Needed Protests, Euthanasia & Women Doctors
Cardinals & Bishops Ask Formal Apology
It is good to see that your initiative of asking President Macron for a formal apology for the blasphemous mockery at the Olympics Opening was mirrored by members of the Conciliar Church hierarchy.
The indignation of the faithful was of such magnitude that even Prelates who normally are lenient toward homosexuality and transgenderism felt obliged, in order to keep their followers, to take a strong position.
Indeed, three Cardinals and 24 Bishops signed a letter to the directors of the Olympics demanding a formal retraction for that desecration.
In Jesus through Mary,
P.M.

Blood Libel Saints, Martyred by the Jews
Salve Maria,
I was looking on Instagram and found that in a chat one person put a video about Andreas von Rinn, an Austrian boy who was ritually murdered by Jews.
I looked online to find out more about him, and found that Pope Benedict XV allowed the local cult to continue (some pages say he beatified him), but the local bishop in 1995 forbade the cult to Andreas von Rinn.
As I was trying to find more information, I found a list of blood-libel Saints, compiled by a person antipathetic to the Faith.
The information could be useful. At the very least it shows the terrible wickedness of Judaism.
In Jesu et Maria,
S.B.

Dear S.B.,
Thank you for the information.
The list of Martyrs offered in the book Blood Libel Saints, posted by the Fordham University corroborates the list of cities where ritual murdering took place, according to the Jewish scholar Prof. Ariel Toaff in his book Bloody Passovers. In the book review Mr. Guimarães wrote about this work you can find the mentioned list of cities.
It is a serious matter which in future times the Catholic Church has the obligation to re-study and issue a final appraisal.
Cordially,

Should Women Work as Doctors?
Thank you for the powerful information you are providing.
What is your opinion, should women work as physicians? You probably say that to be a surgeon, for example, is not a job for women, but other fields? 12th century Hildegard von Bingen has medicinal and scientific writings.
But for some reason it seems that maybe women should not be doctors at all.
I myself as a woman have graduated from medical school, but as a traditional Catholic I don´t feel comfortable in this field for some reason.
Thank you,
Dr. L.K.

TIA responds:
Dear Dr. L.K.,
We are glad to hear you have benefitted from our work.
In order to answer your question, we will distinguish some types of doctor work to see which ones are suitable for women.
There are fields of medicine that should not be exercised by women.
You mentioned surgery, it is one of them. But it is not the only one; those fields that suppose women to handle violent accidents with graphic display of broken bones, exposition of internal organs or great profusions of blood are not good for women on a normal basis.
To become a physician who has to examine both men and women and has to be familiar with all parts of the human body is not in accordance with the nature of women. There are demands of propriety and modesty that prevent a woman from examining men, and particularly their private parts. A woman can do this with her husband or perhaps with her very young boys, but when she goes to examine any other man, it is positively inappropriate.
Here you have some specific fields to avoid.
In general, a doctor has to have some authority over his patient. Now, since a woman in principle should be submissive, to exert this authoritative function leads to a clash between her nature and her profession. Women who normally exert this authority over others tend to adopt a feminist mindset. We believe that a part of the psychological discomfort women feel when they are doctors could be explained by this clash.
Nonetheless, women are very much inclined to help healing others, treating sicknesses and making and administering remedies. These have been traditional practices of women. In the past women of the household often grew herbs, which they used to create various natural remedies as St. Hildegard did.
Women are naturally suited to the role of midwife, a commendable occupation. In parallel, we do not see any inconvenience in women caring for other women’s diseases and helping them to heal. Women often feel more comfortable seeing a woman doctor.
The care of babies’ health can as well greatly benefit from women’s natural tenderness and patience.
Nursing is also a good occupation for women, as they care for the patients without occupying the position of doctor. Many queens and noble ladies have performed the duties of a nurse to help their subjects in dire times. Countless women saints such as St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St. Margaret of Scotland and St. Hedwig were known for their care of the sick. However, they did not study medicine or get a degree in nursing for the sake of a career or to compete with men, as is often the primary concern of women entering the medical field today.
Traditional Catholic women should strive to imbibe the spirit of these great saints by putting aside worldly pursuits in their study of medicine or offering nursing care, understanding that if they are called to heal others it should be for the purpose of fulfilling those roles that suit women.
Here are some considerations that we offer with the intention of helping you.
Cordially,
TIA correspondence desk

A friend from France sent me a news report showing the photo below, which shows a bus with the photo of the blasphemous representation of the Last Supper with the slogan “Stop Attacks on Christians.”
The press informs us that the bus circulated in the 8th and 16th arrondissements (neighborhoods) of Paris, which happen to be where the wealthiest people live. At times the bus stopped at strategic places.
I am glad that those Catholics did this and give them my strongest support.
The news is here in French. If some of readers are not familiar with this language, an automatic translation can give him the idea of what happened, although the reporter is a “non-denominational” informer.
Best regards,
A.T.
