Normandy church terror: ISIS knifemen slit throat of priest, 84, and take nuns hostage
A PRIEST had his throat slit and several others were taken hostage after armed men stormed a church in Normandy during morning mass today, as President Francois Hollande said ISIS had declared war on France.

What’s positive about this?

Maybe it will wake the Catholic community to an awareness that the Faith is under attack both overtly by ISIS and quietly by the “Secular Progressive” American culture.

Certain “Catholics” have been lost by the actions of the Church leadership. Others have been led astray by pseudo-Catholic politicians. Still others by secular Gooferment Skrules.

Sad as it is, those lost are still “lost sheep”.

The power of government has been perverted by corrupt men to face people to act in ways they normally wouldn’t. Program after program has led us down the road to Hell.

Maybe a wakeup call is needed for each of us to say: “No more”.

One can only hop and pray that the “alarm clocks” are going off saying “Danger, Will Robertson, danger!”

Michael Napolitano of HLB has produce running through his veins
by Maggie Giuffrida | August 04, 2016

*** begin quote ***

At the ripe old age of 13, Michael Napolitano got his start in the produce industry by working under the supervision of his grandfather, who owned Samuel S. Napolitano Produce in Englewood, NJ.

During his senior year of high school, Napolitano’s grandfather suffered a stroke and was no longer able to operate the business, leaving him with no other choice but to take on a much larger leadership role, often times running the company as a one-man (or one-kid) show.

“It was tough,” recalled the now 28-year-old Napolitano. “I worked every day after school, and every Saturday and Sunday. It was a foodservice company, so I would go to the Hunts Point Terminal Market and pick up produce and take orders over the phone and would make deliveries and do inventory and divide orders.”

By the time high school graduation rolled around, it was time for the business to take a back seat so Michael could pursue a degree at Manhattan College, where he double majored in business finance and global business — both of which come in handy today in his role as a salesperson for Pompano Beach, FL-based HLB Specialties, which he joined in November 2015.

ENDNOTE: Can a Catholic vote for Clinton-Kaine?

2016-Aug-06

FROM A EMAIL FROM “CATHOLIC VOTE”

Dear CV Friend,

One of the most arresting lines in the Gospel is the shout of the crowd before Pontius Pilate:

“Crucify him!”

An echo of that chilling moment happened this week at the Democratic convention.

Ilyse Hogue, president of the radical pro-abortion group NARAL, told the convention: “I made the decision that was best for me: to have an abortion…”

And the Democratic delegates roared with approval.

Gone are the days when Democratic candidates spoke softly about the “A” word. Not long ago, their platform aimed to make abortion ‘safe, legal, and rare.’ Today, their radical agenda has been stripped of its euphemisms and phony slogans.

The official Democratic platform now calls for abortion on demand -- paid for by taxpayers like you and me. Even so-called “devout Catholic” Tim Kaine supports this extremist plan.

But it gets worse...

Not only does the party seek to advance a disgusting anti-Catholic agenda, they also plan to force you and me to agree with them and pay for it!

Just yesterday elitist Nancy Pelosi ripped “non-college educated” voters who vote against their own economic interests because of “guns, gays, and God.” Did you get that? You and I are too stupid to vote because we believe in protecting children, building strong families, and placing our faith in God.

And Hillary has warned on abortion: “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will… And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”

Yes, she said that.

Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine are now officially running to be our next President and Vice President. The duo is widely celebrated as the most pro-abortion presidential ticket in United States history. Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood can hardly contain her excitement, saying “this is the strongest reproductive rights ticket we’ve ever had.”

But Clinton-Kaine are not just running to protect the abortion industry.

They are warning us now: Catholics will be forced into submission. Our hospitals, schools, charities...our rights of conscience will be given a choice: submit or go to jail.

Unless we stop them. It’s now up to us.

But time is running short.

We have videos, mailers, parish captains, voter registration drives, online digital campaigns, and much more ready to roll -- but we’re still short on funds.

Can you chip in $15 to help us stop Clinton-Kaine? The next 90 days are critical. I am asking every CV member to chip in $5, $25, or even $50 right now!

Can a Catholic vote for Clinton-Kaine?

No. No way. Never.
 

 
Brian
