ON BEING SICK AND TIRED OF 'HUMANITARIAN' POLITICIANS

I really got angry this morning.   The Biased Broadcasting Corporation I am used to but when politicians jump in with their nonsense trying to prove their humanity I reach for the sick bowl.   We have a situation in Syria where people are being rounded up and murdered, where men are being beheaded by savages and some put in a net and burned alive.  Where women, girls and even children are being shared out as sex slaves, not to mention the usual killing by bombs and bullets.   It is from this that the refugees are fleeing and we are being so very kind, yes, you can come into my home but please do not ask us to get involved in a war we would just make the region unstable.   I have never heard such hypocrisy.  What could be worse than the brutality the people in Syria face.  What could be so worse that it destabilised the region?    But again wearing their 'humanity' on their sleeve, certain politicians began attacking the 'real' enemy - the Conservatives.    The public was invited to shed tears for a young ISIS fighter who was part of the atrocities committed by ISIS.   Was his death justified?  We apparently need more information for back home in Britain he was a nice young man.  Everything has to be 'transparent'.   Well, yes of course it has to be and we now know that the drone that killed him was controlled from RAF Wallington - thank you BBC that information was vital.    But of course to be truly humanitarian he who fights for the highest number of refugees we take will go to the top of the class.   We are only taking 20,000 it should be 40,000.  No, why not make it 100,000 so put me  at the top of the class.   Yes we can all talk numbers but really it is all a question of logistics.  Can we settle them?   The number has to be equal to the accommodation we can make available.  Nobody seems to bother bout this.    It is all just the game of humanity.

So let me just find some accommodation.    The Pope has said we should be ready share with the refugees and I am ready to ignore the cowardly politicians and get on with it.   The Catholic Church in my area has property they can certainly offer - if anyone gets  round to think about the subject.   there are two large houses and flats that could be used immediately, or the flats converted into family homes.   I wait to see if I have to draw attention to them.   We must pray for all families and cherish all families whatever race or religion for families are the building blocks of civil society.    God bless the refugees.

Translation of Luke 1: 28 in the Latin Vulgate by St Jerome.

.......et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit have gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus..... If indeed we are to have a Year of the Bible and indeed praise St Jerome, as indeed he deserves to be praised, for translating the texts approved by the Church into Latin, the language of the Mass, then surely we should check what the Latin says according to St Jerome before we rush into translating into other languages.    In this case translating  from the Gospel of Luke, St Jerome wrote the above, which translates  "..and entering the angel said to her 'Hail full of grace the Lord is with you and blessed are you among women".   Now you do not have to be a scholar to realise that this means much more than 'highly favoured'.   So why I ask myself does the translation we read in our Catholic Church at the gospel read 'highly favoured' rather than 'full of grace'  Why is this important?   Because if she was born 'full of grace' t

FAIR AS THE MOON, BRIGHT AS THE SUN, TERRIBLE AS AN ARMY SET IN BATTLE ARRAY

'Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array'. The above quote will be familiar to only a few Catholics today,   It was once on the lips of members of the Legion of Mary which was present in many parishes.    Fair as the moon and bright as the sun certainly describes Our Lady of Fatima but who exactly is meant by 'terrible as an army set in battle array?'   Certainly Our Lady appeared to ask us to pray for the conversion of sinners many of who were going to Hell for their sins as forewarned by her Son Jesus when he preachedHis Gospel.  Often we are trying and feel we are succeeding in living good lives when suddenly everything goes wrong  Like St Paul we often do the things we do not want to do rather than those that we want to do.   It is because we are involved in a war between Good and Evil and we are the children of Mary that the red Dragon wishes to devour in Revelations 12    We

The meaning of 'virgo Immaculata'

Image
As you will see from the stained glass window the name given to the image is Virgo Immaculata.   Mary was the virgin who remained sinless and spotless.  Yes she would have been tempted by Satan, but as the image shows she kept close to God in prayer and all the wiles of Satan, the forbidden fruit he offered, depictdd by the apple, ended up stuck in his throat while the right foot of Mary crushed his head. "I will put enmity between Thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed", God tole the serpent in Genesis   Satan was no match for Jesus who was God made Man but he had overcome a mere mortal before in Eve, What a triumph it would have been to destroy she whom Jesus loved above al others - his mother.   But Mary kept close to Jesus and to God, the new Eve, and mother of the new children that the death of Jesus brought into being.    And as Revelations 12 tells us having failed to destroy the birth of Jesus Satan  went after her other children - us.       When
