90 Year Old Cardinal and The Scaredy Cat Regime.

Why China feels threatened by the moral authority of a 90-year-old Catholic bishop.

Cardinal Joseph Zen will stand trial on Sept. 19, 2022, in Hong Kong for his role as a trustee of the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund. This organization paid legal fees and medical bills for Hong Kongers protesting the Extradition Law Amendment Bill. This 2019 legislation would have allowed extradition to the People's Republic of China. Many residents viewed this as a subversion of Hong Kong's semi-autonomous political system, leading to large-scale protests, political unrest and a police crackdown. It also prompted Beijing's further direct intervention in Hong Kong's governance. CT.

England Crush Pakistan By 68 Runs in T20 Finale in Lahore.

Malan took the honours with a fine 78. The England bowling was sound and Pakistan fell to the fourth largest defeat in their history.

Damnation or Not - YOUR Choice.

 Eclectic Orthodox “When someone who was lost has to be saved, it is not the time for passing judgment or making minute inquiries, but only for mercy and forgiveness”

God-damnation or Self-damnation?

“I am not going to try to prove the doctrine [of hell] tolerable,” writes C. S. Lewis in his book The Problem of Pain. “Let us make no mistake; it is not tolerable. But I think the doctrine can be shown to be moral.” Fr Lawrence Farley agrees. In “The Morality of Gehenna,” he offers an apology for eternal damnation. Making the doctrine “palatable is beyond my power or intention,” he writes, but perhaps it can be shown to be moral and just and thus reconcilable with belief in the love of God … or perhaps not.

Allowing The Marxist Left Free Rein Has Consequences.

Becky, the daughter of second-generation immigrants, was instantly labelled racist after she tried to broaden the conversation about Black Lives Matter.


Blogger: I feel physically sick! If these kind of situations are typical - multiculturalism, true Liberalism, fairness and decency no longer exist in the UK. We are victims of the new, left-inspired bigotry.
The word 'racism' now has little to do with persecution of minorities - both real and imagined - but is all about power to: the violent, the mean-spirited, the bitter, the toxic and the evil.
All my life, I have worked for a more just society and all I can now see is new - considerably worse prejudices - initiated by marxists of every hue!
Hatred between races must increase against this sordid backcloth.

That poor lass! Bless her and her family.

Chromosomes determine gender.

The drugs and surgery you do to your body can change you in many ways but the first two sentences remain absolutes.

As Christians, we must truly love these people who are doing so much harm to themselves: bodily, mentally and especially, spiritually.

Salvation Explained: All Via The Shedding of Christ's Blood and God's Grace.

 In Christianity, salvation (also called deliverance or redemption) is the "saving [of] human beings from sin and its consequences, which include death and separation from God" by Christ's death and resurrection, and the justification following this salvation.

3 - 3. England Tie The T20 Series in Pakistan With The Decider Tomorrow.

In Game 6 - England came back with a vengeance after Pakistan was put into bat.

The England attack was competent in keeping this innings to an average score but the batting was as awesome as it has recently been poor. Phil Salt was superb!

Phil Salt.

Pakistan 169-6 (20 overs): Babar 87*, Curran 2-26
England 170-2 (14.3 overs): Salt 88*, Hales 27

ImagineThe Outcry If This Man Had Preached at The Tory Conference!

 The Archbishop of York has given a sermon at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, clearly pointing the finger at the government following the announcement of the mini-budget.

Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s new plans have been heavily criticised by the Labour Party, who accuse him of only seeking to “make the rich, richer.” 

Most Rev Stephen Cottrell opened the sermon at St James in the City Church by saying: “We need to talk much more about the huge discrepancies of wealth and opportunities in our nation. PC,

Dr Scott.

Christian doctor has reached an agreement with NHS England after he was threatened with disciplinary measures for offering to pray with patients.


Dr Richard Scott, a GP who practices at Bethesda Medical Centre in Margate, Kent, was set to contest a ruling by the NHS on Monday, at a hearing at Ashford Tribunal Centre.

But the planned hearing was called-off last minute following a settlement between the two parties. 

Birdie.

 

Unforgiveness Derails Faith.

Oh Dear, Liz.

 The Tories are doomed! 

As ever,  they seem incapable of reading the mood of the nation.

The mini budget may or may not succeed but Liz Truss has utterly failed to grasp that, for many elections now, a huge proportion of voters have been alienated by politicians for failing to attack the migration crisis.
Boris let us down badly in delivering Brexit - did he ever intend to do it properly?
Against a backcloth of another huge increase in the numbers of migration visas issued, all placed alongside the sickening absence of determination to stop the criminals from Calais - Joe Public has simply had enough.
Labour will be considerably worse but the view is that the Tories MUST now be punished. 
They yielded to French fishermen; we remain in the ECHR; the Northern Ireland protocol remains like a gaping wound; criminals go unpunished - the list is a long one. On top of this, they are still talking about a bonfire of EU regulations after being in office the SIX years since Brexit!
I expect that anyone with right-of-centre views will now boycott the party even if the mini budget were to become a roaring success - and the jury is certainly still out on that one!
You might get away with all of this if there were four years remaining in which to repair the damage but the General Election is just two years away.
The Conservative Party is dead! Suicide is never pretty.

President Joe Biden delivers his “Soul of the Nation”speech
As Britain discovers from the reaction to the Queen’s death that (somewhat to its surprise) the essential sweetness of its society has not totally disappeared, the Biden administration appears to be plunging America ever more deeply into something very nasty and alarming indeed. 
The Washington Times reports:  
Rank-and-file FBI agents are accusing the Biden administration of exaggerating the threat of White supremacists and pressuring agents to cook up domestic terrorist cases involving racist extremists. 
Current and former FBI agents told the Washington Times that the perceived White supremacist threat is overblown by the administration. They said top bureau officials are pressuring FBI agents to create domestic terrorist cases and tag people as white supremacists to meet internal metrics.
“The demand for White supremacy” coming from FBI headquarters “vastly outstrips the supply of White supremacy,” said one agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “We have more people assigned to investigate White supremacists than we can actually find.”
Well, blow me down with a feather. The FBI has been repeatedly claiming that white supremacists pose as great a terrorist threat as terror groups abroad. While the threat from neo-Nazis and their ilk may well have risen in recent years, the claim sounds absurd. Around the world, the greatest terrorist threat by far still comes from Islamist terrorism.
The FBI’s claim is based in large measure on the fact that it is now investigating more neo-Nazi style terrorist threats than other kinds of terrorist threats. That doesn’t prove, though, that there are more of the former. It might merely mean the FBI have shifted their investigation priorities in accordance with the prevailing ideological dogma that only white people are bad/all white people are bad/no black or brown-skinned people can be bad because the latter are all victims of “western colonialism/imperialism/white supremacism” — a claim pushed relentlessly by hyper-partisan bodies such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Southern Poverty Law Centre. ...

Selective 'Anti-Racism Beliefs' Have A Very Weak Foundation Indeed With This Case.
