wants to support a program that “provides youth with the information and skills they need to avoid the many risks associated with teen sex.”
Democrats and abortion activists are upset by the cuts, and are sending letters to HHS Secretary Tom Price in protest. Many speculate that the cuts could mean Trump’s administration will support abstinence-based programs instead.
Here’s more from The Hill:
Valerie Huber, a prominent national abstinence education advocate, was recently named chief of staff to the assistant secretary for health, which oversees the office that manages the Teen Pregnancy Prevention program.
It’s not clear how much of a role Huber played in the decision to cut funding. But she has questioned its effectiveness in the past.
“The healthiest message for youth is one that gives youth the skills and information to avoid the risks of teen sex, not merely reduce them,” Huber wrote in an op-ed for The Hill.
“Policymakers finally have an opportunity to give American youth the reinforcement they need to continue to make healthy choices – and to normalize sexual delay for all teens and especially for those teens who currently feel pressured to have sex by social media, their favorite music – or their sex education classes.”
Many parents and communities become very upset when they learn Planned Parenthood teaches their teenagers about sex in public school. A Michigan school district recently rejected a Planned Parenthood sex education program after witnessing a strong public outcry against it.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the United States, aborting more than 300,000 unborn babies every year. The abortion chain also teaches sex education in public schools across the country, and promotes risky sexual behavior to vulnerable young teens at its clinics.
LifeNews also reported Planned Parenthood’s booklet for HIV-positive youth, “Healthy, Happy and Hot,” tells young people that it is their “human right” to not tell their partner that they have HIV.
The abortion giant also publishes multiple “resources” for children and teenagers concerning sexual activity. These materials claim to provide “age appropriate” sex education to children starting at age 4.
Planned Parenthood justifies starting sex-education at such a young age by stating, “Ideally, medical accurate sexuality education would be taught each year in our schools from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade.”

I came across this article detailing the latest attack on Confederate Civil War monuments.
I am sure we are only a short time away from all the monuments of the Confederate heros of the Civil War monuments being taken down because they were supposedly "rascist" and "violent". But will the intolerant mob show the same intolerance toward the vices of the Union Generals? For instance, won't we see the intolerant mob abide drunkenness (General U.S. Grant), Indian killing (General Sheridan) and indiscriminate destruction of civilian property (General Sherman)?
Perhaps a better question is, "What would be the reaction of the intolerant mob if a religious group forcibly removed the statue of the enthroned devil Baphomet in Oklahoma? I would hope they would cheer the action – they cheered the removal of the Confederate War monuments – but I'm not holding my breath.
Keep up the great work.
Pax,
A.M.
